Panama City day two.

Up early this morning.  Don't know what it is, but I have not slept late in over 18 months.  Too much living to do, I guess.
 
Had a visitor from the timeshare folks, his name was "Ace Crank"  Korean momma, and Scottish Daddy and talked like he was from Texas.  Came to see how we liked the place, asking for feedback and all that.  Noticed that this unit didn't have stainless steel appliances in the kitchen.  Kiddingly, he said we should ask for a room exchange.  That was funny, because we did ask for an upgrade from a 1 br deluxe to a 2 br, but no deal. He did come bearing gifts. Brought us these two mugs,Photo: Resort freebies.  Nice! some drink coupons and priority seating pass at Margaritaville!  He noticed my Margarita machine and chuckled, "Guess you don't need these seating passes with that bad boy"!  Cool dude, supposed to arrange for us to get a muffin pan and a meat thermometer (forgot mine, for the turkey!
 
 
Got the chicken salad made (chicken, walnuts, green grapes,  and enough mayo to pull it together) two batches of ziparita's (these are margaritas stored in Ziploc bags) in the freezer, and some sausage balls in the oven for an afternoon snack.
 
No sooner do we get to the beach, and we have our first speedo sighting!

This dude later came walking back by in a t-shirt and wearing a lime green fanny pack to one side of the speedo.  The whole beach had noticed and everybody started throwing out one liners.  The guy next to me said "that yeller flag on that pole over there is the "speedo alert system"!
 
To the other side of us, we had a group of girls of color.Photo: The Rolling Stones wrote a song about "Brown Sugar"!
 
I think it was the Rolling Stones who recorded the song "Brown Sugar"!
 
They then got into building sand castles:

Yes, there were body parts everywhere!
 
Then the flyovers begin: First one said " Prime rib & crab legs buffet at the dog track". Sorry, not my combination!  Kinda like cats at a Chinese restaurant!  Second one was even more entertaining: "Captain Jacks AYCE crablegs. I thought it spelled "Alyce" (my momma's given name, but we just call her Granny) and I went "huh"? Spousal unit informs me AYCE stands fors "all you can eat". Go figure.....  Third flyover was the reminder to "leave no trace" on the beach. That one always reminds me of the Bubba's from Alabama, but that's a whole nuther story.
 
In front of us we had the good ole boys from Colorado and Missouri, here for a bachelor party weekend.  They had the right idea:

A case of beer went in the cooler and it was gone in no time. They started out playing one handed Frisbee game in progress. Drink a beer with one hand, catch and throw with the other. First to drop or spill a beer has to dodge the road traffic and fetch the next 12 pack!  The first set of losers eventually were indeed sent out for the refills.  They then started playing  whiffle ball.  The pitcher got pinged in the middle of his forehead on the first hit!
 
It wasn't long before the sand castle gals got hooked up with the bachelor party boys:

The music was blaring, the Hennessey shots were flowing, followed up by Parrot Bay rum!  The guy in the white shorts did not make it to 4:00 before ending up face down in the sand.  He kept going back and forth between these gals and a blonde in a pink bikini.  The Blonde wasn't having any of it.  He finally walked up to the blonde, and said ""hey baby, I'm drunk, you're good looking. Lets go wade in a pee"!  He went, she didn't.  He was followed by some of his buddies.  Then the girls sitting in front of us got in the act, one saying to another "want to go pee"?  Hand in hand, off they went!

By now, I was running my phone off my handy dandy battery backup.  Almost drained it too!

A hefty young dad comes waddling by with his little son in hand.  I noticed his manly tattoo on his arm.  As he got closer, I begin to notice that his stomach was covered in these huge stretch marks! A woman earns her stretch marks through the devotion to the children she gives birth to. A man gets his from his love and devotion to his passion for beer. Same thing? You decide.

Could not wait to post all of this excitement for you.  Got the phone and battery pack charging.  No one knows what this evening will bring!  Stay tuned, be here all week til next Friday!

Life is good :-)
