Tuesday easy post. Pet pics…

I got the driveway painted yesterday afternoon, not the whole thing, just spot painted my repair zones. Next up: resurface and re-paint the roof.

I had a dream last night that I was chasing a centipede. I had to move each and every piece of furniture and it escaped into the wall. Then I could hear pipes clanging and stuff because it was back there. In the beginning of the dream, it was in soapy water and I thought it would drown. Then it started undulating and I guess it was drying off. Creep dream. I hate those things.

Have a good day!

First Guest

We had our first guest stay over in the apartment this weekend. It was a friend who, with my wife, went to a concert thing at a local bar, and they were drinking, so instead of driving all the way across the country (8 miles) she stayed in the apartment. She enjoyed it, she said it was nice to be away from the husband and kids. We also got some nice comfy chairs for the apartment, so I think, furniture-wise, it’s ready. We still need to hang pictures and get curtains of some sort of window covering.

I failed to plug my phone into the charger last night. When I picked it up this morning, it was 37%. It’s plugged in now, hopefully getting enough charge to make it through the day.

This weekend, I got done grinding thhe driveway and filling the cracks, hopefully this week I’ll use up the last of paint I used to paint the driveway a couple years ago. I’m saying I hope I have enough paint to finish and not buy more. If I need more, I want a lighter color, as this gets so hot in the sun you can’t walk barefoot on it. If I buy a lighter color, I’ll need to re-paint the whole driveway, and not just the repaired parts, and therefore need a lot more paint.

Have a good week!

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!
