Transcript

SPEAKER_09 0:00

It is 6.07 on the Liz Callaway Show with Next Summer. Welcome to it. Welcome back, Nicky. All right. Well, we want to thank Glen Dye Radio for allowing you to be having uh your week and a day off.

SPEAKER_05 0:18

Week and a day.

SPEAKER_09 0:20

Week and a day.

SPEAKER_05 0:20

Reminds me of that movie. Where are you going? Mexico. What's in Mexico? Mexicans. How long are you going? A week. No, a day. No, a weekday. There you go. That's it.

SPEAKER_09 0:29

There you go. So uh so you had a good time?

unknown 0:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 0:33

Hanging with uh the father in law got to show us his new house first time we were in it. No one he built, so it was really good. And he's not done. He's got to build like a Carolina room. It's like you can't have a Carolina room in Florida. That's against the law. I don't know. Need a Florida room. Yeah, I guess so. So he's I mean, it's what's funny is just a little side note and kind of politics related in a sense. Local elections are so important.

SPEAKER_09 0:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 0:58

And I mean, even Clerk does he have an HOA? No. Oh, okay. So he's dealing directly. He's dealing directly with the county. Citrus County, which is where he lives. And they just they have bureaucrats who are corrupt. He said the same thing that goes on everywhere else goes on here. Just 10 miles away from him, they rubber stamp all these okay's for all these condos being built. Oh. And yet he can't make home improvement or additions and all that stuff without jumping through hoops like you wouldn't believe. Wow. It's like they they almost dissuade you from doing anything that would improve the value of your property. But yet these builders that got all kinds of, you know, money.

unknown 1:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 1:44

He feels like and everybody donation, campaign donation money.

SPEAKER_05 1:48

Everybody down there, all the contractors. I got to meet a bunch of his contractor buddies. Um, and they all they call it like the whole system with zoning and the clerk and all that stuff down there. It's a poop show, and they used a different word. Said it is just crazy.

SPEAKER_09 2:04

A lot of people in those situations hire expeditors just to get something done. But you know, like what you're saying is uh maybe there's a little too much corruption in there. Someone needs to shine a light on it. Yeah. But it is a Republican county.

SPEAKER_05 2:19

It well, it is, but it's it's politics are put aside when greed and the power trips that these little people have, you know, it's it's like an HOA, you know, you get some real life. I was asking Saturday.

SPEAKER_09 2:31

Okay, what they start with that mentality.

SPEAKER_05 2:32

They start with five rules. Don't do this, this, this, or this. And then those five rules turn into sub uh adjacent to with paragraph, you know what I mean? And all of a sudden you're looking at a manual just to live in a certain area. It's like, come on. You know, and that's the way this this county, Citrus County, is is treating. But he's he's soldiering on and he just he plays their game, he doesn't write any checks, he doesn't grease anybody's palms, he just does what he has to do and kind of backs them into a corner because he's pretty smart with building stuff. These people are not.

SPEAKER_09 3:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 3:02

You know, they're not, they may be code enforcement and they may know basics of stuff, but he's smart. The example is that he came and built our edition on our room, which is the kids' playroom. You've been in it.

SPEAKER_09 3:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 3:14

Did a great job.

SPEAKER_09 3:15

We had our local I can't believe he built that whole thing on its own.

SPEAKER_05 3:18

Yeah, well, him and his buddy.

SPEAKER_09 3:19

Like poured the cement and did everything.

SPEAKER_05 3:22

Well, we had to c we contracted so we just for the slab, but basically. Yeah, from slab up. Wow. And that's a beautiful I mean it adds a lot of value to our home and it's it's nice in there. Anyway. But the funny thing that he that I was standing there when this this guy who uh who the code enforcement guy, you know, an inspector, they come to check on the work, and they they would come each step. Yeah, each step. And he looked at Bob and he said, Boy, I wish everybody built stuff the way you do down here. Said, you are just incredible with how you're approaching it. And like he passed every inspection.

