I will have to come up with some excuse... any ideas?

The Barnacle - Dream

I was in the Florida Keys at a boat ramp. I jumped in the water and started swimming out to sea. A nice shiny 28 foot fishing boat idled past me so I grabbed onto the boarding rail on the stern. The captain saw me and sped up a little and then slowed down. I told him he had a nice boat. He thanked me and then turned away. I then asked if I could fish with him. He said yes, so I climbed aboard and off we went. We sped through this tunnel and off to the left was a Marine Patrol hiding. He was writing a ticket to another boater. He flashed his light so we had to stop. The captain pulled over and tied up to a teak dock and walked to the officer’s vessel. I stayed with the boat. The captain was speeding through the tunnel so he knew a ticket was in order. This process took about 20 minutes and we were on our way. I looked down at my left hand to see what appeared to be blackish grey spots on my palm. It was actually barnacles! I scraped them off and sprayed my hand with Windex. Then I woke up.

Internet Operationing Instruction

If reading this doesn't make your brain hurt then I don't know what will.

Squack This is the police! - Dream

Yet another dream in the Florida Keys. I was house sitting for a friend of mine named Jeanie Zelaska. I had never watched their house before and they had some elaborate alarm system. I was leaving one day and it was beeping like it was going to go off and notify the cops. I didn’t know the secret code to tell the monitoring company when the called to check if everything was OK. I went back in the house and called the owner.
She didn’t answer, so I went next door and asked the neighbor for help. Of course he didn’t know the secret code nor the pin # to disable the alarm system. We looked at the instructions for a while. We ended up attempting to build a nesting box for a pair of birds.
Then I woke up.

Look Ma! No hands - Dream

I was living back in the keys with my parents. For some odd reason I had the urge to fly, so I bought a hang glider and rigged a 4 cycle weed whacker engine and propeller on it. I could fly it with no problem. My mom wanted to try it one day. I rigged her into the harness and got her airborne. She did fine until she tried to go too high. A sudden gust of wind got her off kilter and she crashed into the water close to a nearby concrete dock.
She was unharmed but very flustered and wet.

Yay for HP!

Do your part for the environment. HP offers free bags postage paid to return inkject catridges to them. They supposedly recover the plstic and metal from the catridges and reuse them. They even offer boxes for sending in Laser Jet catridges! They have other free services too.

Keep NC green :)

Bye Bye Gentle Ben - Dream

I was at our hunting land that backed up to Lake Matamuskeet in Eastern NC. I climbed a tree with my shotgun across my back and was waiting eagerly for a deer to come into my sight. I waited for what seemed like forever. I then had to relieve myself and there just happened to be a bathroom in the woods. It was a very nice concrete block structure with running water and hand dryers. After I was through I exited the door of the bathroom to find a medium sized bear about 10 feet from the exit door. I raised my gun and put a slug in it. I pumped another slug into the chamber and finished the job.

What's on your Tag?

On my drive to work today I saw a car with the tag " QTR TWO 8 ". I scratched my head(because I had an itch) and thought about it for a while. Then I looked at the badge on the back of the car...




BMW 745 Li




Brilliant!

Have a great day!

Water world! - Dream

I was skin diving off the coast of somewhere behind my dad’s boat as the rest of the family drift fished. I had seen many mahi mahi around the boat but nothing was taking the bait. All of a sudden a blue marlin surfaced and took on of the surface baits. My dad grabbed the pole that was used for pushing flats boats around the shallow waters in search of bonefish and tossed it at the marlin. He hit it in the head and paralyzed the huge fish. I swim up to it and pose for a picture with the fish in my arms.

Shortly thereafter, I put my mask back on and look under the boat. It is very close to hitting an artificial reef. The bottom of the reef consists of many OMC and Mercury boat propellers of varying sizes. On top of the props is rock and coral. This was all a base for a wooden hut structure above the water. A bunch of my friends were in the shade singing “Celebrate, Celebrate, Dance to the music” over and over again. I ended up on the wooden structure and picked up a plastic gallon zip lock bag of sugar which spilled out as I lifted it. I zipped it up and put the bag down. I looked around to see many other wooden hut structures on the water down the coast and then I wake up.

