honey i am stuck again
i tell you this man can find some creative ways to spend his time getting out of work sometimes.
this time he and his buddies head out to the duck flats there taking a boat to a small island off shore and setting up a duck blind and digging in for the day. not a problem and they will be back later on before dinner. its his day off and tomorrow he has to work . i go about my busniness and dont give it another thought. dinner time comes and my cook isnt home and i am wondering what is keeping him and what to do about dinner. i think i finally broke down and got a pizza ordered in. time marches on and no men though and i am getting worried. i get a call from someone telling me this story.
seems they did what the set out to do i think there were 4 of them papa and his buddies. dug in made there duck blind and got to telling stories and passing time. well none of them figured on a big tide that day and i dont think any of them actually cked the books or if they did it wasnt telling them the truth which sometimes happens around here LOL they didnt take a boat out there as planned instead it turned out they hiked in. wouldnt have been a problem if they cked there times and the tides. but the tide did come in and fast. now this is a tiny piece of land out there not to big i think you could fit it into your front room LOL so here are 4 men stuck out there till the tide goes out in the wee hours of the am or the next day it had to be low enough for them to walk back in. one of them had a hand held and was able to call a friend and tell them what was up. but there was no way to retrieve them and they seemed to be ok but they were stuck for the duration and had to build a fire. LOL huddle down and keep warm. ran out of coffee and the whole bit. you could see their plight from the high way it goes right by the island LOL hey honey i see you honk honk sorry you missed out on dinner honk honk. LOL they came home later the next day with there story and now each time we drive past that island papa always looks out and foundly tells that story to me . sigh. i guess he had fun LOL there friend they got ahold of called all the bosses and said sorry this is where they are at and there stuck none of them is coming in until tide change later on today.
