Hey Wayne and Greg ...

I just checked the Southwest Florida Eagle cam. Say's it's cloudy and
37 degrees.

Hell, right now it's 35 degrees here and we are under a blizzard warning.

Better keep an eye on the weather down there :-)

share the wealth!


rigt here at the moment it's 36 and by 10AM it'll be 32 and 40-60 percent
chance of snow until 8pm and tonight's low will be 18...


Cold here also. 8:30 and it is only 54.



You poor folks. It was 32 and sunny when we teed off this AM. But the sun was out, the wind died
down, and the day was spectacular. Got a bit over 40 by the time we finished.

It's also pretty close to halfway between the families of my two daughters. We're also looking at
the Trilogy development at Lake Norman. I really want a place where I don't have to worry about the

In Florida it's easy to hire people to do yard care, don't know about
other places. For less than $100/mo our guys mow once a week, trim
shrubs once a month and do insecticides/fertilizer as needed. We also
have pool people who do a good job once a week at a reasonable price.
They call or EMAIL if there are any issues we need to know about. Of
course we also have good neighbors who know how to reach us, and a
security service. We leave for as much as 6 months with no issues at
all.

For mail we use a forwarding service (St Brendan's Isle) who do a
super job. Once a day we get an EMAIL from them with an envelope scan
of everything received. We can select each individual piece for
either discard, save, or open-and-scan-contents. If they open and
scan we get that the next day via EMAIL. Saved stuff accumulates
until we ask them to box it up and ship it somewhere that we'll be for
a while. Great service, reasonable price. A lot of RV people use it,
even more than boaters. They will even help you establish an official
Florida residence.

Damn, that's way to cold to be getting teed off and clubbing your
balls around.

Thanks for the info Wayne. I appreciate the time and effort. That mail service seems like a pretty
good idea.

That is up in North Ft Myers. I don't think it got that cold down here
nearer the water. It has been cold tho. I hope it warms up a bit for
Bill but he better bring a wet suit. Key West is reporting 67.7f water


Always bring the spring suit. 70 degree water is like 55 air temps,
and
how any times in 55 degr e air do you run around mostly nekid? I see
driving from the keys to Orlando, I can drive to the west, through the
Everglades, via Naples. Is that a nice drive? Daytona is the 21st,
and I
think staying away from the east coast would be smart then.


Lots to see at Daytona though.



But if I do not take in the race, traffic will be a nightmare.



Sorry. I thought you meant the *motorcycle* Daytona.
I went once. Lots to see and enjoy there but leave the wife at home.
