A Day Of Rest & Relaxation

Pleep was up early this morning because he wanted to enjoy a full day of rest, relaxation and no chores. The first thing he noticed was the traffic jam on the beach. Hundreds of Jeeps, every make and model, including half ton trucks from WWII were out in force. Most had a lot of scantily clad humans hanging out of them. Evidently, we were smack in the middle of Jeep Beach 2010. Knowing our rental vehicle was a Jeep, Pleep was very excited and tried hard to convince Ed to join the parade. He saw it as a prime opportunity to monkey butt everyone in the parade, on the beach and in the water. Under no circumstance was Ed getting involved in the activity. We settled for a long walk and made better time than the Jeeps. Pleep commented that he could see a lot of candidates for the Darwin Club in this lot.

By early afternoon the Jeeps were gone and the beach in our section was fairly quiet. Just the right time for Delete to head out and enjoy the late afternoon sun. Pleep was still grumbling about not getting to be in the parade. He commented, "If Kate, Harry or Beau were here, one of them would have badgered Ed into getting into the parade." He did stop grumbling enough to rearrange the pillows in the guest room. The first arrangement was not to his liking so he kept mixing things up until he felt the combination was right. Now that the guest room is ready, he is moving on to the final touches in the guest bathroom tomorrow. Pleep figures the sooner everything is ship shape and ready for guests the better. Maybe the next time there is a car parade he will have more support for joining it. His final tasks of the day are going to focus on the Monkeybutters. He thinks they need improvements in the batting area and hopes to pick up a few good free agents in the Sunday night picks. If nothing else, scouting opportunities at the Daytona Beach Cubs vs. the Saint Lucie Mets look promising.