SPEAKER_09 3:59

Wow.

SPEAKER_05 4:00

He said, It is it is over and above what most people and how they build things here. And Bob goes, That's the only way I know how to build.

SPEAKER_09 4:07

Hmm. You know, and how how did he learn to do all that building?

SPEAKER_05 4:11

From his dad.

SPEAKER_09 4:12

Wow.

SPEAKER_05 4:13

His dad is also just really smart. Did you have you learned anything? No, not a bit. A little. A little. When he was I learned a little bit about siding.

SPEAKER_09 4:24

After siding a shed, you only learned a little bit.

SPEAKER_05 4:27

A little bit. Yeah, well, I'm just I'm stupid. I really am.

SPEAKER_09 4:30

I don't think you are.

SPEAKER_05 4:31

No, I kind of am. I I mean he he gave me, he goes, cut these these pieces to this length, and he gave it to me, and I'm like staring at the ruler, going counting one. I mean, I'm just dumb. I really am. That's so funny. To that kind of stuff. Yeah. But anyway, he was great, and we had a good time, and he he had so much fun with Nicolina. Boy, we fished constantly.

SPEAKER_09 4:53

That you're good at.

SPEAKER_05 4:54

Yeah, I had fun fishing.

SPEAKER_09 4:56

Did you catch anything?

SPEAKER_05 4:57

Um, little stuff, but I let Nicolina do it. You know, I just she's she got to the point where she touched the worms.

SPEAKER_09 5:03

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 5:03

But that's it. But uh, it's a process. She'll get to the point where she'll hook her own worms and we'll be good.

SPEAKER_09 5:08

She's only seven.

SPEAKER_05 5:09

Yeah, no, I know. But you know, I hadn't really fished since my dad passed away. That's he and I would do that. And I didn't have any patience for it, so I just did it just to be with my dad.

SPEAKER_06 5:19

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_09 5:20

But with Nicolina, it's where were you fishing?

SPEAKER_05 5:22

Uh Lake Hernando.

SPEAKER_09 5:24

Oh, so that was all lake fishing.

SPEAKER_05 5:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 5:26

How was it being on the boat in the lake? Uh a lot of fun. Yeah. Was it rocky?

SPEAKER_05 5:31

No, it's no, it's well, I mean, there's little parts, but the problem they're having down there is the same problem we're having here. What is it? Drought. Water levels are way down. His dock is supposed to be like this, you know, just straight. Yeah. What's the word I'm looking for? Vertical, right?

SPEAKER_09 5:47

No, horizontal.

SPEAKER_05 5:48

Horizontal. Sorry. See? See, you want me to build something for you? I'm stupid. Horizontal. And it's it looks like a ramp evil Knievel would jump on. And he's down a couple of feet. Oh, three and a half feet. Wow. And so there it was a little tricky kind of navigating. He knows the lake so well. How deep is the lake?

SPEAKER_09 6:10

Uh he could take a bow down on it.

SPEAKER_05 6:12

Oh, yeah, yeah. It's deep. I mean, it's 50, 60 feet in some spots. Okay. But it's down, and in the other spots where you need the good four or five feet, it's down to a foot. So you can't even go in those areas.

SPEAKER_04 6:23

Right.

SPEAKER_05 6:23

There are a couple of boats on Lake Hernando that can't are stuck.

SPEAKER_09 6:27

Until the water comes out.

SPEAKER_05 6:28

Until the water comes in. Because they have those nice lift systems.

SPEAKER_09 6:31

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 6:31

And even if they drop it down, it's going to go straight in the mud. There's no water.

SPEAKER_06 6:35

Wow.

SPEAKER_05 6:36

So they're having a lot of the drought issues. We are. I mean, the whole southeast is, you know.

SPEAKER_06 6:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 6:41

But he he was good. We went to different areas and, you know, got to his his haunts that we go to. He goes to the VFW and the elks and the moose and all the animals that No Lama Lodge.

