Good Tuesday morning 'nauts. I saw this interesting house on the way to the job yesterday, spent the day hauling blocks, demoing and cleaning in preparation for paint and floor repair, at my friend's place, then spent an hour at the beach cooling off in the water. Then I had this lovely snack of corned beef and plantain amarillas with a dark rum and tonic. Finished off with a great conversation with the folks at the next table. It was a good day.
I hope yours was as well.

Tsunami safe, but I'm not sure I'd want to ride out a hurricane in it. 😬
That's called vertical evacuation. Good for high tides/storms. I think that tsunami waves would take it out, with all the debris in them, tho.
@Teej_Muk @yadayadayada
Oddly, it's quite a distance from the shore - but it is above a large lowland that can flood from the sea, or heavy rains. Maybe they like the breezes up there.
@FireMonkey Sounds like an awesome day. Hope today is equally rewarding. 🥰
@nursefrombirth
Will try. Short day probably. Power washing the rooms (it's all cement block), screens and the hurricane shutters, and patching cracks and holes. Build some shelves, then paint tomorrow I hope. More sunset and swim. 😎
Must be very close to surf
@LnzyHou
Yes. Mere minutes to several beaches in SW Puerto Rico. Muy tranquillo. Touristy, yet primarily PR locals. Not a bunch of 'mericans on vacay. That's San Juan where cruise ships come into San Juan Viejo, and nearby Condado is a mini Miami. The north coast good for local and anglo surfers. While Rincon on the NW has been Californicated.
Used to fly there to shop with my friends on St Croix.
@LnzyHou
That's a whole 'nuther level.
(Was it Bennington's in those days that was the "hot" clothes place?) Was there for 10 days or so for friend's wedding in...'93? Hurricane 2nd night. During repairs, found a human skull at the bottom of a 5 ft hole we dug for a replacement power pole. We said a few words, passed a joint with the linemen, dropped in a bud, 6 in of sand, and the pole. We had a bachelor party and a wedding to take care of, and electricity was going to be part of it.🏝️🌀🎩👰💀⚡👩🔧🍾🥂
What an epic story!
@FireMonkey Nice! I ❤️ Muy tranquillo.
@LnzyHou
@FireMonkey Wow! Good Tuesday morning!🌻☕️
That sounds like a good day already! The plantain alarillas-and beach! Cool house pic, too.
Too cold to think about cooling off anywhere. Enjoy your week.
@FireMonkey Morning 🙂
@Mandypar
Good day Mandy
I hope you're doing well. 💜
@FireMonkey That house -- there´s something you don't see every day.
