Continued....An Absolute Daisy of a Day...

"Get down from There!!", I think is where I left off.....my computer was glitching quite a bit....I apologise. The Cubs, including the their new friend had a Grand time.

It is not allowed to climb up in the underbelly of the Ventura Pier. Damm Bear, newcomer and all.....well that was his excuse....Bigger had to risk life and limb to climb up about twenty feet and extricate the little troublemaker from the superstructure.




And then the day continued.....we built some shelters from the wind in classic lean to fashion, on the beach, using driftwood and bamboo....(where the heck does the bamboo that litters the beach come from?)....Bear did his best to help, lashing the bamboo verticals to the crossmember while Bigger installed the strucural members and Lil' Wolfie chased seagulls.......



We went up to and on the Pier, and trekked slowly out to the end, stopping and reading and discussing every "tourist" post......Lil' Wolfie visiting with all the fishermen and women, sporters and homeless alike, making friends as we went. Somehow, we picked up a stray dog that followed us for a while, Bear, not being used to the exertion, must have seemed dehydrated to Lil'Wolfie.......Sorry, can't help myself with this silly phone.....



We all decided to get a bite to eat at the restaurant on the Pier, and thoroughly enjoyed a light meal of shrimp, shrimp, some french fries and ...shrimp. Deliscious, though Lil' Wolfie ate mostly french fries......

Then we hiked back to the truck, chased each other through the beach brush, had one or two three way bamboo ninja sword death matches, ....the only deaths were the poor bamboo swords.....and headed out to "Main Street".

To shop.

No, don't be concerned, I haven't given up and become Ghe......That would be as bad as seeing Christopher Walken in drag...eeeuuckkk....we did Man Shopping.

The kind their blessed mother would not be able to tolerate for more than thirty seconds.....we went to "Battlefield Adventures"....an eclectic mix of Military Surplus, Gun Shop, Toy store and Paint Gun place.....we had a ball.

Bigger got a .25cal Beretta replica airsoft gun that matches my real ankler, and Lil' got a pile of new USMC and Army stickers and a Recon Mask for going to the snow.....way goofy stuff. I got a new "Peace Through Superior Firepower" tee-shirt..and we just laughed our butts off the whole time.

We meandered down Main Street for an hour or so, visiting all the cool Manly looking thrift and antique stores.......I just loved it. They have never been so involved. Questions, answers, truths, lies......Heck, the bear claimed that the University of Miami was the greatest football program in the country.

Bigger nodded, but Lil' Wolfie would have Nothing of it. He doesn't know his football, but at least Lil' is a die hard fan...."Bear Down!!", he yelled.

Bear hushed. I got Lil' Wolfie's joke. Bear didn't, you probably don't, but by gosh, I did.....and that's all that counts.

(Hint....Arizona fight song....duh)

So...we finally ended up back at Walkabout around sundown, watched a beautiful sunset, picked up one of Bigger's buddies....even longer hair than his, Leonidas!...and hung out and ate ice cream and watched movies and shot the shi-ite and......

It was an absolute Daisy of a Day.....

I need a vacation. I'm going in 13 days....any suggestions on where I should end up?
Heh......has anybody seen the cat? Heck, has anybody seen the friggin' bag?

Good night.
I have the banana split ice cream again......mmmmm
