Not by this winter's standards. OTOH, I'm tempted to visit a friend in Punta Gorda. :D

If you do, that is about 25 miles north. Call me and I will meet you at Hurricane Harry's in Fisherman's Village.

Hit 50 in Avon today. Stuff starting to melt around the yard, which is good. Hopefully the 'low' of 30 doesn't get that far down because now every low lying spot (read switch rods) are filling with water and if we get a hard freeze we're really screwed.

Keep the temps up. :D We are leaving Friday noon on a Southwest direct flight to Tampa for Indian Shores for 8 days. Super Chief has a place in Indian Rocks Beach just around the corner from where we are renting this year. Don't know if he's there now or not.

Let's meet up in Key Largo. Been down here all winter. I was in West Marine yesterday, and heard a lot of horns blowing. The FEC had SR84 blocked for 20 minutes, doubling up their Ft Lauderdale TOFC pickup. I was told it happens ecar very day.

This ice bucket thing has gone too far.
Now, the ugly girls are doing it.


Saturday night was good. The staff at the Paradise Tiki Hut did the bucket thing and then
jumped into the resort's pool adjacent to the Tiki.

Poca dot shirts. Good times.
