What a wonderful weekend weather-wise. Ol' Scrappy and I logged close to 8 miles, and the sunshine seems to help him tons.
 |
| Morning doves, kings of the road... |
 |
| "Am I near-sighted, or are you the most beautiful hen I ever... no, near-sighted. You're a stick." |
 |
| And there you have it- utility work on the trail is so unpopular, it says, "No support" right on their structures |
 |
| For some reason, they've put a nice long boardwalk in between two of the tower structures. Guessing they don't trust the eroding river side of the trail there. |
 |
| Redwings were singing all over Saturday morning. |
 |
| Ducks lifting off |
 |
| Scrappy investigates a new element, called straw |
 |
| And inspects the heavy equipment |
 |
| And, an obligatory stop at the (soon-to-be) Green Hole. |
 |
| At the duck pond |
That night, former co-worker Robin got us together for the second year at the VFW Valentine dinner and dance...
 |
| Music actually by the Junk Yard Band |
 |
| But if you zoom in, the singer looked like Jack Nicholson, and the white haired dude dancing was a good facsimile of Frankie Valli. |
 |
| And Robin's guy was a Bill Clinton ringer. |
 |
| Chris: "Do something Clinton would do! Grab her ass!" |
 |
| Left to right: Jack Nicholson, lovely current co-worker Celeste, yours truly in Dent May attire trying to dance, Bill Clinton who can twist like you would not believe. |
 |
| Celeste and Ron |
 |
| I guess I should mention that a) "Bill Clinton's" actual name is Dan, and b) he's not a pervert like Bill so Celeste was never in any danger. |
 |
| $10 of 50/50 tickets shot up the butt as usual, might as well build a house with them... |
Ta-DAAA!
 |
| This lady was the life of the party. I'm guessing she had a couple of decades on me, but she danced nearly every fast song, and even drug my butt out there once! |
And now, the pics I stole from Robin...
 |
| They had these new "experimental shots" called Tainted Love. Grenadine, some kind of strawberry tequila stuff, and Bailey's. Darn good. |
 |
| Robin and Dan |
 |
| Y'know, I never knew that heart was up there until I saw the picture... |
 |
| Whatever it was, it was damn funny |
 |
| One more time, Frankie and Jack |
So that's why Jack Nicholson hasn't been in any movies lately... good to see him keeping busy, I guess?
ReplyDeleteAnd that's a life lesson, right there. Find you a woman who looks at you the way that duck looks at that stick.
Chris:
ReplyDelete---Okay, so at least TWO people I know had a great weekend. Count Scrappy and make that THREE.
---Love that "no support" tag on the "bridge"...could mean TWO things, actually...heh.
---Last time I saw a boardwalk, it had a Mr. Peanut store, a Salt-Water Taffy place and a Laura's Fudge emporium...oh, and the Atlantic Ocean was CLOSE by.
Those dozers and such remind me of "The Conga Line" in the movie AIRPORT...they coming to MY neighborhood? I don't think we have ENOUGH here yet.
---The party...what can I say that probably hasn't already been said?
Dent May strikes again?
I know I'm getting older...I used to frequent affairs like that at the Legion Post and a couple other "police bars" in the day (in Philly).
Just not into that these days...don't want to bother people with any sort of "life-story" should they ask...I might kill them with boredom...LOL.
(or shock them to death with fright)
Either way.
Glad you guys had a blast.
Stay safe (and not hung-over) up there, brother.
8 miles is bloody great, I can't walk 8 feet let alone 8 miles, I did do just over an hour on my wi fit this morning, I do an hour at least each morning which is something I guess.
