My siblings had all unanimously suggested I get a townhouse by the River with a dock, but growing up outside a River town,
I knew it was only a matter of time before this happened. Even with a home raised up a full story, which means an elevator for most downtown by the River, then you still have to move your car, and then how to get back, etc etc. For me it's like Florida, happy to go visit and then come home to dry land.
In fact I booked a nice stay with my friends in Delray Beach in January and won't mind the incredible wintertime traffic one bit.
I decided to drive, and staying in nice hotel in Jacksonville. I can't do 12 hours by myself anyone. Might as well slow down and enjoy myself.
Going to a Boat Show while down there, and my friend may finally buy his new boat. I'm there for moral encouragement, plus one of my usual unusual sidelines was selling yachts for three years in Ft. Lauderdale twenty years ago. However since my friend was the guy who got me into boating long ago as well as being a careful researcher, I don't have much to help him with.
He wants a boat with "the look" and I have suggested, at our age..., he go slower and get a family cruiser, something he could use more often, stay drier, etc.
Lead balloon.
This is the land of Miami Vice and you're simply a weenie if you don't have three motors...
If you are going to spend a quarter million bucks on a new boat, you want your neighbors to admire it.
Problem is, that doesn't buy you much boat anymore. When you compare that to a house, rather remarkable actually.

I agree comfort over speed and for me my reaction times have slowed enough that I know a situation involving speed could get me in trouble very fast. I’ve had my eyes on a 232 Grady for a while used but low hours time will tell

Good morning all, 68 going to 74 with a 60% chance of showers. Had a very light rain most of the day yesterday, .30 in by last night. Need to run to Wally World and return a baby monitor as the charger connection is shot and won't stay on.
Drew , great news that you are doing well and none the worse for ware. Take it easy with the clean up today.
Randy, my grass was short, thick and clumped up too, must be the season.
Prayers sent for all in harms way and in need. Have a great day. Ed

73 going to 78 and likely rain. We have been lucky - only light showers and mist and breezes from Florence.
Washington will have a lot of clean up after seeing that video. I bet New Bern is in even worse shape. Glad you are doing okay, Drew.
Took yesterday as a rest day, although I took my wife to lunch at our favorite Tex Mex place, and walked the big outdoor mall for some exercise. I found some identical replacement hiking shoes for the ones I have completely worn out with holes. The schools were closed for the hurricane, so everywhere was pretty busy, even with occasional showers.

Good morning all.
No rain here, the sun was streaming through the windows first thing, inviting me outside for a short walk. After months of finally adjusting to the long hot summer the air felt decidedly chilly. Max's enthusiasm for outdoor life soon waned too. He stopped, turned around and gave me a serious stare that said why don't we just go back inside and wait until it has warmed up a bit. Smart dog.
I can't remember if I put up this picture that I took a few weeks back of a tiny tug boat with a teeny weenie identical boat in tow on a nearby canal. It had everyone laughing who walked past, but doubt it would impress your friend who wants 3 motors Drew.

Along with getting lawn cut yesterday spent way to much time talking to Receptionist, Nurse and Doctors. But got a few answers about my upcoming surgery. Since I may have some SS hardware installed on my arm and shoulder. I cannot get dental work done for up to 3 months after surgery. Dentist is trying to fit me in before 10/10. I need a crown on a broken tooth and a cleaning.
Riptides, I have the same grape vine growing on fence, in woods and in the dewberry patch. Has taken over almost everything. Fence and woods is no problem. When fall comes I chop them off at root base. But the dewberry is a losing battle The vines have completely covered the whole area.
Randy, my lawn looks the same. Lots of clumps. But it sure is green.
Drew, glad you are making it threw Flo with minimum damage. Stay safe during your trip to town.
Thomas, got closest Kubota dealer phone number on my phone. But forgot to call him. :ashamed:
Eric, cute little boats.
Good Morning All.
