Good morning!!!!

[Buppies]

Drew be careful but enjoy yourself you are going to be in boat heaven today that's for sure. As much as I enjoy working my tractor being on a boat is like going back to my roots. Especially on the ICW

Dave thanks son drove down yesterday afternoon so we will get some beach time today for sure

Dinner was good last night, beet salad to start flounder with cheese grits to finish. Wife and son enjoyed a good wine me my trusty unsweetened tea. Since 2001 my drink of choice must be my English heritage

72 out this AM. Should be hot and humid with t-boomers any day the rest of the week.

Now to get the grass under control.

Time to re-start the job search. I am just half-assed looking. I like the merc work.

Where ever you are, stop for a minute. think really hard about where you are, and enjoy your day!

Be safe all!

73 this morning and headed to 90 today. Chance of afternoon storms.

Went yesterday and visited Sanibel Island. Mainly driving but learned enough about the area to make reservations for a boat tour around one of the bay's. We leave from the Federal Wildlife Refuge. Sure hope boy enjoys the boat ride. Wife want to rent one. I'd like to come back to pool. Son so far doesn't like the ocean. Ankle deep and he cries. Put him in the pool yesterday though. First time in about a year. He loved it. By the end of the hour he was tired but was controlling himself. Forward, back, moving arms and legs in water. Of course all with a life jacket on. Sure beat the screams and cries of a year ago.

Off today to do some shell picking and a boat tour. Really wishing for a better bed. Feel like I'm sleeping on a rock.


Kev enjoy Ohio. Glad you made it safe. Pics?
Came through se areas that had a lot of horses down here off 75. Really surprised my wife.

Buppies enjoy the beach. Be safe and look out for fish with sharp teeth. Laughing.

Drew. Enjoy your sea trial. Only one engine. Though sea ready vessels should have duplicates of everything? Pics?

I always preferred contract work over a permanent job. More security with permanent, more interesting and more money with contract. My biggest hindrance with contract work was my wife...contract jobs frequently require being away from home for extended periods...my wife couldn't hack that.

Good morning, 72F heading to 79F with rain in the forcast. Lost power this morning for little over an hour, showered by candle light and power came back on when I got to work.

The ocean itself looks like a ghost town very few swimmers in the water and then only ankle deep. I know for sure I don't want to become fish food. But this is against my nature as I love swimming in the ocean

68F @ 5:00 AM. Sun and clouds mixed today. A stray shower or thunderstorm is possible. High 91F. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph.

Glad your aches and pains are subsiding, Captain Drew. Good luck with the boat today!

Looks like the fans got their money's worth on that race, Larro!

Enjoy your drywall, David. Will you do the tape and texture yourself?

Dave, nothing like a nice nap to get you from lunch to dinner

Good luck with the job search, Rip.

Hope our vacationers are enjoying their well deserved time off.

Got the hot water pressure washer out yesterday and gave the for sale bike a good washing. From the looks of things under the engine there may be a leak at the oil pump seal, a common thing for this model, one that need not be dealt with right away but that I'll let the new owner know about if I can confirm it. That means getting it running, which may need to wait a day or two more as I change fluids and clean up a bit of surface corrosion on the alloy parts and brake rotors. I did top up the radiator, just to confirm that there was still fluid in it, and today I'll put new antifreeze in it, along with engine oil, transmission and final drive oil, and brake fluid. Hopefully I'll find no nasty surprises on any of the drain plugs.

Enjoy the day all!

Raining here, lost the Direct TV signal. That seldom happens, but it has been out for 10 minutes or so. Really getting tired of hearing about the Greek crisis...

Going to lunch today, then off to measure some windows for replacement, at the wife's shop.

Good Morning. 0900, sunny, 82F with 82% humidity. Forecast high of 88F with 20% chance of rain today, and a low of 72F tonight. Sister and BIL are driving to New Orleans later today to pick up their granddaughter who is coming in from Denver for a 3 week stay. {so Uncle Tim will be hopping for 3 weeks} I'll be doing the chicken feeding tomorrow, and need to get over there before they leave for primer.

Enjoy your day on the water Drew. Hope the boat checks out alright for you.

You guys take care,

Larro

If you are looking for a good beach read, try one of the Doc Ford novels by Randy Wayne White. Good reads, and they are set on Sanibel Island.
