nice quiet tuesday

greetings, all, got just a few hours of sleep this morning after drinking and writing 'til whenever. the rev bounced on the bed at 10 in a great mood and we went off on the bike to have some breakfast. got to Mike's Galley down in the shores and he was closed. now this was quite a letdown as Mike is a truly great baker. his bread and other doughy concoctions are the top of the line here in daytona. if you get a chance to check his place out, do it. you won't be disappointed, he's in the captain's quarters, just a few blocks south of dunlawton. right on the beach and just 15 or 20 chairs, but, the grub is plentiful and excellent!! well, next we went up to the new new york bagel joint and they were closed, too. strike two. so the next place north was the cracked egg, "under new management". not bad, and the folks were really nice. herself wanted eggs benedict from the time we left the house so that's what she had, i ordered your basic biscuit sammich. couldn't eat a bite, i think i was still feeling the effects of the sailor!!
damn, why are we always out of rum? because i drink it. we stopped at the boothill saloon for a pbr and found a few folks from our own bar there. she had a couple of beers and found a free jagbomb cup in the tourpack, then my buddy, brian, the tree conservation guy(read, tree trimmer) showed up and the next thing we know another and then another friend came in. we had a few more drinks than we planned, but it was good to catch up with folks we only see every now and then.
then to the appliance part guys for parts to the dryer. got what we needed for 30 bucks and a smile, better than a new dryer!! by the way, i learned a few years back from a great friend of mine, mike rotton, that if it's already broken...taking it apart to see if you can figure out how to fix it costs nothing. so i've over-come my fear of taking broken stuff apart, and this time it payed off. later in the day i finished replacing the fuse and other relay gizmo and, viola! the dryer works again. 30 bucks is way better than a few hundred for a new one. on the way home, we tried to stop by DL's place but he wouldn't answer the gate, so we went over to the circus for a brew or two, then back home for a nap before the rev had to get to work. she got there safely, i came home and read some, watched a bit of tube finally ate my breakfast sammich. and nodded off after reading for a few minutes. the alarm went off at 125am and i went to the bar and as usual, it was a "full moon over the metz", just your usual gays and lesbians selebrating thier coming "sick" day and the odd tourist or two. so here we are relaxing at the pad and i thought i'd jot a few words. gonna ride to st aug tomorrow, maybe, and i'll fill you in on it after. have a great wednesday!
