3D sign Jacky picked up by a marina trash bin. Somebody went overboard making this one. Then Almond Grove is my community. "The guards aren't there to keep me in ?!!" Then, sugarbirds covering my soursop tree waiting for the honky to feed the little buggers.
AH! Island Time

love it............lol
Really great sign and nice to see you on your terrace you must enjoy, overlooking the marina.
I love especially the pic of the tree full of birds! :)
Phil, make that marina(s) & Martika, there are about 80+ that I feed up to 7 times a day.
that's what happens when my neighborhood gets left unguarded too! some honky comes out and steals all the signs, and everything goes to the birds!
Your garden must be full of birdsong!
LOL , Ho2 & Martika, I issue ear plugs at the door.
Great to see you BB2 AND THE ISLAND IS KEEPING YOU YOUNG LOOKING!!
Sean, I'm in KY right now freezing me bum off ! Shiny disc in the sky today that I vaguely remember as the sun before coming here.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cutie birdies, cutie Bb :-D
and... Nice post!!!
Kyra, I'm looking for a recipe for sugarbird pie.
You know Lucas.... when I saw you holding a sign I thought it was going to be one of those "I will work for food" ..lol looking good.
No Gary. Will Work For Beer !
Oh never enter my mind ..lol smoked for years .. and quite for years up till a few months ago and started up agian..and the wife's not to thrilled about it,.. but I told her she knows I like a good smoke and a good poke ...lol later..
I can't imagine starting again. I often stop & take a deep breath because it feels so good now.
Need to move KY to the Caribbean & leave this weather up here !
Motor, would you go to that much trouble to make a No Smoking sign ? I wouldn't ! They must have been working by the hour. LOL !
Great 3D sign BB2.
I can just catch a glimps of the ocean behind you. Looks like a paradise place to live.
send it to Alan!!!
Good idea Anne. Of course it would probably be destroyed with drill holes by U.S. Customs though.
Nicefice, your invitation is noted and Jan. will be starred on my calendar so that if I don't have something planned for that month, I will invent something. Also, I assure you that I don't own any "long underwear" & have no intention of shopping for any as they don't sell them in SXM. LOL ! On the other hand, you might consider a visit to SXM in Jan., and don't bring "long johns".
Hi there blunderbuss, Good to see you're still kicking! Great sign!
Blunderbuss2, I see you have KY connection. I'm in heart of the Bluegrass! Shake hands sometime possibly?
Akro, I'm in Lexington right now & will be in Georgetown for the day this Sat.. 18 days & a wake-up before I'm homeward bound. Email is on my profile. When do they turn on the heat in KY ? !!
Roy, I notice that that site has a map of St. Eustatius where I lived for 8 yrs. You don't see many references to it/Statia.
Akro, I'm down to 14 days & a wake-up. I go to the Chenoe Pub by a Krogers each nite about 5:30 & have 2 beers.
Roy, you must be looking at old google and a past flat ! LOL ! Tire inflated & holding air. Now the pub ! If you are doing a study of KY wildlife, it would be a dud ! More like V.F.W. . LOL !! You don't see patrons backing into parking places so they can get away fast, like many places I've been.
Roy the wind comes out of the SE almost all the time, so planes land & take off in 12(0), where the famous beach where the idiots ride the fence. I'm still searching for intelligent life on the planet ! BTW. My shop is at the French airport(aerodrome) @ Grand Case. No sign.
When light traffic allows us to break away from usual traffic patterns, I've timed it at 4 1/2 mins. from takeoff to touchdown from 1 airport to the other in a single engine. Hey, it's not a big island !
That's my airport. That guy was too high on final. I have some great cockpit shots coming in there & other strips !
I didn't realize cigarettes came that big -- must be an island thing...
T-Mon, you should see the ones without filters.
Guess they couldn't get a square knot in & a monkey's fist was out of the question. LOL !
3 days & a wake-up !!
What people throw away often amazes me. Crazy.
Very true, Vintage. Of course it was Jacky who said it had been thrown away & that may be taken with a grain of salt. LOL !!
We have these birds (Coereba flaveola) here in Brazil too and they are called "cambacica" here.