SPEAKER_09 6:52

No Lama Lodges.

SPEAKER_05 6:53

I wasn't going to get into that with him. He had to give me a look like what? Oh, that's so funny. But my daughter just absolutely.

SPEAKER_09 7:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 7:02

Like a whole month. The previous week was residing my shed, which he built for our present, our wedding present.

SPEAKER_06 7:08

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_05 7:08

And he said, you know, I was painting it every year. And he just goes, Yeah, he goes, You got some wood route, let's get rid of that. And he fixed it all up, put siding on it, and jacked it up another like couple inches, put some wood underneath, and then he's going to put these anchors down. That's the next time he's got to be. Yeah, he thinks I said, Well, I think we're good. We don't have anything, knock on real wood, predict prediction wise, anything serious that's below normal, they say. He goes, Alright, well, I'll swing through in a month or two. So he's going back to back up to where he's.

SPEAKER_09 7:39

Yeah. After it's jacked up. Now he jacked it up because of water.

SPEAKER_05 7:43

It was just sinking in the water and wet wood wet gr uh grounds. Yeah, you know. Yeah. Yeah. So anyway. So he he's just super smart. Now just I run around, I help him.

SPEAKER_09 7:53

That's awesome. Yeah. Well, that's fun. You needed a break. Yeah. Because, you know, between the both of you working and school, it's like finally just everybody can just the little one is hilarious and continues to make us laugh because she's so goofy.

They're kissing him, hugging him, and playing with him, and and it's just so adorable to watch how they are just bonding, and it's it's great. Now, Christian, he's like 21. All right, so it's kind of like far apart. But I I said to Adrian, I said, You and Sebastian are that age difference. And so you'll be 21, and and he's gonna be your age. So when you're 21, remember how much your big brother means to you. Yeah, you know, and uh and Christian's so good with them, like he takes them, he's always watching them and taking taking care of them when uh when he needs to. But um, I can imagine how much fun that was for your father-in-law.

SPEAKER_09 12:18

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 12:19

SPEAKER_09 12:24

So where was it on the St. Pete's Peninsula? Was it on the barrier side or was it on the Gulf side? Were you in the Gulf?

SPEAKER_05 12:31

Yes.

SPEAKER_09 12:32

Okay, you were like literally in the Gulf.

SPEAKER_05 12:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 12:34

Wow. Okay.

SPEAKER_05 12:35

Pretty sure. Yeah. I didn't drive. I was in the back with the baby.

SPEAKER_09 12:39

So you didn't see Sunken Gardens.

SPEAKER_05 12:42

No.

SPEAKER_09 12:42

Oh, that would have been cool.

SPEAKER_05 12:43

There's a bunch of stuff we wanted to do, but you know, you just run out of time, and then the baby kind of hampers.

SPEAKER_09 12:47

And it's hot.

SPEAKER_05 12:48

Oh, it's so hot.

SPEAKER_09 12:49

Yeah, you gotta do everything early.

SPEAKER_05 12:51

I was happy to get in the water. By the way, they went and go I was gonna tell you this big inflatable obstacle course.

SPEAKER_06 12:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 12:57

Which was mom and Nicolina went on that, and I had the baby because she was sleeping. I was like, let her sleep. And then she woke up and we were both just hot. Yeah. And I was like, well, I don't like she's like me. She's very fair skinned, she'll burn. Yeah. But they have this under like pool, which is like under basically? Yeah, kinda. That's a cave cover. It feels like a cave like. Yeah, yeah. But I think they do that intentionally to stay out of the sun for the kids. And it was chilly.

SPEAKER_06 13:26

Really?

SPEAKER_05 13:27

But it felt good. And I hate cold water. Chilly. And I thought the kids water was chilly? Yeah, it was to me, it was chilly.

SPEAKER_09 13:33

So did they have it roped off like? No. Oh, okay. It was just literally out there.

