Don't Feed The Gators


 Florida is a very interesting place. All of the roads here in the greater Port St. Lucie area are laid out like a grid. All right angles. Not too many winding roads like RI. Wherever we are, we seem to come across a road that can easily connect us back to the rv park. Lagre shopping plazas pop up every few miles. Everything from groceries to gambling. Churches. A number of  There's a lot of open space here. Giant fields with tons of cows. Funny thing about the cows. They are everywhere and the fields seem to go on forever.  Yet, not a barn in sight!  Where the hell do they go? More important.  Where did they come from?👽🕳

We have found a lot of cool places driving around. Getting to know our surroundings.  Picking up geocaches along the way. Great trails to beaches and ponds. Small wooden bridges over  trenches into wildlife preserves. A lot of wildlife. No gator yet. Alot of birds. Big birds! Pelicans are kind of everywhere.  And peacocks. Yes peacocks. They run wild around here. Its pretty cool. 

We saw Maddy and Breanna last week. They were in Panama City all month visiting with Breannas family.  They were 8 hours away from us so we met them half way. And that was Cedar Key. That was a groovy little town. The kind of place where the only gas station was 40 miles from the Keys on the main land. So we tooled around there for a while. Geocaching of course. Hopped on a boat to see some manatee, which we did. Maybe next time, we will float with them.  They just kinda float. Its pretty cool. Had what we called Thanksgiving Dinner at Chili's.  Its funny. We come all the way down here,  and i still have dinner with family. 😆

It was a great day and was so happy to spend it with the Girls. Maddy and Breanna are so in love. Its fun to watch. How sweet they are. How they look at one another. Im so happy Maddy has found that kind of love. And im glad its Breanna that gives her that love. 

So the fucking car started acting up on the ride home from Cedar Key. Got to get that looked at. Nothing but trouble ever since we got that damn thing. 

Thanksgiving day was very low key. Just me and Jess, Simon and PoePoe. I got two big ass prime rib roast steaks from the restaurant.  Have i mentioned that they love me? They do.  Jess made sausage stuffing, mash potatoes, broccoli and cheese cake. We watched the Dog Show as we do on Thanksgiving. Jumped in the pool for a while. Played some music. Just a mellow, low key day.  I am thankful for You, Baby!

On to December.

We're at it again

 Hi Gang,   So, I had a few people over the last week or two ask me if i was going to blog again. Life buzzed by so quick this summer and honestly, I forgot about it. . So with Too Much 👏👏Time on My Hands, i thought what the hell. Let's write.  After we got back up north, we set up camp in a really groovy place. Ill cover that in a separate post. I managed to go back to my former job cooking at a certian missile defense plant. Matt and I crossed paths like people do nowadays, and back to work i went. It just worked out for everyone involved. I was able to  make money to put gas in The 2112, and help out Matt by doing what i do. Cook. Foodservice is a hard business to keep workers, nevermind good workers.  Outside of the few people i kept in touch with,(Gonz, Sarge and Nicole) noone knew i was coming back.  I spent two solid weeks just laughing at peoples reactions to seeing me again. Hilarious! So thanks Matt for bringing me back into the fold. I really appreciate it, man. Had a

Getting Settled

 At the time of this writing, i am sitting on the beach, under a palm tree. Exactly where i wanted to be. Its a beautiful Sunday afternoon, probably 85 degrees.  We have been here for two weeks now, and man am i happy we did this.  So we had a few days off together to do the unpacking.  For two people who basically got rid of most of their stuff, we still have a lot of stuff.  We put things where they will live for the time. A lot of it won't have to get packed when we go back, so thats a cool thing.  Until things start to fly while we are driving. 😄  The kitchen is small. Tiny fridge. Small pantry. Plenty of cabinet space. Not a lot of counter space, but i make it work. Jessica bought me a new grill, so ill be cooking outdoors most of the time.  The awning is out and the lights are up. It really feels like home.  We've met some cool people. Nice neighbors.  The park is just...groovy. There's a great vibe here. Very mellow. A perfect place for an aging hippie.  Oh! Let me

O-22

 Hi everybody.  Sorry I haven't posted the rest of the story.  Been very busy since we got here. So here it goes.  We ended up having neighbors in the Cracker Barrel that night. Nice older couple with this stellar van. Pretty tricked out from the looks. We talked them while another bus pulled in. I must say, rv people are very friendly.  So far, I've noticed that its a  community that helps one another. Offering advice. Just stopping to talk. Find out where people are from and where they are going.   From Cracker Barrel in north Columbia was going to be 500 miles. 10 hour drive. We gassed up, got food and away we went. Not really too eventful.  It was Saturday, so traffic was light. The drive was nice. Tires really made all the difference.  So smooth.  And we just drove. South Carolina. And drove. Georgia. And we drove.  Suddenly,  we came upon this sign that said, Welcome to Florida, The Sunshine State. We looked at each other giggled.  "Hahaha! We fucking made it, Baby!&
