Tribs, glad you are taking in a kitty. I worked for Arizona Game in Fish in dispatch in a former life. We had lots of calls on wildlife that needed help, so I totally appreciate volunteers like you.

Thanks all for the sympathy on the truck. Tribs, the damage has to be 80% of the value of the truck before they will total it. I hope to see it this afternoon, according to the estimator, "its gonna break your heart." Linda, the estimator believes the damage that was done was consistent with the vehicles that are used for transporting UDA's (Border Patrol speak for undocumented aliens) through the desert. I guess what they do is run at night with the lights out across the desert with people on the roof as spotters.

Hi BH!

Jerry..Yeah, thanks Freddie!

Yikes Brad! Just stand firm if the mechanic identifies frame damage. Don't accept no for an answer regardless of if it is less than 80%.

So you guys aren't going to believe this. I found Chloe a home on the first phone call!!!! I have never placed an animal this quickly. Heck the last 2 I tried to place ended up staying with me. LOL! This is so cool and a perfect fit. The guy had one of his cats die and he wanted a replacement. He just moved into a house so he has plenty of room and his cat is lonely. This is too perfect!!!!

Brad, I didn't even think of UDA's.
I'm used to seeing them wash up on shore like this:
floating truck
The Truckonauts!
Remember the floating truck folks? The ones that got stopped by the coast Guard just 8 miles off of the US after having altered a truck, making it float, and fashioning makeshift propellers to make it move?
Kristi - The could be your competition for party barge.

Krispi, I think the Coast Guard gave them the jackets. They ended up going to Costa Rica for a while, but don't know where they are now.

Party!!

Tribs - That was very quick. Great job!!

Lunch is calling - see ya'll later.

Brad I hope you can rent a truck for now so that you can still go camping - it's not like the season will wait for your truck to get repaired, huh!! So sorry you have to deal with that. Sad state of affairs with immigration.

Debbie, can't wait to see your pics. Those groupers are amazing.

Look whose tending the office for me while I get things ready for tonight

OMG, I so love handy men.

Soooo, the pool guy came (with his MR helper he hired from VR), and he is soooo good. He can do the backfill under the dock for 1k PLUS new screens on the lanai. And he did backfill under the pool deck for an extra $20, but I gave him $50.

And the pool is beautiful!

Larry's diving one day this weekend, working the other, and I'll even cut the grass.

Last estimate for a seawall was 6k. This guy's gonna do it for 1k.

I'm happy, and oh no.........it's not 5:00 yet, but like that sign for the bar I bought in Lauderdale, it's 5:00 somewhere!

Nice to 'see' you Sjoss :-)

I'm off to see if I can wrangle the dining table into my car --- I'm hoping I can pay someone to help me get it into my car and then one of the workers across the street (how convenient) to get it onto the patio. Still not sure if Guy will even be home tonight :-(

Tom you know Mare is omnipresent!! Never Fear!!!
Pass the straw please.....

Well, I've got the table up (thanks to strangers and neighbors!) and dressed... now time to get the food assembled. It's not looking like Guy will be home in time as more fires have churned up. You just never know though and we'll certainly keep the beer cold for him :-)

Well, we found our way back after a looong day of dirt biking :-) We road hard and, no, didn't get put up wet! LOL

My arse is tired though & sore from riding some nice trails near Natural Bridge, VA.~> http://www.naturalbridgeva.com/
I'm in awe of where I live! I have some awesome landmarks RIGHT in my backyard!!! Amazing for sure.

The trails are about 9 miles past Natural Bridge and it's beautiful in that part of my state!!

We spent the day with Rob's brother; he turns 55 tomorrow so we had some pre birthday dirt bike time together!!
Weather was hit or miss showers BUT during our ride it held off for us which was nice. The girls behaved while we were gone. I got up at the butt crack of dawn and took Bubbles to the office to spend 1/2 day with our employee/sitter. She came home, mid day, to let the older girls out and leave Bubbles here with them.

All in all a good, safe day of riding. Tomorrow it's nail spa time for me and maybe more riding later in the afternoon.

:-) You'll get there though..with or without clothes LOL!

I tend to do the same thing when it comes to packing for me. In May I had EVERYTHING packed for the Hoppner boys and not a dam thing for me...eeek! There was some serious last minute rolling up of shirts, shorts and stuff going on here for sure.

Rob, however, had dive gear strewn all over the guest rooms for about 6 weeks prior to leaving LOL!

Hey ladies.

R.A., been spending quite a bit of time with a dear friend lately. Still waiting on my tickets, I mean WTF, I am supposed to be a nanny/porter and have to buy my own airfare too?:-) Have a blast.

Kobi, I started packing last week need to finish it soon so I can repack several more times. Sorry about your arse, now you know why I don't wear the fishnet thingies when riding. Yup, fun at first but after a few hours - THE CHAFING OW, THE CHAFING. Oh well, what don't kill ya .........

Tara, that is a beautiful table. Ever make a table candle? It is fun.

Tom, the tickets were in the mail, you didn't get them??? Your friend needs your company right now so I guess I have to find another schlepper/nanny! I was really hoping it would be you, next time, and I'll even upgrade you from cargo to economy!

Lets crash Tara's party, anybody with me?? :-)
