The weather over the past two weeks has improved a bit. We've been able to enjoy the beach and soak up some sunshine. It will be short-lived so we need to take advantage of it while it lasts.
We met a few of our neighbors and have visited a couple of the local gathering spots. We're looking forward to taking part in some of local extra-curricular activities, Belt Sander Races and Chicken-Shit Bingo! They're held at a local pub on weekends and are said to have quite a following. Should be fun and good for a laugh.
The Belt-Sander races are held in the back parking lot. Sanders are raced side-by-side down wooden tracks about 30 feet in length (reminiscent of slot-car tracks, only bigger.) The sanders have names and are decorated to resemble sharks, racecars, outhouses, etc. They even have a PA system to announce the winners, no prize money - just braggin' rights.
The Bingo game should be a hoot - or at least a cackle anyway. The games are held on Sunday afternoon, weather permiting. I wonder how long it takes to finish a game? I guess it depends on how much the chicken has had to eat that day.....
The weather turned cold so the games have been postponed. I guess we'll hold out for the weather to improve (we've done that before.)
Will take photos and post when we get a chance to see the action!
