MuzikTyme Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Isn't it wonderful to feel warmth from people you've never even sat down with? You, my friend, are one that always has a seat waiting . . . candles and all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 A fellow dive companion of mine with a closet-load more cash than I'll ever have called me tonight and gave me a one-of-a-kind birthday gift. A spot on a charter to find the wreck of the Hydrus, a ship lost in the Black Friday storm of 1913 and never found. The Canadian Navy has agreed to lend the expedition side-scan sonar. Second weekend in September and I am positively cranked. Ken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Ah in these waters it isn't the barnacles, it's the G.D. zebra mussels. A gift to us from ocean-going vessels dumping water-ballast in the Great Lakes. They cover every square inch of any wreck I've ever been on covering up fine detail. They are only as big as a thumbnail but there are trillions of them. They seem to not like brass for some reason. You get inside an engine room of a wreck and everything is clotted with them then you see these huge brass fittings gleaming like they day they were cast. Many a diver has brought down a paint scraper to remove the things from the name of a wreck. this is a single one, this is what a shopping cart looks like covered with them.. You can see what I mean... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawna Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Why not? We can celebrate Ken's birthday right up until my birthday, unless someone else's falls in between. That means I have an excuse every day to eat cake with that really thick sweet buttercream frosting I love. Corner piece, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Lea, I will be taking loads of photos... A former co-worker of mine died today, so yeah, every day above the grass is a reason for celebrating I guess. I'd pass away a happy guy after partying with my Songfacts family at Jimmy's Margaritaville... This place at times reminds me of Jimmy's song "Coconut Telegraph" Tuesday on the island Not much goin' on The parties are all over They ended just past dawn But the jungle drums are beating With the tales from late last night Cause the stories bear repeating For everyones delight Chorus You can hear it on the coconut telegraph Can't keep nothin' under their hat You can hear 'em on the coconut telegraph Sayin' who did dis and dat Dis and dat dis and dat Now I'm not one to deal in gossip But was he that big of fool? To do a belly buster high dive And miss the entire pool? Now what's the word on sweet Melissa? And the kid nobody knew Did Ricardo ever find her? I swear it's just between me and you Chorus You can hear it on the coconut telegraph By now everybody knows You can hear it on the coconut telegraph Just who comes and goes Comes and goes comes and goes It's humpday on the island And the lines have all gone dead All the juicy news is history I guess everything's been said But when the eagle flies on Friday And the boys break out the rum Then the joint begins to jumpin' And you'll hear those hot lines hum Chorus Put it on the coconut telegraph All the celebration and the stress Put it on the coconut telegraph In tewnty-five words or less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
