Those are great pictures cr , Harold is in a DanG jungle 8)

crtreedude · January 08, 2006, 05:53:44 AM

Yes he is - what you can't see clearly in Hector's hand is a machete - we don't leave home without it! Just that morning they had killed a fer-de-lance. Nothing to be excited about, except when you don't have a longer fang.

But I didn't get a picture for Jeff. :(

crtreedude · January 08, 2006, 06:04:42 AM

Oh, and Harold is starting to have a problem with losing his pants, like most people when they get here, the weight just rolls off you at first. He said when he came down a few weeks ago, his pants barely fit - now he has to have a belt on. I suspect we will be seeing less and less of Harold all the time.

If Harold doesn't get in that container and get some of those grits he will just waste away from lack of good food. ;)

Burlkraft · January 08, 2006, 08:30:07 AM

It looks like the Deadheader is doing just fine.

Don't let him waste away to nothing

My house is still in the shipping container waiting for him to send for it. :D :D :D :D

The pics are beautiful...........'cept for the snakes and scorpions

I could do wothout those

When it reaches the point where this actually happens, PLEASE stop with the pictures!! :D

Hi Harold!! 8)

crtreedude · January 08, 2006, 11:47:26 AM

Ah, new expense just got entered into the budget - suspenders for Harold.

Teri · January 08, 2006, 11:57:50 AM

I don't think so... Dad took a pair with him. ;D

SwampDonkey · January 08, 2006, 12:56:29 PM

Maybe that's what's wrapped around the grits in the shipping container. ;D :D :D

Jeff · January 08, 2006, 04:41:51 PM

Its sure good to see Harold in those photos. Thanks Fred.

Fla._Deadheader · January 09, 2006, 12:50:12 PM

Y'all are just jealous;D ;D ;D

One very important thing, DO NOT believe everything Fred says. I took some Grits to San Jose, and have 2, count 'em, TWO, converts.

Things are going slowly right now. Waiting for that Blasted Container. That's nthe favorite saying with Geraldo, my new Amigo, IN THE CONTAINER.

Gotta go, see Y'all next trip into town. Hi ROXIE ;) ;) ;)

Weekend_Sawyer · January 09, 2006, 01:14:42 PM

Glad you are doing well Harold. You might have to set up a grist mill. (did I say that right?)

;D ;D

If the customs guys take a liking to grits then he will never get anymore. :D :D

Farmerdoug

Just don't tell them ya' can make Tortillas outta da stuff an his stash will be safe. :D

crtreedude · January 09, 2006, 01:51:37 PM

Uh, Harold, I don't know how to tell you this.

The good news is that the container is fine and almost everything is fine.

The bad news is that the officials confiscated your grits to use to kill the pidgeons... Someone told them they were good for this. :

crtreedude · January 09, 2006, 01:53:39 PM

JUST KIDDING! ;D ;D ;D

Hector also is into the phrase "IT IS IN THE CONTAINER" - and Barry just called and said we should have it no problem this week and everything is in one piece. 8)

jon12345 · January 09, 2006, 01:56:55 PM

How exactly do you get 'the container' to where you want it, from what I've heard the roads there aren't the best ???

crtreedude · January 09, 2006, 02:08:58 PM

Our roads are really good out this way - no problem at all. It will be a truck from the warehouse to where Harold is staying.

Now, down on the coast - you need a helicopter!

asy · January 09, 2006, 04:34:56 PM

Hey Harold,

When you've unpacked your pigeon poison, send the container to me, willya please?

I need a shipping container so I can empty out under the house!

ta

asy :D

Reminds me of the phrase 'WHEN IT'S DONE'. ;D ;D

janet · January 10, 2006, 01:09:26 PM

Those are fun pics, Fred.
You are all worried about the Ticos and about Harold running into snakes and scorpions?
HELLO. He is with FRED! There is the worry. Hang in there, Harold.
Janet
P.S. Fred, you live in a weird neck of the woods if the Ticos drink TEA???

crtreedude · January 10, 2006, 01:56:23 PM

And when are you coming out to visit Janet? You don't even have an excuse - you are just on the other side of the hill from me... (Hill = 7,000 foot mountain)

janet · January 10, 2006, 03:45:59 PM

Hmmm, Fred. When I get the courage (Harold is obviously braver), when you PROMISE Amy will be there to protect me, and when you train all the Ticos to drink the civilized beverage COFFEE.
:D

crtreedude · January 10, 2006, 04:00:58 PM

I thought we were good until the last one - but Hector will drink REALLY good coffee, so you could be in trouble.

crtreedude · January 29, 2006, 05:02:14 PM

Well, Harold couldn't have timed getting back up this way better - Hector just had a birthday party - more than 100 people there. Basically, the birthday party started about 1 or 2 in the afternoon, and started with chicarrones (pork cracklings) and continued on into the pig, and a cow. I mean a full pig and cow! Oh, and some fish from the river... and cake, and yuca, and you get the idea.

There was always something coming off the grill. Yes - I have pictures - I will try to post them later.

But can you imagine a birthday party that required a full pig and cow to feed it?
