Fun times with Joe & Jr. from NJ in Marathon

Wayne worked on changing the oil and filters,( every 100 hours), also a pencil zinc and impeller. So, Chuck, dinghied over and picked me up, and took Kathy and I, Jazzy & Sailor to shore. We walked the dogs and checked out the ball fields, but, the dogs were not allowed, only on the walk way. We tried to walk down the sidewalk on US1, but Sailor put his brakes on. I picked him up, but being 12 pounds gets heavy to carry. We turned around and I put him down. That's what he wanted, he wanted to go back and walked all the way. We looked for a tennis ball, but no luck. We then went into the basket ball/roller blade enclosed park and let them play off the leash. No one was around to tell us no.

What a handsome dude

After about 2 hours of playing with the dogs, Kathy called Chuck for a dinghy pickup. Wayne had already dinghied over to pick up Joe McConnell and son Jr. friends from NJ on Comfortably Numb. They are down here in Grassy Key for fishing. Anyway, everyone jumped on Bum's Rest to catch up on new news.


Sailor really doesn't know Joe Jr. but, jumped right on his lap and got comfy.

Kathy took the picture, wish she was in it.

Around 5pm we all went to the Keys
 Fisheries Sunset bar for $1 stone claw crabs. Only can get them from 5-7pm Happy Hour at the bar, otherwise they cost more downstairs at the restaurant.  I tell you what, the bar was full when we got there at 5:15pm and had to wait for seats. Kathy and I were the only ones to sit. We each ordered a dozen claws to start. Chuck and Wayne only ate a few and the guys wanted to go down to eat at the restaurant. We said, go ahead, we'll stay here and ordered another dozen claws each. They were so sweet and packed with meat. That was our dinner.

We are "SO" enjoying this.

After Kathy and I were done, we rejoined the guys. They were finishing up and I went to get some ice cream and coffee. Wayne convineced Joe Jr. that he likes chocolate mint ice cream with his beer. We really had a great time tonight and alot of laughs. Maybe we can meet up with them again before they leave for NJ.
