For those that follow our blog, you know we're nestled in down here in the far SW corner of Florida. So far we've had nothing but hot to warm weather day & night.
Like the majority of us, we read quite a few travel blogs and from all that input I've come to the conclusion that this area is the only corner of the USA that isn't suffering from frostbite. I see that Billie Bob and the OFM are camped in South Texas and have had a lot of uncomfortably cold days & nights. The travelers in the Q (Arizona) are running the furnaces every night too. Our nights here allow us to leave the windows open and I don't think our furnace has come on for 3 weeks.
Been night fishing on the new drawbridge til the wee hours. It's always amazing to this Yankee how full of life the ocean is, even at night. There are many sighting of "large" shadows of fish that can be seen in the shadows of the bridge lights moving below the surface. It takes a little practice and concentration but if you stare long enough these creatures just "pop" into sight. The fishing goes hot & cold as the hours slip by. The stars are fascinating to observe and the other fisherppl swap lies and stories of the one that got away. What a great way to play!! (& NO commercials!!)
Getting all that fresh air sure helps me get a great night's sleep.
Been trying to figure out how to keep the live shrimp bait alive longer. Seems I lose 'em after a day or so even though I have an aereator in the bucket. Live shrimp work the best and there's gotta be a way to extend that. Any ideas?? I even put the bait bucket in the water during non-fishing hours but still can't keep em more than 2 days. HHMMMM !!
Been doing a little park project this week. Helping to finish off a future apt. Since I like to keep busy and have done restoration work most all my life, I volunteered to finish off the plasterboard. Feels good to have a project to do..we're working on it just a few hours per day and it's progressing nicely.
Plan is to go hear some great music just down the street this evening. I love extended happy hours !!
A little work and exercise, great cookouts, enjoyable music and warm weather in the winter definately is a great agenda !!

You do seem to have the only warm weather...although I did hear parts of NY, NJ and PA had some unseasonably warm weather earlier in the week. They were warmer than the West Coast!
ReplyDeleteYour Florida time sounds pretty darned good.
