Mimicking the Trade Winds

Curt — Thu, 10 May 2012 03:24:32 +0000

I am in the process of getting my front porch redone. What I want is something that is homey. Not necessarily anything that is fancy but something that I can enjoy. On my front porch I am thinking of getting hunter outdoor ceiling fans just to be certain that there is always a breeze blowing through. It’s something I picked up when I was down in Aruba with the trade winds and it really makes a difference. You see, down there its always like 85 degrees but with the breeze blowing through it always feels so much better.

Waste Not Want Not

Looks like I ruined a fairly new shirt today. I was at work and decided to be a good samaritan and help someone out and in the process I got bearing grease all over my shirt. I doubt I will ever be able to get the stain out of the shirt so its probably best to not even try. So, what I normally do when something like this happens is I will use the ruined clothing as something to wear when doing yard work. I’m not big on wasting anything so I won’t be throwing it away. I’ll find some way to get a year’s worth of use out of it.

Planning a Getaway

I’m planning on taking a trip down to the Southern Caribbean later on this year. Hopefully I’ll be heading down to Venezuela for a little bit of snorkeling and relaxation. I’d be going in late August or early September which is right in the middle of hurricane season. But, contrary to what you may believe hurricanes don’t actually pose a threat since Venezuela is below the hurricane belt. However, that doesn’t mean it will be perfect as it can get pretty hot, obviously. Hopefully, that won’t hinder my ability to pull back the hot tub covers for some night time relaxation. I am not completely familiar with how these things work but hopefully I can run the hot tub without the heat actually running so its more like a cool tub. I think the night time temperature will be in the lower 80’s but with a breeze so we’ll see how that feels.

Gone Fishing

Literally I am going to go fishing. I haven’t gone in nearly a decade but I have nothing to do today and one of my friends called me up so I figured I would give it a shot. If nothing else it will give me an excuse to drink beer and goof off. My girlfriend always tells me that I need to get out of the house and hang out with people more, so I figure this will a good opportunity to take her up on that advice.

Falling In Love All Over Again

I completely fell in love recently. I was visiting an old friend and saw his ibanez guitar and immediately knew that I needed to have one too. I haven’t ordered one yet but right now I’m trying to narrow down which one I want to get. I don’t have nearly as much time to play as I did in the past but that’s all part of being an adult. I still manage to get some time in during one of my weekend days and like I said when I go to concerts, but its nothing like jamming with an old friend. I’m planning on picking one up soon to add to my modest collection.