Strawberry Fields Forever - Dream

I was downtown in some city talking to a couple that I knew about their Columbia House CDs. Q walks up and joins the conversation with a bunch of strawberries on a stalk like radishes. I tell my friends what Q and I do is get the free 20 CDs for the $5 plus shipping and then buy the rest of the CDs to fulfill our membership, and then we cancel our accounts. We then wait for C House to send a “we want you back card " and do it al over again. Q agrees this is the best way to load up on CDs.

While we are all standing there I reach out and snag a handful of strawberries from the bunch in Q's hand and start munching on them. I ask if they are organic and she says yes. They are very sweet and juicy.

All of a sudden she levitates and starts flying around a few feet off the ground. My friends don't think anything of it (like they've seen it all before) and go on their way. I can't believe my eyes that she is flying around carrying a stalk/bunch of strawberries in her hand.

She flies down the street and waves to one of her friends who is also flying. Q says “hey watch this" and clears a building at the end of the road. The building reminded me of the Lincoln Memorial building. He friend also flies over the building and then I wake up.

OMG... Shark attack?

Who's really the victim here?

Video

The shark out of water is merely running on instinct and they dare to call this a shark attack. People like this need to have their heads examined.

The secret Oasis

I've lived in Durham for almost 9 years now and I'm ashamed to say that I did NOT know this little jewel of a watering hole existed.

Thank you Stewie for blogging about the quarry.

Paul Bunyan was here

Last weekend we were out of town. The neighbor calls my cell and tells me that a huge branch fell out of the bradford pear in the front yard. :shock:

Sure enough:





My Saturday task was to cut it up and haul it away to the dump.






The end:






Fuel to get to the dump: .50c

Charge to dump the yard waste: $11.50

Having the best looking truck at the dump: Priceless! :D :D

Lot-O-Hooks - Dream

In this dream my parents owned a house on a beach somewhere. Every night we would take walks on the beach and enjoy the sunset. The tide was out this evening and a private dock/pier was totally exposed underneath. I could see many fishing hooks stuck under the dock that were still in good condition. I had my fishing pliers with me in shorts and proceeded to cut the fishing line that bound the hooks to the dock. This took sometime but I eventually had removed all the hooks. I reached the end of the pier closest to the beach to find about 20 chartreuse bomber lures all in pristine condition hooked to the bottom of the pier. I thought to myself “wow, I’ve hit the jackpot!” I carefully unhooked the lures from the dock and put them in a bucket I was using to haul the hooks. My parents had since headed back to the house as their neighbor was putting on a play for them.

I walk past where the play is going on to find that it was over. The playwright had some comments for me in the credits that I saw as I walked by the outdoor stage area. Mom and Dad were watching the credits. I could tell that she was mad at me, so I kept on walking to the house.

When I arrived, my brother and Adrian, a kid we knew in the Keys, were there washing dishes. I went around the back of the house near the pool to drop off my bucket and entered the rear of the house through the sliding glass doors. Adrian handed me a small white net as I walked in the door. I promptly inspected the net and dropped it into the hook bucket.

Shortly thereafter Mom and Dad came home arguing as they walked in the front door.

That’s when I woke up…. Right around the time when the cat puked on the floor and Carol rose to clean it. I think that was around 3:11 am.

Niles Channel Bridge - Dream

I was in the Keys driving North over the Niles Channel Bridge. It was night time and I was having a problem steering. The vehicle seemed to want to steer to the left into oncoming traffic even though I had the wheel cranked hard to the right.

There are two vehicles ahead of me a car and then a SUV towing a cargo trailer.
All of a sudden the SUV jack knifes the cargo trailer and stuff flies out.
They stop on the highest point of the bridge. It then becomes daytime for some reason and I swerve to the right barely missing the passenger getting out of the SUV.

Then I woke up because I thought that I heard the cat puke on the floor. I was unable to locate the ghastly upchuck on the new carpet.

Artsy - Dream

My sticker had expired on the truck, so I went to get it renewed. It turns out that I went on the wrong day. I am called out of line by this Highway Patrol Officer who asks me a few questions. I knew I was in trouble and did my best to hide it but he saw right through me. I ended up being sent to a different line which was at my high school.

