Dock walkin'...


When you are living in a marina, you spend some time dock walkin'.  No, not looking at other boats, just going to and from.

The weather weasels were predicting rain all day today.  We had a big day planned: laundry and a trip to the "other" store.  While doing laundry, we ran into our Wyoming friends, Jay and Jo-Lee...


You can tell by the shadows that the weather weasels missed the call again - sunny and lovely out.

The laundromat offers plenty of social interaction.  ;-)  We visited long after the clothes were done.  When we parted company, Joan and I took clothes back to the boat, then decided it was past lunch time.  Since we were planning to take the truck to the grocery store, we decided to eat at Tia's Tacos for lunch.  It was a good plan, but Tia didn't get the memo - they weren't open.  New plan: the Deli.  No place to park.  New plan: Hungry Clam (our breakfast place)... a place to park right in front and a good bacon cheeseburger for me and a rubin for Joan.  Then, off to the store.  Apparently, the grocery store and Tia's planned their day off together - they were closed, too.

Then, an e-mail from the boss: "Can you start a bit early and get a boat ready for the weekend?  Oh, and take a trip on Saturday?"  It's only a couple days early - sure.

Back to the boat.  Little Izzy was sitting in the window, looking particularly content...


"Isabella, do you want to go for a walk?"

"Umm... not really."

"It's quiet on the docks - this is a good time."

"Do I have a choice?"


So, here we are, walking the dock...


"Oh, that water looks cold"...


"Seriously.  That water looks really cold.  You know there's stuff that lives in that cold water, right?"

Just a short walk - "We're back"...


Notice the diffused shadows - yep, overcast again.  I shouldn't say it, but no precip.  Still, a very nice day.  :-)
