Buoy Riders From Hell

Christmas was yesterday and I'm on the 110 west line just south of the Equator. The work is hard, all day in the hot sun pulling bouy's out and putting brand new ones down so the weather folks back home can figure ifin we will have a good or bad hurricane season next year or not. Anyway Set em up and knock em down is what we say, those of us who climb aboard the TAO Buoys of the Pacific Ocean get to hold the time honored title of Bouy Riders From Hell, believe me it is a small club compared to most! It kind of goes like this; you get in a small rubber boat that gets dropped over the side into the sea where you proceed to your target the said buoy of the day. Well the seas are not alway flat, calm and smooth! Sometimes, more than often they have a life of there own, so when arriving at the target, a round thing that looks more like a donut with a small tower on it, bouncing up and down whould be putting it lightly. It's all in the timing for sure, you don't want to miss or you will end up in the drink with many large creatures that would love a taste of something other than fish! Don't get me wrong, this really is fun, but has a way of making you tight where it takes while before you can properly pass gass! When it's all over, I go back to my room and draw goofy pictures of odd and funny things. This is my studio!

If your head is in the fog and you've lost your way, your compass is not broken, turn off the TV and stop watching FOX!