My Neighbor is teaching an art class to many of my former classmates. They asked my why I was here. I said I had already renewed the sticker on my truck but I was told by the officer that I had to be in this line. I wasn’t sure why. I then said “But If I had not ended up in this line, I wouldn’t have been able to see my old classmates again. They all went “awe how sweet”.

The teacher handed out a picture that we had to copy but the lines were not detailed. I took it to a window so I could let the light shine through and trace the edges. One of the girl classmates joined me at the window, but then we couldn’t hear what the teacher was saying so we went back to our desks. That class ended and I wasn’t sure where to go next. It was just like every year of high school… lost for a week until I figured out where my classes were.

This nice man who was building a house in the Cayman Islands helped me find my next class. It was in a room where a bar was setup around 3 sides. They made me a cranberry drink and toasted a bagel. I don’t recall asking for any of this.

Then I woke Up.

Shots fired!! - Dream

I was in some city with kids in the back seat of one of those huge cars. I think it was a caprice classic. All of a sudden I see a guy I knew in high school (Jonathon Jolly) get rough with a security guard. He tells him to get outta my face. The guard doesn’t so Jolly pulls a gun and shoots the guard in the gut multiple times. I tell the kids in the backseat to duck down in the car. I didn’t want to start the car for fear of getting someone killed in my car. We then hear automatic weapon fire. I peek my head up to see another guy I knew from high school firing a weapon into the air. Then I woke up.

New additions...*snicker*

I thought that title would get your attention.. haha!

Some time ago I ordered one of these for my truck. I was just able to get it installed this past weekend.

While some may think it is gaudy, I like the fact that there no way someone can NOT know when I'm stopping or turning or backing up.

Blue Marlin! - Dream

In this dream I was in Key West Fishing from the docks. I had hooked a Tuna and was fighting it on my Shimano TLD 25 setup. All of a sudden a Blue Marlin swallowed the tuna and stripped a ton of line off the reel. I was trying to gain line on the huge fish as well as avoid people sitting on the dock eating lunch. After a few minutes, the huge fish ran up the dock and then down a channel on the other side of the island. The line then went limp. I think I either used a boat to cross the channel or swam across, but I ended up finding the end of my line with the bill of the marlin attached. The fish was nowhere in sight. While I was looking for the fish, I stumbled upon an old building with a bunch of junk in it. The junk included bills from huge sawfish, a tiny electric guitar, and a Cannon camera body with a nice telephoto lens. The lens was in decent shape but the body was trashed.

The other part of my dream consists of my “hot tub hopping” in Key West. We end up at this one ladies house who insists that we stay with her. I say “I’ll have to check with my mother in law”, (Mavis) as she is picky about the houses she stays in but that she would like to clean her house.

Trying something new part I ...

I've heard of doing this but never actually did it until now.
I decided to put down a layer of newspaper in my veggie garden area to see if it will help with the weeds. Part I is pictured below



I had mulch around the immediate base of the plants (tomatoes, squash and cukes)so that's what you see on the newspaper in the pic. The cukes are on the far right next to the fence. The plant in the middle of the picture produces an awesome large pink flower. I think it is in the hibiscus family.

I plan to be at my mulch place when the open at 0800 and return with a yard of mulch to top all the newspaper with.


Here's a shot of some soon to be yummy matoes!

My Boating weekend

The plan for the weekend was to go fishing with my BIL and FIL. I arrived home from work on Friday around 19:20 and packed for the trip as well as ate some dinner and hung out a bit with Carol. I left for Goldsboro around 20:00. I needed a new fishing license so I stopped off at Dicks in Garner. That’s when the evening went to pot. Instead of getting back on 70 East, I got on 40 East. The road was looking odd and I finally realized what I had done. I ended up getting on 210 which cuts back over to highway 70 (sort of). I knew I should have taken the GPS… I won’t make that mistake again. 210 ended up dumping me onto business 70 in Smithfield so the territory was new to me. There’s nothing like being in a strange town after dark. One of the intersections I came upon had no damn Street signs and 4 different ways to go… I was like WTF!
I took a road that was paralleling hwy 70 for a few miles and ended up in Selma. Yet another town I had not been to and yep… you guessed it… another intersection with no damn street signs or none that I could see in my current state and the time of the night.

I end up making it to Goldsboro around 10:30 I think. I helped load the boat at that point. After the loading process we checked the tires on the trailer to find two of them low on air. We crank up the air compressor and attempt to pump the tires up. We end then find out that one of the tires has a rotted valve stem. We promptly pull that tire off and put the spare on. All fixed! NOT! The other tire on the same side also has a rotted valve stem.

At this point, we know our 0600 departure time is now pushed out until at least 0800 as we need to find a tire shop open in the morning on a Saturday. By the time all this happens, it is almost 23:30. We were tired and went to sleep.


The next morning we called around and found out that Firestone opens at 0700, so we show up at their door around 0650. They promptly take care of us and we head home, bolt the tires to the trailer and are on our way. We get to Beaufort and drive down the road to the ramp we’ve used for years now only to find that it no longer exists. It’s been sold to a condo developer. RATS!

Never fear… there is a wildlife ramp a few miles down the road and we launch the boat.

We saw about 12 wild horses on the islands. That's them waaaaay in the background.



We saw Dolphins.





I hooked a huge amberjack but it broke my line.

A month or so ago This person from Ohio State includes me in an email similar to this one. They were needing someone to work in the deli as a prep person.
I emailed her back (as a joke) and said I'll take the 11-4 shift on Monday and Wednesday. She emailed me back and said how about Wed as Monday was taken.

I couldn't carry on the game any longer and told her that I do NOT attend OSU and to remove me from the mailing list. I of course did this in a very nice email. I never heard back from her until now... MUhahahahhaha... The gloves are coming off now.

How far should I take this?

New Aquarium for 2007

We redecorated our 90 gallon aquarium yesterday this past weekend.

Our Tiger oscar passed away so we seized the opportunity to setup a planted tank with small schooling fish. This is something we have wanted to try for a long time.

The inhabitants at this time are 3 silver dollars, 5 neon tetras, and 5 white cloud danios.

The silver dollars are real troopers. They are our oldest fish right now only because they survived the week without power a few years ago.

The plants in the tank are 1 Onion plant, 1 baby tears, 1 red tiger lotus, and 1 ludwigia.

Here's a short video.

Hotel California... - Dream

I was at some fancy schmancy hotel somewhere waiting in the check in area. I had my reservations in my hand and accidentally walked up to a desk. This young kid who was manning the desk looked up at me and said “ I don’t process those here” I said “ What kind of customer service is that, you should have said “ How may I help you, sir?” I walked away and someone else behind a desk said something to me that wasn’t to my liking. I got a little more annoyed and got louder about how the service was severely lacking in this establishment. Finally a big wig manager shows up and says “Upgrade him to a suite”
At that point I said “ that’s how it is it done folks. An applause roared from the other patrons in the lobby. All of a sudden I have people in football jerseys coming up to me wanting to shake my hand. I think they believe I am some star. Then I woke up.

The Spoiled Under 30 Crowd

Most of this is so true! (email received from my pal Art)

THE SPOILED UNDER-30 CROWD!!!

If you are 30 or older you will think this is hilarious!!!!

When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious
diatribes about how hard things were when they were growing up; what
with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning ... uphill BOTH ways
.. yadda, yadda, yadda

And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in
hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on kids about how hard
I had it and how easy they've got it! But now that... I'm over the ripe
old age of thirty, I can't help but look around and notice the youth of
today. You've got it so easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you
live in a damn Utopia! And I hate to say it but you kids today you don't know how
good you've got it!


I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have The Internet. If we wanted to
Know something, we had to go to the damn library and look it up
ourselves, in the card catalog!!


There was no email! ! We had to actually write somebody a letter ...
with a pen! Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put
it in the mailbox and it would take like a week to get there!


There were no MP3's or Napsters! You wanted to steal music, you had to
hitchhike to the damn record store and shoplift it yourself!

Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ'd
usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up!


We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone
And somebody else called they got a busy signal, that's it!


And we didn't have fancy Caller ID Boxes either! When the phone rang,
You had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your mom, your
boss, Your bookie, your drug dealer, a collections agent, you just didn't
know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances, mister!

