Wife snapped this one of the very wet and very worn out dog yesterday!

View attachment 203418

I grabbed this one of the 5yr old reeling him and the 11yr old back in on the disc shortly there after.

I named my boat “The Salty Wiener” as my wiener dog like to ride on the boat in Tampa Bay. It’s family friendly yet dirty at the same time lol. Drag the kids behind a boat for a while, it’s the best sleep everyone in house will get lol

Drive to my parents house today in southern Ohio from Tampa. Came across these future site members on my way through Tennessee.

Not a Yamaha but i took similar pics of a boat being delivered to the dealer, I think, at the nearby marina. Looks like a lot of thought went into loading the rig (boat and it’s trailer) onto the trailer. IMG_2808.jpegIMG_2807.jpegIMG_2805.jpegIMG_2806.jpeg

Just saw these stories on the local news tonight.

An SF BarPilot was in charge when a princess cruise ship kissed the dock. Now instead of leaving port this morning for Alaska, it’s sitting at the dock with no word of if/when the cruise will continue.
I think someone is getting fired for this.

also, the last living survivor of the sinking of the USS Indianapolis (which delivered the nuclear weapons used in WWII, got sunk by a torpedo, and only 300 or so of those who entered the water survived the shark attacks and exposure for three days) lives nearby and is celebrating a birthday tomorrow.

Is that custom, or can it be purchased at a home improvement store? That would be great around my gravel driveway addition.

Looks great by the way.
It’s custom. I had a contractor do it. They mix the concrete and color together and put it in a machine that lays the form. There’s also a steel cable on the inside that runs the length of it.

You can get a trowel on Amazon to get a similar solution with bagged concrete and DIY, but it is gawdawful slow and tedious for what it is. It's done custom usually with a machine, and the result is far easier on everything but your wallet

Day 2 is in the books. I got all of the sod dug out and laid additional weed block in most of the new areas. I should be able to finish laying the weed block and spread the stone tomorrow. I’m officially tired of this project. Three days of this chit is enough for me!

I paid $3,100 for all of it. Not exactly cheap. But it will look really nice when it’s done. Many of the houses in my development have it.

The Heeler is a fan of "Alone" on history Chanel like her pops. Problem is she doesn't understand "DOWN IN FRONT" and I miss a lot of the show, especially when they are pulling fish out of the lake.
