Male Frigate Bird Showing Throat Sack |
Here's the male and female flying close together. They're easy to photograph because they stay almost motionless in the air. Just wish I'd had my good camera along.
After breakfast, I opened up a few of the boxes we got from our shipper (Roy and Son, Ltd. Roy Pescascio). Below is two of our three fans we purchased over the Internet for our guest house. They'll be stored till we're ready for installation.

The other two things that we got was our new waterfall for the pool. It's a plastic contraption that will fit right up next to the pool house roof and should give us a nice even sheet fall into the pool.

Along with the waterfall came a debris trap that is supposed to be inserted right before the waterfall unit, as any sizable debris at all will be enough to disrupt the smooth sheet of the fall. It's probably designed more for use in a pond, but, we'll insert it anyway - just in case.

Here's a couple of pictures I shot that show more or less where the new waterfall will go. The two pipes going to the ceiling will be re-routed. One controls the existing home-built waterfall (that never worked all that well) and the other controls the solar heater on the roof (yet to be installed).
So, my next project could be one of two things. One - installing the waterfall and mosaic. Which also entails draining and cleaning the pool, and Two - installing the wifi external antenna, to extend the Internet to our guest house and possibly another location or two around the area.
I know Craig would like us to do that first. But, the pool is a powerful tool that is really useful during this hot weather. I would really like to get that underway and done first. On the other hand, the antenna would probably go fast. Ahhh, decisions, decisions, decisions... I didn't retire to have to make decisions.
Perhaps I'll have a beer or two and a swim and think about it.

Hi Dave,
you had mentioned a shipper in Texas at som epoint in your blog. Do you have more information on shippers that you could share? You can reply to me directly at wilmalingle@yahoo.com if you think others who follow your blog would be bored.
thanks,
Wilma
Wilma,
I answered your question by email, assuming I'd given the info somewhere else on the blog... On closer examination, I don't think I did. I'll put the info into a separate post.
Hope it helps.
Cheers,
Dave