We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video games with
high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like
"Space Invaders" and "asteroids" and the graphics sucked ass! Your guy was a little
square! You actually had to use your imagination! And there were no multiple
levels or screens, it was just o ne screen forever!

And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder
And faster and faster until you died! . Just like LIFE!

When you went to the movie theater there no such thing as stadium
seating! All the seats were the same height! If a tall guy or some old
broad with a hat sat in front of you and you couldn't see, you were just screwed!


Sure, we had cable television, but back then that was only like 15
channels and there was no onscreen menu and no remote control! You had to use a
little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on!


You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off
Your ass and walk over to the TV to change the channel and there was no
Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning.
Do you hear what I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK for cartoons, you
spoiled little rat-bastards!

And we didn't have microwaves, if we wanted to heat something up . we
Had to use the stove or go build a frigging fire ... imagine that! If we
Wanted popcorn, we had to use that stupid Jiffy Pop thing and shake it
over the stove forever like an idiot.

That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too
easy. You're spoiled.

You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1980!

Regards,
The over 30 Crowd

Jenny, Jenny, who can I turn to?

How Ironic is it that I used the phone number from "Jenny" in my Spam post and then Yahoo news reports on the song.

"Plumbers fight for famous phone number"



Here are some interesting song " facts ".

What blog post is complete without the corresponding YouTube Video!

Spam Spam Spam Spam Spammity Spam!

It kills me how much spam is out there and how many people would actually fall for this. Let's see what they do with our Cat as the beneficiary. His middle name isn't Antonio, but I thought it fit well with his first and last name.

LMAO! I googled Spam Spam Spam to get the right number of "spams " and found this clip. I don't know why it's so funny but I cracked up big time.

My Bro - I'm so proud of him

A recent graduate of the Citadel in Charleston. He's now an Ensign in the Navy and I believe plans to make a career out of it.



GO BRO GO!

Why Did I do this!?

I borrowed my Father-in-Law’s pressure washer (thanks Royce!) and was cleaning the front of the house.
That turned into me cleaning the brick walkway that leads to the front door. I accidentally let the high pressure stream of water graze the driveway.
It blasted the black junk off with ease. Before I knew it, I had cleaned a 3x1 section. Then I did an entire section of the driveway.
It looks very good, but I have to do the whole thing now or it will look ghetto.

A lily runs through it...

Here's a pic of the lily that is starting to open in my pond. This be would a first time for this. I believe it is called a Spatterdock or a Yellow Pond Lily.

Great White Sharks

Sharks have always fascinated me. They’re such perfect killing machines with rows of teeth that replace themselves regularly without thought. We should have such a perfect tooth replacement system. They can smell blood at 1ppm (part per million)and even have a nictitating membrane that covers their eyes milliseconds before they attack to protect them.

The picture above which was verified by Snopes as being authentic.

You all may think I'm out of my gourd, but I would really like to do a cage dive to see these awesome creatures first hand.

I might be obsessed as my myspace page has a very skurry( thanks Hi C) background of a White Shark head with gaping Jaws.

Miami Bound! - Dream

In this dream, I was living back in the keys at my parents’ house and working at the local Summerland ACE hardware store. I was visiting my brother and his girlfriend in Miami. They were in the process of buying a 5 bedroom house in Miami. Towards the end of the dream everyone decides that I am going to live in the house with my bro and his girl and commute 1:15 minutes to work in the keys. We all know the drive is considerably longer than that, but this is my dream. Then I woke up.

Psycho cardinal captured on video!

I caught him on video this time.

Anyone have an idea on how to stop him that doesn't entail bodily harm to the bird? ;)

One person suggessted hanging a bottle of ammonia to the mirror.
I really don't want to have to worry about making slip covers for my truck mirrors as well as having to remember to take them on and off.

Psycho cardinal

Since Springtime I have noticed sratches on my side view mirrors and wondered what was making them. I found out the other morning and finally was able to snap a pic of the culprit!

I suppose he is fighting with his reflection in the mirror and window. The pic doesn't really show him in action. I tried to get a video but he left before I could do so. Stay Tuned...

