The Ark

Anybody want any of this stuff?
Get your order in soon! :)




Tempting, but no thanks, Ranger type dude :)
I'm too old for all that.

I switched over to 9mm and 12ga semi-automatics for close ups, a custom made 22-250 bolt action bullet machine for "long range concerns" and a Remington 350mag for anything else with armpits.

Pottery stalking a rather elusive bunch of bananas between Olympic events:

That's our boy.

:)))

Famous last words; "The Suburban is all packed" and ready to head south to daughter's project at first light.

Only thing left to do is drink rum and try and remember what I forgot....Uh? Do I have that in proper order?



..and a man alone and his Utube app :)

OMG, did you guys notice that Pottery has no hands?
There's no hair on the top of his head either!
He looks a lot like the Swamp Thing.
You don't suppose he's one of those shape-shifter things do you?

I guess its not easy being green. :)

This is sad, I just laughed Pepsi all over my keyboard after looking at my own darn green man cartoon.
I should know better. It was pretty funny though!

Back later, have to clean it up, and then take a nap.

Took down all the Bowie knives, the daggers, and the short swords.
Still a long way to go.

Sorry Oss,

cleaning is not in my vocab. ;0

Yer welcome :)

Quoting theshepherd:


Yeah, only got "one". New Evinrude Etech.

I'm gearing up to head to Longwood Sunday morning to start makeover on daughter's new house.

I put the boat "to bed" until I get back. Finished with painting it, just need to polish it and reinstall all the hardware and such.

Then she's southbound, hammer down...

:)

Nice, what mph

convoy convoy heh heh

OH by the way, HI Arkers
WU is doing a wobbly or my puter is sayin no

Quoting ycd0108:
I don't get headaches since I found the "Permanent Hangover" cure but even the mention makes me cringe.
Just wanted to second Waterskiman's take on gettin' old.

You won't believe this but my mate Louise is 72 she sent me that, dang she got more energy than me.

Actually, green is not too bad.
Pink, purple, chartreuse, I have problems with those.
:):))

Talking about shape-shifting....
I was watching some of the women's gymnastics.
Boggles the mind and some other parts of my being as well. Dont they have bones???
Incredible!

Quoting RobDaHood:
Hey Ski!
Having a good weekend?

Not too bad here.
Long hot day, but cloudy and cooler now.

Think I'll sleep well tonight!

Yep all good, bin taking the skiff for a whirl and scopin new lobby spots. Got a few more on the list. Had to build a pvc ladder for the skiff this arvo. Bloody hell, they think everyone owns a yacht.

Quoting RTLSNK:
Morning Arkers and Arkets!

Atlantic seems to be getting really busy, eh?

Todays mission is to dismantle the "Sword Room" so we will have an extra bedroom again in case we have visitors from Florida running from a cane!

Should only take me, oh, say, three days!
I have a lot of swords on the walls. :)

I have a nice double bladed five foot long two handed twenty pound Scottish Claymore I'm saving for someone. Will hide that one in the closet in case they show up here!

Better get started, SugarBear says she's not putting any bedroom furniture in there until the walls don't have any sharp things hanging from them. :)

Lets see, 20 swords, a few battle axes, some maces, lots of daggers, a few rapiers, a couple of spears, two hunting bows, some short swords, 25 Bowie knives, some Sais, some Nunchucks, a few Samuri Swords, oh, and four sabers and a cutlass. Thats all I think. :)

Anybody want any of this stuff?
Get your order in soon! :)

Sounds like you got an excellent trade for her.

Hi Pottery

Talkin about Bananas, I heard the most biZare ad today.

Banana Hammock resturant opening today at Smugglers Cove. Islamorada.

Quoting RobDaHood:
LOL
Well, Pottery, we've seen you in pink shoes.
chartreuse would prolly not be that bad!
:o)

Ski,
Good for you. Catch lots of lobby's.
Enjoyed the bandit vid.
Dated a redneck girl for a short while that drove that exact car.

I had a 70 T/A and an 80.
Installed a computerized water injection system on the 80 that let me crank the Turbo boost...until the computerized thingy failed and melted the pistons. Put the Ram Air IV from the 70 in the 80 and it rocked. On blocks in the barn now waiting restoration...one day.

As for the redneck girl...last I knew, she worked at Gilley's in TX...but that was a while ago.

Watching a lovely sunset with distant booming at the moment.

Back later.

Er, Um, Shoes don't count.

You need to read up on your latest edition of "Runway Trends".
Which is not a magazine about airplanes as you might have thought. Or asphalt, perimeter lighting, fire trucks or radar.

In fact, you might be interested to learn that there are several of these types of mags around here. Ancient Person loves them.
And I have to admit (but please don't tell ) that I took a furtive glance at one, and shoes seem to be "the thing" for the coming season.

I will try to ascertain just what "season" is being touted here, as I feel that it will give me a distinct advantage to know this, next time I am over on the main blog.
I can see it now....
"What do you guys think about 96L chances of coming to Miami as a cat 5?"
My response, " It needs help....Stilletto heels with chartreuse straps and hootchie-gucci patent leather purse with diamond clasp will do it!"

Actually, come to think of it, that reminds me of Peter Sellers in "Being There". See it, if you have not.
We could start a whole new trend over on the main blog by talking Peter Selleries....

Boggles the mindless.

Morning Arkers!