Hey, thanks Mcheconi ! This became an issue & now we know. That's about a dozen or more names for what I generally call "the little buggers". I picked "mariquita" because I liked the sound. Most of my Portugese was in popiamento & I've forgotten most of that. So this is settled. Everywhere I've lived from Jamaica to Curacao, they have been called "sugar birds" as I remember. Mystery solved !
Tropical disturbance Lucas was downgraded due to wind-shear from tropical depression Jacky. We are are watching the situation closely for any developments. Conditions still exist for the perfect storm.
Another day on the "friendly f--king island" in other words !
"Sugar birds" is fine 'cause they compete with humming birds for food. Here's a ink to my bird photography page on Wiki Aves (Wikibirds): http://en.wikiaves.com/perfil_checoni
Mcheconi, I don't see a mariquita/cambacica there ? Oh Windwalker, I did get a T-shirt that says "Will Fix Airplanes For Beer". LOL !
BB, here you have the species page http://en.wikiaves.com/cambacica
At the bottom of this page you'll find the pictures taken by Wikiaves members
My picture of the cambacica is here http://en.wikiaves.com/2021211&p=1&t=u&u=7263&s=11542
It is called "bananaquit" in English (I didn't know that, found out today while searching in the English version of the website)
You do have a fine flock of feathered friends.
On the species page, at the middle of the page you'll find a subspecies list...there are 41 subspecies, most of them living in the Caribbean...you'll have to cope with the little buggers, I guess LOL
Mcheconi, the one in your pic must be female because it looks like it just got shagged. LOL !! The little buggers are eating my soursop now !
LOL...BB the pic was taken very early in the morning, so I guess she had a busy night, poor thing.
Well, it said "gender unknown". Just helping you fill in the info. ! LOL !! Every 3 or 4 months, most of them disappear for a month or so, like right now. Guess they are out raiding everybody's fruit when it ripens, like my soursop ! Gone from 5-7 feedings a day to 1. At least it's quieter . Now, about all these dove - - - -.
Beautiful birds and beautiful island.
Amatoor, I can only take credit for the pix. I just had cataracts removed & it's like seeing SXM anew.
Cool sign. Great view. Love your humor.
Thanks, thanks & thanks, Buckethead.
What a View....Life IS Good! N'est-ce-pas? Robert Etienne
Mai oui !!
Oh! My goodness--aren't you so handsome! Are you not in the USA...I have no clue, I just thought you were. Thanks for always "loving" whatever junk I put on CW!!! I appreciate you and a few other "regulars" keeping my postings current. Cool.
PCC, left clk. on a poster's profile pic & you will get what they want to share. In my case, I live in the "Wayward Islands". Quite a ways from Phoenix !
I see--beautiful!! No, not to worry--I wan't planning tp walk over for a tablespoon of sugar.. Just was dropping by to say I thought your photo was really nice!
You're welcome anytime PCC & always plenty of extra sugar because of the bloody birds. Passed thru Phoenix yrs. ago.
It looks like you have a wonderful place to nest in. I am a real homebody, and really don't even want to travel. Seems like you on the other hand have seen a lot of the earth we live on. I have not many memories to keep me compsny about places I have been. Chicago & Phoenix are the ONLY places I have lived
"IF I COULD TURN BACK TIME". me and "Cher"
"If I could turn back time", I might be living in Ardmore, Oakland, Detroit, Kingston, Puerto Barrios, Churchill, etc. PCC. Think I will settle for where I am & have been (Dutch) for the past 37 yrs. We have an understanding. I leave them alone & they leave me alone. It works & they have the safer end of the deal.
Sounds like you have all worked o
Whatever works.....cool!

Thanks Windwalker. Enjoyed that & have to watch the movie again. Of course, here, I can only cruise so far in a straight line before my feet get wet.
lol ...have a cold one for me..later
Did that earlier, Walker ! Ok, ok ! I'll have another.
thought you were holding a" will work for food sign " on the corner like they do round here ....lol but I was wrong...later
Naw, we don't have people here who vote for a living. Our businesses aren't hurting for people to work. Why don't "Merica's" homeless fill your job openings ?
BB why would they do that, just stay home and watch for the mailman ...lol
