Post by waterguy »

Monday we are up but not moving real well so we have breakfast under the lanui.

Stayed all morning till the hunger pains forced us to skinny's for burgers and drinks. We split up on the way home one Jeep headed to Josephine's for salad mix and the other to Starfish for the rest of the dinner menu to go with the dry aged rib eyes I brought down. It was a great meal of salad Island mashed potatoes and steaks good wine and good company.


Tuesday was a work day. Got up early to beat some of the heat The girls headed into town to shop. We replaced the gears in the garage door openers ran some wire and installed outlet for a timer to the new garden and installed the new flat panel TV's The girls got back in time for sunset happy hour. After It was time for me to make supper tonight it was some thick cut pork chops, Mango salsa and Lime and coconut rice way too much wine tonight. By the way if you haven't figure it out I never think of taking food porn when I cook.


Wednesday One couple has to leave and the other 4 are headed to STT to pick up furniture and do some shopping. We see a thick cloud of smoke on the barge ride over. Try to go the normal way we we go but the police have the road closed so we head around the north side of the island. We hit all the furniture stores on island and costuless Have a great lunch can't tell you where it was I was lost by this time. We figure that we won't have enough room for the girls and all the things that were bought so we drop them at the people ferry and head back to load up it's a good thing to we thing strapped to the roof the back of the Cherokee filled to over flowing and the back door bungeed down. Pia told me about a place to get fresh fish on STT because the wasn't any on STJ so we stopped There I wanted Mahi or Grouper But they didn't have those but they did have Bar Jacks picked up to larger ones. We got back unloaded and just got into the pool when the phone rings. The other couple is at the airport on STT and can't find their car keys we check the safe yup there still here. Try and find a way to get them to them but they decide to rebook their fight to the next day and come back over. I have to remember this for when I don't want to go home hide keys so you have to stay.LOL We head down to the ferry to pick them up I run into STJ spice to pick up some fresh spices for tonight's dinner Ruth and Ron aren't there again.LOL Tonight's dinner Bar jack Veracruz from the off topic thread Joesphine's salad brown rice with cilantro and cumin. I was worried that we wouldn't have enough fish with the extra mouths to feed but not to worry but there wasn't any leftovers.
