The weekend

We arrived down at the boat by 4;30pm,,,,A private Wedding party was taking place at the club,,,We and 90% of the other members were not invited,,,And that was to the better,,we had the night to our selves!!,,,We Headed up the river to that nice restaurant we went to earlier in the week. Tons of boats out ....And close to our destination.. In the middle of the channel was a mother duck and 4 of her very TINY babies,,,thought that was strange, but figured she was just trying to get across. We got to the place and not many people were there,,,witch was surprising. Our waitress was great,,,so much more alive than the one we had for lunch earlier in the week. And not once did she mention the word "absolutely",,,(we were thinking being frequent restaurant goers that is the main word they teach you in waitress/waiter school) Our meal was terrific,,,service was great,,,atmosphere great!!! Highly recommend the "Blue Water Bistro" in Coxsackie,,,on Reed street!!,,After our meal we headed out for a evening cruise,,,we had a few hours to kill before the fireworks across the river from our club, I wanted a napp!!,,{J} wouldn't let me sleep..Trying to hit every bump in the river he could find. We went a couples miles south and there was that mother duckling with her babies still out in the channel. They were on a mission to go south by water,,,surprising they didn't get hit!!,,,We ran into a few friends on their boats anchored out to watch fire works from Athens,,,,And yadda with them,,and headed back to the dock.....The wedding party was still going on. There was this home made big house boat next to our dock. The boat was done really well. I was curious to peek in the windows,,,,{J} let me know how uncool that was,,,thank you very much. Soon the owner came,,,a Hotty,,,nice looking guy from Maine,,,He and his girlfriend were very friendly and didn't mind me coming on board and checking it out. It was so cool,,,it slept 6 comphy. And was furnished with old house parts. You can check it out on the web @ www.oldhouseparts.com He told me he designed it in his head when he was going throu a divorce,,,it took 6 months to build,,,and by the 4th month he had it in the water. Truley a great vessel,,,the stove in it was 1920's and workable,,,all of the fixings in it from windows to can openers were old and very cool. They were going to spend the night on the river and {J} and I at the dock. The fireworks were ok,,nothing great,,,we got to watch them and listen to the Wedding party band that part was cool. The Band's music was good but if they had a better singer it would have been great. We headed to bed at 11,,,I was ready at 8pm. {J} hates sleeping on the water,,,He did good till about 2am,,,then got restless,,,wich kept me up,,and not in the fun way. He decided to head home,,,I was staying put. He left and I fell back asleep and had nightmares---awoke at 4:15am,,,double checked all the windows. I heard so many weird creepy sounds,,,,A log would hit the boat,,,even thought I head the ducks and her babies coming bye.....I was praying for a early sunrise...fell back to sleep soon as light came,,,Awoke at 8 and walked home...{J} sleeping like a baby....Showered and shopped for the day,,,We then took the little boat out to our Island,,,when we were lying and soaking up the sun,,we saw the Oldhouseparts boat go by,,,Now home and vegging the night away,,,,Nautical Smiles and Happy Trails!!!
You may not know this but many nonliving things have a gender.
1) Ziploc Bags are Male, because they hold everything in, but you can see right through them.
2) Copiers are Female, because once turned off; it takes a while to warm them up again. It's an effective reproductive device if the right buttons are pushed, but can wreak havoc if the wrong buttons are pushed.
3) A Tire is Male, because it goes bald and it's often over-inflated.
4) A Hot Air Balloon is Male, because, to get it to go anywhere, you have to light a fire under it, and course, there's the hot air part.
5) Sponges are Female, because they're soft, squeezable and retain water.
6) A Web Page is Female, because it's always getting hit on.
7) A Subway is Male, because it uses the same old lines to pick people up
. 8) An Hourglass is Female, because over time, the weight shifts to the bottom.
9) A Hammer is Male, because it hasn't changed much over the last 5,000 years, but it's handy to have around.
10) A Remote Control is Female. Ha- Ha !!! You thought it'd be male, didn't you? But consider this - it gives a man pleasure, he'd be lost without it...And while he doesn't always know the right buttons to push he keeps trying!
