I have been busting my rump for 9 days in a row and all I wanted was to go to the beach today. Even went to the store last night and bought a 12 pack of Yeungling (on sale at Publix, by the way:wave:). I can't remember the last cloudy day we have had...then I wake up today and there it is, a thick gray blanket of crappy clouds.:bang:Tomorrow's forecast is worse:pissed:Monday is supposed to be clear with a high of 81:breakcomp:

Just remember a cloudy day at Grayton is better than a sunny day at work. Something tells me after about two or three Yuenglings, the sun will come out :biggrin:

supposed to be up to 90F degrees today. You will still get burned through the clouds, though they provide nice shade. Enjoy the cloudy day, and remember that you are not at work.

I like the way you think! Does that make you a glass half empty optimist?:drink:

Not at all. I am an internal pessimist. Everyone thinks I am positive on the outside, but inside it all sucks. Just kidding, but I am a realist which tends toward less optimism :biggrin:

I have spoken to the crap Gods for you. They are now busy burning through the crap so you can enjoy your hard earned day at the beach. :wave: Enjoy and apply sunblock hourly. :biggrin:

wear your swimsuit and who cares if it rains, as long as the lightning stays away and your beer isn't getting watered down.

On a "slightly" serious note, what do you all think about the new spray sunblock. I like it because there is nothing worse than grinding sand and salt into my skin when I reapply. I am fair skinned so that reapplication is often. :biggrin:

:violin: Our traveling circus just walked down there and enjoyed ourselves immensely. Kurt and SJ are right! This is the life! (Though happiness with the current conditions may be directly proportional to how long you have to drive to get there.)

Easy fix, just put liquid sunblock into a spray bottle SoWalaaa! We have about a quart of sunblock in a pump up bug sprayer and we just hose em down on the way or at the beach. How many carbon credits do I get?:floor:

The Bible has a passage, thought to have been written by Solomon, in which he states that it is pointless to wait for perfect conditions.

No Cults here. Wait a minute, in Rome, for a while, it was illegal to be a Christian and you could be killed because it was one of those Cults.

It would be too hard to dig catacombs into the dunes, so you are safe here.

We are back! The sun was in and out. We had a great time knocking back a few, watching sandpipers fight and some folks catching fish. I went swimming even if the flag went from yellow to red while we were there:moon:
