Haven't been around a lot but...

.... figured I'd make a thread sharing part of my weekend.... basically a copy of my MySpace Blog but whatever.


It's always good to go home and get to visit with my Mom but this time was a bit more fun because my friend Shawn "The Jeweler" came down with me. Great times, fantastic friends, good drinks, nice cigars, awesome time with family, etc. etc.


Here are some pics from when I was slacking around at the park at the Hillsboro Inlet waiting for Shawn to get back from Lobstering.

Taking a decent picture of yourself while smoking a cigar and actually caring about the background is quite the pain in the ass. The cigar was hand rolled by this local shop and wasn't worth the money at all but I figured it was worth a shot.

A random Palm tree next to the bench I was laying down on for a bit, hence the big up angle.

A big ass Sting Ray... I wish there was something to give it some size comparison. *insert bad Steve Irwin joke here*

A couple random boats on the way out of the inlet.

Shawn's boat finally returning.

If Shawn would have gotten to his phone a minute or 2 earlier this would have been the pic of him "grandstanding."

1 very overpriced Lobster... but it's better than none. :-)

Well that's it for now.

there's a lot of really nice pics in there man, it looks like you had a good time

thanks for sharing it :smiley20:

Real nice pictures, where was this at?

Sounds like you're having agreat time. Except for the hand rolled. Thanks for sharing the pics and continue having a blast.:smiley32: :smiley37:

well, you almost had all the ingredients.

* It was hand-rolled
* It was of the large ringed family
* But it was not imported
* Was not purchased over the internet.

Now you know, and knowing's half the battle.

The Hillsboro Inlet is about 1/2 way between Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach. The actual city it's in is Lighthouse Point, the 2 surrounding cities are Deerfield Beach and Pompano Beach.


Attached is an image from Google.com/maps


I'm glad I could share the pictures trying to keep better memories on what's been going on since time feels like it's flying by.

This coming weekend I'm taking Friday off, going to Busch Gardens, and chillin' with Guado and his wifey for the remainder of the time.
