just a quick game of pass the sack, and some gallo grande
nothing gets a blog post up and running like one of these! really sort of commands attention doesn't it? anyhow...
it may be hot, but mornings have been cool and breezy, and afternoons are tolerable enjoyable with a well timed swim.
had a nice dip with friends at the north tip of red bud island. this space is usually not as crowded as the main part of the island. a slacker/bohemian/punk rock party was already in swing when we arrived. austin-rip van winkle seemed to be their spiritual leader, if a nihilist could have a spiritual leader... OK, he had a big sack of wine and this had them falling in line (he can be seen swimming with his wine sack above)
they would gather in the cool water, in a circle and pass the bag. always in an orderly clockwise manner. even an urban gutter-punk can follow rules.
only a few of them wore bathing suits. most swam in their underwear or street clothes. it's good to be free, urban underwear swim session fueled by a communal wine sack, officiated by rip van winkle just a byproduct of freedom.
TAKOBA
best restaurant we visited this week, takoba. the mango habanero margarita is interesting.
the two older kids were quite enthusiastic about this bacon, nopales and cheese taco.
the torta al pastor was fantastic and kat enjoyed the huevos rancheros.
brunch mimosas are just $7 per carafe! they had a childern's sand box to keep #2 son happy.
enjoyed another picnic at the long center, music provided by the woodwinds section.
it was windy!
another father's day passed without any thanks or recognition. half way through the non holiday I decided that instead of being "dadda" I should be called Hutch, and #2 son became Starsky. he played along and we both enjoyed being somebody new. he would say, "you HUH-tch, I SCAR-skee"
NO DEER ALLOWED:
the deer nearly wiped out our tomato crop last week. I purchased another fence section and welded up a gate to keep those big urban rats away from our fruit.
I made some good progress with the front section of the airstream this past week. I am rebuilding the bukhead cabinet and I painted the front fiberglass section bright white.
