MorganClark Posted July 22, 2021 #1051 Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) After getting "beat up" and tossed around in that speed boat yesterday, I took it easy and just "chilled" last evening/night. I didn't even drink (except for 1 glass of wine at dinner). I know, shocking right? I gave my liver the night off. I took a stroll down the Royal Promenade. Stopped off at Ben & Jerry's for a cup of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream; To eat my ice cream, I sat behind and right next to this classic car in Cafe Promenade; While on the Royal Promenade, I stopped in at the RCI logo store and bought this to start sporting on deck;; When I got back to my "home away from home", I found this fella waiting for me on my bed with those "bedroom eyes". Any guesses?; Edited July 22, 2021 by MorganClark 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an awesome song and one of my all time favorites because I'm a Great Lakes "ship guy". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any guesses?; My guess is some type of seal/walrus/sea lion. We don't have those fellas on the East Coast, so if any of the above answers are in the ballpark I call it a win.

Yeah, wrt the fella (towel animal) on my bed last night, to be perfectly honest, I'm not 100 % sure what it is either, lol. I bet @HBCcruiserknows. But, I think I have an idea of what it is. I think the head is a bit small to be a seal/walrus/sea lion and also, (* hint) it appears to have a beak. Guess again. That's an awesome t-shirt and would make for an awesome cruising t-shirt. Will you buy one for me as a present? It would be like one small fury animal giving another small fury animal a piece of cheese. 😉 Edited July 22, 2021 by MorganClark 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly a great ballad I'm comfortable in my masculinity to admit that that Ballard actually brings a tear(s) to my eye when I listen to it. Btw - I visited the Great Lakes shipwreck museum in the U.P. (Michigan) and saw the actual ship's bell that was brought up by divers off the Edmund Fitzgerald in Lake Superior. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorganClark Posted July 22, 2021 #1061 Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) Good morning! Stepped out onto my balcony thus morning and thus is what it looked like; It's going to be a gorgeous day! Seas are calm ( no ship movement at all. Feels like I'm in a hotel on land!). I feel some pool action coming on today (rocking AC/DC).

I never bothered spending more for the JD version to see if it was better. I just did a Google search to verify the sugar content. Assuming that you can trust the internet, Fireball has 11g of sugar per shot, and Jack Fire has 8g. Better, but still not good. I'll stick with my bourbon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can come back into the U.S. again and don't have to move to Nassau, Bahamas. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
