That's it,... we're movin' to Florida!!!

jmepop
out of mine to,and i'm not a good golfer. we play in a tournement on monday. kind of get a little break this weekend. i've played el camino and i relly liked that i think thats a muni? i'd play mini golf to warm up.

Well the rain has left us but it is very cool for us locals. I am sure you will have great time. I am playing Saturday at a local muni called The Links of Boynton. Relatively short but nice layout and generally well kept considering the number of rounds played on it.

Have a great time ans a safe trip.

it feels cold there? i just started my truck it's 1 degree,the truck moaned and groaned but finally started, even it doesn't want to work today. 70 will be nice. leaving today.

On the bright side, its late January and I haven't even dusted off my shovel yet. Not once in my 39 years have I had to shovel cold air.

One of the reasons I moved to Florida was the number of times I had to shovel partly cloudy. Seems the weatherman would miss pretty frequently back then.

20dad:

Don't you be telling me the ol' Dodge Power Wagon isn't willing to work! Too cold...balderdash!

Well helllooo there Mr. Woodsman!!!!
Just the man I was lookin' for!!!
Got a picture of a palmtree?
I could really use a picture of a palmtree, por favor!!!!..and perhaps a mai-tai' too.
It is after all,....ALOHA FRIDAY!!!!

Your wish is my command... A Mai Tai and a palm tree all in one!

Once again,..as usual,..the Woodsman is DA MAN!!!!
Never ceases to amaze me!
I'm printing that pupper off, pasting it to my forehead, and taking it to work with me as I skid drive on the expected ice predicted again, for tonight! Supposed to get down to 11 degrees tonight,..and then if you factor in the wind chill,....Yikes!!

Nothing like walking into the office,..with sloshy boots,...two Michelin Man coats on ( does not do wonders for the visible figure! ), icicle frozen mascared eyelashes,... wind blown hair,...a nose mitten,... facial frost bite hidden behind the wool scarf ( which by the way leaves a not so attractive rash!) wrapped tightly around my head.

Hi,..I'm shortstopmom,..sniff sniff,..wheeez wheeez,...aahhhh choooo,....shiver shiver,...drip drip,.....may I help you?

Alrighty,...no more sniveling. I'm gonna get a grip, put my big girl pants on.
No snow/slush/hail shall defeat meeeeeeeee!!!

Hi ho hi ho,..its off to work I gooooooo!!!


Mahalo mahalo mahalo!!!
Cheers everyone!!!!

Take it from me...the voice of experience...be prepared for all sorts of funny and strange looks from people who you encounter while that Mai Tai and palm tree image is affixed to your forehead.

I get this all of the time...all of the time...the only difference between you and me is that I don't have a picture planted on my head...people just react to me that way naturally I guess.

Here's a couple of pictures from Fungo. It appears he is enjoying himself and having some success catching sailfish. I believe the young lady is there to merely drive the boat and to provide some scale or frame of reference when they need to take pictures.

CD,
You are too funny!

JT,
Those of us who reside here in FL, do not, I repeat, DO NOT, drink mai tai's with palm trees or those silly umbrellas stuck in them.

Those are definetly for the northern folks!

Correction, blue-haired Notherners, the ones we ship to FL every winter to clog your roads, hog your tee times, and empty your Walgreen shelves of Geritol and Depends. You never have thanked us for our contribution to your part time snow-bird population. Thank god there are no thongs involved.

rz,
Thanks. Don't be so sure of those thongs! They need them to walk back and forth to the pool.

Dk just called, he awoke this am to 3-5 inches of snow, has never seen snow in his life! Been out throwing snowballs (long toss) and had his first real "snow day" off from school.

I guess at 21, you still can experience some "firsts" in your life.

I'd laugh about the snow but if they get snow we get the cold that follows it.

Superbowl weekend in South Florida:

High 80's..eat your hearts out!

i left logan fri. for florida it was 1 degree. weather in florida was nice sat sun. mon the weather man says 62 and cold today. i guess he's never been COLD.

Sixty two bone chilling and shivering degrees!

He wouldn't recognize this would he 20dad...

Gotwood, I know a few quitar picking, baseball throwing, baseball hitting hillbilly folks up dar in dem dar hills that would benefit immensely from a moving machine such as this one! One of 'em just got clocked by a friend of mine yesterday throwing dem dar heaters in a gym at 90,91,90,91,90,90 MPH.
Not bad for a hillbilly SOPH who has never been to a showcase or pro tryout peace shep

They don't call 'em Power Wagon's for nuttin'!

The definition of a valued aquantance in WI is any person who has a family history of spontaneous combustion.

It's sad statement on Northern life when you say with pride "This is kind of neat, my nose is froze shut and I can make it whistle"

There are downsides to living in Florida, as witnesseed by many this morning just south of where I live. My prayers go out to all those affected by these storms.

Got,
You knew I was Northern born and raised when I looked at that truck and thought it was one of the prettiest thing I ever saw, and I think I was serious. I need a vaca to someplace warm.

I saw on the news early this am, bad tornado, I am praying for my fellow floridians.

Yes, all kidding aside, we DO pay a price for the good weather, skyrocketing housing costs with lower than average US wages, huge insurance bills both medical and homeowners (for hurricanes and tornados).

So very sad to hear about the tornados. The thought of them is terrifying.

I do, though, in all good fun and with all respect for his many contributions here, want to announce that I have formed a new society and named BeenThereIL as its honorary chairman.

It is called the Hot Flat Earth Society.

Sign me up too! Gimme a seat near the edge, I ain't afraid.

Absolutely! You can even be co-chairman if Been will let you. I have this image of lots and lots of Hummers parked at the edge too. Probably a baseball diamond and when a ball is hit out of the park, someone goes chasing it and....oops!

Hummer? That must be Been's...I drive a 'road salt' encrusted '96 Dodge Grand Caravan.

Someone did scrawl something in the salt grime...don't think they mentioned anything about Hummer...just something rather ordinary like "Wash Me!" and "Get a Horse!"...







Unless I can help it...I don't intend to do either anytime soon!

Hey Buddy?
Can you spare a quarter?
I gotta' ride Silver home.
Gee thanks Buddy!
Now where's the coin slot on this beast?
