A Day at the BEACH

20:40 hrs.
05 July 14

     It was an early morning.
    
     Really early, when I headed out off to work. There was a method to my madness. If I put my in hours earlier then I can finish earlier and this was important as there were guests coming from Central Canada to our WAYWARD INN. Being up and on the road so early meant that I was able to see a pretty amazing sight out on Hamm Road. Brand new baby bison calves. Quite a cute sight. If you have chance to drive out and take a look.

 

 

     With me gone to work the task of logistics fell onto my BETTER HALF. After breakfast it was off to Costco then drop Son #2 off (to get his butt kicked at karate) before meeting our guests at the airport. By the time the company and their luggage was deposited back at home Son #1 had to be dropped off at Ivan's (to place a butt imprint on the couch) before swinging back to retrieve Son #2. And this was all done by noon today. IMPRESSIVE.

 

     After all the running around was done and all parties, including yours truly, had collected back at the WAYWARD INN it was time for a light lunch and a sampling of a fine single malt. JURA is an Islay scotch that my BETTER HALF gave to me as a surprise present today. It was recommended by a co-worker, a  real STAND UP GUY, who also appreciates the finer things in life. Thanks. I'll save a dram to share with you.

 

 

     Later, it was off to the BEACH. One of the true pleasures of living here in the VALLEY is the ability to have WEENIES ON THE BEACH. Of course you used be able to have a campfire at GOOSE SPIT any time of the year until some Money Bags Shit Disturbed, who just happened to live in his Aerie high above the SPIT, had forwarded the notion that beach fires were bad for you and the smoke polluted the air around his house. To that individual I say this "Close you damn windows Dick Head! One of Top Ten Reasons to Live in the Comox Valley is the ability to have a weenie roast on the beach in February while thumbing our collective noses at everyone in Canada who has snow on the ground. But, Oh No. The squeaky wheel almost got away with it. At the last minute the CVRD recanted the entire beach fire closure by allowing fires only from MAY to SEPTEMBER and at a reduced number of sites. Thanks for sticking up for the quality of life.

 

 

          The main point is we, my BETTER HALF and the COUCH MONKEYS really enjoy entertaining those who come to visit us at the WAYWARD INN. Its amazing how we can show PEOPLE FROM THE BIG CITY that you can live outside the RAT RACE and still survive.
