So the Queen said we need to buy a beach umbrella

So I complied and she picked one out and we went to the beach

Only the damn thing kept blowing inside out from the stiff breezes that come up everyonceinawhile

So what to do  cant let Bonnie burn as she is very fair skin unlike her husband who tans quickly

Well we had gone to the supermarket and had all these plastic bags in the room as I recalled

Walked back to the unit came back with the bags post haste (that means quickly but did stop a minute to down a Palm Beer from the aforesaid shopping trip, making it a true multi purpose trip)

put a few handful of sand in each and took off the end of each umbrella rib run bag handle thru and put cap back on

kind looks like an indian princess tent from a great great distance

bonnie took this pic of me reading a book next to her throne

We are deciding if we like the hanging basket look or the tied look which 2 of them are now


Umbrella is rock steady now and the Queen is Happy so all is well in Boca today

I also learned I like Palm beer which is apparently from Belgium

could it be that I have some redneck blood running in my veins or is is just rube goldberg (inventor of the mousetrap game)?

ROTFLMAO Gig that there was funny


think we like the hanging bag look better than the tied look


duct tape is always handy but would not have worked here, neither would WD 40

so the old saying is proven wrong here

not everything can be fixed with duct tape or wd40

As you know the newspaper bidness ain't doing so hot, so I'm thinking of opening up a garage.
I've already got a shade tree and some wrenches. Here a few pictures of my work:

















Whadd-ya think? Can I make a go of it?

I got a Sears service van used (a '67 in '72), and after it was gutted, took a bunch of guys on a multistate road trip.  Folding lawn chairs for everyone but the driver (me)... it was OK except for starts and stops.  Reminded me of bowling pins... everyone falling down.   Grin

After a few beers, everyone got used to it.  
OK, I'll be braking in one, two, three........ hold onnnn.
