Last night was a night of weird dreams, I remember them all, and I remember them not at all. I remember a passed out on the floor old man, very skinny, and I was getting ready to give him CPR and ventilate him. I remember another drunk guy, so drunk that he was staggering around, barely able to stand, but there were dozens of elastic strings attached to his glass that went out like wheel spokes to the walls, so he couldn’t spill his drink. I remember being at my old FM transmitter site, and I wsn’t supposed to be there. I remember power dropping off one transmitter and then came back up. There were candy vending machines next to the transmitters and they looked the same. I dreamt about tourists in an overheating Chevrolet van with a leaky radiator. Tey asked me for help, and I took the whole engine out, looking for the leak and then found a black rubber hose in the bottom of the completely empty engine compartment with water coming out. I was thinking that I had no idea where the hose was supposed to go and that I had no idea how to put the engine back together.

I guess that’s when I woke up.

I had no idea what I was going to write when I sat down, and all this just flowed out.

Yesterday it rained pretty hard, but not for very long. I haven’t checked the weather yet today, but yesterdays said rain all week.

I just went and looked, here it is:

It’s pretty much the only weather I use for local weather. It’s a cool website, not an app. If you go to the website, see the button in the left collum that says “Ships Near”? That’s pretty cool too. You can zoom out and slide it around and see all the ships at sea all over the world. The weather comes from sombodies little private weather station at their house I think.

Aaaaand I rekkon that’s about it for today. I don’t feel good, I don’t feel bad, perfectly neutral. It’s weird asking myself how I feel and not being able to figure the answer. Am I crazy?

Have a great day!

I saw this on Facebook last night and laughed out loud. Seriously, how often, when you’re alone, or in public, do you actually laugh out loud? People type “LOL” all the time, but people seldom do it. I read once that readers preferred to read “Ha Ha” over “LOL”

I guess nobody liked my Friday Porno post. Probably because of the word “porno” in the title. My readers are pretty much a “G” rated bunch. (that rhymes)

It was a nice weekend, I mowed the yard and went to the beach. I also modified my espresso spoon. I ordered one of these on Amazon.

but it was too short, so I sawed it in half, put a dowel in the middle, with epoxy and four nuts and bolts, wood stained it, and now it looks like this:

I really like it. It now reaches to the bottom of my coffee container, and makes your coffee taste better.

It’s a beautiful morning, but the weatherman says 85% chance of rain. In fact, he says rain all week. So I won’t be riding the scooter today.

It was super hard to wake up this morning, the past several days, I’ve been waking up at 4:30, before the alarm, and getting up, and enjoying the mornings. Not today! I feel good though.

Have a wonderful day, and a great week!

Well, as I mentioned, I can now see my followed sites on the WordPress App, I wasn’t logged into my ancient WordPress.com account, I was only logged into my real account, MarkD60.com. Now, since I’m logged on to both, I can again upload images using the WordPress app. This makes me think that my images are uploading to wordpress.cm and not MarkD60.com. Which may not matter, or be bad. What if I deleted the WordPress account? Would a large percentage of my photos here disappear? Just an observation. I’m not going to worry about it today.

Have a great weekend!

In Cayman, there’s a phenomenon called the Cayman Cloud. As the tradewinds blow across the island, the warmer land forms a long, ribbonlike cloud, that you see in the picture above. Very common, and it can rain, even when there’s no chance of rain, as far as the weather forcasters predict.

From my observations, it happens most on the south side of the island. Why it doesn’t cover the whole island, I don’t know. I suspect because of the North Sound.

But it sure sucks when my lunch beach is the only cloudy beach on the whole island! It didn’t happen yesterday, when I took this picture, but it happens too often for my liking!

Have a great day!

I am able to now see my followed sites on the WordPress App. I was logged into this site, markd60.com, but not my old, unused, invisible, obsolete wordpress.com site.

So I’ll be back to commenting on your neglegted blogs again! Half my followed sites are on Feedly, half are on the WordPress App. I’ve been meaning to transfer them over to Feedly, but you know, well… procrastination is sloth in five syllables.

Had a good walk/swim this morning, today the weather is looking good and I’m taking the scooter, dammit!

Work is very frustrating lately. There’s a line, and the people on one side of the line cannot or will not listen to anybody on the other side of the line. We’ve had a problem for six years, for six years, I’ve been saying “Let’s do this”. For six years, every time it comes up, they say, “Lets do this instead”. Finally, they hired a consultant, who does what I said in the beginning. The same thing is happening again. And it’s frustrating.