A google search found me this site

Psycho Cardinal
by Marsha Stephens
Saturday morning (July 10)

"I awoke to hear a strange scratching sound coming from the roof. Atfirst I thought it may have been squirrels cavortingaround, but it seemed to persistent. I went outside to have a look and discovered that a male cardinal was the source of the noise. I have a woodstove with adouble-wall, shiny stainless steel pipe that comes outthe roof. He would flutter up and down two feet of thepipe, attacking his reflection, pause, and then do itagain. He finally stopped when full sun hit the area.I was hoping he'd have enough sense to stop in theheat. Interesting twist to the problems folks have sited previously on this list regarding cardinals at-tacking windows and car mirrors."





Why can't the stupid bird go find an old crappy car to scratch up the mirrors and windows on. Leave my fairly new truck alone. Stupid bird!

I think I'll have to put covers on the side view mirrors to see if that stops the madness!

Towing my Boat in Miami - Dream

Carol and I were in Miami with my boat in tow. We stopped by this new gas station because gas was 1.23 a gallon. That was for unleaded 87 octane. I was so stoked that I put a full tank of 93 octane in the truck.
I knew the custom Westers' tune that I had installed would make the truck be very peppy with that octane. The fuel delivery finished and the pump asked if I wanted a car wash. For some reason I said yes (which I never do because I only hand wash my baby). We then walked inside to get sodas. When I was at the counter getting ready to pay, I saw a young kid with a pressure washer spraying down my truck. I pay for the sodas and go see what he’s doing. He says this is the carwash that I paid for at the pump. I let him finish and 4 of us get into the truck. Carol myself the carwash guy and some other person I do not know. We drive around Miami with my boat in tow until the carwash guy says he needs get back to work. I make a right turn into a parking lot with only one way in and out. They have those parking space markers painted in white around the perimeter of the lot. I decide that I’m in a truck and can make it over the parking space markers ( even with my boat in tow) and whip the truck around and head back in the direction we came.

Then I woke up.

Why Trucks Rule

Now I know why I will always own a truck. You can't do this in an Accord ;)

Arg Arg Arg More power!

The end result. $30 worth(1.5 Yards) of double shred mulch. That'd be alot of bags from Lowes!

Suture Needles! Accccck! Dream

Carol and I were over in Russia for some reason. I needed to take a drive somewhere in my brand new camaro. There was road construction ahead so I slowed down. Apparently, this was all part of a speed trap and I was pulled over by a Highway Patrol officer.

I ended up in the patrol office with this guy from Prison Break suturing two holes in my belly. He kept sticking the needle in for fun and then pulling them back out. He did this multiple times. A long haird blond nurse then walked by. I told her what he was doing and she acted like she could help, but then SHE started poking me with needles too!. That's when I woke up.

Hackers... get a life.

Every morning I am emailed a report of failed login attempts to my Red Hat Linux box from the previous day.

This first attemp is from someone at this domain. I guess they are bored with learning about music and theatre? Who can blame them... there isn't much of a future from such a place unless they are planning on breaking into the Estonian film/acting industry or creating a band... " The Rolling Estonians" maybe?.

Maybe they are attempting to be an ethical hacker and land a job at the FBI?

Some of you may be wondering why I am up at such an ungodly hour on a Sunday. The answer to that is the cat... He did his almost nighly puke on our bedroom floor and it wakes me up. &^#&^$%@(!)$% cat.

I went to school with the computer lab manager, so let's help them convince General Mills that they deserve the 7k for new playground equipment!

Flying Dogs? (Gargoyale) - Dream

I was sitting at home in front of my computer and someone sends me an instant message on Windows Live messenger.

They ask me if I’ve seen the flying dogs yet. I tell them no and shrug off the incident. Shortly thereafter, I hear a commotion outside and see the neighbors pointing at the trees. I then see something swoop down out of the trees. It looks like a large dog with wings. I run outside to get a closer look and end up in a Tahoe by the side of the street with on of my friend’s old girlfriends.

She puts down the window and a baby flying dog makes it inside the vehicle. It is on the floor scratching my legs and flapping its wings. I keep telling her to grab it and toss it out the window. She is finally able to do so.  Then I woke up.

A few new Pond Pics

Roadway Litterbugs! UGH

Just about every day on my drive to and from work I see a cigarette butt get tossed out the window. It irks me to no end. Why can't they use an ashtray and dump those gross little mouth tirds in the trash where they belong?

