Drinkin Belikin beer on the big deck chair,,,,,

Well,, what did I say? Things are beginning to happen now I tell ya. First thing Friday morning who shows up? Vanencio! With two guys and tools! And by 10:00 the concrete footings were poured and are drying right now. I may have a deck very soon!
This must be a union job! One guy with a hose, one guy with a shovel, three guys with their hands on their hips, and a dog!














Then, after all chores were done, it was time to experiment. Corn-Dog Ron,, look out!
I used a can of Tulip brand wieners, made a cornmeal batter, and cooked up some corn puppys! Yee haw! Fuzznutts even loved ‘em! He’s a bit odd tho. He even likes cucumbers and banana’s. They ain’t all beef Oscar Meyers but they ain’t bad! A case of Belikins and you got a par-tay!






















They leaked Sarahs speech. The one they would not let her read as they were afraid she would do further damage to the party!
Take a look at this still shot taken from Obama's first press conference. He seems pretty confident!
(thanks zelda!)









I’ve worked out a devious plot to steal Einstein’s brain. So I can drink the alcohol it’s stored in.

I can see clearly now the rain has gone,,,,,

Well I must say, things have been steadily improving around here. We could start with Musa getting the boot. Looks like we will sneak thru the hurricane season intact, the weather has been perfect, Obama won and Palin lost, O.J. is in jail, there is actual work being done to pave the road, the season is looking pretty good booking’s wise, fuel prices just dropped, everyone is healthy even dad!
Things could be a lot worse! And to top it all off, my contractor sez “today, fer shore”!

A few items to report. I guess I just don’t get out enough but yesterday I discovered the real, live, hardware store Albert has opened! Nobody told me, I been driving on down the stinkin road when I need something. It’s a nice one too, even sells cookies!
Maya Beach Hotel is open again. Their new pool and outside stuff is done along with all the inside improvements. Check it out, it will be a hit!

The little Mennonite house that has been plopped down next to Maya air’s terminal is to be a branch of hertz rental car. Gonna be lots of rental car choices soon.
The ‘Lost Reefer’s’ are playin at Mango’s tonight.
A popular drink that has been making the rounds,, the “Obama”, white rum, dark rum, and passion fruit!

The old community center in Seine Bight is gone. Photo soon to follow.

That’s Morey, being careful not to curl his hair(further)!



And the young surveyor shootin down the road towards Mango’s. there is a stick by our house, don’t know what it means, but initial indications are that our thatch carport will survive the road expansion!
I asked the young guy and he said we were fine, but I don’t know if he was qualified to make that statement? I also gave him a beer.














“You’re hard to remember, but easy to forget.”

Guv'na Palin,, yer moose is ready,,,,

Well that’s over. The election,, silly. Was everyone just about sick and tired of that? I thought the hype leading up to the super bowl was ridiculous. And just like the super bowl every day, every hour they had to update us on who they thought was going to win and their stupid facts as to why. FOR 21 MONTHS!!!! I will say this, I am not sure what I wanted more. Obama to win, or Palin to loose. Hey, looky me, I win on both accounts!! I feel Obama will do a good job (let’s hope), and I also hope they keep us informed of Sarah picking up moose turds. Now, if she does pose for playboy, on a bear skin rug, with a Winchester 30-30, I may take a look. Otherwise, I am glad her 15 minutes of fame are done!
OK,, on with life.

My contractor was once again a no-show. I hate to say anything bad about the guy but this has gone too far. I now have other contractors coming by offering to take on the job! Today, he gets the phone call from me. Either do it or this other guy will. It’s been 2 months we have been tripping over the lumber!

Adriane went for her walk yesterday and Scurvy went along. They usually pick up some of his ‘pals’ along the way. It’s a dog’s life I tell ya!
















“For hardly any man dances when sober, unless he is insane. Nor does he dance while alone, nor at a respectable and moderate party. Dancing is the final phase of a wild party with fancy decorations and a multitude of delights.”

It's a booger! No it'snot.

Whelp, here it is, Monday morning. You would think I would see my contractor today, no?
I am beginning to think I could start a pool and let folks gamble on dates that our deck will be up!
We have some drunken buddies coming for a visit in the early part of December. It better be up by then!
Seems we are not the only ones having construction woes. MB hotel mentioned their contractor ran out of important pool parts and can’t find any in the entire country! That little project will be very popular when it’s done. Very nice outside dining near the pool with swim-up bar(sorta), all new furniture, new inside bar, a complete makeover it looks like.


This friend coming is bringing me a one terabyte hard drive!! That's 1000gb's!! I need more storage room for photos and one company estimates this HDD will hold 377,000 of my RAW (very large) photos! Technology just amazes me to no end. When I got into digital, my first CF card for my camera was 128mb. And it cost about $40us. I now use 2gb cards because they are so cheap! And they are now up to 64gb in size!
The hard drive in this computer right here is only 80gb!!!

Two days ago Mrs. Barn hollers at me to come see what’s one the beach. I know from past experience that will mean something gross, really cool, beach washed away, or something very profitable!

This time it was a really cool gross thing. It was some kind of jelly fish thingy-mo-whatsit. I have been calling it a sea booger the size of a hubcap! She shot a few photos of the big hunk of snot while I kept the dog at bay. He seemed to want to roll on it. Anyway, it was gone a few hours later.

Been working round here for the start of the new season. It officially starts this week.

A little tiny bit of US politics to finish off this post. Did you all get a chance to hear Sarah Palin get punked by a radio station? Two dj’s pretend to be French PM and that complete idiot is so excited that a foreign diplomat has called her, that she bought it hook, line, sinker, pole, and boat! They had her in the boat, in the cooler and were heading back to shore when they decided to rip the hook out her mouth and let her swim away, to be hooked again some day!

If 2 Canadians can fool her this easy, what will the rest of the world do to her! Actuly, I may have been able to accept Mcain,, right up to the point her picked her as his mate. But that just ruined it.
This just in,, a fitting tune for this idiot!
OK,, we didn’t get the chance to make our votes count, but I can still voice my opinions,, right?

Can you read what's on the TV? Fuzz is about to have some serious problems!








My dentist is afraid to drill in my mouth for fear of an unexpected spark.

Dinner ready yet,,,,?

Hey, Friday eve, got things done,planning to go visit Mango’s for a few cold ones. Decide I should get a jump-start on dinner before we go. Tonight it’s pork fried rice.

I make the rice way before and add it to the rest while cold.
Off we go towards Mango’s. CLOSED? Guess we better phone first, Friday or not.
Mosey on down to M.Breeze bar and knock back about 3 there. Nothing happening, we might as well go home and drink them cheap beers.
As I walk in the door, it hits me. I left the rice cooking!! Yeah, it’s done. I guess it’s a good thing Mango’s was closed or we would have stayed there a lot longer!
So I started over with the dinner plans. As things progressed, we had some beers in honor of our friend Ivan. You all know Ivan, the little guy who stocked the coolers and raked the yard at Pickled Parrot.
He died yesterday. From what I gather, it was basically his lifestyle that caught up to him. He has never been a picture of health since I known him. He will be missed! Here’s to ya Ivan,,,!

Had a new paperboy deliver our papers. We seem to have a different one each week. Mr. Brown grabs anyone going this way and asks them to drop our papers off. But this time I got to help a neighbor out in the process.
Eggy-babes,,,you will let us know when you have mastered ‘Chateaubriand’ using the microwave right,,?







I can, in a pinch, construct a fully-operational keg tap from a cigarette lighter, two clothespins and lots of love.
