Missed the Boat

Not so sure my new European friends are a good influence on me. Since Sunday, my diet has consisted of tortillas and lots of fruity alcoholic beverages. As we were lounging around the pool yesterday, the European named Jaquelyn said she bought tickets for us to go on some boat ride to a nearby island. The boat would leave around 6pm and return at 9pm. I quipped, "A three hour tour? We know what happened to the last group of people that opted to take that boat ride." They didn't get it.


Sam put in eight hours on his bulldozer yesterday. A representative from the NRCS office is scheduled to inspect Sam's progress this morning. "The only good cedar is a dead cedar." Kris and I delivered lunch to Sam and gave him a break from the daunting task of clearing several acres of cedar. Kris stepped up to the plate when Sam asked her if she wanted a lesson on operating the bulldozer. With Sam giving her directions, she held her own as she operated the machine for about 10 minutes. Kris pushed over a handful of cedar trees and was willing to clear out even more.


Cheryl has a Wedding Pictures CD ready for me but it will be next week before I pick it up. I don't plan on going back to town until next Monday morning when I report back to the work place. I promise to post pictures of the wedding though.


As fate would have it, I missed the boat ride. Too much sun and too many fruity drinks served in hollowed out pineapples created the perfect atmosphere for a siesta. Oh, and I found Sam! He was in the resort lobby drinking draft beer and watching ESPN with some guy named Bubba who hails from Smithville. Small world; huh? Think I may try my hand at snorkling this morning. After I wash down a tortilla with a fruity beverage.