SPEAKER_05 13:38

You had to walk past the outside pool, which was big, and they were having all kinds of activities for kids and adults. And then you walk past, and then there's this big I think the deepest it was just like four feet.

SPEAKER_09 13:49

But it's a live leave breathing Gulf of America? You're literally in the Gulf of the Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 13:54

I was on the Gulf of America. Wow. And we went out in the ocean, took the baby and all that, but just, you know, to our feet.

SPEAKER_09 14:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 14:01

Nicolina and I went a little deeper and had fun.

SPEAKER_09 14:03

You said ocean, but you don't mean ocean.

SPEAKER_05 14:05

Uh golf.

SPEAKER_09 14:05

Yeah. Sorry. Okay. So the reason why I'm asking is Ocean water. Because um, if you go down towards North Myrtle Beach, remember Shark Wake Park where you can water ski? They now put all obstacle course stuff. No way. Oh, yeah, you could take her there. Have you seen that place? Um, it looks really cool and that whole area is um really incredible. Uh the, you know, the recreation center and all that. I wish we had that in the city of Myrtle Beach. Like that, they did it right. Um, but Sharkwake Park, um, they say it's Citizen Circle in Little River. I guess it's Little River. If you look at the uh it's right off of 31. It's like on 30, like you can see it from 31. Um, and if you go and you she would love it there. Um come here and look at this real quick once. What?

SPEAKER_05 15:09

We got a show going by. I have to tell you this, Mike the AR guy, he always has the uh snarky quips.

SPEAKER_09 15:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 15:14

He said, well, he can build a house, but he can deal with Liz. Different set of skills, he says.

SPEAKER_09 15:22

I want to show you this.

SPEAKER_05 15:23

All right, hold on. I'm coming over here.

SPEAKER_09 15:25

Look, look at this obstacle course.

SPEAKER_05 15:27

Oh man, is that cool? It is cool. Way bigger.

SPEAKER_09 15:30

Yeah. Way bigger than the Shark Wake Park. Wow. Um, plus they have a cable park. They have so many things. So they have obstacle island, and then you could do wakeboarding, where you um it's like a mechanical cable where you get on the wakeboard and hold on and do like water skiing. Yeah, they have a lot of cool stuff. You gotta check it out. Um they have you could do parties there and so cool.

SPEAKER_05 15:56

They have this one thing. Look at that.

SPEAKER_09 15:58

Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_05 15:59

You go all the way up and it's like this big, giant, you see slide down water slides.

SPEAKER_09 16:04

Into the Gulf of America?

SPEAKER_05 16:05

No, it's on the beach, it doesn't go into the Gulf of America. Oh, okay. But it's sold. I had to go down a hundred times over it.

SPEAKER_09 16:10

I don't know how deep this is, and I don't know. It's like a roped-off area, so I don't know if any living creatures can get in there, i.e. alligators and water moccasin. Um that's always my big fear. Uh, but it looks like you're gonna get wet, but the object is to stay. So I don't know what happens if you fall in, and I'm guessing you wear some sort of um some they they all have life jackets on, and there's people swimming around in the water. I'm looking at the pictures now. But it's brand new. Cool. They just built it.

SPEAKER_05 16:51

I gotta check it out.

SPEAKER_09 16:52

So you have to check it out.

SPEAKER_05 16:53

See what it costs, see what it is. I mean I learned something about Florida that was unique. What is it? Did you know it's the only spot on the globe, according to this guy who told us this? And I Googled it and he was right. So the guy and Google are right. Florida's the only spot in the entire planet where you have crocodiles and alligators. I don't think I ever knew that. And the difference between, yeah.

SPEAKER_09 17:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 17:20

But they coexist, they commingle. So more in the southern part of the tip of the state, but they do.

SPEAKER_09 17:27

You know, my son and I had a whole conversation about crocodiles and alligators and the differences and how crocodiles are very vicious and they will go and get you, and alligators are like skittish. And he's like, You could go by an alligator, but most likely they'll walk away.

