Ideas are a way of life!

6 knows what all you all are thinking when 6 spends his days in paradise, just sitting back watching shadows in the sand, in 6’s borrowed beach rocking chair. Let 6 tell you something, 6’s expends a tremendous amount of energy thinking of ways to make a buck! As they say, “A penny saved is a penny earned” 6 will add selected smack to that… until it drives everyone crazy! Here is the unqualified truth! 6 is not cheap, but frugal. For the uninformed, there is a vast difference in the two! Being cheap is when one opens their wallet, and moths fly out, being frugal is being imaginative and creative in developing and executing a financial plan. 

Here we go! In just one short afternoon sitting on the beach, 6 has developed several things that would help make life paradise just a little more extraordinary, while 6’s increases his fixed income.

Problem: What do people do on the beach? As we all know, they sit in a chair in the sand under some short of sun cover drinking beer scrolling on their phones. 6’s solution: Purchase several virtual reality goggles, a go-pro, a smart phone with personal hotspot, several 50-pound bags of sand and finally a beach chair. Execution of the plan: Here is how the system will work. 6 will rent the goggles, sand and chair to people all over the world via a subscription for purchase at your favorite app store. Every morning, when 6 takes his walk to the Sanctuary, 6 will strategically place the go-pro on a selfie stick in the sand on the beach, along with a chair and tent, then sync the phone to the camera, and broadcast the go-pro feed to all the 6’s subscribing customers. The only action 6 will have to perform is once an hour moves the camera to a different location. Think about it, now all people have to do is subscribe to 6’s streaming service, and they never have to leave the comfort of their home. They could just sit their kids in their back yards in the sand a beach chair with the VR goggles, and they could sit in their nice comfort-controlled house with their VR goggles and all watch and listen to the beach while scrolling on their phones. 6 make a fortune and they get the same experience with-out having to leave their house!

Problem: What do people do while on the beach and their Yeti water runs dry or their case of Corona (in cans) also runs dry? 6’s solution: Develop a partnership with the chair guys to deliver those FuFu coffee drinks much like Starbucks makes. Execution: 6 will rent a room from 7 in his new home on Eugenia Ave, and stock it up with all the supplies 6 will need to make Fu Fu coffee drinks, and other things such as FuFu water etc. Next 6 will develop an app and call it Beach dash. Print some QR codes, post them on all the boardwalks on the beach. This QR code will bring you to the Breach dash app. From their one can order any type of drink on the menu, it would automatically tie in the persons location on the beach via GPS. 6 would take the drink orders, make the drinks, walk the drink order down to the beach, where the beach chair truck would be waiting. The beach chair truck would then take the orders to the red umbrella’s (where the chair guys sit all day long), the chair guy would then deliver the drinks to the patrons sitting in their assigned section. Easy peasy! 

Problem: Where does one go to the bathroom on the beach? Solution: This is really a difficult problem, but it does have two solutions. One solution that could make some money the other would provide safety for the people who use the beach. 6 will start with the money idea. Purchase a small tent and plastic shovel, place it near the tide. Execution:  As people need to use the facilities, change them a few dollars, hand them the plastic shovel, they then go into the tent, do their business, and much like a cat, use the shovel to cover their mess. They then can use the giant bidet, to clean themselves. Not sure this version would be used much, but it is an option. The other idea is really is really keeping the beach safe for all. I bet the health department would go for this one. Solution: This idea came from something we saw last year on FFV. We all realize that the little kids use Lake Bundy as a Dunny. Ok but we would just assume that the adults used it as well, but one never had the hard evidence. Welllll 8 let me remind you. Last year two you women (6 would call them ladies but) were walking their dogs while taking a walk on the beach. As it happened one of the women had to relieve herself, so she asked her friend to hold the leash of the dog she was walking squatted and relived herself in Lake Bundy, right in front of 6/7/8. Execution: Since 7 and 8 sit in their chairs on the shore line of Lake Bundy every day, they could put some of that chemical in the water, the same as they do at public pools, that changes color when it detects urine in the water. (BTW there is no such chemical, but that will only go to hold down 6’s cost profile) When the notice a change in the color of the water( or strange activity in the water), they can stretch some of the crime tape across Lake Bundy, notifying people not to go into the water, when the color goes away (natural flushing as a result of the tide) they can take the tape down.

Just a couple ideas, and trust 6 has many more. Time to run Banna is on!

