Sorry to have been so lazy as to not keep you all informed but quite frankly the only thing I could have reported up until now is that is has been raining. A lot. In fact they are calling it the 100 year rain event. Some places just east of us got 22 1/2 inches in three hours on Thursday. Streets have caved in and storm sewers are backed up because in florida there is really nowhere for that much water to go.The floor of our screen room attached to the camper was underwater for days.
Today it is sunny and warm. Yay! We had the boat launched on Thursday (yes, in the rain) with a new shaft adorning the underside. The shaft attaches to the propellor, so I am glad it is there. I don't quite know why we needed a new one except the mechanic here suggested to Darryl that it would solve our "clanging" problem from last spring. This is the forth suggestion the mechanic has made regarding the problem. The first three didn't work, and I am quite sure the money we paid him is putting his oldest child through college. At this point all I can do is nod my head in agreement and smile. They are supposed to take the boat out for a test drive on Monday. I will most definitely report back the results...
This morning we were off to the farmers market. Fresh corn -7/$1; sweet navel oranges -7/$1; pink grapefruit - 7/$1; and DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!! ---HONEYBELL ORANGES!! My day could have ended there. But it didn't. Right now I am getting ready for the Saturday night cruiser potluck. Our buddy Moose will be grilling the chicken. He hasn't changed a bit, except for the fact he gave us what many might consider, for him, an enthusiastic greeting when we arrived. He waved. It's a first. I'll take it!
Time to shuck the corn...
