    blunderbuss2
    (199 items)

    3D sign Jacky picked up by a marina trash bin. Somebody went overboard making this one. Then Almond Grove is my community. "The guards aren't there to keep me in ?!!" Then, sugarbirds covering my soursop tree waiting for the honky to feed the little buggers.
    AH! Island Time

      Really great sign and nice to see you on your terrace you must enjoy, overlooking the marina.
    3. martika martika, 8 years ago
      I love especially the pic of the tree full of birds! :)
    4. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      Phil, make that marina(s) & Martika, there are about 80+ that I feed up to 7 times a day.
    5. ho2cultcha ho2cultcha, 8 years ago
      that's what happens when my neighborhood gets left unguarded too! some honky comes out and steals all the signs, and everything goes to the birds!
    6. martika martika, 8 years ago
      Your garden must be full of birdsong!
    7. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      LOL , Ho2 & Martika, I issue ear plugs at the door.
    8. SEAN68 SEAN68, 8 years ago

    12. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      Kyra, I'm looking for a recipe for sugarbird pie.
    13. Windwalker, 8 years ago
      You know Lucas.... when I saw you holding a sign I thought it was going to be one of those "I will work for food" ..lol looking good.


    14. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      No Gary. Will Work For Beer !
    15. Windwalker, 8 years ago
      Oh never enter my mind ..lol smoked for years .. and quite for years up till a few months ago and started up agian..and the wife's not to thrilled about it,.. but I told her she knows I like a good smoke and a good poke ...lol later..
    16. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      I can't imagine starting again. I often stop & take a deep breath because it feels so good now.
    17. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      Need to move KY to the Caribbean & leave this weather up here !
    18. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      Motor, would you go to that much trouble to make a No Smoking sign ? I wouldn't ! They must have been working by the hour. LOL !
    19. hotairfan hotairfan, 8 years ago
      Great 3D sign BB2.
      I can just catch a glimps of the ocean behind you. Looks like a paradise place to live.
    20. AnneLanders AnneLanders, 8 years ago
      send it to Alan!!!
    21. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      Good idea Anne. Of course it would probably be destroyed with drill holes by U.S. Customs though.
    22. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      Nicefice, your invitation is noted and Jan. will be starred on my calendar so that if I don't have something planned for that month, I will invent something. Also, I assure you that I don't own any "long underwear" & have no intention of shopping for any as they don't sell them in SXM. LOL ! On the other hand, you might consider a visit to SXM in Jan., and don't bring "long johns".
    23. pops52 pops52, 8 years ago
      Hi there blunderbuss, Good to see you're still kicking! Great sign!
    24. akrodog akrodog, 8 years ago
      Blunderbuss2, I see you have KY connection. I'm in heart of the Bluegrass! Shake hands sometime possibly?
    25. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      Akro, I'm in Lexington right now & will be in Georgetown for the day this Sat.. 18 days & a wake-up before I'm homeward bound. Email is on my profile. When do they turn on the heat in KY ? !!
    26. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      Roy, I notice that that site has a map of St. Eustatius where I lived for 8 yrs. You don't see many references to it/Statia.
      Akro, I'm down to 14 days & a wake-up. I go to the Chenoe Pub by a Krogers each nite about 5:30 & have 2 beers.
    27. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      Roy, you must be looking at old google and a past flat ! LOL ! Tire inflated & holding air. Now the pub ! If you are doing a study of KY wildlife, it would be a dud ! More like V.F.W. . LOL !! You don't see patrons backing into parking places so they can get away fast, like many places I've been.
    28. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      Roy the wind comes out of the SE almost all the time, so planes land & take off in 12(0), where the famous beach where the idiots ride the fence. I'm still searching for intelligent life on the planet ! BTW. My shop is at the French airport(aerodrome) @ Grand Case. No sign.
    29. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      When light traffic allows us to break away from usual traffic patterns, I've timed it at 4 1/2 mins. from takeoff to touchdown from 1 airport to the other in a single engine. Hey, it's not a big island !
    30. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      That's my airport. That guy was too high on final. I have some great cockpit shots coming in there & other strips !
    31. trunkman trunkman, 8 years ago
      I didn't realize cigarettes came that big -- must be an island thing...
    32. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      T-Mon, you should see the ones without filters.
    33. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      Guess they couldn't get a square knot in & a monkey's fist was out of the question. LOL !
    34. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      3 days & a wake-up !!
    35. Vintagefran Vintagefran, 8 years ago
      What people throw away often amazes me. Crazy.
    36. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      Very true, Vintage. Of course it was Jacky who said it had been thrown away & that may be taken with a grain of salt. LOL !!
    37. mcheconi mcheconi, 8 years ago
      We have these birds (Coereba flaveola) here in Brazil too and they are called "cambacica" here.
    38. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      Hey, thanks Mcheconi ! This became an issue & now we know. That's about a dozen or more names for what I generally call "the little buggers". I picked "mariquita" because I liked the sound. Most of my Portugese was in popiamento & I've forgotten most of that. So this is settled. Everywhere I've lived from Jamaica to Curacao, they have been called "sugar birds" as I remember. Mystery solved !
    39. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      Tropical disturbance Lucas was downgraded due to wind-shear from tropical depression Jacky. We are are watching the situation closely for any developments. Conditions still exist for the perfect storm.
    40. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      Another day on the "friendly f--king island" in other words !
    41. mcheconi mcheconi, 8 years ago
      "Sugar birds" is fine 'cause they compete with humming birds for food. Here's a ink to my bird photography page on Wiki Aves (Wikibirds): http://en.wikiaves.com/perfil_checoni
    42. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      Mcheconi, I don't see a mariquita/cambacica there ? Oh Windwalker, I did get a T-shirt that says "Will Fix Airplanes For Beer". LOL !
    43. mcheconi mcheconi, 8 years ago
      BB, here you have the species page http://en.wikiaves.com/cambacica

