Met Rob Reid last night in Cocoa Village and picked him up at the dock for some Donzi antics!
We talked for a bit over some Bud Lights, and then took off for a nice ride down the Barge Canal through Merritt Island.
A nice time was had by all! We watched some Manatees swimming around a while, then took off for Port Canaveral.
On the way back from the Port, we got pulled over by the Coast Guard. No big deal, a bunch of kids just getting their quota. No tickets or anything, even though my fire extinquisher was under charged, and my throwable cushion was not readily available for throwing!
Nice bunch of kids really.
Then onward to the Pindea Inn for a few more brewskis, where we discovered ole 007 blew two fan belts. A bit disturnbing considering there are only two belts on the motor! I carry spares of course, and replaced them rather quickly. I've been down that street before, you know?
After a few, we noticed the time, and I made a command decision to take the car back to Cocoa, instead of driving the boat. By this time, it was a bit cold.
So we hop in DonziGirl's car and proceed to Cocoa. Where about a half a mile down the road, we get pulled over by the Sherriff for no tag light. I guess he had nothing better to do.
After getting the sobriety test, (the old pencil trick) and passing it. I was told to sit in the car. He took ID's from Tina, me, and Rob. He took quite a long time coming back. When he did, he asked Rob if he had been drinking, which of course he had. And asked him to step out of the car for the old sobriety test! He passed too! Why is he doing this, we all wondered. It turns out that my driver's license is suspended, not once, but twice!
Let me tell you folks, I haven't gotten a ticket in over a year. I was just pulled over recently for no tail lights on the Corvette, he called me in and I was fine. I got pulled over for no tail lights on the trailer 2 months ago, no suspension then.
I don't knwo what gives, but Rob had to drive away after the Sherriff's Deputy took my license and gave me a ticket for driving with a suspended license - With Knowledge! Probably carries a bigger fine.
So off to Cocoa now, we are all freaked out over this. Finally get to Cocoa where Rob's car is the only one in the launching ramp parking lot. We get out, and two Cocoa Police cruisers pull up and corner us. Full lights and all!
They proclaim that the park closes at dusk, and we are in violation!
Come on!
We explain that we are picking up his car, ect., and finally they let us go!
By now we are ready to go back to the bar and get trashed, and Rob is vehemently proclaiming how much fun he has had!
He's a sick puppy. http://www.donzi.net/ubb/wink.gif
What a freaking night.
Now I'm off to the court house to see what the hell is going on with my license. I just can't wait to see what THIS is all about!
Guys, stay away from me, unless of course your life is so damn boring that you can't stand it anymore!
