CRISPINS CRITTERS

[Peyton Manning]

It is an honor and a curse to share that part of one. For it to be real one cannot simply "turn it off." Had a long discussion with GIB about the headphones and the waves and the silence of digging rust. I am honored whenever anybody shares their problems with me. To let me inside their walls is truly an honor. It is a curse because that emotion cannot be repressed or suppressed. It must come out of ones subconscious somehow...someway. I am a pacifist by nature...although I won't hesitate to choke somebody. We all share Terra 1.

I understand the part about sharing problems. I have had times when some have leaned against me. It is indeed an honor.

Point 4 applies foremost to Squiggy...yes, I just replied to my own post.

Squig? LOL really? I haven't argued with her that I recall. ( just try to provoke her for fun) And really, who is anyone on here? Do we actually know who anyone IS?

 

[G.I.B.]

Yep, Christmas week… always interesting.

Crispin,

Bill Withers - Lean on me.

 

[bill from lachine]

Crispin,

John Lee Hooker - One bourbon, one scotch and one beer.

Squig is your friend...and a good one at that. Argue was a strong word...perhaps playfully banter is better.

Yes...I am honored to know quite a few of you and I intend to know all of you. I have met TH, DR, GIB, and PTC in person. Talked to Bill on the phone several times. Unless you plan on dying soon...the next time you come to Florida you may meet me. I will meet GMD in March. I intend to meet all of you...

GIB,

How far and how long will 50,000 dollars get me on your boat? Eva has to come as well.

So, I'm home for a couple of weeks. Had as much fun in Hyannis as I could stand.

I'm getting the boat ready for sea as the Admiral and I are escaping dry land for the holidays. We are going south, may end up somewhere in the Key's.

My boat has been ignored for a few months so I was shaking out the sails and basically going over everything at the dock. It's better to find problems there than underway.

My jib, the headsail, is a roller furling. So, I started to unroll it just to check everything and these little brown splotches started hitting the deck. Much to my surprise they were little brown bats. They found a space in the rolled up sail and called it home.

I was somewhat mortified because I thought I may have hurt a couple of them when they hit the deck...

I got a bucket and but a towel in the bottom and collected 4 of the little guys. A couple were still hanging on the sail, still asleep. I guess it takes a lot of wake up a bat.

The others were in the bottom of the bucket and inside the boat resting comfortably. I could see they were still breathing and when I propped up a stick I got them to hang on it upside-down and they seemed happy.

I had to stand guard on the deck, it's 4 pm and the hawks and owls and such might like a free tasty meal. I couldn't roll them back up without crushing them, so the watch (with a cold corona) was on duty.

As dusk approached the two little guys on the sail started stirring and eventually flew off.

The little guy's in the bucket finally got up and went to work eating our local bug population, so all was right again, and I was feeling better.

This morning all the bats were gone, having found someplace else to roost for the night.

Heading out in a few days, back the second week of Jan.

Ahoy~





Still asleep...

GIB,

How far and how long will 50,000 dollars get me on your boat? Eva has to come as well.

It will get us to the Exumas till next October.

Till Jan 2015 if we don't turn into alcoholics.

 

[Crispin]

But will you take obamacare? I am supposed to get some with anthem bcbs.

yes...I take almost all insurances. I refuse to take insurances that reimburse less then medicare. The least they can do is meet the low ball government standards. Not to do so is an insult to MDs.

 

[Peyton Manning]

Promise not to commit me or put me in a strait jacket?

You never cease to amaze me. Okay, I'll double it to 100,000 but I won't have that type of cash on hand until May. Plot us a course straight for Tortuga and plan on dropping me off in Brazil for the World Cup in June. You'll have to take Eva back to the US. Don't think Brazil is a safe place for over friendly puppies.

 

[bill from lachine]

Crispin/GIB,

$50,000 should keep you guys going for a good stretch out at sea....but please do me a favor and stay out of those dang casinos unless you're just playing for chump change.

Regards + HH

Lol, never put anyone in a straight jacket. I only commit those who are an IMMINENT danger to themselves or others. "Others" mostly means me. Promise me you will not tell me you are going to kill yourself and I promise I won't commit you.

Tell me about it. I'm still paying off the second mortgage from GIB's last "fail proof scheme."

 

[bill from lachine]

G.I.B.,

You know for a tough a*s guy you're a soft touch in a lot of ways.....I guess I fall into that mold also....

Heck I adopted Crispin when he was being treated like a leper or something.....funny how things unfold in our lives, eh?