NC has given me a way to report these litterbugs!

I use the voice recording feature of my mobile phone and record the Plate and location. Once a week ( or when I run out of space on my phone) I use the site above and report these do no gooders!

They supposedly get a nice letter from the State.

Does it do any good? Who knows, but I sure feel better about reporting them. ;)

One of the best parts of Spring and Summer!

My New Grill



This was dinner tonight along with some Uncle Ben's 90 second Spanish Rice and Sugar Snap Peas... YUM!

Picnic on Tarpon Belly

I was in the keys and the family had decided to picnic on Tarpon Belly, which is a series of 3 islands with two deep channels in between them. It used to be a fish farm at one time.
One of my co-workers (Michael Lemon) catches the last boat to the island with a commercial fisherman I knew on Summerland. I end up swimming around Summerland Key to the main highway (US1) where I stop by my favorite bait and tackle store. I need to buy some chips for the picnic. I end up paying $3.24 for a small bag of Tostitos scoops. I pay for it with a soaking wet $5 bill (wet from my swim around the island) and am on my way. Somehow, I end up getting a ride with this middle age guy down blimp road to his house. He’s going to loan me his 12 ft Jon boat with a 15 HP Mariner outboard so I can get to the party/picnic on Tarpon Belly. Halfway down the road to his house, we see a puff of smoke. Someone has started a fire in a white 55 gallon drum right on the edge of the road. We just barely make it by without dipping the truck in the water to the right. The gas tank is half full and the boat has water in it. The 3 drawer tackle box in the boat has no clasp to hold the lid to the bottom. I had to grab the tackle box by the bottom and top to lift it out of the boat. Finally I shove off from the dock and start the motor and begin to idle away from the dock. I then hear two kids say they need rides to the local college to take a networking class that I supposedly teach there. I tell them that they’ll have to find their own ride. I bring the boat up on a plane and wake up.

Sailboat dream

I was on a small sailboat somewhere in Mexico. I was sailing along minding my own business when a regatta ascended on me and swamped my boat. I ended up getting on one of the other boats. Turns out it was one of my old bosses. She and her husband are living their dream and sailing the Caribbean on their vessel the “Dog Star”. They are a member of The Caribbean 1500

And they often email us of their adventures.  I think I will post them as they are quite interesting reads.

Scary Feral Bobcat Sound Dream

Carol and I are in some city where the buildings are two stories and you can get to all the roofs via cement staircases.

We hear what sounds like a bobcat growl and go to where the sound was thought to have emanated from to find a human skeleton stripped to the bones. The odd thing is that the teeth are not attached to the skull and still have pinkish gums above the teeth. At this point we are scared to death and wonder what the heck can be doing such a thing. We hear the sound again and quickly run away from it. Curiosity gets the best of me and I have to see if the same thing has happened again. It has… bones and teeth with gums attached.

We then see a large woman about to wade across a shallow 6 ft deep pond. We see her go underwater as she walks but she doesn’t appear on the other side. We fear that she too has met the same fate as the other two people. We never get to investigate because I wake up at that point.

Jackie Chan! - Dream

Jackie Chan needed to get somewhere and I was the one to lead him. We ended up cutting through a hospital via the gift shop. We stopped in one of the clinics and watched some young girl get a shot. The person administering the shot had a needle in her hand and someone's arm was on the table (yes, with a body attached.. lol). The person stuck the needle in the patient's arm and appeared to twist the needle around a few times and then pull it out. I cringed in pain.

Jackie and I then moved on but he soon got sidetracked in a liquor store. Then I woke up.

Today's Dream

This dream skips all over the place.

At first, I'm with my parents in a strange house. Dad has a new dog that doesn't mind very well and he is telling it to get into a crate that is next to the bed. The crate looks more like a nightstand with a door. The Brindle colored lab does NOT want to enter the box/crate, so Dad ends up getting angry.

The next part, my brother and I are going fishing in my boat in the islands somewhere. We have to idle down this channel to the end where there is just enough room for one small boat to squeeze between two rocks to get to the open water. It is difficult to make it though because swimmers keep passing RIGHT in front of the opening. A boater behind me finally gets mad and shoves my boat out of the way and slips through the rocks and takes off.

