I’m generally a “we don’t need know stinkin’ straps” kind of guy. What can I say?…I like to fly by the seat of my pants.
“That’s Right Ice…Man; I am dangerous.”
Luckily, Mrs. Dude likes to enforce the rules.
Eyes off him for a minute, and I turn around to see him watching The Wiggles upside down. (Am I the only one that finds those men a bit creepy?) I guess we’ve reached the wiggle-worm stage.
Lesson learned, straps are a must.
Please Keep Head & Arms in Ride
In a previous post I mentioned that a rainy Sunday can be a blessing. It’s safe to say a Sunday with bright sun, blue skies, no wind, and 75 degree temps is a blessing too.
Thanks Mama Nature. The perfect weather to head outside for some time soaking up fall…tree hugging weather. No actual trees were hugged, but we did consider it.

Tree Hugger in the Making
To help occupy the munchkins, and attempt to tire them out, a day was spent crabbing and swimming. Luckily, Mrs. Dude’s parents have a chocolate lab the size of a small horse that loves to swim and doesn’t mind four kids dangling off his tail.
Free Ride
We are on a picture taking rampage. So, to help justify Mrs. Dude’s willy nilly spending spree on the new camera lens, we’re going to start a new Dude Knows Best section, Daily Pixels.
It will most definitely consist of pixels, possibly multiple, and we’ll do our best to hold true to the daily schedule…please check back (or better yet, subscribe in the top right corner of the blog).
First installment, Dinner:
One of the benefits of being gifted fresh, local shrimp (thanks Rex) is that you get to handle the full shrimp, head and all.
The downfall is that you need to take the time to remove the heads, but that is far outweighed by developing a sense of connection to the local ecosystem handling and preparing the full beast rather than the frozen, headless variety shipped from Asia purchased at most local Quick-E Marts.
Plus, you get to freak out The Princess!
