Posts: 12,310 South Carolina | I'm going to bum around for a few days with no schedule. Will the lovely Mrs. be joining you? She's not a fan of the 12 hour ride. Hmmm...Hwy 1 probably sucks for a mountain bike. I'll leave that at home but probably pack the snorkel gear... I'll also be packing OPs paddle boards. Jake, There is a nice running/bike lane for most of Islamorada and other parts of the keys. Additionally, there are mooring balls off many of the shallow reefs. Case in point the light pole about 2 miles offshore from the Islander. You can sail your boat there and tie off to a mooring ball and snorkel around the light sturcture. T. Yeah there's a bike lane, but too what from what and why? It's flat as a pancake.

Hammering drinks down before ten, doesn't make for a very functional afternoon in my experience. Speaking of ice melting, are you up there in that snow-belt crap Karl? We're in the ice box right now. It is way colder than it should be, it should be about 20º warmer than it is. We haven't gotten squat for snow though. Enough to be annoying, and that is about it. Buffalo NY got hammered though! I'm glad we don't have to deal with lake effect stuff here, just brutal, horrible, life sucking cold. It'll warm up in no time though. This shouldn't last much more than four or five more months...
I'm boatless.

[thread hijack] Holy cow was what Buffalo just went through amazing or what!? I once lived in Cleveland and a 10 degree shift in the wind coming across the lake (while it was not frozen over) usually meant the difference between 3 feet or 3 inches. I can't imagine what 6' of snow is like to deal with. I read a report that the Buffalo Bill's stadium is planning to try and remove 220,000 tons of snow so they can host their game on Sunday. That is a LOT of dump trucks. [/thread hijack]

Being a yoot at the time, they sent my scrawny butt up to the roof to clean the heater exhaust so carbon monoxide wouldn't back up into the house. I'm sure it was "lake effect" snow too. It was half-way up the front door. I'm so glad I presently don't have to know what a storm door/window is or how to use it...

WHERE THE "F" WERE YOU WHEN I COULD HAVE USED THAT INFORMATION??? now I feel like a total dumbass... They were probably sending me up there just to see what kind of idiot I could become flopping/sliding all over the roof (thank GOD it wasn't a steep pitch). Ahh to be 14 again...

Steeplechase is only weeks away princesses do what you gotta do, Ricky thinks he owns this one, it's gonna sting a little when you guys get beat by a skinny Yankee white girl and and old fat man... maybe that's why the Karl's won't come and play! It makes sense now.

It worked fine with my Android phone (I'm not making an endorsement...I hate my phone).
