24 Jan, Mon

Mon, 24 Jan i'm thinking it's time to go. i still need to do one project that i initially planned to do, that i have not yet done. i want to divide one cat area into two. i need to build a structure that will support a piece of chain link fence. i've been hoping to get some 'man-power' to help, but so far i've not been successful. so i'll attempt this on my own today .... it's now or never! as it turned out, it actually wasn't as difficult as i had anticipated. due mostly to the fact that Walter bought us a new phillips-head screw driver bit! with a bit that actually worked, i could construct what i needed. by the end of the morning the structure was finished. just needed help putting up the fencing. Ishie and i went to The Split to snorkel for the afternoon. the tide was going out, but wasn't too strong, so we headed out. we were snorkeling and minding our own business, when i looked up to find the side of a boat right in my face! i pushed it away and looked at Ishie, who was holding her forehead; ...the boat had bumped her! some guy in a boat with 2 girls, wasn't watching where he was going! we were both ok, but decided to call it a day from snorkeling. we had a rum and coke at the bar and headed back to finished up for the day. i recruited everyone, including Ronnie, and we strung the chain link fence onto the structure, secured it, and we were done! what a sense of accomplishment! before: after: ok, i forgot to take the 'after' photo :( if i get one later i'll send it. the 'show' must go on! Stephanie and i went out to find some dinner, we were starving! We choose the Enjoy Restaurant. Being from New Brunswick, Canada, Stephanie has only eaten Maine Lobster and didn't care for it. she tried the grilled Reef Lobster here and has decided she likes it, .... a lot. so she had the lobster and i had Hogfish. i had it last year, and it was wonderful .... and it was just as wonderful this year! and the fish looks remarkably like the swimming fish:
