One more trip to Florida starting the end of this week. Gonna close on
the
house and tow the Scout back north.

==================================

Weather and boating are pretty nice here this time of year. Sorry to
see you go. Several of our neighbors have come down with "hurricane
fever" and are talking about moving to the Carolinas. Out of the
frying pan into the fire in my opinion.


The hurricanes, although a pain, where a minor factor in our decision. I
love the winter weather in south Florida and will miss it big time. The
primary reasons are elderly parents up north who need more and more
attention, grandkids that are growing up too fast and Mrs. E's nest that
happens to include two, 1000 lb hayburners.

We also learned that living in a fairly exclusive gated community was not
our style and will never do that again. Too many "clicks" and busybodies.
We both like our privacy and independence.

BTW - Although advised to be careful, I decided to leave the Navigator wet
this winter. Kinda looking forward to sitting in a blizzard watching the
snow fly from the lower helm. Mrs. E's GB is all tucked away for the
winter - she arranged indoor storage, of course.

Good idea with the GB what with all of that varnished woodwork. Mine
needs a new top coat after only 7 months (and that was mostly up
north). :-(

There's an impressive statistic for you: 1,000 lbs per horse power...

Not likely to reach planing speed.

Cliques.

Good for you. I used to work with a very smart man, famous for his
sense and a lot more. One day I asked him why my friends who used to
have trouble with drugs were now discovering Jesus.

He said, "Let me put it to you this way jps, people need somethin' to
do."

Yup.

You and the Mrs. need to do somethin' other than what those who inhabit
gated communities regularly do. Between gossiping and shopping they
seem plenty busy.

Had to laugh at myself. "Clicks". Shows I never took english classes too
seriously.

Mrs.E and I have plenty to do, that's for sure. We just don't want to do it
"there". Anyone that says retirement is boring isn't really retired.

I can't wait for retirement. I've got a lot I want to do...
