No More Rain Please!

It’s Friday, I’m drinking my coffee, running late. I did double exercises this morning and the full length walk, to doublepaint and back. Since all this rainy weather, (which I thought we might get a respite from after hurricane delta passed), we (the dogs and I) have typically been going to half mile gate and back.

This is another qualifier for the world’s most boring post award.

Have a good weekend.

No Mucho

I’m drawing a blank on today’s post. Hurricane Delta passed the Yucatan and is headed for Louisiana.

Got soaked on our walk yesterday but today’s was nice.

Below is a pic of Lenny, acting all serious.

Yesterday I could hear SMB from the house. I took a pic driving to work, but you can’t tell how rough it was. This morning it’s round on the north.

I was sleeping really good when the alarm went off, glad tomorrow is Friday!

Then & Now

Below is a picture of our house from 2009, below that is a pic from Nov 2020.

In both, the hurricane shutters are closed and ready for an approaching storm.

We were lucky with Hurricane Delta, It took a westward jog that put us out of the path. We had a little wind and a little rain, not bad at all. In fact, it was sunny yesterday afternoon, although it’s rainy and cloudy this morning. We all got soaked on our walk, the dogs and I.

Also, this morning I could hear the sruf from Seven Mile Beach. I live near the north and if I can hear the surf on the north, it’s pretty rough. Seven Mile Beach is quite far from the house and I don’t ever remember hearing it from home before today.

Playa Del Carmen and a lot of the Yucatan are getting ready for a bad day.

In the recent house picture above, you can ssee where I’m grinding out the cracks in the driveway, filling them with filler. I’m really pleased with the results and can tell it’s going to extend the live of the driveway considerably.

Have a good day!

Delta: Not Much Happening

It’s been a pretty milld hurricane, very little rain, hardly any wind.

Cayman is in the yellow zone, 50% chance of tropical force winds.

Last night the storm scooched over to the west a little, taking us further out of the path.

The airport is closed and we’re all off work. The equipment has been shut down.

Hopefully it will be a nice, lazy day.

Stuck In The Middle

Cayman Islands is pretty much in the middle of this one. Depression Twenty-six, due to become Tropical Storm Delta.

We’re making minor preparations, fill the water bottles, close the hurricane shutters. This storm should change from 26 to Delta any minute.

Not really worried, it was a wonderful day yesterday and I was finally able to get the second coat of sealer on the second half of the backporch/roof of the apartment. And I grinded out and sealed the rest of the cracks in the driveway.

I just hope I get to go snorkling at lunchtime!

Life On Mars (one of them)

Happy Friday! I don’t have much to post about today, the rain continues.

The Wife and I started a new series last night, Life on Mars. About a police officer who gets hit by a car and wakes up in the 1970s. We watched one episode, and I liked it, I think more than the Wife did.

On IMDB, there’s several series entitled “Life On Mars”, it’s the one on the left.

I hope this is a quiet weekend, I don’t think it will be. Sunday there’s a boat trip that I’m hoping will be cancelled because of the weather. Saturday the Wife had something else, I can’t remember right now.

Have a quiet weekend.

Nice Wet Morning

Had a nice walk this morning. Below is a picture of the moon going down behind clouds and a ship on the horizon. I haven’t seen a ship at sea since the covid lockdown started.

We’re supposed to have rain every day for as long as any weather app can see. Two people have said “Well, October is a rainy month anyway”. Both used exactly the same words. Really? I never knew that October was a particularly rainy month. Guess I do now!

Oh, and it’s October first, don’t forget to flip your calendar pages!

Havva good month!

Doesn’t Happen To Normal People

I recieved a spare wireless charger cradle for my watch. Naturally, it doesn’t work. Below are photos from my one star, Amazon review.

I have bad luck with things ordered from Amazon. Without even thinking hard, I recal two bad camera gimballs, umteen bad wireless keyboards for my old Samsung S3 tablet, bad melatonin, this charger, and books on my first ever Amazon order.

Anyway, no harm, no foul. I’m out $15 plus probably $20 duty and handling fees.

We have a good good good chance of some rain coming in these next few days, as depicted in the image above. Which is fine by me. Although I sometimes gripe a lot, inside I feel peaceeful and calm.

Have a peacful, calm day!

A Series Of Short Naps

For most of my life, I’ve considered myself an insomniac. I’ve had a couple years of good sleeping, but I worry that those years are over.

I get home from work, exhausted, I stay awake till I’m not tired anymore, then it’s bedtime. I go to bed and can’t sleep. I get up, walk around the house. Lay down again. Sometimes I look at the clock and notice some time has unexpectedly gone by, 45 minutes or an hour. Apparently, I was asleep for a few minutes, although not that I’m aware of. Then I’m awake, and repeat the cycle.

There’s no joy of sleeping, no comfort, no awareness of being asleep. I just go bed and restlessly spend the time till the alarm.

Blame the melatonin, throw it away, it’s a bad batch, buy new. Blame the pillow, blame the tempurature, blame the snoring dog, but it’s none of that.

I’m just an insomniac.

Leftover Leftovers

Yesterday evening my wife had a co-workers birthday to attend. She recommended that for dinner, I have some chicken that was left over from her lunch. This particular chicken was left over from our dinner a couple nights ago.

Therefore, I had leftover leftovers for dinner last.night.

Below is today’s history lesson for you:

Have a wonderful weekend!