Yesterday my gut instince told me to call in sick, but I diddn’t, and I went to work and instantly wished I did, and it went on all day.

I don’t care, because I don’t bring it home with me.Have a great day!

I have nothing to post about today, so I’m just going to upload some picture pictures I took yesterday and Sunday, from our yard.

This is from a bush that I dug  up  at a construction site several years ago. They grow wild around the island.

It always seems to be hard to get them in perfect focus.

These are from a tall, grasslike plant that grows at the beach.  We have some in a pot, in our yard,

The same flower, it seems like they enjoy having good dirt, instead os straight beach sand.

Orchids in my wife’s ‘screen house’

It started out kinda cloudy, with thunderstorm-looking clouds over the south, so I took the van. I’m at work now, and it’s nice and sunny, which is good! I was halfway to work when I realized I didn’t pubish this yet, so here goes!

Have a great day!

I had a busy weekend, I pressure washed, and started painting the house! Saturday I pressure washed, Sunday, I painted.

I was happy with the way it looked after pressure washing,but I had already bought the paint..

It looks pretty good to me. My wife wants to paint it a different color, and we can, but painting the same color means I can paint piece by piece. A new color would have to be done all at once.

The back was a lot worse, a couple years ago, I rented a pressure washer, with higher PSI than mine, and it didn’t get much of the black off.

I’m super happy with my pressure washer. There must have been something wrong with the one I rented..

I still have to do stanchions and the sides of the house, but it looks a lot better than when I started. It was embarassing to me before.. The sides of the house aren’t bad at all, the black was from the rainwater pouring off the porches in the front and back.

And now it’s back to work. If you recall, work forced us to put in ffor our vacation at the beginning of the year, I have time off for Christmas, already booked, but Friday, I was informed that I still have four days to use before the end of the year! That’s not bad! Next year, I plan on refusing to submit leave requests at the beginning of the year. It messes us up as a family. Part of the reason I didn’t go to Costa Rica with my wife is because I didn’t have enough vacation.

I still can’t find my followed blogs list on the wordpress app. I asked on the forums yesterday. No good answers yet.

The weather looks fairly good. Might be a scooter day, not sure. I’ll have to check the weather forecast, and then see if I believe them.

Have a great week!

Yesterday I didn’t post, I sat right here where I’m sitting now, and let the opportunity pass.

Now it’s Friday, and today, the wife goes to Costa Rica for two weeks. I’m planning on painting part of house while she’s gone. She doesn’t know. She wants to make it a different color, but I’m going to use the same color and just paint the bad patches. We can still repaint later if she wants to change the color. The whole house doesn’t need to be painted, it just has bad spots where the water flows off the porch. I got a bunch of paint cards from the hardware store and have matched the color pretty well, the faded color of the old paint. In the picture below, you can see the gray where the water has flowed off the porch.

I’m glad it’s Friday, hopefully, it will be an easy day at work. Usually, that’s the day the boss wants to start new stuff.

Have a great weekend! Hope it doesn’t rain!

I started to go for my walk this morning, carrying an umbrella. I walked about a block and decided I was an idiot. Came home. It was raining pretty steady.

The WordPress App has pretty much gone bad on me. I unubstalled and reinstalled it, and now, not only will it not upload images, I can’t find the blogs I follow in the reader part of the app.

I’ll pretty much be trying to stay dry today, it’s supposed to rain forever.

Have a great day!

All the coolest blog poster children are doing this new thing called “Two Pic Tuesday”. It’s pretty complicated, what you do, is wait till Tuesday. (That’s the hardest part). Then (on Tuesday) post two pictures.

Allow me to demonstrate:

See? That’s all there is to it!

Here it is a lugubrious morning. wet, rain off-and-on. I don’t have much motivation to go to work. But if you think about it, a lugubrious day like this is good for working. Save the sunny days for days off work! But when the weather is lugubrious, I seem to feel lugubrious too.

Lugubrious. I like the word lugubrious. It’s one of my favorite words. Another one of my favorite words is orts. “Hey mom! What’s for dinner tonight?” “Oh, we’re just having orts tonight.” “Ewwwww, that makes us feel lugubrious!!”

Have a great day!