I then see my moment and make it through only to end up in a swimming pool and my boat about to sink. Oddly enough, the life jackets in the boat sink as well along with an egg sinker.
I dive down to retrieve the life vests and sinker and then push my boat to the surface of the water and get back in.

That's all I remember... Thanks for reading!

Yet Another Keys Dream

You'd think I lived there.

I was at my friend Scott Pillar's house on Park Drive on Summerland Key, FL. All of his family were there hanging out. We were getting ready to go out for some water sports on his boat.
It turns out that he had recently been to the Philippines and had some ritual done where they embed a small crab in his neck. His brothers were in the other room digging the crab out of his neck. Outside on the dock, there were about a dozen loaded spear guns.

Odd Dream

My brother was graduating from the Citadel (He actually DID graduate recently from that school) and the ceremony was over. All the graduates had moved to the PT area where a dunk tank was setup. My dad was in his dress uniform with all his medals and was sitting on the platform of the dunk tank. A few other graduates were playing soccer and one spotted the CO and everyone scattered.
I had a bunch of my stuff from the graduation in the building nearby which must have been an island. An old childhood friend named Matt Lampton arrived with our old boat the T-Craft. His outboard engine was an old piece of junk mercury inline 3 banger with no motor cover. Dad was in the water at the transom and his black baggy swimsuit drifted into the prop just as Matt put the motor in gear.
I was already in the boat and bolted to the aft of the boat to help. That's why I woke up.

Worms Rock!

Some of you may know of my odd hobby of vermiposting. I harvested my first bin today and the reults were fantastic. Harvesting consists of me sifting through the worm castings and picking out the worms and old bedding. The whole process is quite relaxing and theraputic.
Props go out to Jeni Q for setting me up with my starter worms! She lives in Raleigh and has turned out to be a good friend and source of information.
While I didn't count the # of worms that I started out with, I do feel like my population has quadrupled! I'm totally stoked!

Race Boat Dream

I was living back with my parents at our Summerland Key House. The address is 564 W Shore Drive. I was helping mom and dad move an electrical outlet in the downstairs apartment. Wilson Philips was playing on the stereo and dad got mad and turned it off and said " why do I have to listen to that crap?" I said " Oh, It's ok for us to listen to YOUR music, but you can't listen to mine?"
We got into a fight, then I went outfront to look at the neighbors race boat. I had not been washed since the last time it was in the water. I could taste the salt water on the outdrives and see dirt on them. This isn't good for a race boat. I decided to hitch up to the boat and back the trailer into the water and start the engines to run them a little. I would then rince it off and wipe it down.
Dad reminded me that there was a race the next day and washing it off would be a waste of time. The boat was back infront of the house now and the owners were working on it while a lady played the bagpipes. I walked back to our house next door and then I woke up.

First Dream(That I could recall facts about) in a while

I don't recall everything about this dream but I'm posting what I can recall.
I was taking two classes somewhere as well as putting in a wood parquet floor in two of the classrooms. I had a box of the wrong material which had to be returned.
I was also at a park somehwere and I heard a baby crying. There was one in a culvert pipe. Another person was there who also heard the sound. He was infront of the pipe and I was on top of it. The baby then came out of the end and fell a few feet to the ground.


Then Carol's alarm went off and it's still dark outside cause some brillant people decided to push up the date for DST.
The only good thing about DST is that we have more light after work :)

First Dream of the New Year!

I was back in the Keys at my friend Scott's house. He had a new fishing boat and we were rigging up to go tiger shark fishing. The rig we were setting up was quite odd. It consisted of what looked like a giant grape stem to which we tied large treble hooks to. We baited the treble hooks with tiny puffer fish and there would be two different lengths of leaders tied to the treble hooks.
We then checked out the new addition to his house that had AC and everything nice. I was in the process of checking out the TV when I noticed a bombox precariously balanced infront of the TV. As soon as I touched it, it started to teeter and almost fell over. I caught it just in time.
We then were in the back yard trying to devise a way to drag in the large tiger sharks that we caught. I saw an old beatup sailboat with a 15 HP engine on the back putter down the canal and then my parent's went down the canal under tow. The 140 HP engine on their boat blew a cylinder.
That's when I woke up.