SPEAKER_05 17:42

Yeah, you can spook an alligator. Crocodile takes you as a challenge.

SPEAKER_09 17:47

Yeah, but I didn't know they had them in Florida, and that's probably why my son was telling me about them.

SPEAKER_05 17:53

Well, and the you know, the two because we had this conversation, right?

SPEAKER_09 17:58

Right. You know why?

SPEAKER_05 17:59

Because of the dumb joke. The difference between, because you'll see the crocodile after a while, but the gator's always later. Something like that.

SPEAKER_09 18:11

Something like that. But yeah, that whole um where are they in flo- are they in the water? Because you know, that person was eaten by a crocodile in Porto Vallarta, and that's where we went, and it was in the ocean. The Pacific Ocean.

SPEAKER_05 18:31

Sending me this.

SPEAKER_09 18:32

No, because I was just snorkeling in Porto Vallarta. I know. And I said to I was more worried about sharks, and I said, okay, let all the people go in the water, and after 10 minutes, then I'll decide if I'm gonna go too. Because you literally have to go off the boat. They pull up a boat to like a cove, and I was like, how do you know there's not like stingrays in there and sharks and like and I'm trying to look and I don't know, it's Mexico, and they don't care. They don't, they don't take, they don't take your life seriously in Mexico. They don't care if they lose a tourist. I mean, they don't. Have you ever gone to like these places? They so lax. They're like, yeah, here, here's a life fest. See you in a while.

SPEAKER_05 19:18

I've I've gone on the excursions on a cruise ship, and yeah, they are pretty lax in the safety requirements are nothing like here.

SPEAKER_09 19:27

No, like if you swim with dolphins in Disney. We all lived. I know, but if you swim with dolphins in Disney, it's so restrictive. You because they care more about the dolphins than you. But when you go and you swim with dolphins in like Mexico, the Bahamas, I mean, that thing will take you 20 miles before it turns around. They're not trained, they're like, whatever. See ya.

SPEAKER_05 19:51

That didn't take long. Uh all right, let's go. I'm back 20 minutes and we're late.

SPEAKER_09 19:58

Well, we had a catch, I think.

SPEAKER_05 20:00

There's a picture of uh Grandpa Bob and Nicolina on the boat.

SPEAKER_09 20:04

No, you gotta tap it so I can see it.

SPEAKER_05 20:07

Is that better?

SPEAKER_09 20:08

Oh, yeah, yeah. I met him at one of the parties. You did. Maybe once or twice.

SPEAKER_05 20:14

We were uh we were happy I get on the boat because it's the first time I've been on the boat in quite a few years because I'm having down there. It's like a big giant pontoon boat. Oh, I love that. Yeah, and so everybody can sit comfortably and it's got like he's got it outfitted so you can have the fishing stuff all right there. It's it's cool. The only thing he said, my stereo's broke. He goes, Maybe you can fix it. I said, Okay, and then we didn't get to that. Oh we worked on something else. Um but he had a big old American flag and a Trump flag.

SPEAKER_09 20:41

He's a big Trump supporter.

SPEAKER_05 20:43

Yeah, and then on his his really cool Did he ever go on one of those Trump parades? No.

SPEAKER_09 20:47

Oh, okay. He doesn't get a lot of them in Florida.

SPEAKER_05 20:50

Yeah, he doesn't get politically active, but he will display when he what he believes in. And then I get in his golf cart, which is souped up and jacked up. I mean, you had to like almost get a stepladder to get on that thing.

SPEAKER_09 21:01

Oh, really?

SPEAKER_05 21:01

That's pretty cool. It's pretty fast. And he's got a big old gas? Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 21:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 21:06

It's got a Trump sticker on the front. I was like, okay, all right, all right. I go, Bob, I'm really proud of you. He goes, Well, he goes, given the choices, Trump's the guy. I go, exactly.

