Exactly! Hey, if Liver King can do it, so can I. Sure, our " supplements" are different....

I did notice that C Nile was at the “8 hour” dock for a while. It appeared to have a list to starboard, box wine overload being the suspect.:D

Keep in mind that both batteries, all the cabinetry, and stove/ heater are all on the starboard side, but you go ahead and believe whatever you want! [emoji6] ( there might be a little wine on that side too )

You guys kill me!:laugh::laugh:

I know from past years early and late season nobody seems to care if boats stay at Glendale overnight, but I wasn't sure when the ticketing started...better safe than sorry. I'll be spending enough money in Hilton Head, and wanted to avoid fines that double every night!

Holly deserves an ice c ream. Is Sawyer's open yet?

didn't appear to be any activity there.

Glad I didn't run into THIS floater!!!

With the general flow of water from the main lake through the Weirs Channel to the dam in Lakeport, I wonder how much debris ends up at the dam. I would think, especially in the spring, it would be a substantial amount.

This is the water level here!

I guess you won't be wearing your fuzzy slippers onto the dock to get into the boat.

Not for a little while anyway![emoji16]

Well the Tiki Hut boats are back in the water and ready to go! I'm pursuing my shortened work weeks at the dealership and have a meeting scheduled with my boss tomorrow to discuss my plan. I don't know about anyone else, but at this stage in my life, I look at obituaries. When I read that people younger than myself are dying of "natural causes", it scares the crap out of me. The stress of working the service desk is sucking the life out of me, but driving the tiki boats is fun and like a breath of fresh air, so the more I can do that, the better off I'll be. Wish me luck!![emoji16]

Good luck!!

Good Luck!
 

My son, daughter, and their cousin have their annual Tiki Boat ride booked for July 22! And I totally relate to your outlook. I've pretty much had it with Corporate America and just want to work for "fun" at this point....

Couldn't agree more! People ask me why I stay in my current school (I'm an administrator) rather than move on to bigger things - and more money. My job, and life are incredibly low stress and I enjoy going to work. Life is too short to suffer at work if you don't have to - I may make a few financial sacrifices, but the low stress and summers off (and at the lake) more than makes up for it.

Maybe my retirement career move is to drive Tiki boats - being out on the water with people who are there to have fun sounds awesome!

As I was loading the boat at Glendale early yesterday evening, I got a call from my island neighbor. He was frantic...he and his wife had been walking the trails on Mark doing some cleanup, and at the top of the hill noticed that a medium size bear was following them. He said they tried walking away, but the bear continued to follow. They made it to the southern point, but the bear kept coming...he started yelling at it, even fired up the chainsaw he was carrying to try to scare it away...nothing worked...the bear got closer and closer. With no place left to go and no room to escape, he called me to extract them from the point. We pulled into the channel and they came running out to one of the docks...his chainsaw still running and revving. We picked them up, and as we were heading through the channel spotted it. I don't know if it was just curious or aggressive, but it scared the crap out of them. Another C-Nile rescue mission in the books! [emoji6]

Wow, that's quite a story!

Good job Steve. Did the F & G remove the bear? Is there a second chapter here? 911 doesn't answer Mark Island? Guys like Steve make us all proud to be Islanders.

Awwww shucks... Neighbor called them, but I don't think bear extraction is something they do out here.

Be sure to keep an eye on your new pup.

This was obviously the "Cocaine Bear"! :eek: (a current dark comedy...actually stupid...movie)

Way to go Steve. Extraction possibly in the nick of time. Luckily the bear didn’t board the boat in hit pursuit.

At first it didn't seem like an emergency to me, but when I thought about it, his fear of bears is probably equal to my fear of Catholic school nuns. A quick extraction needed to happen!! [emoji16]

So I guess that means I can’t ask you to drop Connor at SMA tomorrow?

Ummmm...I would, but I have to be at work very early...yeah, that's it!

Is that the first bear you have ever seen on the island?

No, 2nd for me ( we had a little guy up in one of our trees last year), but many have spotted them, especially over the last couple of years. Chris from F&G came out yesterday and walked the island. He thinks either my neighbors got in between mom and her cubs, or it was just a curious teenager and didn't seem too concerned.

For some reason it always interested me to think that bear, deer, etc will swim out to an island. I wonder why they do? Do they smell something? Just decide to go for a swim?

i think if they have enough food, the don't leave. I know the same deer have been there for years!

That's probably true. But has the bear always been there?

I don't think so??? Very few sightings up til last year?

Shouldn't he be over on Bear Island?!?

By the way there is a place that just got listed on Mark yesterday......I'm trying to convince my wife that we need to part with 600k to buy it, but the bear sighting isn't going to help my cause hahaha! Nevermind, that I don't readily have 600k to drop on another house....

As I have my finger on the pulse of everything that goes on out here, I'm well aware. You can tell her that bear swim and maybe they won't be here for long. #54 is a nice place![emoji16]

The pictures on Realtor.com show very well. The bathroom door is a nice chuckle.

Stay away from Bear Island...Lots of bad luck going down over here! Mother nature hasn't been kind. Trees falling, fires, etc.

I don't think that Bear is stupid enough to come over.

Only if it's smarter than the average bear!
