Here on Gilligan's Isle

This is one of the several boats out here at the junkyard. John, the drunk who at the moment is in detox, rode out Hurricane Charlie inside it. He said it moved about, but he considered it strong enough to protect him. I guess it would make a good hiding place also if needed, LOL.
As I had just taken the picture, this helicopter flew over low. Coming to rescue me?

Guess not as it flew on by. Actually we are familiar with the helicopter as it flies over morning & afternoon. It is owned by a rancher less than a mile away. This rancher also has an airplane, but parks it at Sebring airport, about 20 miles from here. I grew up on a farm & never herded cattle with a helicopter. I understand this rancher has lots of acres & spread all around.
We had 2 storms come through here yesterday with probably about 2" of rain, but the 2nd one, WHEN I WASN'T HOME & HAD LEFT THE WINDOWS OPEN!!!, tore my canvass awning off. I thought maybe I'd just get some new canvass, but I see it bent the aluminum arms, so guess I'll just sell the aluminum off of it.
The weather is very Nice here today in the upper 70's. Have a good day. Ron
