**on-site Trip Report [[ Wednesday evening 12/18 ]]

Hi, you-all..!!..

question:::>> have you EVER been so happy AND contented that you can't talk .... you can't breath .... you can't explain your *condition* to any-bodys...??...

* whew *

that's how i'm feeling right NOW..!!..

being back on-island after 2-1/2 years absence is akin to waking up from a "..I'm in-foreign.." nightmare, to suddenly awaken to the "..real world.." reality.

here in Lucea and in-country NOTHING (of importance) has changed ----- NOT ONE cotton-picken' thing has changed. Tru-tru there's this & that that's gone, moved, died, gone-foreign, closed-down, but for the most-part all the same as i left it in Fall-2011.





oh
oh... before i continue:::

Weather:::>> 'tis GREAT..!!..
especially in the shade
'cause sun hot

today --- overcast-ed
rain tried (so far) to fall
but nothing come down

temperature::: Fantastic..!!..
perfect
what's the temp where you-all at right now...??..

lol
lol
lol
lol

opps..!!
forgive me for laughing
lol
lol

today,
i purchased a new pair of nice light-weight water boots. Cost::::>> Ja$1,359.96

got 'em from Ms.Trench's hardware store (formerly aka-Mr.Brown).

In old post i told you about Ms.Trench (and her shop)
i'll tell you some *new* stuff a a later posting.

ummmmmmmm
these water boots feel sooooooooooo nice pon mi feet, right now, as we *speak* .... WILL probably wear 'em all-the-time, from now until.

[[ continue-ing in a couple minutes
gotta go smoke a CravenA

oh oh oh
oooooooooooooh:::>> price-wise, these CravenA's MUCH cheaper than my-brand Winstons (in-foreign). So, I can *afford* to smoke more, na tru.

more about the cigarrets later

soon come back

You get black water boots.....?

[[ continue-ing ]]

I didn't pack nuff shoes for this trip.... would add too much weight to my bags.

so,

i pop-in to see the local shoe repair man.... he happy to see me.

Tommorow,
He'll have some second-hand shoes for me to look at & buy.

not nuff shoes problem:::>> SOLVED..!!..
