The Shitty Fuck boat has been sailed....


I got off work last night at 7:00pm. On a whim mw and a friend decided to grab another buddy and go sailing in a boat like the ones you see in the picture. These are a two person boat at the most but you can fit three people in them so why not do it? Well I'll tell you why.

First off the boat the we where in was not set up fully and still had some snags here and there. Like a part we had to glue back on.... but didn't wait the 3 hours for the glue to dry, so we took in a lot of water....

We paddled out of the marina break water only to find out that our sail wouldn't go up all the way and that the rudder handle was over the main sail ropes at the back. We had to sail/remove the rudder at the same time while moving in and about millon dollar yacths. When we finally got that all fixed we had to tack and with two guys in the back there was no room for one to move so he jumped put and held onto the stern on the boat, letting in a tone of water.

At this point I was on balier duty and we where sailing!! Then these giant black clouds rolled in and the fog started to roll in as well. But we were pirates, and never gave up.

We sailed around for a bit, found out that the boat would vibrate when we went a certian way then called it a night. Put the boat back in its cart and got a victory beer!

I was a night well spent and one of the best time's I've had.
Happy days

So I Sit Here.....


So I sit here drinking ale and feeling like the Lord Roscoe i should be....

Three days ago I got an e-mail from a website I signed up for. I was a website on Low Impact Woodland home building (just google "Low impact woodland home"). I was on a work shop in wales done by the people who run the website. unfortunately i couldn't go but the e-mail still had a nice bit of info on some random things. Reading I got me to thinking, well, more like I started to look at my life style of the last few months or so.

My life style has been anything but "stable over the last three years, I assume it was all the "growing up" that goes on in that little while. Over the last few months however I've really been steady in my thoughts. Not to be confused with my ways, as they always change, that's just the fun in life! But I've been thinking the same for a while. Like having no doubts in my future at school or where and what i want to be doing in 4-5 years. I've even set my mind on my house.

I've even been thinking of strange things like "kids" (ah!) and in simple terms "marriage". Before I was always like "No!" but now I'm looking more forward to it. The thing that scares me though is the big "D" word that's flung around way too much now a days. I just want to be sure, so I'll play that one safe. (isn't it nice to express one's deep feelings over the Internet.... lolz).

I've the day off tomorrow so I'm going to make the most of it and I hope you all do to.
Later
Roscoe.

The was a boat..... A SHITTY FUCK BOAT!


Thursday was the day of sailing and boating and all the rest to do with the ocean and it's craft. I awoke to yet another giant truck going by the house, this whole noise thing in town is shit. After I cleaned up my room some I headed down the steps to start my humble morning routine. The sun was out and the birds where sining and I said "Shut Up!" Lol.

The weather had called for rain in the afternoon so I was debating going sailing or not while I sipped a cup of tea and read some history online. In the end, due to the sun, I decided to go and headed down to the yacht club.

The plan was to get out in one of the small boats first and then come in to get a race burger and go sailing in the race. However it was another last minute poorly conceived plan.... Getting the boat on the back of a truck from a friends house at the opposite end of town was an ordeal in it's self. It wasn't tied right so it feel off on the way down a busy street. We got it tied back up and made it to the club but then the other guy had to leave so it took me and my friend almost 45 mins to get this thing off the truck only to find out half way through setting up that we where missing peaces.

I had fun, maybe got a little frustrated but fun none the less. By the time it was half set up it was race time. Now here is where it gets good!

We had 25-30 mile an hour winds so when your sailing into the wind it makes it seem like your going to tip over. The water was smashing over the sides and there was a bit of a chop on so we hit some bigger waves. I had a great time.

It was also one of the few nights I got to stay on board with the guys and listen to them go on. After they where done we hit up the pizza place where i bought my first donair. Half of it's in the fridge, it's so fucking good! Gave me horrible heart burn, or something close to heart burn but it's worth it.

Tonight I got to work early and get to go on a motor Yacht for a staff party as far as I know. I have an odd feeling that i might have to play something... Maybe I'll just always eat and have an excuse not to. Lol.

SOLTICE! Song for the gods!


Happy Solstice, mid summer! How did all of you celebrate? I planted a garden and jammed out! i can feel the fairy's dancing around me! It's a great time of year; enjoy it!

I've tomorrow of but nothing to do. Awesome! I'm going to eat good food and make music all day! I might even paint my fucking room!

The garden went in great! I've the peas left to plant but I'm waiting to get some net for them. Aside form that I've got one tomato, 12 pepper plants (love my pepper, red and green) one garlic plant and 2 rows of bean seeds. I tried to get the hose rigged up but its really "old school" and the parts i bought were too new. But it's all good, a water can will do just fine.

I went to work today for the 3 hour shift that I have... It went by fast but I had an incident. this woman bought lawn fert and asked me what she should put her spreader on, and i said "Just open it and walk fast... She thought meant the bag and shouted at me :D The girl behind her laughed though. I got to meet a new dog today too.

Everything else has been simple over the week I`ll have adventures tomorrow though.

Dance wild (and naked!)