SPEAKER_09 21:17

So my gosh, I'm telling you. Have you paid attention to the news at all? It was kind of slow. Yeah. The whole week you were gone. A few things here and there.

SPEAKER_05 21:29

Yeah, Trump's mad about the one. I got his reaction to that. Uh, the lunatics on the left, he said basically might as well stop calling himself socialist or democrat socialists, just go straight to communism because that's what they are. Yeah. And then uh what else? What else? Oh, there's, I guess, potentially a ruling coming down today. Earthright? Citizenship? Is that today?

SPEAKER_09 21:52

And um, there's another one.

SPEAKER_05 21:54

The slaughter case was good because he can hire and fire people.

SPEAKER_09 21:57

Yeah, that was a big earth shattering thing for.

SPEAKER_05 22:00

Any precedent. Election day thing was not good because Malin Ballast can be accepted after we did share on Rapid Response Alito's dissent and let that be a warning.

SPEAKER_06 22:13

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_05 22:14

Basically. So, you know, I got a couple of good clips on that as far as that's concerned. Red flags in Obamacare. Scams and a whole bunch of fake people enrolled. Big surprise. Anytime there's a government program, it is just, I mean, it's tailor-made for ripoffs, scams, fraud, abuse.

SPEAKER_09 22:34

That's the nature of humans, though. It's sad. I know. It's sad. Birthright citizenship, like you mentioned, but transgender athlete bands. There's two cases. Um, so they're going to decide whether Idaho's and West Virginia's bands can stand. Uh, transgender athletes contend that restricting their participation discriminates on the basis of sex and gender identity in violation of the 14th Amendment because they're saying they're a woman. Plain and simple. Also, uh, campaign finance. The Supreme Court will rule on a GOP backed challenge to a campaign finance provision. At issue is how much money candidates can spend in coordination with their political party. Uh, then J.D. Vance, who was senator at the time, uh, the National Republican Senatorial Committee and the National Republican Congressional Committee, and a former congressman filed suit arguing the provision violates the First Amendment. So I'm not really understanding what the uh ramifications will be of that. So I guess we'll learn more as these dis decisions come down. But it looks like birthright citizenship, what we want to happen, um, because it pret right now the foreign-born or um babies born here to foreign-born people like on vacation or birth tourism.

SPEAKER_05 23:56

There's a whole tourism for yes, thank you. You said it.

SPEAKER_09 23:58

Um it looks like it's it's gonna be against Trump and what he wants.

SPEAKER_05 24:04

That's what the signals are, but they've surprised us before, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Yeah, I think.

SPEAKER_09 24:15

Yeah, yeah. Um I that's what we hear, so I don't know what her deal is. I really don't.

SPEAKER_05 24:22

I don't either.

SPEAKER_09 24:24

But um, you know, they're their own people. And so to to say that Trump has in there, you know, sycophants is uh obviously not true, and it's been proven case after case, really. You know, occasionally it goes his way, so it's not like it's automatic. No. So they need to shut up about that. Yeah. All right, let's take a break.

What does that mean? Well, that's when you transform your garage into something beautiful and functional.

SPEAKER_05 25:17

Nobody A trans garage.

SPEAKER_09 25:19

A trans garage. But nobody really thinks about it because they're like, oh no, nothing is gonna make this garage beautiful. Well, it takes one step at a time, don't be overwhelmed. Garage Kings is a white glove service. They use uh polyaspartic floors, which uh make your floors beautiful. And by the way, before they do that, they sand it and prep it properly, fill in all the cracks the right way, and they they do all that, but they can help you if you need it painted, you need insulation, you need a mini split, you need storage and slat walls and and um shelving and things that hang from the ceiling. They can help you with all of that. So it's a done deal. When it's done, it's done. Even helping you with the logistics of getting everything out of your garage. Find out more.