My favorite line from the Pink Panther Movies was when Peter Sellers knocks over a big statue and it smashes this lady's piano she says "that's a priceless Steinway" and Peter Sellers looks at it and says "not any more".:)

Looks like we might get some rain today!

Morning Snake and Arkers,

Went against my rules and drank some hot vodka again.

Got all the hatches open this morn, finally some breeze has kicked up and it has cooled off a bit.

And when Inspector Cluseau is confronted by a large dog, he says to Sellers "Does your dog bite?"
"No" says Sellers.
The dog bites Cluseau..
"I thought you said your dog does not bite!"
"But that's not MY dog" says Sellers.

heheheheheh

"Being There" is Sellers last movie.
It's the story of a very simple man who spends all his time tending a garden and watching TV.
Then a series of strange circumstances come along and he ends up becoming President.
He says the most foolish things which the media cannot understand, so they think he is a Genius.
Watch it.

She never gives me a bad time, that's why she's called SugarBear! :)

Had a busy busy day and may try and watch the landing myself.

I'm awake that early most of the time anyway.

Will check in later on.

BTW, that rover is coming in at 13,000 miles per hour.

Has a big parachute that is supposed to slow it down.

I didn't think Mars had an atmosphere.

Don't you need air for a parachute?

yuk yuk yuk

OK, so it has a "thin" atmosphere. :)

95.32 % Carbon Dioxide
2.7 % Nitrogen
1.6 % Argon
.13 % Oxygen
.08 % Carbon Monoxide

Trace elements:

Nitric Oxide, Molecular Hydrogen, Neon, HDO,
Krypton, Formaldehyde, Xenon, Hydrogen Peroxide
and Methane.

The SW had two close calls in last two days. Boogie board at the ankle, out of control, close. Today wind picked up an umbrella with tapered end aimed at the BW. She caught the riibs with her feet and the sharp end of the stick against the center of the four quads and a book.

And we are thinking of going there to live ?
I think I'll take my chances here. Even with the co2.....

Had a Good Day today.
Alex and Amy came for lunch and stayed late. Nice.
Made a bow&arrow, and showed Alex how to shoot it properly.
But he says he wants to be an Olympic Diver.
So that's OK too, I guess!

Showers today, but cooler. Nice.

A Tune courtesy of the weather channel local forecast. Do ya think they really know what this song is actually referring to?

Good tune,,,, but the weather channel local forecast? WT?

You all have now entered the random button zone :P

I don't know about you all, but this sticks in my head.

Remember it?

How things change :)

One for the ditch for me, Gnight>>>>> Make it a great week all !

Try those headphones on this one WSM :)

Hey Rob! Saw your reply on skyepony's blog the other night, decided to come to your blog for a change to reply. Yes it seems to be another atypical rainy season this year, not nearly as active as many I remember. Sunsets are about all I have been seeing these days as I run out of T-shirts and get driven indoors in the heat of the day. Seabreeze rain machine seizing up a bit, must stay alert for trends in the coming years. Meanwhile suffering from something like cabin fever similar to the spring fevers suffered in late February during the snowy winters of my youth growing up just south of Lake Erie.

Took a drive down to West Boca yesterday for a long-overdue visit with relatives. Drove down I-95 through two different sea-breeze storms blowing in...visibility down to near zero. The worst part is the people who think that just because they cannot see the road, maybe it is not there anymore, so they slow down to 30 or maybe just stop. Noo! Was following a ever slowing line of traffic when a car with Quebec license plates passes me and then just cuts me off to get off the road in their panic. They have probably driven through blizzards with whiteouts but the Florida mobile Niagra Falls effect was just too intimidating. My reaction was to pass all those dangerous frightened potential speedbumps and find my open slot to drive out into the sunshine again.

Caught a great concert on the way home, Jerry Garcia Band, 1980. Was an unusual configuration of JGB because it was clearly Phil Lesh on bass. A very long cover of Eric Clapton's "After Midnight" carried me past route 60 through the Brevard County line all the way to my home exit on Eau Gallie Blvd. There was an interesting "Eleanor Rigby" jam in the middle...gotta find me a copy of that show.

Current project: putting together a linux-based digital music box with 10 TB total external drives full of flacs and a trusty old M-Audio Delta 44 soundcard, digital 24bit-96KHz out into custom D/A then to my stereo system.

Very nice blog you have here!
Stay lossless my friend!

Quoting RobDaHood:
Good Morning!
Thanks for the tunes and whatnot!

Watching NASA TV to see if the Rover lands properly.

Rover landed good!
Weather coming your way.
Rains falling here.
Spending time in the Bushes of the Garden.

Laters>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Hi Arkers!

Wow, busy day, the sword room is no more.
Still have to take down about 47 assorted hangers,
and then putty the holes in the walls.
Will do that tomorrow. Time now for dinner.
Just had a really big boomer go over us.
Ran the sprinklers this morning for 3 hrs too.
Just like washing your car, works every time.
Back later.

What an exhausting day !
Running, cycling, shot-putting.
Not me, personally, you know. Those young men and women from The Region made us all proud today.

Gold for Grenada in the 400. BRILLIANT ! Kirani James, 1st in World Championship too. Looks unbeatable for the next couple of years over 400m.
T&T ran bronze, with Dominican Republic silver.

Howdy, and gnight. Been a looooonnnnnng day :)

I just pulled this from the random button.

Tell me this video doesn't spawn some memories?
