Elwood meeting the neighbors dogs...

On another boat just across from us, there's a black German Shepard and I think by the way he stares at Elwood, he thinks Elwood's a rabbit....not good!

A year round marina resident gave us a light to use to keep those carp from banging on our boat during the night.

And it works...Joell and I had a nice quiet nights sleep, but once the sun comes up their back at it.

West Marine Folding Bikes

Just a note on the two folding bicycles we purchased from West Marine... (brand new Feb. 2016) After two flats I removed the tube and tire to find the heads of the spokes inside the rim all chewed up, like a power tool was used on them.... after grinding them down with a dremel tool to remove the sharp edges and purchasing a new liner and tube I thought all my troubles were over....

The next day while riding into Rogersville, a mile from Joe Wheeler Park, I noticed a shifting problem, stopped, made a minor adjustment and starting riding again... something just didn't feel right and after disembarking from the bike again I found that all but one of the ball bearings had fallen out of the rear wheel axle..  Anyway, once we get to Mobile, Al and a West Marine store, both of these bikes are going back...
