Thx Gringo, Catch the wave wasn't available today, but Silver Deep is confirmed for me Friday with another Beaches guest and BU is a maybe for Thursday. Nice little island you have here. The Admiral absolutely loved North Caicos. We decided to head over there this afternoon instead of Thursday as the realtor had another couple going. I liked it quite a bit, but not sure if we're ready to make that move. San Sal is still my top choice, but we have some time. Good luck with the house, it'll all shake out for you soon and you'll be enjoying that vista for a long time to come...
we got the phone today but no dsl... they say three more days... i don't get it
Gringo "house sits" while I frantically roam Provo to pirate, beg, borrow and buy internet time for my work.... i actually have to commute farther than from the coffee pot to my desk in the morning... such rigors!!!!
stay tuned though, he'll be back soon, i promise...
Hey, it's me again. They finally got the DSL turned on here at the new house. So...I guess we are back on the internet. Sure seems so.
I am a little foggy at the moment. Thats "foggy". With an "o". Broke a piece off a molar two nights ago at the gum line, and it was getting infected. And it friggen hurt. So I screwed up my courage and went to a local dentist. He pulled the tooth this morning, and they gave me a bunch of ******* pills for the pain. one pill every four hours, or four pills every one hour....I was always kinda bad at that pharmeceutical math.
Back on the forum theme, here's the fish that made it back to the dock during Saturday's wahoo tournament here. The winning wahoo was 61 lbs. It was a pretty thin showing, with 24 boats in the contest. The wind was blowing hard, and a lot of the smaller boats ( under 30 ft.) were tending to stay in the lee a little I think.
Id play it safe there gringo ya know that codine can be nasty stuff if you're not carefull, just to be safe take four every hour except for the fourth hour when you should only take one.
I apologize for the thin posts lately. For the past week we have been moving into the house, which is no way complete. I won't go into all the stuff going on, but we just got internet. I did manage to put up a post on the move on the blog spot, but it's not fishing related so I don't have a lot of pertinent stuff for the forum.
We are pretty tired of dealing with workers from 07:00 on, six or seven days a week. And the hammering, drilling, and etc. going on constantly. It's almost like camping out...but we do like waking up to these sunrises that come through the bedroom sliding glass door every morning now:
and sitting on the deck watching these sunsets:
La Gringa has invited some neighbors over tomorrow night to drink alcohol and watch the sunset, in fact. Our first guests in this place. The way things are going, it looks like I am finally going to have to force myself to learn to be less antisocial or something. Shit, I made it all these years on the grumpy old fart ticket....oh well.
Eventually I will have the workshop to hide in. But right now I am excuseless.
Naw, that aint the septic tank. The septic system is already buried, and is a round green thing with a compressor and a motor on the top of it. The yellow tanks are to store the treated water, which is used for drip irrigation.
This particular yellow tank in the photo is what the construction crew was using to store water trucked up here for mixing mortar etc. during the construction phase, before we had the cisterns completed and the pumps in. They would climb up that ladder and lower a five gallon bucket on a rope for water. Its just about empty, and would have been removed yesterday except that our foreman was in a truck accident that ripped their truck in half. So our contractor doesn't have a way to haul it away right yet. It's been there a year, we will be glad to see it go.
