You my friend suck.  A customer of mine shares my last name.  His parents have a canal front home on largo. I keep suggesting i go down there and show up at the sea wall, i mean we're family.

76° in the outbanks,NC today going home to CT tomorrow should be 18° at night. At least I don't have to run the A/C Ras

"Cold front" (Saturday) - Are these Florida people serious? Was my first thought.   

TonyG13

It'll only be "chilly" here on Saturday. Doesn't get cold until Monday :-)

@reneechris14 I'm happy to run my air!  Will actually be able to open the windows up and get some fresh air in!

PickleRick

I appreciate seasons, i just dont appreciate the crappy ones that occure between mid fall and mid spring.  The rest of the seasons are awesome.

Definitely winter here. Deer hunting. 20F this morning.

Handymans342

Whats that? An air rifle?? LMAO

Willhound

Yeah.. ..my pea shooter is broken. 🙄
Shotgun season here. 870 Remington with shorter deer barrel and Red Dot scope.

PickleRick

Id eat more deer meat if it was 100% deer jerky

Handymans342

The wild animals outside are cold. Let them in, warm them up to about 350

We're officially snow birds this year. Instead of enduring the entire winter in the upper mid west (east central Iowa), we'll be in Venice , Florida for all of Jan., Feb., & March.
For what it costs to own & maintain a boat, we'll spend all winter basking in the sun while all our compatriots are up here freezing their a$$es off!

Good for you glass!

Handymans342

@Glassguy54 we will have to get together 

PickleRick

Venice is a beautiful little town! Is the food at sharkeys pier worth the stop?

Glassguy54

@PickleRick, yeah, Sharkey's isn't too bad, but there is better to be had. What I'm really looking forward to is being able to go to a fresh fish market and getting fresh grouper, wild caught gulf shrimp, Spiny lobster and Triple tail. I'd love to get some Robalo(Snook) but it can't be sold commercially and can only be caught certain times of the year. Another plus is we are close to Sarasota, so plenty of cultural activities.

Guess not

Glassguy54

Oops, Sorry Handy. Lot on my mind. Once we get settled in down there, we'll hook up and have a beer or two. It would be nice if you had a boat we could cruise around on a bit!!!

Handymans342

We can rent one

Glassguy54

What's available for rental? We rented a 23ft Nautic Star dual console  W/150HP  Yamaha outboard from Siesta Key Watersports on Stickney Point Rd just before you go over the bridge, and it was a DOG!!!! We went with them because it was about the only place that allowed you to go out into the gulf.  Must have had about 3" of algae on the hull and took forever to get on plane. A far cry from our 246 Captiva with 300 HP -350 MAG MPI, Lenco trim tabs, no bottom paint, always stored in climate controlled bldg, winter-summer, washed down and chamois'd after every dip. She was babied! And she responded like a champ every time. We miss her, but we are paying for our Grand-daughter's college (She has lived with us since she was 14) and that became our number one priority.

Glassguy54

Holy $hit, Handy. I was looking at the stats and you joined more than a year after me and you have 7,684 posts to my 554????!!!! Hay Suess! Don't you have more important things to do? LOL!
