The Captain's 1st Mate

When I’m a shrimp boat Captain, will you be my 1st Mate?

While picking up supplies for tomorrow’s Great America trip, I saw this sitting on the front counter. Since it’s also part of my theme for the day, of course I had to have a photo. But first I went, Whoa Nelly, I was just talking about both of those; Forest Gump & Spiced Rum. At $10, I didn’t buy it. But it would make a nice addition to my Tiki bar art.

(cue fortune teller music)

It’s funny how some days you just roll down life’s highway, not looking for, but running into the unusual. Maybe I am lucky or I have a good eye for it. It seems to happen a lot to me. Sometimes it’s uncanny; it can be a real déjà vu or at least coincidental.

Tiki C-Los

Newest member of the Sultry Salsa Singles club.

Today the Tiki bar received a little use. A good friend stopped by to see how I was doing. We kicked back a few beers, had a couple cocktails, and grilled some awesome lemon pepper chicken.

Tender grilled lemon pepper chicken.

The chicken turned out well. It was so tasty that C-Los had 4 of these and I had 1. All together, that was 2.5 pounds of lip smacking good Aldi’s chicken tenderloin. Two pounds for him and .5 for me. :)

Jaeger Bomb

In the right container, Jaegar Bombs are beautiful.

Now that I have a hitch, we made some plans for taking the boat out and doing some sailing on Lake Michigan. He’s got a cute little one that is the perfect size for me to tow.

We also moved the decorative emergency axe to a better location.

Beach Bar

I’m in love with my new Tiki Bar. It’s a little vacation in the backyard. Since I installed it, I’ve been stuck to it like glue.

Tiki Bar

I started with wireless shures.net access, then added a kick’n Sony STR-K502P system with KLH 970A weather proof speakers and a Sony SA-WM500 subwoofer to play my .mp3s off the IBM A31p laptop.

Macaw

Next came the Tiki Bar Sign, the Philippine bamboo party lights, and the Ebay stuffed parrot .
