Wet Weekend!

This weekend was quite a washout here on the Gulf Coast. Saturday alone the Pensacola area received over 13 inches of rain. Many roads were flooded and some neighborhoods were cut off. We are lucky with the sand here so once the rain stopped it did not take too long to run off but it was a big mess while it was happening. Sunday the storms continued but not as strong. I guess we needed the rain but enough is enough.

Actually the rain started on Thursday. Sunshine Cindy and I were heading to Fort Walton Beach with the top down in BadAss when it started to drizzle. We could see the rain falling ahead of us so I pulled over and got the top up. It was just in the nick of time. We went to Anglers for some food and to ride out the storm. Justin was behind the bar and even with the rain, they were busy. We left Anglers and headed over to KC’s Sandbar. They do karaoke on Thursdays. There was a good crowd and things were drying up nicely. Rose, KC and Megan were all working to take care of everyone. Mike stopped by and gave me a contract to give to the ECPHC for a phlocking that is coming up. It was a fun time there as usual.

Friday was an afternoon lunch outing at TGIF. Pam and her girlfriends were meeting there. Sunshine Cindy joined them and I did too. I was the token male! lol Friday evening was a parrothead night. We started at Crab Island Cantina and rode out another rain storm. We then went up to Harry T’s where the meeting was being held at. We ended up with a good crowd of folks. Harry T’s gave out some great chips and dips. The highlight of the evening was Sunshine Cindy winning the $50 raffle. That helped take care of the bar tab!

We finished up the evening at Tipsy Turtle. There were about 7 or 8 of us show up there. A perfect way to end the evening with Matt and Mindy playing and tons of tourist walking along the boardwalk. As I previously mentioned, it was a washout Saturday and Sunday. We ended getting a lot of things done around the house and on the computer. I guess we can’t be playing all the time! Have a great week. See ya Thursday!
