Greetings and Salutations!
Whelp…
I broke down and bought the ‘net on the Boat. So I can throw some adventures up as I go. First off: The Boat? The Margaritaville Islander.
A VERY nice (and newer) Boat than the Paradise that I was on last time. This one’s ‘central avenue’ is all done up for Christmas:
Besides being nicer, the beers are cheaper much to my relief.
Of course I’m did/am doing the “bottle of Isopropyl” like I used to do in Iraq. That’s triple rinsing a new EMPTY 91% alcohol jug, and ‘reloading it’ with Everclear… So now with the free lemonade and strawberry kiwi, I ‘juice it up’ with some octane, and hey! Bob’s your Uncle!!!
So I got that going for me!
I am having a raffle after this to defray costs. A basic M-4 from the collection OR
I can do one of the Enfield MK4s.
Y’all tell me.
Which do you prefer?
Now on the way ‘out of town’ we went UNDER the Sunshine Skyway Bridge (in the background) which was cool AF. The sunset was cool too:
This Boat even has a water slide!
PLUS three hot tubs
Oh, and before I forget, THIS crowd on the Boat?
85% or better ALL whytte.
Sooooo relaxing.
Now some of these amenities? Mind you I -think- it’s a wee bit much for a Boat, but what the Hell right? The food on this one is ALSO superior, so I got no complaints!
Except I’m bent my diet is out the window
AGAIN!
So More Later
Big Country
Go get em, my negro. Cheers!
Fuck yeah brother, brilliant idea, a little extra octane is good, hope you have a blast
Isn’t someone going to ask ‘why’ you’re carrying around a bottle of isopropyl alcohol? Carry a few band-aids too, or some gauze pads and medical tape. Camouflage, yaano??? Who knows, some good looking lil hottie might ask if you are a doctor and can you look at her boo-boo……
Covered. The ‘damaged leg’ needs the alky-mah-haul to dry out and sterilize the wound doncha know?
BTW, how is it going w/ leg recovery…sorta back to whatever normal baseline is/wuz? Mo betta that you are continuing time for yourself & was really cool writeup (& share recibes) from recent ‘BCE & Sappers excellent adventures.’ Be interested abootbthe comparisons and contrasts from last boat trip. Keep rocking it Bro – experiences like these helps you get a little more sane after the years of swimming in excrement.
Just say “because of Covid,,,” in a hushed voice and they will never ask again, but still, I’d do 151 cuz ever clear just tastes vile to me, but either way it’s effective. Cheers!
A big bottle of Listerine is good to hide the booze in.
Also a comment, “someone and her family drama must have been costing you a damn fortune because you’ve been on more trips in the last months than you were in the last 10 years” !!
I’m damn happy for you, you have a big smile on your face all of the time and having a blast.
Something to think about is that my wife and I could live in 2x the house we live in and yet we purposely downsized because all kids are adults and on their own and we wanted that money instead of going into a stupid house to be liquid so that we could travel and do fun things as well as pay off all debt (which we have).
In the new year especially since you work from home maybe think about selling the current casa and moving to a cheaper to live AO with less “muh diversity”. You’ll then be in better financial shape and have the cash to keep doing fun trips several times a year.
Work from home?….dood’s an endentured servant at the glorious peoples tractor factory. Pretty sure they send him on RnR w/ a little time away so heads don’t end up on entry gate posts as btdt trophys.
You’ve taken more vacays in the past month or so than I’ve taken in the last almost 18 years.
Lucky fucker.
Yah, but I’m eating Ramen allllll the time now…
Sacrifices must be made, ‘cos hey, Seize the Day bro!
This Shitfestivus Circus is shortly coming to an end, so I’m packing in some living BEFORE it all goes to Hell in Ye Olde Handbasket. Hate the game, not the player.
LOL…I’m still waiting on the Shitfestivus Circus…it’s about the only thing I really have to look forward to.
Ditto!
Carpe the Diem good Brother.
Hey, I inherited some .303 boolits and brass, if’n you’re shy on those. Could ship ’em down to you.
Amazing how much extra green you have when you ditch the deadweight and drama.
Just don’t vacay yourself into bankruptcy.
Enjoy the trip BC, and as for the raffle I’m thinking the Enfield would make a decent choice and attract more entries.
i have to wonder what will become of these floating hotels once ww3 is in full swing?

It’ll be like during Covid where you had a bunch of cruise ships docked in out of the way ports with skeleton crews on board for maintenance.
M4 vs Enfield. Would I want another extremely functional and reliable Toyota Tacoma or a sweet, classic 1951 F100? End of the day, with how shit continues to slide, probably another Tacoma…
See if you can find some cheap Ivermectin at a Mexican drug store.
Good to see you enjoying yourself, do so as much as possible. One good thing about old age is… it doesn’t last long.
Posting this so if someone comes across one of these hairy monsters, they’ll know what it is. Ukraine mocked Russia’s hairy anti-drone tanks—now builds its own https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4355746/posts
Something that I just saw.
Pay attention for further details.

Good to see you getting serious relief from all the stresses of your life that have piled upon you.
After being married to a woman who went nutso after 15 years that I finally divorced after 29, I can confirm it takes a long time to heal and adjust to a normal life without drama and pain.
FWIW, I’d probably bid on an Enfield. Another M4, not so much.
I second, (or third) the vote for an Enfield auction!
Spill it … you’re trolling the ship for “action on the high seas.” 😀
