Sorry to hear that you were never invited into the park-well other than do your parking. Being what it was the security gates were a great measure in keeping the boats safe-the watchful eyes of many neighbours was great.
Then again "Boat etiquette" Was paramount when walking to and from one's vessel-no looking left or right as one might view something that would rent space in the head.

Then again you parading around over at the beach in the banana hammock was a topic of conversation over many a tossed beers amount the boaters.

Oh, I never frequented the beaches down there Jim.
Back then, all I had to do was take my towel off and all the girls would start screaming and pointing at me in my leopard print ‘banana hammock’.

Good morning, I don’t understand invisible? I know you are but what am I?

Those bluff pics are neat, whomever that is and great write up, I’m so slow, I really enjoy reading and seeing and hearing about how everyone lives and plays.
I’ve been to Windsor Canada a few too many times in the past, brass poles, low budget movie stars, a dollar did go very far way back them either.
Have a great day!

I used to travel to Windsor every 2 – 3 months on business until July of this year.
I always found the river view of Detroit from hotel room at Caesars Windsor to be the best part of my trip.

Dbl posting to make up for your slowness, Fat? LOL JK

I have a story about them poles. Tell you how naive I am.

There was a young couple that had a real bad situation. He went one way and mr WD and I gave her and her babies a ride to her parent’s. This was to a trailer in a trailer park. Now I am not accustomed to the insides of these mobile homes. It was a stressful time and we were trying to get everyone settled. More than once I grabbed a hold of this pole that was right in the middle of everything, that I assumed was some sort of support beam. After we left, Mr WD asked, “Can you believe they have a stripper pole right at there front door?”
I replied, “That was a stripper pole?!?!”
He said,” Yeah and you touched it!”

Yuck yuck yuck!

I have one question WD?
How did your hubby know it was a ‘stripper pole’, maybe they just put it there to hang Christmas decorations from?

My wife and I spent Christmas in the Phoenix area with my Step-Daughter. Nice to get away to a warmer climate for a few days.
We thought she needed something by the pool and my wife found this sculpture. Now that's talent...carved out of Onyx.

Man, to carve something like that out of stone takes a lot of talent, what a beautiful piece.

Well I'm glad youz all grown up, and didn't act like an innocent little on and stuck to it like they do in the winter time.

Try to say yuck yuck yuck! with your tongue stuck to a brass pole.

Jim, Jim, Jim… don’t you know that everything sticks to a brass pole.
That’s why they’re always wiping it down between dances with those towels at the side of the stage… or so I’ve been told.

Every old tie around here use to have them. The North Platte spur to here use to turn around and go back. My great grandpa came here to build the depot. I live in house he built in 1913. I have all his stuff too. I still have the lease on the wye where train turned around. Someday when I get a MD I bet there’s a lot more there.

Every corral used to have RR ties and where ever they were hauled to you can find date nails.

Fat, your post made me think about a rail tie date nail that a friend gave me.
He found a bunch of these while detecting a railroad station site in British Columbia years ago, the one I have is dated ’42.

I can't tell you how pissed I am at the Discovery Network. They make me wait a full 1.5 years to see the end of a cliff hanger episode of Mountain Monsters, only for them to give me a teaser episode and them saying I have to pay to view the rest on Discovery+, a streaming "service". That's BS! You make me wait all that time, only to make me pay for it!? They are literally taking advantage of the fact that people are stuck at home with nothing to do but watch TV and are using that only to get money. Even if the money isn't that much, it's the point.

And then, when I try to complain about it, I am informed that I have to pay $5 for Discovery to even know that I posted a complaint, let alone see it!

I hear you Ethan, it definitely sounds like the big tv broadcast companies are taking advantage of folks being stuck at home.
Hearing something like this happening during a pandemic when everyone is stuck at home or out-of-work makes me sick!


I just love this song by George Strait, this song made me fall in love with his music.

Morning RR

 

[WannaDig3687]

Good morning, Antiquarian, Fat, Pete, Pepperj, rook and Rusty.

Whew, this is going to be challenging when you have to step away for a few.

Rusty, I hope you realize that I was just kidding about Peyton. I don’t know who or why , nor remember the screen names of the trolls.

 

[bill from lachine]

Good morning ARC, Dave,Fat, Jim, Pete, Rook, Rusty & WD.

 

[WannaDig3687]

I have one question WD?
How did your hubby know it was a ‘stripper pole’, maybe they just put it there to hang Christmas decorations from?

And there it is! That was the very next question I asked after My head stopped spinning and my gut stopped flipping.

 

[WannaDig3687]

Good morning,Bill.

 

[ANTIQUARIAN]

Morning WD, Bill, Pete, Rook and Ethan.


Jim, I've had one large cup of coffee so far.
At 9am I take the puppy for her morning walk, by 10am, I'm in the Tim Horton's drive-thru for my dark roast double-double.


For Fat... shown with a caboose toy I found at a railroad workers cabin site.
My mistake it's dated '41, been a few years since I looked at it.

 

[ANTIQUARIAN]

And there it is! That was the very next question I asked after My head stopped spinning and my gut stopped flipping.

So just how did he explain his way out of that situation WD?

 

[pepperj]

Dave, you in a hammock?-I remember it was one of the stories that was told when the daily get togethers on the docks and . I believe the end comment and agreement was "Some just don't have any pride"
You claimed you never went to the beach-Good choice-I think it was on the top 5 not to swim places in the GTA for fecal count, they used to blame on the high geese population.

Now you must of "READ/HEARD" about the wiping of the brass poles between sets. In my younger days I witnessed no such things, then again maybe it was the hotel/bars that I frequented.

 

[ANTIQUARIAN]

Hope you all have a good Tuesday bbl.

Jim, if I remember correctly the beach and water down there had a reputation for being very dirty.
My Dad used to take us there to skip stones in the early 70's when we were kids.
This was before the marina was built and the city did the large scale improvement to the water break walls.

Enjoy your day!

Just in time WD!

Though it's a comforting thought that the pirates of the ship will be defended.
