The Trailer - Week Three - May 22-24

May 25, 2009 @ 22:42

Thanks to the shitty weather we've had this May, this was the first weekend we actually stayed at the trailer and it was productive.

I finished getting my lot in shape, and we decorated the Tiki Bar for another season. This year's most notable addition is a Blue Marlin that Dan Duran picked out of someone's garbage.

It looks like it's made of styrofoam but it's actually made of some kind of a plaster which makes it a lot heavier than you'd think. It's rather large, but it looks great.

Other than that, the Tiki Bar features the same multitude of lights hanging in basically the same places this year and although we put most of the other junk back up, there were several pieces that looked too weathered so the call has been put out for replacements.

If you're a fellow trailerite, you know the feel, so keep your eyes open for anything that will fit.

It was a gorgeous weekend, especially Sunday, so we wasted little time making our way down to the beach to play bocce. It was more or less spring training with most of the guys getting the feel for the ball and not really partaking in the usual immaturity of insulting each other through some creative trash talk.

The only real drawback to our bocce session was the goose shit. As I told you many times over the past few years, Canada Geese have invaded the Kawarthas and they're getting out of hand.

The beach was covered with crap which made me go into one of my anti-Canada goose rants. It was rather colourful and once again included my insistence that I would offer no mercy while strangling one of the shit machines with my bare hands.

There should really be a culling of the bastards with the meat used to feed the helpless, homeless and hungry. But of course, that makes too much sense.

Speaking of the homeless, Dan Duran almost lost his summer home.

Dans's trailer is rather aged and he arrived this year to discover the front end of the prick had pretty much rotted through to the frame.

Anybody else would have dragged it out the park and lit a match to the fucker, but not Dan.

Where others see work and aggravation, Dan Duran sees challenge and purpose. He literally gutted the thing and rebuilt it.

Have a look. I shot this video just before Dan took some goose off the barbeque.

Too bad Dan says he's not for hire.
He did a nice job.
I need my rec room re-done and would have have given him some work.

Is the booing of Sarah Palin on last night's 'Dancing With the Stars' improper? just do not like Sarah Palin, no need to shop for her publication. Just do not become her Facebook comrade. Definitely don't vote for her but you should have some manners, booing is actually so rude.

I do know. It is usually very tough to know the difference between the 2 of them. Both being U . s haters, hell bent on it’s deterioration. The 2 criticize The usa and Americans continuously. Here is a hint, Barack obama may possibly be the one definitely being successful in killing Usa.

Lindsay Lohan “If I were the alcoholic almost everyone says I am, then leaving a [scram[]|] bracelet on could have ended me up in detoxification, inside of the emergency room, because I'd had to come down from all the things that people say I am taking in addition to my dad proclaims I’m taking – so that says something, considering I had been fine.”

Good luck getting people behind this one. Though you make some VERY fascinating points, youre going to have to do more than bring up a few things that may be different than what weve already heard. What are trying to say here? What do you want us to think? It seems like you cant really get behind a unique thought. Anyway, thats just my opinion.

I have been looking for many sites to learn more and this post catches my attention. Good thing that I come across your website that tells people what they want to know.

Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your thoughts? I mean, what you say is important and everything. But its got no punch, no pop! Maybe if you added a pic or two, a video? You could have such a more powerful blog if you let people SEE what youre talking about instead of just reading it.
