What Are We Up To?

I wouldn’t put this question here if I knew the answer. One thing I do know is that we have been very, very spoiled over all those years when we went to Arizona and Southern California. It seems like Florida is either cold or it rains. Well maybe we just hit a bad year. We love a dry and warm climate. What we have here is exactly 100% the opposite. Alright, tonight I can step outside in my bare shirt and it is still warm – almost tropical. But it has been raining all day and it will again tonight, shall we believe the weather guys. For Sunday there is hope for better weather. So we plan a trip to Pensacola. They have a historic village and an old Fort, which we want to see. We might go to a State Park and do a hike there. It’s about the only place where we can do a hike. I’m still thinking of whether we should do a break to Texas. We’ve been there before and it wasn’t bad. Lots of history there. Anyway, I got myself into a project today. I climbed on top of the roof of that old airstream trailer Pete and Sherry own and started to wash off the green slime, tons of rotten leaves and even branches which had landed there from the giant trees. When the roof was done I did the sides. Lots of water, a big brush and the shiny Airstream Aluminum appeared. It’s a 1984 Limited Edition and I’m impressed about the many smart features this trailer has. It sure was decades ahead of most competitors.  Shoulda taken a few pics of it but you know it rained….  When I was done I was wet as a cat. Changed all clothing. Trouble is you hang up the wet stuff and it won’t dry. Humidity is at near 100%. I’m sure If I lived here all the time I would turn into a duck. Lots of people will be coming by tomorrow. It’s Pete’s birthday. He’s turning 70. Congratulations Pete! I cross my fingers it won’t rain again! Thanks for stopping by!

I have never been a great admirer of big motor bikes. But my hat is coming off for this police officer.

We Are Bound For A “Heat Wave”

After being 42hrs in a deep freeze the deep south is heading for a heat wave. Yup, we are going to hit the mid-forties tomorrow. Hey, I know! Not much of a heat wave but a whole lot better than seeing that ice-buildup at the sprinkler down by the water. Actually I observed the timely demise of the last icicle hanging off that big ole tree. This afternoon we had seated ourselves by the water’s edge enjoying half an hour of unobstructed sunshine. And you know, it was actually pretty nice there, well until clouds moved in from the east letting the air temperature do a sudden plunge into the thirties again. And for tomorrow we even have to consider to drag the shorts out from underneath all those winter clothes in the closet. Hey, I’m just kidding. Over the last 4 days we went through 7gal of propane and when the heater died today I was quick to first switch over to the other tank and then get myself over to where the propane guys run a profitable business these days. Since our arrival here we have spent roughly a 100 bucks on propane. Should another cold snap occur I’d be out of here. That’s a promise!

They Could Be Photo-Shopped Or Taken in Alaska, But They Aren’t!

This is what we expect in Florida… …but this is what we found today: This “Florida On-The-Rocks Cocktail” was created by a water spreader last night.   Yeah…look at all this ice, Molly!   And yes, this morning, north Florida was colder than Lubec, Maine!