SPEAKER_09 33:04

I was like, wait a minute, fourth of July is on a Saturday, so when do we have off? We have off Friday. So um we won't be here Friday, and uh, you know, there's a lot of different things going on. I did share on our Facebook page the things that are happening. Um so if you wanted to uh do something cool, uh we got invited to a party. So I'm gonna go to a party on um 4th of July night. Javier's working the whole weekend, of course. Um but he'll be off at night uh on the fourth of July, because I think they close early, like around six or something. So we'll be late to the party, but I'm sure that's when things will just start heating up uh literally and figuratively.

SPEAKER_05 33:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 33:43

Uh how how is it going to be?

SPEAKER_05 33:45

Uh well, we're gonna feel like we're in the triple digits with that heat index. Ninety-two will be the air temp. It was ninety-nine in in Tampa without the heat without the heat index. Yeah. With the heat index. I don't know how you did that on a boat. The breeze actually helped. Okay. But when the sun is strong. What we'd park, well, he had that big giant canopy on the side. Oh, that's good.

SPEAKER_09 34:08

Yeah, so nob nobody got sunburned. That's amazing. That's great.

SPEAKER_05 34:11

We all, you know, we were very cautious. Yeah. But anyway, anyway, so it's gonna be hot this weekend here.

SPEAKER_09 34:17

All right, so be careful out there. And uh, if you want to check out that list, you know, all the major TV stations have it. Um, you know, there's fireworks and festivities happening, of course, at Barefoot and Broadway at the beach. I don't I didn't see anything really going on at the Market Common, but I saw stuff going on at Merle's Inlet and at the marshwalk. So there's a plenty of things to do, uh fun, family fun things to do. And um one of the things that I did yesterday, and a bunch of people were out there, is that's why I I kind of woke up a little late. I went to go see the strawberry moon rising. It was a full moon, it was 100% full moon last night, and we watched it rise at 8 42 p.m. But there were some clouds, so it was like more like 8 48. And it was uh spectacular. It was really amazing. I did post some video on it. I have to share it onto our talk page as well, but um really a beautiful, um, a beautiful evening. But you know what? I'm not digging with what they did with the beach renourishment.

SPEAKER_05 35:22

I saw some what are they they ran a story on it, and then you always say go to the comments. Yeah. People are not happy.

SPEAKER_09 35:30

So with this beach renourishment, they brought up all this dredged sand from like a mile out into the ocean and they spit it up onto the shoreline, right? And when um you walk on the beach, you can't even walk on the beach anymore. It's like you have to wear shoes. It's all broken old shells. And then there's this foaminess of on the water, it's like a beige soup. And the other thing is the erosion, that's what it looks like. And then the the um, and I was you know, I'm like, we have the best beaches in the world, and I feel so bad for people that are coming on vacation because they have um, you know, the I guess the high the tide was going out last night, and there was like a three-foot cliff, a big chunk out of the shoreline. And the sand is black and sand. So I don't know where this black is coming from, but that makes the sand super hot and it makes it look swirling and black, and when you're walking, your feet are black. Like Bailey's white furry claws were all black from the sand. That has never happened. Um the sand is very deep, it's hard to walk on it, so you ha you walk on the the you know, the other part. There's these big hunks of rock. I like I I didn't see it in the dark walking back, but one got me. Um but there's these big rocks in some sections, and it's like we never have like rocks, like big rocks, um, on the beach. Some of them are like six, seven, eight inches. Like so I am not happy with this beach renourishment at all.

SPEAKER_05 37:23

Will this all calm down and everything will just get back to the nice sandy beaches or what?

SPEAKER_09 37:28

There are so many broken shells, you cannot walk. You have to wear your shoes, um, at least where I am anyway. Um, but they had just done it all like in the last couple of months and like I appreciate that you know, that they're trying to build up the beach, but I'm hoping that as the high tides come in and out and whatever, that it pulls it pulls it back in. But it took a huge chunk, and it was weird because there was this one lady that was looking at the you know, the cut version. It was like three or four feet of cliff, and she was pulling out these big conch shells. Wow. Because they're coming from deep in the ocean and they're being thrown up on the beach there, but they were like, you know, tattered and damaged. They weren't like perfect conch shells like you find in, you know, the Bahamas.

