I'm taking the 10 year old (aka Bajanuts0.5 :biggrin:)to the local Saturday farmer's market for him to sell Lavender Lemonade at $1/cup. He should clear about $130 in 4 hours.

Midway throught the morning, he'll run a couple blocks over to join our small town parade playing violin on a flatbed trailer with the rest of his classmates. Parade usually lasts about 30 minutes, then it's back to the Farmer's market.

Hopefully in the afternoon we'll be motivated enough to take the Criscraft bowrider out for a toodle on the Columbia River.

Hey hey hey, I'll be in that crowd at Crowley watching the fireworks. Didn't know there's a Nomad in Crowley! I recently met the Slocum's owners; they have a place in Bahia. And there's a gal named Diana from June Lake who also has a place in Bahia. We ought to have a Nomad get together sometime!

I'm staying at home in Upland. Going to swim in my pool and relax around the house. I am really enjoying the cooler weather we are having in So. Cal. this year. Loreto is in the mid to high 90's---but its the humidity that gets me. I had enough of that in Vietnam to last me a lifetime. Hope you all have a wonderful 4th--and a safe one too. The Shark is chillin'.



If there is no fishing in heaven, I am not going

I put my flag out and packed for the trip to Loreto tomorrow morning. Guess the Dorado bite is wide open,,,,, Guess what? The Pacific ocean has calmed down enough for people to chase Albacore. They are hammering them out of Half Moon,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, What the heck do I do??? I have six jars of Albcore left from two years ago.

The US flag: I won that flag 39 years ago while in the straight Boy Scouts. It is faded but does not have any tears. It flies every year.

Reap and believe in the voting people.

I took 'Nuts0.5 to the farmers market. We figured he'd sell 130 cups of lavender lemonade. He only sold 125 cups............I think he drank the other 5 cups! Not bad for a 10 year old, 130bucks on 4 hours, and I worked the booth for the hour he was in the parade! There was a float with gradeschool kids who play the violin/viola/cello.

Last year, at the parade, the violin float was right in front of the last parade entry.......the FIRE ENGINES! It sounded like a great idea until they were on the route.
"tah dee, ta dee, ta dee dee dee....HHHHOOOOOONNNNNKKK.....ya tee dah dah dah ......HOOONK HHHOOONNNK!........."

can you say red-faced parade coordinator?!?

I was just laughing all the way to the end of the parade:biggrin:. This year I was glad to see the kids in the middle of the parade, nowhere near the horns.

All in all, a GREAT time was had by all.

BWD's tomorrow...........(bacon-wrapped dogs)
