So if you like the basic design of this website you would be amazed that it only took me (a relative computer novice) less than an hour to set it up!! I used Weebly Pro they  supply you with web hosting as well as everything you need to start a blog/website/full on online business.  The cost about 50 dollars per year and they will allow you 10 websites for that price.  It is a screaming good deal.  I am an affiliate because I like Weebly and I use Weebly for both my blogs and my online business http://www.truckerjugs.com check it out and see if its something you can use!! you can also set up a free website using weebly it just doesn't have a few of the really cool features that Weebly Pro does but what the heck its Free!! <script type="text/javascript" src="http://affiliate.weebly.com/scripts/banner.php?aid=4daccc11cddb8&bid=22140064"></script>   Have a Great Day....Burnie

So I found an interesting article on Shark Defense that says that old rumor that your s'posed to try to whack a shark on its nose to dissuade it from attacking you is not true.  Instead You are supposed to Gouge at its eyes because sharks noses according to this article are actually "quite sturdy" imagine that!  I keep thinking about how our (not so) distant reletives the  chimpanzees have on demand developed the amazing ability to throw their own excrement when under attack.  Hmmm, I digress,  Heres the link:

Im back hard at work hauling cars around the Pacific Northwest saving up some Dinero so I can take another Snorkel Vacation.   If you are interested in trucking and fitness you can check out my website http://www.healthtrucker.com  its more up to date with what Im currently involved with.  At any rate I am definitely looking forward to being some place where the sun sparkles off of the Clear Water and they dont call your boss and report you for taking off your shirt in Public lol ..B

I was bored so I started looking at possible shark defense weapons that may be of use while snorkeling.  This was an interesting article in Popular Mechanics. http://www.popularmechanics.com/outdoors/survival/gear/survive-shark-attack-tech

Ive been home for a little over a month now.  Yesterday got to unload my truck in Bozeman Mt  - 1 degree F thank goodness for my Carhart Jacket.  I am often thinking where our next Vacation will be, tonight for some reason I was thinking of the Solomon Islands, I love San Pedro Belize and the Snorkeling is Fabulous! San Pedro Is very first world now days with lots of westerners moving there.  Lately I sort of have been wanting to feel like Robinson Crusoe  so I googled " Solomon Islands" not because it has anything to do with Robinson Crusoe but because I have heard so little about them, and I figured they might be the next best thing!    I found this Article on best snorkeling Islands at "Islands.com"  and it mentions a place in the Solomon Islands!  Looks intriguing to say the least, and it has a few other Ideas for snorkel spots, some which I have already been to Like Big Island Hawaii.  I will keep this on the Back burner for a while and see what cooks up!  B   http://www.islands.com/article/The-Best-Islands-for-Snorkeling

Getting a tour of the San Pedro butterfly farm
Today Terrie and I went to the Butterfly Farm here in San Pedro,  where they Raise "Blue Morpho"  Butterflies It cost 15 usd. per person and took a half hour or so.  The Girl that did the tour was also the owner and very knowledgeable. The Butterflies are a woodsy Brown Color when their wings are closed but when they fly or open their wings you see the beautiful iridescent  Blue Color, The Farm is located on the main drag next door to the belize Yacht Club, South of Ramon's Resort.  I would recommend  walking across the street to the fruit stand and buying a papaya (this is what the butterflies eat)  as a gift, this will cleanse your Karma and Make for Happy Butterflies!   I hope you enjoy and have a Fabulous Day...B

    • during the last month hanging out here in San Pedro I have my ears open for stuff that may interest people going to belize, when it comes to fishing there has been one name that keeps being talked at various places I have been here in San Pedro., Every where I go one name keeps being mentioned  that is "Ali" Ali, works at Crazy Kanucks bar he is a bit of a legend here as a fishing guide, I was hanging out and I in my drunken state told a couple from florida that "Ali" is the best fishing guide in Belize, he shook his finger at me and said "No" I am very good at fishing inside the reef.  So wtf he is pretty modest too!  so if you are interested in going fishing while in San Pedro I suggest you talk to Ali at Crazy Kanucks bar and set yourself up for a fishing adventure he charges 250.00 usd that is for a boat load of people I think it holds four people and that includes going to Caye Caulker! You cant lose!  So I think at the very least you owe it to yourself to go to Crazy Kanucks where you can kill two birds with one stone and have a good drink with a knowledgable fishing guide and possibly set yourself up for an excellent fishing adventure.  Happy New Year   Burnie

Good Gym in San Pedro Belize

I finally took the initiative and went and found a good Gym and Fitness Club that is only five minutes from where I am staying.  San Pedro Fitness Club is a nice gym with a really excellent Pool (actually more like three pools that are interconnected, it also has some free weights and cardio equipment so you can get in a decent workout. They have two tennis courts though you will have to bring your own Racquets because they only have Junior size racquets, I used the Cardio Equipment Some of it the electronic controls werent working on one of the electric Bikes,  but I still got a decent workout!   also you can workout barefoot! after all the is Belize,  the Pool is absolutely nice!  with lots of places to lay out in the sun.  and this only cost me 15 dollars belize for the day although I think I underpayed because I just read on the Brochure that the cost is 15 usd  per day, which actually still would be a fair deal because of the convenience of having a good gym in San Pedro, where I Live, they also have weekly rates of 50 usd, or two weeks for 85 us,  I think they are negotiable on price though I hope you wont negotiate them down too much because I really want this place to stay in business and running a gym anywhere especially with a nice Pool is expensive!   they are open monday through friday 7 am to 8 pm and Saturday 7 to 5, Sunday the pool only (not the gym)  is open, from 12 pm to 5 pm.

Directions

From the Water Taxi head south, if you are walking it should take about  30 to 45 minutes to get there, If you take a Taxi it should cost less than 10 bux belize, so head south on the main drag that fronts the Beach, to a corner where you will see the road kill bar and a large yellow building, turn right and  head west you will pass a grocery store, called Publics, keep heading down this gravel road and you will run right into San Pedro Fitness Club.  Im sorry I didnt post street names but most of the time you cant find any....Burnie
