Hey My Steemit Family
I have been living 8 hours closer to the beach than I ever have in my life for about a year and a half and still had not gone out for a proper beach adventure until last sunday. I am only about 30 minutes from the beach is what makes this so ridiculous.
Last Sunday was my first proper beach trip and I had a blast. I'm not even going to pretend to be very adult about this. My main goal was to play in the sand, and that I did. Wasn't sure what I wanted to make, so I just defaulted to a generic face to wipe the dust from my sculpting abilities.
This is what happened:
I used a skinning knife and some of my old clay sculpture tools to shape it up. I used a seaweed for the hair and bottle caps for the eyes.
While I was working on this a guy a little ways down the beach was reeling in a shark, so I decided to take a break and go get some photos.
When he was getting ready to turn this shark back there was some man there hollering, "Don't put him back in the water. I came out here to swim." Everyone laughed as he started carrying the shark out.......except that one guy. There was a look of terror on his face for what must have been the rest of the day.
Back To Sculpting.....
So I put my camera up and continued working on my sculpture when another guy right out in front of us caught a little hammerhead. It was about the size of a small catfish
Back to Sculpting for real this time. I finished the face up and decided that it was a shark kind of day. So, Leah and I sculpted a shark. Well, this shark's lineage might be questionable, but it is sharky to say the least.
Distorted Dopplegangers
While we were out there I met a guy that might be
's distorted doppleganger. There was a guy walking around with a metal detector with a big ole bright red beard. After talking to this guy for a while I realized his historic knowledge was far beyond mine. It turns out that he owns a museum in Wyoming where he presents old guns he digs up out of the ground. I think that is pretty awesome. So If you are ever in Wyoming it might be worth a look. It is simply called Dug Up Gun Museum.
Getting Ready To Jump Out of a Perfectly Good Airplane
While we were hanging on the beach we saw a few people just falling out of the sky. I was thinking how badass it would be to jump out of a plane and land on the beach, and then I got invited to do it. It turns out that the friends I came to the beach with have been planning on doing this for a while, and were looking for someone else to join.
So of course, I'm all about that shit. I have never been skydiving before, but it is something I have wanted to do since I was knee high. I have dreams all the time about flying and falling from the sky. Now it is finally about to happen. I made my deposit last night, and on the 13th of this month I will be jumping out of a plane. If I could only pinpoint exactly where on the beach I am going to land I can have someone standing there ready to hand me a beer as soon as my feet touch down.
I hope you are all having a great day.