SPEAKER_06 38:24

Right, right.

SPEAKER_09 38:25

I mean, the ocean was just churned up this, it's all like ocean garbage on the beach. It does not look good, and it's ugly, and it's dark sand, it's not like beige fluffy sand. It's black. I I'm very sad about it actually. And we were walking last night and I was just like, What what happened here? This was like a beautiful area, you know, where the Dunes Club is, it's always beautiful there, and I was just like, What happened? So I'm hoping it's just gonna go. I mean, I've been through a couple of beach renourishments, um, and I don't remember this. So I don't know. I'm just wondering what you guys think. For those of you who are beachgoers, um, we love to go to the beach and and um I don't know, they kind of screwed it up for summer.

SPEAKER_05 39:12

Pontificator says, Sounds like y'all got into some of our river silt.

SPEAKER_09 39:17

That's what it looks like.

SPEAKER_05 39:18

Yeah, it's like I said it.

SPEAKER_09 39:24

You know what it reminded me of? Etch a sketch.

SPEAKER_05 39:26

Ah, yeah.

SPEAKER_09 39:27

That's what it we know when you take the etch a sketch and you shake it up a little after you sketched your etch. Um I was like, that's what it looks like. It was not a good look. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 39:42

All right. I'm I'm looking something up for you.

SPEAKER_09 39:45

I'm just wondering if the if if like have they checked the bacteria on there? And that water? I mean, there's a lot of stuff in the bottom of the ocean. I don't know. What's that beige foamy stuff? I didn't even want to walk through that.

SPEAKER_05 40:01

Said it could take a few weeks for I'm just I just did a search. Okay, what is it what does it say? And it says it could take a few weeks for things to uh to normalize. Initially it's gonna look spotty, dark, oddly shaped. The the sand, the mud, all that, and filled with broken shells. And it's gonna take a few weeks, and all of it just starts to kind of normalize and everything will be fine. Okay. So freshly pumped sand appears dark and gray due to mixed with mud and broken shells. After a few days, the sun oxidizes the non-sandy material, returning uh the beach to its normal light color. Okay. So the beat the visual beach bounces back quickly, the biological recovery, such as the return of sand crabs, clams, and all that stuff. That'll take a little longer. So we may not see that. You know how you you can see all those things in the beach? Yeah, right. So just doing a Google kind of AI response.

SPEAKER_09 40:57

Shell pickers are having a field day, and I'm sure they're finding shark's teeth. I never find them because I don't know what I'm looking for. They never can find them either. I think I'm looking for them, but I find nothing. I find a black one.

SPEAKER_05 41:08

Look, this has gotta be a shark tooth.

SPEAKER_09 41:10

No, it's a broken shell. It's like, dang it. I heard how you can tell. If you could break it with your hand, that it's a shell. A tooth you can't break. That's how you know right away. Oh, I'm uh That's what someone told me. So I'm passing it on. Okay. We'll be back in a moment. All right, it is 658. You know, I I'm Are you there?

SPEAKER_05 41:35

Hello.

SPEAKER_09 41:35

Uh, I've been missing messing around with my guitars. I have the two guitars. I got the um the bluegrass um banjo. What are you doing with it? So it's a 1920s peerless banjo, and the history on it is incredible. Um I'm gonna put it up for sale. Uh Sound Systems gave me a price for it. He says, Well, it's gonna be really hard to fix it to find all these pieces, but it's a four-string, like you were saying, right? But my uncle put a five-string Gibson uh tail piece, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 42:11

That's all he could find, I'm sure.

SPEAKER_09 42:12

Because that was all that he could find. And that's the part. So he said maybe someone has parts to repair it. Maybe someone needs this one for the parts. Uh, but you know. So I think I'm gonna part with that. What else could I do with it? Nothing. Yeah, that's what he said.
