I’ve been working on a video of this weekends dive, but it’s currently 18 minutes long and over a gig. I think that’s too long and needs some more trimming. Plus there’s no music background and just the sound of beathing. Not sure which I like better.

Going through on other phase of “Thought of a good topic yesterday but can’t remember it now.” Someday I will learn to write it down. I always think “I’ll Never forget that one!!!”

It’s a cloudy Tuesday Take care.

Officially, 4:30 yesterday morning, the Grand Cayman quarantine ended. In a nutshell, the only restrictions now are masks in public places indoors and social distancing.

I went diving yesterday and it was great. Went to a birthday party in the afternoon, and it wasn’t. There was no social distancing, the people with masks had them around their neck or in their hand, or in their car. My wife and I were wearing our masks, and we left very soon after arrivng. People don’t get it. Everyone knows a cloth mask can’t stop a virus. What the mask does is stop the aerosol particles that come out your mouth and nose when you talk or sneeze or cough. In other words, the mask doesn’t protect you, it protects the people around you. The surgeon in the operating room isn’t wearing the mask to protect himself from the patient, he’s wearing it to protect the patient.

Not wearing your mask is very disrespectful.

Hopefully a scuba video will be coming tomorrow. My main drawback is a decent Android editor. I don’t tolerate editors that flash advertisements in my face when I’m using it, then leave a watermark on my video. The developer gets paid by his advertisers, if he wants to advertise on my video, he has to pay me.

I mentioned earlier about the one word spammers. Had ‘ em hit this weekend. I think they just test the anti spam of sites.

I used to just delete them, but now I mark them as spam. Your comments are auto approved, of course, if you’ve already had approved comments.

Have a great week!

HAPPY FRIDAY! I slept good! I went to bed and woke up right before the alarm went off. Hopefully yesterday’s post jinxed my fear of becoming an insomniac again.

It’s Friday, rainy cloudy. Scuba diving opens up this coming Sunday.

Everything’s looking good right now. Have a good weekend!

It was a couple of good years of good sleep, but I’m afraid my insomnia has returned. The last two nights I’ve been awake all night, seen every hour of the clock.

I did snooze a little though, I remember I was laying in bed, figuring it was almost time for the alarm to go off, looked at the clock and it was a little past midnight. Then I looked at the clock again and thought it said midnight, but upon closer examination, it was 1:20 AM. I notice a new icon on my phone, it was “Pending Alarm”. I cleared it and then my alarm didn’t go off this morning, I woke up on my own at 5AM, 15 minutes late.

Yesterday, my wife picked the one Oti Apple, (Jamaican Apple) from our first crop of our tree.

She germinated the seed 10 years ago, and we got our first fruit this year. Next year will certainly be a better crop.

Yesterday afternoon, walking the dogs, I felt what seeemed like a string breaking in my let calf and instantly had what felt like a really bad cramp. I limped home and figured I was maimed for life, but it seems to be getting better this morning.

Have a wonderful day!

Below is the video from last weekend that I meant to post yesterday. We were lucky we got this snorkel in when we did, because afterwards, it started raining. Wouldn’t want to get wet!

The video is edited on Android, made from about 17 separate videos and there’s no transitions between clips. I’m looking for another video editing app that has this feature.

It’s a cloudy Wednesday here, I was thinking yesterday was Monday till just now. Have a good day!

It was a good weekend, yesterday, (Monday) was a holiday here. Sunday morning, the wife, our friend Emma and I went for a 90 minute snorkel. My plan for today’s post was to upload a video of aforementioned snorkel. However, according to calculations made by YouTube, my 5 minute video will take approximately 60 minutes to upload. In 60 minutes, I’ll be at work and today’s post will be posted, video or not.

It was a rainy weekend, it started Sunday after we got back home and rained pretty good through yesterday. It’s still cloudy and more rain is expected today.

Hopefully tomorrow my video will be posted, that is if YouTube doesn’t explode from me switching networks mid upload.

Have a good week!

Not much today, just a few pictures from the week.

Elephant Ears on our porch, I find the pattern and colors in the leaves to be amazing.

Above is the shadow of a single electrical line. The light source is a LED street light, and the multiple lines are caused by the multiple LEDs

This mornings sunrise sunburst. I saw Venus, low on the horizion, when I first got up, but couldn’t find it again when I was walking

I made this out of three clothespins. Engineering marvel.

Have a good weekend! Monday is a holiday loday here. Yeay!

Home maintenance is very important. Whether you rent or own, home maintenance can save you time and money. Most people do the big stuff, weekly oiling of the toilet seat hinges, monthly sharpening the blades on the carbage disposal. But when’s the last time you tested the fridge light? I mean, you know it is on when you open the door, you’d notice if it wasn’t, but how do you really know it goes off when you close it? An always-on ridge light can probably cost you fifty cents to a dollar annually in unnecessary electrical bill costs, so it’s important to test it regularly. Below is our test, which you can easily do at home too.

Of course, if you’re like me, you’ll still wonder if it goes off when you’re not testing it. But unlike me, you don’t have to lose sleep over it, all you can do is test it regularly, say once a week or hourly, and rest assured that you’re doing all you can to avoid those pesky high electricity costs.

Last night the wife and I actually went out to a restaurant. It was great! We were the only ones there, seated outside, but there were a lot of people coming and picking up food to go. Outdoor seating is all that’s allowed so far in our recovery from this covid 19 thingamajig. It was very nice to go out.

Have a great day, Remember that critical home maintenance!

The Dogs go for their walk, The dogs pee on the road. They just stand there as pee flows under their feet. The dogs get tangled in their leashes. I lift their paw to get the leash out from under. I get a wet hand.

It’s a plot, a conspiracy to make my hands wet from dog pee.

Yesterday I got stuck in a loop. I’m still reading Don Quixote. (Donkey Hoetee). It’s terrible. Yesterday, I continued my read. (I’m at the part where Don sends Sanchez to give the letter to his lady, but Sanchez instead brings the priest and barber.) I passed out from reading it. I woke up an hour later, and started reading again. They met the real pretty girl dressed as a boy. I passed out again, from boredom. Woke up another hour later. If I had started reading again, I probably would have passed out again. It occurred to me that I could consume my whole life, read, pass out, read, pass out.

It’s a plot, a conspiracy to make me sleep all afternoon. It was hard falling asleep last night because I was so well rested from reading Donkey Hoetee. Also designed to torture high school students, and those forced into reading this book.

Actually Don Quixote is not that bad of a story, it’s just that the sentences are extremely long. I found a sentence that was a full page and a half long on my Kindle. Frequently, while reading this book, I get half way through a sentence and think “What? Who’s this talking? What are they talking about?” and have to go back.

Happy Wednesday. Another perfect day.

Yesterday’s post, after a re-read and comment, didn’t sound like I intended it to sound. And it didn’t say what I meant. I’m not looking for girlfriend or anything, I love my wife. I’m just going to have to start doing what I want to do without her. She’s been telling me this for years. And I’ve been complaining to her about TV for a long time too.

This morning is a perfect morning. Perfect tempurature, perfect sky, perfect everything.

Have a great day!
