Been a few days....

And I have spent that few days sitting in front of my computer attempting to catch up on emails, web work and bluck...accounting!

Every time I think I have one knocked down more shows up. Picked up new outdoor cushions for the boat on Monday. That means all the purple ones that we just recovered every other year in the current favorite color can go to the garbage...

Bazza is working on "boats" plural, and it seems to be a toss up which one is at the top of the list on a particular day. I know he is putting in depth finders in mine that he wants to get in before the "OLD FOLKS" arrive next week and want to take the Bingo Bus out Fishing!

I have a funny story for you. I was on Necker Island for a meeting a few weeks ago. Been many years since I was on there, going back I think to about when the swimsuit issue of Sports Illustrated was shot there a decade ago....


I was told an amusing story about the flamingoes, of which we are seeing many more around up in this area. There is a reason for that! I don't know how much this was embellished...But apparently a few years ago Branson decided to buy some Flamingoes and populate the island with them. There are two salt ponds on Necker, so he bought a couple hundred Flamingoes.....


They hung around for awhile, they fed them, but then they ALL flew away! He waited awhile, they did not come back so he bought more Flamingoes, another 125 or some such. This time they thought they were smart and tagged them so they would know which ones were "their" flamingoes....



A couple weeks later, the other flamingoes from before all came back! Now there was about 400 flamingoes on the island. When we were there it was Flamingo mating season, and when they feed them they put something like Viagra in the feed...Now you have hundreds of horny noisy flamingo's having sex all over the island! Had to laugh, and a great story whether true or not....


Another purchase was 4 Galapagos Turtles about 4 years ago. They are huge!


Although had to giggle as I think this one really wanted out of his corral, what do you think????


Just a couple pictures of some of the lovely woodwork...


This here is a gigantic slab of hardwood in the shape of a gecko. I believe last time I was on island it was up in the big house....


OK, time to get back to work!
