Buon Mercoledi!  Hump Day! How are you doing? It is a nice, clear morning here in Tucson. Any plans for today?

The coffee is a good Colombian Blend, and a second cup will be enjoyed later this morning. Alexa is awake and she reminded me that "Chris" the iRobot will be coming out to clean the main house carpet. I asked her to play some "Down Home Blues" for me today.

My playmate will be heading for "Himmel Park" this morning for her Tai Chi class. After that she will hit up the pool.

She will also be attending her "Writing Class" this afternoon.

We enjoyed a wonderful evening at my girlfriend Shoo Shoo's home last night. It was an evening of "Rumi Kube". Our host prepared a fantastic St. Paddy's Day dinner that was outstanding. While we were there, we got her printer back online for her.

Well, nobody got spanked last night, smile! Hey, I won the first round of "Rumi Kube" (Bam). We all won games and the (cat) won a game as well.

Our host prepared some ice cream and cake for dessert that was very good.

The secret weapon was deployed, and it worked it magic on our host. Thank you Shoo for a very nice evening of good food, fun, and love, but I was looking forward to spanking somebody, smile!

This evening we will be visiting Dena and Bucky for a "Wizard Fest".

Here is what happened on 23 Feb on our cruise. Enjoy!

THE JADE GOING THROUGH THE LOCKS

CHA CHING!

We started our day off at 7:30am. We watched the Jade travel through the "Pacific Locks". Now we are in a huge lake, and we are heading for the locks on the "Caribbean Side". It is very slow going, but it was fantastic watching the locks open and close. The movement was like watching a (sloth) move.

Today is a sea day. We are heading for "Cartagena, Colombia". We relaxed for most of the day. Another great day on the Jade. 

Well, I had better get this day moving along. Have a good Humper. Stay safe and I will chat at you later.

Today's challenge word is (coltello). I had a terrible dream the night before that involved a (coltello). Do you every have a disturbing dream fidanzata?

Ciao...Jessie and Elise  

Buon Pomeriggio!

Buon Pomeriggio!

Hey, what is going on around your way?

I just got back from running my errands; to include a visit out on the airbase to gas up the "Bellezza Nera" and I did a little Chef Day shopping at the commissary while I was there.

My shorty is out getting her froyo fix. After that she will be attending her weekly (bridge) game.

In a bit I am going to work on my latest rock creation.

My girlfriend Shoo Shoo, informed me that we will not be celebrating Lori's birthday today, because Bert is under the weather. We wish him a better day to come.

We will visit Shoo Shoo this evening to play some Rumi Kube. I will have a look at her printer while we are there. I will also bring along the secret weapon to seal my victory tonight. Hint for you Shoo, a spanking is heading your way, smile!

We hope that your St. Patty's Day is going well. Stay safe and I will have a chinwag at you later.

Breakfast on 16 Mar at "Bread and Butter".

Buon Martedi! Taco Tuesday! (il giorno di San Patrizio).  How are you doing? It is a nice, sunny morning here in Tucson. Any plans for today?

The coffee is a good robust French Roast Blend, and a second cup will be enjoyed later this morning. Alexa is awake and she said that I have an errand to run this morning. I asked her to play some "Funk Jazz" for me today.

I hit the sheets early last night because I wasn't feeling that well. More tired than anything. I over did it yesterday with resetting the Dew Drop Inns and recleaning the guesthouse.

We are going to visit my girlfriend Shoo Shoo's home this evening to share Lori's birthday.

Here is what happened on 22 Feb on our cruise. Enjoy!

We got up and we went to the "Garden Cafe" for breakfast.

After breakfast we met up in the "Bliss Theater" for our tour to the Panama Canal by ferry.

We left the ship at around 8:45am. We boarded a tour bus which drove us to the pier where we boarded a ferry which held 245 people. We got decent seats under an awning; some people were in the sun all day. It was a hot and humid trip, but very interesting. 

Before we boarded the ferry we drove through several points of interest.

The ferry left and at that point we went through 3 different locks. It was tedious, because we had to wait each time for a huge shipping container ship that held 5000 cars. It was huge. 

It went through each lock with us, so we had to wait while until it ponderously made its way into each compartment. 

It is quite interesting to see the mechanical mules pull the big container through the gate. The mules also kept the ship centered in the canal, so it would not bang against the sides of the canal walls. It was only about 12 to 24 inches between the ship and the canal walls.

So, it took around 6 hours to go through the three locks. They served us lunch on the ferry and provided sodas and water. Beer was available for purchase if you wanted it.

It was an experience of a lifetime. We are awed at the people who conceived and planned and built the canals.

We returned to the Jade. We were tired and hungry. So, we went to "Alistar" a fancy restaurant on the Jade. The food was delicious.

We called it game over for the day. Another good day on the Jade. The Jade will be going through the locks tomorrow.
