 giant-barrel-sponge-and-diver Good evening once again everyone. Here’s another fun shot from 100 feet below the surface! This is yet another amazing Giant Barrel Sponge we found the other day on our deep dive out in front of the Sea Aquarium. This is my model Candy again who not only went along for the ride she ended up getting put to work as well, if you can call holding a flashlight work that is?? After finding all these new beautiful sponges I am now on-fire to explore more and see what else we can find? After shooting this at 100 feet I looked down the slope further and I think there may be another but twice this size or bigger at 135-140 feet, any volunteers to go with me and check?? This giant sponge also had the most insane texture on the outside that I have ever seen, it was like hundreds of sponge spikes, really, really cool!
My day today started out with taking the dogs out on our trails by the house and doing some good o’l fashioned trail work. I swept and raked while the girls hid in the shade, this was one of our first really hot days! I pretty much spent the rest of the day at home working on the computer and sitting in the air-co it was way better than being outside. We are currently in need of a air filter for our car and today even though I was told not to, I tried to wash the one we have. I used hot water and soap and did get it a little cleaner but now see why they told me you can’t wash them, it kind of started to fall apart. The filter can only be bought in Holland making it very difficult for us to get parts for this thing.
At 5:00 against my better judgment I took off on my bike and headed to Saint Joris. I fought the worst wind ever the whole way there, it was awful! In fact at one point I heard a noise behind me and looked over my shoulder and was being drafted by a local kid on a homemade piece of junk BMX bike!? That’s one of those little one speed bikes that the kids all ride. I thought to myself, “this is embarrassing” I’m on a $2500.00 mountain bike and I’m getting my butt kicked by some kid on a kids bike? What kind of nightmare is this? I then increased my speed thinking he would now fall off the back and be gone! No such luck, not only did this young kid match my speed he passed me going up a long hill into the wind?? As he passed I said “good job my friend” huffing and puffing of course, he just looked at me and smiled and put the pedal to the pavement. At the top of the hill he turned off, lucky he did or I would have had to teach him a real lesson!! Not! I swear am I just getting old, am I that out of shape or was I riding on two flat tires, I’m gonna say all three!
That’s it for my adventures today, see you tomorrow, Barry
