I forgot to mention the fine cuisine we dined on. Saturday night Sandy left my buddy Jim and I enough Popeye's fried chicken to keep us from starving ( I was wondering why the water was beading up on his chin ) and Sunday, the feast was on! Beef fillets, pork chops, ribeyes I think, grilled corn on the cob and boiled crabs. Everything was awesome!

Well, I'm back at home. After I posted last night, I hit Intellicast and saw what was to come. So I hit the sack and woke at 6am. I cooked some breakfast for everyone and began my cleaning ritual. Before I knew it, it was 7:30 and everyone was up. I hated leaving the place the way it was, but I could see it was time to get out of Dodge. I had planned to spend the whole day cleaning up and putting trim up in the bedroom. I put everything up and battoned down as much as possible in case the storm turns our way.
Thanks again to Blake for the loan of the "Ace in the Shoal". It's going to be tough to go back to only 60 horses.Leave a comment:

I had time and whiskey... too much of both last night! I had a blast though. Sorry for ragging on you last night buddy. It was all in good fun though and congrats on earning your Texan Card! It was a good time and Tres and Jennifer are great folks to hang out with.

You may want to tie everything down before you leave. Tides are forecasted to be 3-4' above normal because of the tropical storm that just formed in the Gulf.Leave a comment:

Oh MAN! What a coupla days out here. I haven't had to shake my fists at many people. They just haven't been comin' up the Bayou much. The tide has been unusually high, and the fishing has been particularly pathetic. Of 7 people the last 2 days, only one keeper trout has been caught. Crabs on the other hand are quite plentiful. Saturday VJER and Dean showed early and fished most of the day. They got nothing for their efforts but an empty live bait well. Blake and his neighbor Jim showed in the afternoon and Tres and Jennifer made it out sans Courtney in the evening. We had the lights out last night, but it was completely fruitless. Most of us crashed early, enjoying electricity like crazy.
This morning Tres cooked bacon and pancakes for everyone. I went to work on finishing out the trim in the Cave with Blake's help. Tres, Jen, and Jim tried their best to catch something, but nada. Blake and I got the room as finished as we can until we get the last few panels from TMO. I'm actually sitting in the Cave now, enjoying some A/C while everyone else is crashed in the bedroom. This place is really comin' along. It really brings back a lot of memories of rebuilding this room . . . . . .
Oh Willie, Blake was in rare form this evening, but I wouldn't call anything he did funny. Given some time it may turn that way. I've got to get over the sheer terror though. Film at 11.
Tonight we had a feast they would have been jealous of in La. Boiled crabs, taters, onions, elephant garlic, grilled ribeyes, fillet mignon, grilled corn, and beef ribs. Blake gave me hell on my cooking methods, but changed his tune as he ate. He says I earned my Texas card tonight. Does that mean I'm a naturalized citizen? Tres played a 12-13 song set after dinner and we all enjoyed it immensely as usual.
Blake and Jim are leaving in the early AM, with Tres and Jen not far behind. I'll stay as long as I can to squeeze the very last bit of the last official day of Summer. I reckon I'll leave around sunset if I can wait that long with the odd weather we've been having. Hard east wind today some showers, but nothing terrible.
My only regret is that this weekend is almost over.Leave a comment:

I'd sure like to make it out there Sandy but my "honey do" list this weekend is pretty long. Trying to get it taking care of so I can head back down to POC on Tuesday for the rest of the week. Ya'll have fun. Take pic's if Blake does anything funny.

What a gorgeous night out here! Only the slightest of breezes, but still I feel cool. No generator noise for me tonight.
Blake's Shoalwater did a good deed tonight. I pulled in a guy from the Bird Island area. Hilarious story. I think I've got to tell it in person though. There's no way y'all would believe the absent mindedmess. Ah, ok, I'll tell it.
I launched the boat around 9:15 tonight, taking plenty of time with everything. When you're running a fine borrowed boat like this, you don't want to be in a hurry. I got out of the old KOA and I was about half way to Titlum, just idling as I usually do at night. I looked to my right and I saw a blinking light. I fixed my gaze at it and it was intermittent. I finally made out the imperfect Morse code SOS signal. I hit the gas just enough to get on plane, using the Q-beam to make sure I was good. When I got close to the boat, it was Blue Wave and the fellow was alone. I pulled up to him and he says, "Man, thank God you came over here. I've been trying to hail people since sundown." So I asked what the problem was. He responds, "Aw, my battery died, so I've been running my trolling motor for over an hour and a half. It's just about dead now and I knew I couldn't make it in." I immediately made a mental connection, but I reckoned he couldn't be that drunk, so we tied some ropes together to get ready to tow. I was still aside him when I said, "Sir, do you mind me askin' a question?" He responded in the affirmative. So I said, "Well you're battery died from running your radio right?" He said, "Yep." So I asked the inevitable question, expecting an elaborate answer. "Sir, you said you've been running your trolling motor the last hour and a half, right?" Again he said yep. So I asked, "How come you didn't put your trolling motor battery on your outboard to get it started?"
Well, you ever see someone realize they just made the amazing discovery that they made the most boneheaded mistake they could imagine? He opened his mouth several times, blankly staring at me. But nothing was forthcoming. He finally took his hat off and said, "SonofaB&*^%$! I am a fu&^*& DUMB-^&*^*" I told him not to worry about it, there isn't a person out here who hasn't forgotten his plug or pulled a moron moment. He was by now profusely cussing himself. So I towed him in and all ended well. I told him about FWE, so Rick, if you make it here, we've all been there Bro. Just pay it forward if you ever see someone needing a hand. For the record y'all, he hadn't been drinkin'. If he does land here, don't give him too much trouble.
Time to clean out the Cave for the guests tomorrow. VJER and Dean are arriving in the AM. Tres, Jen, and Courtney in the PM, along with Funk Shoal Brutha and his buddy. We're full up for sleepin', but if any of y'all are brave enough to stomach the yahoos out here, come on by. Give me a call ahead of time and I'll have boiled crabs for ya. - SandyLeave a comment:
