Just when we thought it was safe to paint the floor and go home.....The river was lowered last night by about 2 ft. It is now up 2-1/2 ft. Everything is flooded around here and I am sure my basement is full of water AGAIN! Willy is adjusting the dock lines. The plan was for me to pull out with the dogs but I-80 is flooded and I cant make it out with my car. At least this time we have some food. Cold pizza (again) plus, I made a strawberry pie yesterday....yummy!!! ppat

Well, I got home with the dogs. The roads where wet but not flooded. After I left Willy called to say it started pouring out again and he will be unable to paint the floor before he comes home. He is now planning to go back out tomorrow and paint. Rain, rain...go away....come again some other day!!! ppat

Another weekend and the same old shit! Friday night we are sitting in the Florida room and all of a sudden I warned Willy that we were going to be hit. These guys were heading straight for the transom of the Hatt Trick.Willy hollers out at them to not hit the boat. They figured out how to turn it and after a few minutes tied up to the visitor dock. Disaster deverted... So any way the asshole that was on the bow of the boat yelling to the driver "Turn right" comes over by the Hatt Trick...but couldnt figure out how to walk down our dock. He finally gets to the starboard side of us and yells up. I open the window and he demands to talk to the old guy. Willy comes to the window and the guy starts chewing him out. "what the F****, I am stressed out enough, why did you have to yell. I had it handled?" then the guy states that he has a gun. All of this while he has a beer in his hand. Willy threatened to call the commander (USCG) and this guy didnt have a clue what Willy was talking about. They stayed at the bar till closing time and then left in 2 vehicles. So, i guess the moral of the story is next time we let them hit us!!! ppat
ps PARTY TONIGHT at the bar!!!

Party is in full swing (such as in monkey swing). I went to take the dogs out for the last walk of the night. Almost 3/4 of the way to the bath house this melonjohnz was jamm'n so loud his bling wheels where vibrating. I had Bullit on a leash but Chewy was free wheeling it. Bullit took off one way and Chewy disappeared on me. (Dogs are afraid of this crap we put them through every weekend). I told the caucasianally challenged individual I needed him to turn the jam down. he got all hostile on me and told me to kiss off. Now, I am 5'7" and 130 lb...he was 6'3" and about 320 lbs. Just when it was about to get nasty, one of the yard guys pulled up and told the dude to turn it down...people sleep on their boats here and he needed to respect that. He apologized and I left it at that. I am counting the days till we pull the boats out of the water and I never have to put up with this place again... Willy is afraid I will hate the quiet at the new place but it wont happen. I will be able to watch a movie with him and we can go to bed like normal human beings again. Right now the norm on weekends is him asleep (sort of) on the sofa and me looking out. I am tiired of 3 am bedtimes for me and him....ppat

This weekend was pretty nice. The marina closed the loading dock so that curbed alot of the idiots. Actually went to bed at a decent hour all weekend!!! This weekend they are having a "Poker run" and party afterwards....THANK GOD...we wont be here for it!!! If they just continue to block the loading ramp and block off the parking lot around our cars all will be good! Just got to worry about some asshole messing with the Heart of Glass while we are gone. The boat that was next to her is gone and the Hatt Trick will be gone. She will be sitting ALL ALONE. Maybe we will ask the marina if we can move her for the weekend.....ppat

Just realized I forgot to update ya all. Friday night was pretty busy but ok. No real problems to talk about. Saturday was hotter than a (fill in the blank)....I went upstairs to the pilot house once during the day and saw about 75 bicycles at the bar. Must of just going for lunch cause they didn't stay long. Saturday night the bar parking lot was crowded but I didn't see any security so that meant no party was scheduled. Didn't have a problem in the boaters area so it turned out to be a good weekend. At lot of boats on the river but none worth yelling at! ;D This weekend I told Willy I will be on night watch! I will be sitting in the Florida room with the blinds open and a panoramic view of the river. A short walk to the pilot house will tell me what is happening at the bar. I may even kill some spider webs and go up to the flybridge to get a REAL GOOD look around!!! ppat
ps...everyone have a safe and happy labor day weekend!

I guess the weather(cold and windy) was on our side this weekend. It is 10PM on a Saturday night and only 2 cars at the bar!!! Today it was nicer and we saw alot of boat traffic speeding past us but not enough for me to get the bullhorn out. By the time the sun went down, the river was quiet and no problems. I guess summer is winding down here! I am going to enjoy going to bed at the same time as Willy again tonight!!! ppat
ps...we go home tomorrow morning....
