Idle chat: wings, waves, wheels…

Points aren't too far apart then?
I kind of decided against getting a motor bike, but cool thinking about it..
(Boys and their toys, never grew up, keeps me young)

I bet they are glad to be home, 6 months on the space station is too long..

Boat ride with my doggie today, a bit scary at first and a bit unsteady, but she still liked it:

Yup, she loves it, but uh, a bit scary daddy..

She has done about 50 boat rides in Fort Lauderdale

Aye Capt Ralph: “ The Slow Speed, Minimum Wake” restrictions are only from May 7th to 1st September or some such thing.

Ha, rocking the boat is not a big deal, the puppy is getting her sea-legs tuned up and dialed in, and liking it a lot.
Occasionally we see 40-50’ SF or Express Cruisers plowing the ICW bow high leaving huge wakes, but not today..

Ha, easy there Capt Ralph: The pigs are still around, you can’t blame their perceived absence on Lankees, Yankees or uh, Norwegians.
The pigs come out from the bushes in the winter months to tear up gardens, backyards and swale grass looking for food. We hear ‘em grunting in the summer as well when walking the dog in certain areas.
Never seen a wild pig around here, but they are around for sure.
Same with deer, lots of deer families in the hood, even crossing roads in daytime, they are small and skinny, almost look like a pack of dogs.
Also had a snake come visit recently, he was nice enough but let us know to keep
distance, supposedly a highly venomous one..

No idea about legality of using a BB gun around here but not a good idea trying
to kill him at short range with a shovel or a gun: This was a cottonmouth, deadly
snake, won’t mess with it,
(He left after an hour or so, peaceful encounter, I didn’t try to kill him, he didn’t
Try to kill me)

Had a new pool built recently, not impressed with the finish: Why can’t these guys make a straight caulk line…?
(I pointed it out several times before the water went in, easy to fix then. Today a guy came trying to work upside down in his knees. No cigar.)



Am I too picky, or is this normal sh!t in North Florida.?

Hmm, I never even thought my contracted scope of finish would be anything but
High standards, didn’t cross my mind that a sloppy finish would be what I signed
for, Jeez..

From their website:

https://www.waldhauerpools.com/

I didn’t go shopping for the cheapest pool around, instead our builder recommended this pool contractor and we listened to them.
I fully expect the tile and grout work to be fixed/corrected shortly.
