💙 Brocks Place make-over..

 

Working on re-creating Brock's blog page. Wasn't to thrilled with the dark version I had before so I decided to go with some colors that match his actual fur color. I am changing out the layout a bit as well as far as links, etc. Like always I am forever changing things around out of boredom usually, that and I like trying to stay somewhat creative in my attempts.

TRUTH..!

 


Sprung a leak..

 

Sitting here editing photos last night and I could hear what sounded like water gushing, but as I was on the back porch I couldn't make out where it was coming from. Our neighbor has an irrigation system for their lawn and it was just prior to when the system usually comes on. I followed the sound out through the front door and there it was.. right at the streets edge and corner of their lawn. Dang thing was spewing water 7-8 feet up...lol. 

Right after I snapped this photo it stopped and the actual sprinkler system started as normal..  I don't know if this thing has a purge to it, or its lost its cap, or what the cause was.. but from where I was sitting on the back porch it sounded like it was coming from the side of our house.. raising my concern a bit. I will have to inform them when I see them hopefully today..

W/E visitors

 

Lorrie & Mike took a cruise over the past week and they stayed here as their arrival & departure location as they often do, mainly due to the convenience of Port Canaveral. Its always nice having them stop by even if it is only for a couple days. Its better and longer when we actually cruise with them, but alas not this time..lol. Gives us a chance to catch up and a nice break from the daily grind. We enjoy their company, have a few laughs, good meals, and some time just to visit with other family members.

Now that we have two reliable vehicles, we may be able to reciprocate and actually take the drive and visit them up in Georgia where they are from. As stated, always good company and a great break when we can and do get together. They took an 8 day 7 nighter this round, and we are hoping to possibly get together and take one in January with them as a celebration of birthdays, and anniversaries as we have several during that month.

Close Call..

 

This guy barely avoided having a very bad day...lol. He was spraying the waters edge with some form of weed/algae prevention chemical, and his rear wheel sunk almost instantly in a soft spot at the waters edge.

I thought for sure he was going to take a swim.. he shut down the ride and jumped off just in time to prevent it from rolling over and going into the water. 

That thing sank up to its axel in like 2 seconds, narrowly escaping a bad situation. He managed to keep it upright though after struggling for about a minute to hold it there. He ended up calling his company or co-worker and the brought another machine and hooked on and pulled him out without any issues. But dang if I didn't think he was going in the pond. That really would have sucked...

Obviously the rear is heavier than the front and thankfully so for him. if that front wheel had sunk as well it surely would have rolled over, and he would have been swimming with the fishes, turtles and possibly gator.. making for a really bad day!