As 6 was doing 6’s normal deep deliberations, while sitting comfortably, on the beach in the shade of the Shibumi tent and comfort of his Tommy Bahama’s lounge chair, the question of life was waying deeply on 6’s massive intellect. Is anyone familiar with the theory of Six Degrees of separation? Simply, it states that all people are six or fewer social connections away from each other! For example, 6 bets that all-you-all did not know that six is actually less than 6 degrees away from the Beatles! Yes, 6 realizes that some of 6’s devotees, think 6 takes some liberties with facets of the truth (don’t even think about it 7) follow this: 6 worked with a woman, whose daughter went to school with Nora Jones, Nora Jones is Ravi Shankar’s Daughter, and Ravi Shankar taught George Harrison the sitar. As one can see that is only 4 degrees of separation. The fascinating thing is this theory can apply to life in general. Here is another example instead of people think of chairs; let us focus on the chair (s) that 6 so comfortably sat in on PVV this year. 

The chair saga, started Sunday morning upon the return trip from Rose Bank Farms. BTW just like most things in life, Rose Bank Farms has had a makeover, (the owners must plan on having an appearance on Southern Charm) more on that in a different blog. It was revealed by 7 that there were no beach chairs to be found, could one think of anything worse than that! Let 6 tell you, 7 has never found a deterrent that doesn’t have a plausible solution. As one would expect the next thing 6 knew, out of the blue, 7 appeared with three “NICE” beach chairs! Sunday and Monday were perfect days on the beach, sitting conformably under the tent in the lavish beach chair, meditating on life!  On the third day, at Rex time, 7 unceremoniously, dragged his beach chair up the beach to sit down and enjoy Rex time on the beach. Carefully placing the chair in the customary late afternoon sand storm, all while struggling to navigate the blowing sand and sitting down. Low and behold, as he placed his bottom in the chair,7 just kept going right thru the seat of the chair as if it was not even there. Now as one may expect, 4 and 6 had their theories as to why 7 broke the chair. They ranged from, the sand blew into his eyes, casually drinking a bottle of Rex at lunch time, the 28 oz steak he had for breakfast. After bottle 2, as one may conclude the truth always rises to the surface! It was “Instant Karma”! As It also happened just at that moment, the sky darkened and the lightning bolts were seen breaking across the vast ocean.  One has to ask, would intelligent people sitting on a wide-open beach on aluminum chairs under a aluminum arch, with lightning bolts all around them have the astuteness to leave? Really, that would cause us to cut Rex time short, after all 7 felt well-grounded with is butt on the beach. After some time (a bottle and half of Rex) the sky cleared, and all we had to deal with was the sand storm, a broken chair and yes how could we forget the staple beach delicacy “MSC&C” melted sand cheese and Crackers. As it was approaching 7 PM, we all figured it was about time to call it a day on the beach and head back to the villa and open a new bottle of Rex. As some to the astute reads my have figured out, we still had the same issue of the broken chair! Wellll 8, you don’t have to worry yourself. On the way back to the villa, as you all know we have to pass several dumpsters. The first stop 7 dumped the old chair in the dumpster, and low and behold, there was a nice red (or at least at one time) folding chair to replace the broken green chair. Like pennies from heaven, our PVV was back on schedule. When 6 arrived back at the villa, the first thing 6 did was take his bucket hat off, and oppppps, 6 had forgotten to take his beloved 15-year-old sunglass off of his hat, and would you not know it, they fell on the floor and the right Lense cracked in half. How disappointing! It was “Instant Karma” The next day was totally uneventful, until 7 was walking back to the beach after eating his lunch. He made the terrifying proclamation; 7 noticed a car parked under a villa. It all came in to focus now, we had to return the chairs that were found on the first day, this was really not such a bad thing because we only had two Rex times left, and believe it or not, there were two old raggy soccer chairs under our villa. Immediately, 6 and 7 jumped to our feet and ran the two remaining chairs back to the villa with the car parked under it, in a hope that we would not affect the new people’s vacation in paradise.  We carefully placed the two remaining chairs under the villa, picked up the two soccer chairs, and headed back to the beach! As luck would have it, 7 decided to do some more dumpster diving, and would you believe, found 3 chairs perched atop an empty case of Corona cans in the dumpster!  The last two days of Rex on the beach was saved! As a side note 7 was supposed to carefully position those 3 new chairs under our villa, so we can have Rex time on FFV. In other words, hide them so no-one else can use them! 

Back to 6 degrees of separation, as one can see this happens with people as well as chairs! 

Steal a chair, break a chair, find a chair, return a chair, find a chair! 4 degrees on the Beatles, 5 degrees on chairs! Go figure! Never forget “Instant Karma” for we all shine on!

6 just notice the time and it time for Banna!
