Silly me...Floyd’s new dock box is in Lampe, Mo...Table Rock...it’s a ten hour round trip road trip...but he says “worth it”! Dakota and I will be home alone on that day. Then he’ll have to hire people to help wrestle it to our spot...I’ll be no help at all!

We thought Marina Days was a big bother...several booths selling stuff we didn’t need or want...some food...again nothing that interested us...lots of kid activities. Kayaks, bouncy house, paddle boards, free pontoon boat rides and swimming off the boat ramp dock..bands in the afternoon....and it was hot hotter hottest. We had more fun watching from the aft deck.

Early evening entertainment was provided by drunks staggering up and down our dock...don’t know where they came from or where they thought they were going in swimsuits with no shoes...but it was a distraction watching them trying to look sober.

About 930 pm someone on our dock decided they had better music...N O T...but we were subjected to it anyway...you know it’s loud when you can hear it in the aft cabin with the AC on full blast...it didn’t really work as a lullaby...but didn’t last long....I told Floyd he shoulda honked his horn...that would have stopped them.

Weekends on Pier 5 are certainly different....they’ll all be gone this afternoon....til next Saturday !
