I wish they all could be California girls,,,,

Out of nowhere sprang up a impromptu beer drinkin session! Ya gotta stay light on yer feet just in case this kinda shit happens. I was ready. I even had pizza dough’s risin on the countertop!
Then, about 6 beers later, someone sez “go get your camera.” Anyway, these are the results.(top one is Mrs. Barns's)
The beauty of small strobes,, I tossed one on a small light stand with a shoot thru umbrella, gave another one to my ‘voice activated’ light stand (Mrs. Barn), made some adjustments and I was done in about 15 minutes!
Mrs. Barn made the suggestion of using the chair with the sea in the background and with a good looking model, well, hell, the camera just takes its own photos! Bob’s yer uncle!






















The first thing I think when I can’t find my wallet is, “Great, now how am I going to buy beer?”

He's in the jailhouse now,,,,

What we have here is a good news, bad news, good news type situation. With possible more bad news sprinkled in. a little history is in order.
Mrs. Barn and I had not taken a vacation together in 10 years. Whenever we go to visit our parents, she would go to Ill. And I would go to Colo. We couldn’t just leave the house empty and someone needs to be with the animals so we would go in shifts. Then, last year, we get to go together. Someone is going to stay in the casa, feed the kids and away we go to Denver. Well if you remember right last july/august is when there were hurricanes floating all around the Yucatan! We never relaxed up north and the girl staying here now had 2 houses to deal with! So her ‘vacation’ was shot also. We vowed to never leave during the hurricane season even if it’s the beginning. This year we got out states visits done early.
Then as you will recall, a few weeks ago we tried to go to cayo for a few days. Asked the same girl to move in and we were all set. Remember the night before we left? The power went out around 1600 and we spent a hot night in the dark. Got up around 0400 and packed in the dark. Was told the power was still off the next day so we cut it short and returned so she wouldn’t have 2 houses to deal with again!
Fast forward to yesterday,,,we are now all set to try again. We have a room reserved in P.G. and we are makin all the usual preps, charging battrys, packin the shorts, even washed the truck! Then around 1300, BLINK. The current goes out. At 1800 I am beginning to think this is like de’jevu all over again!
You gotta be shittin me,, AGAIN!!! Yes, again, I’m not shittin ya. During the darkness, we dug out our never used cell phone and made some calls. We heard all kinds of reasons for the power being gone. Here are some of them.
Power will be out all weekend cuz BEL did not make their payment to Mexico.
A substation went down and they need parts from Miami.
Pissed off union workers cut the lines.
And a bad driver in Placencia was driving and hit a pole. (Most likely I think)
Either way, power was out in P.G. as well so we all decided to postpone the trip.
I’m not going to reveal the new dates as it seems to be a conspiracy to keep us home.
We had another evening with candles. We had enough candles out for our house/critter sitter you could decorate Inches’s birthday cake! That’s allot of candles!

BLINK,, power came back around 1930, and has remained on ever since. Plus it’s raining now.
But, we may do a BBQ here today just,,,, because.
Boy, sneaking away can be tough!

More good news,,, O.J.,, guilty on ALL 12 COUNTS!!! That murderin bastard is headin for jail! Possibly for the rest of his stinkin, worthless life! I hope he spends his entire remaining days being butt-raped by every swingin dick in the joint. Passed around the cellblock like an inflatable love doll. Taken advantage of by cons and guards alike. Gives up his wedding vows to every serial rapist in the pen. Is forced to wear a ballerina outfit during sex. Gets every STD known to modern man.
What happens in Vegas, really does stay in Vegas!
Enjoy your stay O.J.


A couple of Mrs. Barn's bugs,,











“Keep in mind that, after I do this shot, I may not be the same man you’ve come to love and trust so completely. In fact, you may consider chaining me to a sturdy radiator, if one is handy.”

In the corner, at the table, by the juke box,,,,

I’m not one to talk politics. I am not qualified for starters. I don’t keep up on allot of stuff, I have absolutely no idea what this economic situation is all about. So I stay out.
I do get a bit riled when shit happens that to me appears to be just plain stupid. One item that stands out to me was Sonny Bono being elected to, what was it the senate? Then he skied his ass into a tree.
So what do they do? Give the job to his wife!! Didn’t make much sense to me.
Now we have the hockey-mom. WHAT? The comedians are having a blast with this one.
“What does a VP do?”,, “ I can see Russia from my house!”,, “I’ll have to get back to you on that.”
And tonight we get to watch her ‘supposedly’ perform on her own, no monitor, no cue cards, just her. I hope they check her for a hidden michrophone in her ear!
I would absolutely love to hear her say, “I would like to use a life-line. I want to phone a friend.”
This will be interesting to watch.
Closer to home, Belize slipped a few notches down on the corruption scale. Naturaly the new guy sez it’s because the poll was taken before he was elected. And if you can believe any of the newspapers, which I have a hard time doing, the UDP now is having some real trouble inside the party. The mayor of BZ city is being accused of things each week it seems. Now the MOW is under investigation as well.
OK, that’s enough politics for me.

We are talking about the calendar idea that was brought up featuring the areas seniors. There are a few already lined up and willing and the rest should be easy enough to find. One problem,, I have not done much research at all but I looked at a couple ‘on-line’ places to get prices. They all have a minimum naturally, and the price for that has been hovering around 450.00US for a batch but I forget the #.
I have a request in to the local folks and will hopefully get a quote soon. So if anyone else has someplace in mind, please share. We don't have 450 bucks lying around, especially this time of year! We decided that once the cost is recouped; the profits should go to some good cause. I was going to suggest a school but with both villages involved we don’t want to piss off one and not the other!! (everyone should be equally pissed off) So, if any ideas come to mind that all involved could appreciate, drop them into the comment box please. And if I can’t pull it all together at all, I will still try to get the photos out somewhere. Ellie is good about putting stuff like that into the Breeze. Any and all ideas are welcome and appreciated!

I have heard now a couple folks are having a tough time with the comment feature.
Here’s how it works,, just click on the comment thingy at the bottom of each post. When the box opens, write yer comment. Choose a identity from the 3 choices, if anonymous, just add your name to the bottom of your comment,,, if you want. And hit submit. Easy as chuggin a cold Belikin on a hot day! Well, any day for that matter.

I dreamed I was,,,, nailin Sarah Palin,,,?

Another good day in the village. Got shit done, had some beers, some laughs, all’s well.
An impromptu charity event sprung up. It was offered to Mrs. Barn that if she got ALL her hair cut off, I mean buzz cut, there would be a 250.00 check made out to the school. Other offers could follow.
Off she goes to get it cut. Did the school get a check? No. she got about 2 inches cut off, that’s it.
Oh well, it was good for some of those laughs I mentioned.
Still no sign of my construction crew. Have to check and see if there has been any alien abductions reported lately.
They graded the road. If anyone doesn’t already know, it’s very nice right now. But speeds are up so be alert.
My computer RAM memory arrived! Wooo hooo! I am going to go test photo software real soon.
Thanks suitcase man!
