This was a normal day as every day after you retire is cause for celebration and a party. :p
This morning like most mornings I walked on the beach to watch the sunrise.
Always beautiful
I never walked this way before because this beach if a few hundred yards west of where I live so it was...
Before the sun went down it was very hot so I got this huge, 7' beach umbrella to put on the back of my boat for shade. I think everyone was jealous.
As the show was in full swing I blasted "God Bless America" from my boat speakers as did some other boats and the small floating "barge"...
This morning after a day yesterday of 4 1/2 hours on the phone with my internet provider and my TV manufacturer Samsung I got "most" of my devices working. One Alexa is still argueing with me but I think she is coming around because she told me to come back later. :rolleyes:
I had a little...
It was very foggy for my beach walk this morning.
I made it to the steps but couldn't even tell where the sea began and the sand ended.
I walked and walked and did find, as usual a stranded horseshoe crab with his tail sticking straight up.
I didn't take a picture because I waste so much...
I always help out my crab friends and have saved countless horseshoe crabs in this way. I know they have been here for millions of years before Nancy Pelosi was born but I think even if they had thumbs they would still do lousy on standard "true and false" tests. I mean, there is an entire...

On my morning beach walk I noticed something at the surf.
I thought it was two octopuses wrestling, but I was wrong and we don't get many octopus here on Long Island and if we do, they get along and don't fight.
On closer inspection I noticed they were Horse shoe crabs. A common...
I got the cast off and now have a removable one so I don't have to wear it any more. :D
I have to fix my boat as we got towed in last week. And I have two engines. :confused:
Unfortunately, I am slowly losing some of my corals. Due to this broken wrist with the full cast on it wyhich I cant get wet, some sponge isgrowing up the bases ofthe corals and I can't get in there to trim the stuff. That is normaly the maintenance I do like weekly. I really need to trim the...
I think new Steam Punk thing is coming out pretty cool. It needs a lot more work and being I am a lousy computer programmer getting the sand timer to invert every minute was the hardest part. But it works perfectly.
Of course the thing goes into a glass dome.
I took an amazing walk on the beach this morning.
The sunrise wasn't that spectacular as it was foggy like it often is by the sea.
But as I walked, I went past a place where no modern man has ever walked.
I came upon this Hieroglyphic rock painting.
I could tell it was very old probably...
That reminds me of a story. One morning many years ago We were building a 60 story office building in Manhattan and we were having a big job meeting with all the main people. Owners, foreman's etc. (I was the electrician foreman) The plumbing foreman was this huge man, 6' 4", with a beard...
