Part III

By now, if you know us, you know what happened on the ride home from the wedding. Yes, horrifically, and hysterically, Butch and Jack parted company. This also involved R and myself washing the rental at 1am in the morning. There were several who were not moving too fast the next day. Butch, of course, was just wonderful. The fact that he kept most of us up with the earthquake snoring, was besides the point. Knowing how he is, I chose to sleep in another room...with the door closed....and I could still hear him. People just don't know how I can sleep with him when he snores so bad. I don't know. Once I do fall asleep, I'm usually dead to the world. If I could only get him to actually wear the CPAP machine at night, he might actually feel better-but that's another story.

The Pencil Whipper

Damn Brat with 2 3's and a handful of wild cards

We took the B&G's new boat out on Monday and had a beautiful day. We went north up the Intercoastal and had the good fortune to see a pod of dolphins fishing. There were about 7 or 8 of them and 4 or 5 of them were driving fish over a sand bar into the waiting mouths of their friends. A couple of them swam along with the boat for a while. One came up right next to the side of the boat, R probably could have touched them. We went to Pecks lake and dropped anchor and went up over the sand dune to the ocean where we picked up shells for a while. The ocean water was so calm and glass like, G decided that with time running short, we'd make a run down the ocean from St Lucie inlet to the Jupiter inlet. It was really nice out there with the boat making a full run. A shame though, that the water was just too cold to jump in. As we came through the inlet we looked over and there was a big old sea turtle swimming along. He had barnacles all over him. We got back in time for Butch and myself to jump through the shower, snarf up some of B's good chicken and get dropped off at the airport.

We didn't get in the door until after midnight, but that was okay. In the morning, I had to put shoes on, a down coat, and go to work. But I had a sunburn. And a really big smile.


Oh, and I forgot my damn camera out on the boat, so there are no incriminating pictures from monday.
