Another week of no internet, the modem went down at Greenwood. We had a busy week, picked up business partners on Monday afternoon, went straight to the property and spent several hours out there. The next 2 days were spent following a D8 tractor with a GPS and a backhoe digging soil samples. got a lot of things done, including getting one of the trucks buried in sand....not my idea to drive down that road and am SUPER glad it was not me who got it stuck while backing out of said road. So we left it over night and all crammed into one truck, let me tell you the smell the 5 of us created, was terrible!!! esp. after working to get the truck unstuck, digging in sand with our hands.

another laundry experience....even more shocking. OK, so we went to the NEW laundromat, so we thought, walk in and had seen the large front loaders from the road a few days before. Well, out of 8 washers of different sizes and states of disarray, only 2 worked. OK, we can work with that. So, a guy who was attending the place just kinda looked at us, like you wanna wash now, no tmrw dude. So then the girl from the gas station next door comes over to help. She grabs a hose from the back of washer and throws it in, tells me this is faster and the water is not hooked up on this one anyway. OK so now we are using a cold water hose to fill washer, excellent.

We had not done laundry in over 3 weeks and the clothes from the property were filthy and very stinky. Of course we had already bought soap at another store and didn't buy the cold water soap, so we gave it a go. Took 3.5 hours to do 4 loads and there were only 2 dryers in the place. Oh and the cost is outrageous due to high electric bills, so 4 loads was $20, that's a NYC price!

Got to watch some football on Sat. and ended up at the sailing club for the weekly Sat night dance. Hung out with some locals we have spent time with and watched Tech play a great game, just dont like being on EST as the games run so late. We left at start of 4th as it was after 11pm and we had been out all day. Watched the highlights on Sun at Jr.s house. We stopped in to return a chain, the one used to haul the truck out of sand bed and ended up staying for whole afternoon. His kids are super cute and his wife, Peggy is very nice. They cooked us dinner, bbq chicken, veggies and rice, great meal and the biggest one we had since last wed. They have a crab pin on their back porch and grabbed about 5 and tossed them into a pan. They bring them out a while later and Peggy proceeds to show Chris how to eat this mess. The legs are ripped off before cooking the heads. She started ripping the crowns off and yellow goo is flying everywhere, this is where my stomach starts to lurch from the sound, smell and overall fear of what she is about to do. *Grossout factor coming** they rip the crown off and take bread and dip it into the head fat, the yellow goo....Chris said it didn't taste that good, but that the actual meat was sweet.
Peggy tore at these poor things like a champion, eating, talking and spitting out unwanted parts at the same time. I couldn't watch it. It is the messiest eating I have seen yet, she had it all over herself, fingers, hands, face, shirt! She ate 3 in time Chris ate 1....funny but NO way for me. Too much work for noting to really eat.

We moved into a new place today, pics to come later. a great yellow bungalow with a kitchen! got ourselves pretty much unpacked, again, today. got here at 130 and well it's 6 and we are almost done. The place is great, a pool, hot tub, 4 bbq pits, beach access with kayak, wireless! and a garden. Got the info from business partner last week. The couple who own the place are super nice. We feel at home already.

my fingers hurt from typing and now that we have better net connection, I hope it won't be weekly postings only. LOVE you all and stayed tuned for the crazy Potcake Island Adventures, they only keep getting better.
