I believe it was yesterday, thanks to the wife, we received two dog zappers, collars that shock dogs to prevent that incessant barking in the front yard that I’be been whining to you about so much lately.

I have to read the instructions, and charge them up, and we’ll see. Hope they work. No high hopes.

I didn’t post yesterday, I couldn’t find the photo I was planning on using. Old shoes.

Have a great day!

It was a better than average weekend. Friday I stayed home and rested, Saturday, the wife had to work and I cleared a whole big area of mother-in-laws-tongues, growing in the back yard.

Saturday night, the wife and I went to a food fest in town. It was good, and a good deal. My favorite was the Cuban Tacos. I should have taken pictures, but didn’t…

Sunday, the wife had a girls boat trip, and I went to the beach. Then last night we had dinner at “Catch”

And now it’s monday… with a small m.

In the news radio this morning, apparently some dude named Thomas Cook, I dunno, I think he’s the worlds oldest travel agent, I guess he died, ’cause now for some reason 150,000 Brits and a whole buncha Germans are stranded at their vacation destinations all over the world. I never heard of Thomas Cook till today. Condolences to his family.. Congrats to you all stuck on vacation!

Ha ha. I’m joking. Thomas Cook is a budget airline that went tits-up. That I never heard of till today.

Have a great week!

Yesterday, (Thursday) I was able to glimpse forward in time to Friday. And converse with a denizen of the future. They, it turn, were communicating with someone from the past.

I have seen the future, the future is now, and it is good!

Actually, what I’m referring to is that yesterday I talked on the phone with Chris, who lives in New Zealand. She’s my absolute best friend in all of New Zealand! New Zealand is on the other side of the international date line, so it’s always tomorrow there. Here it’s always yesterday in New Zealand.

I enjoyed talking to her very much. We were Facebook messaging and she replied immediately and I realized she was awake and at her computer. So I asked her number and we talked on the phone. New Zealand is almost perfectly on the other side of the globe from Cayman. We met through blogging, years and years ago.

Coincidentally, she posted a picture of my blog banner too!

I’ve said it many many times: “Facebook is good for finding old friends and blogging is good for making new ones.” Still true.

I expected good weather today and got rain. The weather repoort said rain earlier in the week, then yesterday, changed it to fair. Shoulda kept yer mouths shut, weather people!

Have a great weekend!

Went snorkling yesterday at lunchtime. This baby angelfish wasn’t afraid of the camera at all! I think she could see her reflection in the lens. This is a vey wide angle camera and she was inches away!

Friday’s-a-comin! Happy Thursday!

Last night, I was speculating on my mind, comparing the morning brain-dead-ness. Looking around inside my head, so to speak. How I felt then to now I feel now. “Feel” isn’t really the proper word. I don’t know what word to use. The difference between the inside of my head last night and now is astounding. Normally, I just feel how I feel and cannot really detect the changes, as they happen slowly. Last night I made an effort to “take a picture” that I can look at today. It seems to be effective, I can tell the difference, but I cannot be specific on what the difference is.

I wonder if there’s been any studies done on this? I’ll have to look into it today when I’m supposed to be working….

Bahamas sure don’t need another strike. They need a few months os sunshine to dry things out so they can rebuild.

It’s raining here now but we need the rain.

This morning I couldn’t find my coffee cup. Finally, I found it where I left it yesterday, with a half a cuppa coffee in it! Oh the shame, the embarassment!

Have a great day!

Last week there was another oil rig parked near the island. From shore. this one looked smaller thn most I’ve seen. Never have I seen one stay around for so many days, they’re always on the horizon, being transported.

I’ve head they are assembled in Bonaire, and hauled up to the gulf. Search for “oil rig” on this blog and see what you get. I haven’t done it yet.

Today, I’m taking Ashy Thee Cat to work with me, then the vet at noon, she’s been coughing, she seems grumpy and we wonder if she’s in pain, plus she needs her annual shots. The wife has a detailed list. Checkbook: prepare for a workout today!

Have a great day! We’re supposed to get some rain this week, we need it.

Yesterday, I had several topics, easily available in my head, thre was no way I could not think of a topic this morning. Alas! but this morning the brain is as .. as… something that is really featurless and blank. Inspiring me to write a poem

Yesterday, all my topics ranged from far to wide 
Now they seem so hard to find.
They've all been erased from my mind.

I wish I had a topic now

Yesterday, I had topics to write about.
somehow they were all thrown out,
Now I can't see any of them about.

I wish I had a topic now.

Yesterday, I had a brain to operate,
now my mind is a blank slate
Can't remember today's date.

I wish I had a topic now.

Yesterday, a blog was such an easy game to play
Now it seems a million miles away
Wish I had topics from yesterday..

Aww screwit.

It was a good weekend, beach Saturday and Sunday, Can’t remember much else. Need more coffee.

Have a grea week!

I occured to me yesterday, that lately I’ve been drinking a quadruple espresso as my first cuppa coffee in, I dunno, months?

See, not too long ago, year or two, I got a new coffee scoop that was smaller than my older coffee scoop. Lately, for a very long time, I’ve been making coffee in my four cup espresso maker.

Since my new scoop is smaller than the old scoop, I was using two scoops instead of one. At some point, I decided three was necessary to equal one of the old scoops. Then, I started using a little creamer, at the suggestion of my dental hygenist, who said creamer would reduce the amount of staining. SO I added a fourth scoop to the mix, thereby filling the coffee funnel full, and tamping it down.

Then the light bulg came on, the realization hit.. it’s a 4 cup espresso maker, I’m packing it to max capacity to make one cuppa coffee. Quadruple espresso!

With a little creamer.

Happy full moon Friday the 13th! First Friday the 13th full moon in 13 lucky years!

Have a great weekend!

There was a story on the BBC this morning about Gravity Bikers in Colombia. You can read it here. In the story on the radio, they talked about how the bikes have hooks to attach (without the drivers permission) to a vehicle so it will pull them up the hill. I didn’t see the hooks mentioned in the linked article.

Then, after the kids ‘hook’ their way up the hill, they coast back down. The bikes have weights to make them go faster.

It’s a lot of fun, and very dangerous. I pobably wouldn’t like it. Once, when I was a kid, I got a skateboard. First thing I did was go to the top of this hill. I remember standing there, one foot on the road, one foot on the skateboard. The instant I lifted my foot off the road, I was flying a million miles an hour. I steered over to the curb, and crash landed in the grass.

Not my kind of thrill. I was never much of a skateboard rider after that.

If you google gravity biking, you’ll see images of guys wearing helmets and all kinds of safety gear, but these kids in Colombia don’t have any of that. The reason this story made the BBC News is the large number of kids getting killed.

But still, I was interested in the hook for getting up the hill, maybe I need one of those…

Have a great day!

This morning, I left the dogs in the yard. I went for a short walk and swim. Nice morning.

I took this picture of Lenny yesterday afternoon. Apparently, he smokes cigars now and has invaded my humidor. Or maybe he buys his own. I’ll have to check later and see what’s missing.

Actually, it’s an Oinkie. Don’t want anyone to think I’m allowing my one year old to smoke cigars. Our complaints department is full.

It’s been cloudy, mostly, raining at night. Haven’t been to the beach for lunch all week. Today, I’m going to change that, rain or sleet or snow.

Have a great day!