      At the bottom of this page you'll find the pictures taken by Wikiaves members

      My picture of the cambacica is here http://en.wikiaves.com/2021211&p=1&t=u&u=7263&s=11542

      It is called "bananaquit" in English (I didn't know that, found out today while searching in the English version of the website)
    44. fortapache fortapache, 8 years ago
      You do have a fine flock of feathered friends.
    45. mcheconi mcheconi, 8 years ago
      On the species page, at the middle of the page you'll find a subspecies list...there are 41 subspecies, most of them living in the Caribbean...you'll have to cope with the little buggers, I guess LOL
    46. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      Mcheconi, the one in your pic must be female because it looks like it just got shagged. LOL !! The little buggers are eating my soursop now !
    47. mcheconi mcheconi, 8 years ago
      LOL...BB the pic was taken very early in the morning, so I guess she had a busy night, poor thing.
    48. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      Well, it said "gender unknown". Just helping you fill in the info. ! LOL !! Every 3 or 4 months, most of them disappear for a month or so, like right now. Guess they are out raiding everybody's fruit when it ripens, like my soursop ! Gone from 5-7 feedings a day to 1. At least it's quieter . Now, about all these dove - - - -.
    49. AmatoorPikr, 8 years ago
      Beautiful birds and beautiful island.
    50. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      Amatoor, I can only take credit for the pix. I just had cataracts removed & it's like seeing SXM anew.
    51. buckethead, 8 years ago
      Cool sign. Great view. Love your humor.
    52. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      Thanks, thanks & thanks, Buckethead.

      What a View....Life IS Good! N'est-ce-pas? Robert Etienne
    54. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      Mai oui !!
    55. PostCardCollector PostCardCollector, 8 years ago
      Oh! My goodness--aren't you so handsome! Are you not in the USA...I have no clue, I just thought you were. Thanks for always "loving" whatever junk I put on CW!!! I appreciate you and a few other "regulars" keeping my postings current. Cool.
    56. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      PCC, left clk. on a poster's profile pic & you will get what they want to share. In my case, I live in the "Wayward Islands". Quite a ways from Phoenix !
    57. PostCardCollector PostCardCollector, 8 years ago
      I see--beautiful!! No, not to worry--I wan't planning tp walk over for a tablespoon of sugar.. Just was dropping by to say I thought your photo was really nice!
    58. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      You're welcome anytime PCC & always plenty of extra sugar because of the bloody birds. Passed thru Phoenix yrs. ago.
    59. PostCardCollector PostCardCollector, 8 years ago
      It looks like you have a wonderful place to nest in. I am a real homebody, and really don't even want to travel. Seems like you on the other hand have seen a lot of the earth we live on. I have not many memories to keep me compsny about places I have been. Chicago & Phoenix are the ONLY places I have lived
      "IF I COULD TURN BACK TIME". me and "Cher"
    60. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      "If I could turn back time", I might be living in Ardmore, Oakland, Detroit, Kingston, Puerto Barrios, Churchill, etc. PCC. Think I will settle for where I am & have been (Dutch) for the past 37 yrs. We have an understanding. I leave them alone & they leave me alone. It works & they have the safer end of the deal.
    61. PostCardCollector PostCardCollector, 8 years ago
      Sounds like you have all worked o


      Whatever works.....cool!

      Thanks Windwalker. Enjoyed that & have to watch the movie again. Of course, here, I can only cruise so far in a straight line before my feet get wet.
    64. Windwalker, 6 years ago
      lol ...have a cold one for me..later
    65. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 6 years ago
      Did that earlier, Walker ! Ok, ok ! I'll have another.
    66. Rocky22222 Rocky22222, 2 years ago
      thought you were holding a" will work for food sign " on the corner like they do round here ....lol but I was wrong...later
    67. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 2 years ago
      Naw, we don't have people here who vote for a living. Our businesses aren't hurting for people to work. Why don't "Merica's" homeless fill your job openings ?
    68. Rocky22222 Rocky22222, 2 years ago
      BB why would they do that, just stay home and watch for the mailman ...lol
