Slinging rings to sticky sweet couples. Should probably do some Christmas shopping today since I’ve procrastinated like a neurotic overworked elf with anger issues.
“Come out the coast, we’ll get together, have a few laughs…”
I have officially completed the drive and exploration of the Florida gulf coast in its entirety. From Pensacola to key west.
here are my boots on the ground findings
emerald coast/redneck Riviera is cheap and rural but cold and very storm prone. Inland a few miles is best but the fishing is good.
Crystal river to Naples is absolutely a flaming shit hole. Decent fishing but is still a war zone from Irma. Not sure why anyone would live there let alone visit gods waiting room of elderly resembling the walking dead.
the glades are essentially no man’s land and is for airboats and dumping bodies. Gators are everywhere
the lower keys are fun but only for a weekend, packed all the time with pasty white tourists from snow country, zero parking and stupid house prices
the upper keys is where it’s at, small population, island lifestyle, best fishing to be had and a split highway makes traffic a cinch.
in other news,
im going to need at least two boats, a skiff for the flats and a center console with twins for the runs to the Bahamas, not complaining

YO. I got a 7 mile run done on the track this morning and finally felt some life in my legs. I've also had two decent bike workouts the past two days. I'm happy to finally be getting myself back in gear, roffl.
Headed to Mount Snow this afternoon.

Here. Hannah decided to come wake me up because she couldn't get back to sleep or find something to keep herself busy. She did not like my offer to take the toys that she got for her birthday last week to Goodwill, since she didn't want to play with them anymore. Errands today. We'll probably get some laps in at K1 because we both have a ton of credits and we are picking up her 1st place trophy.
Talked with Haley about the race suit and what getting one entails. No more festering grudges against other drivers - especially if they are on the team - racing is racing. Making sure that she's working out - stuff like running, doing push-ups, pull-ups, crunches, etc. Making a point to get past being scared of Greg (because he chided her for doing something dangerous) and instead asking him the questions of coaching, asking him to lead/follow, etc. And essentially, her making it clear that this is her sport, this is her team, and she will work to get better.
MIL was over for dinner last night and the suit conversation came up. Wifey still doesn't like karting (I'm not sure that she ever will), but this made her pause for more than a few seconds. MIL pointed out that this isn't "just an activity" for Haley any more (realistically it hasn't been for a year) and that people in the sport clearly recognize something within her ability. And being offered the ability to get a suit, let alone actually getting a suit, is massively legitimizing and confidence building for Haley. She then complained that Greg should have gotten the proofs out at least 1-2mos before Xmas, because that's the best time for grandparents to get these things.
I have until the end of next month to get it sorted out and ordered though.

Quite foggy this morning. Waffles were made and bacon was fried.
Finally shipped my RMSS package last night. . . no ups there definitely isn't any liquid in there. . .
Time did not allow for pictures of walking bacon the other day. Heading to the barns here shortly. Hopefully the piggys smile big. . .
) It's connected to our service provider so it can automatically turn off on peak events.
@gonefirefightin which keys are on your short list?
never let your wife drag you into a conversation before you have had coffee, it will end badly.
First night trying to sleep with a C-PAP. It took a while to get everything adjusted. It woke me up a couple of times when it decided that more air pressure was needed to keep my airway open and shot a turbo blast through my nose. I only woke up twice more besides that, that I can recall. Ruth said I did not snore at all. Got on the scale, in the 4 weeks since the docs put me on meds I have dropped 20 pounds.
Sunny out so I think I might go for a bike ride

I like that area. Plus Pennekamp State Park
I smashed my hand with a hammer last night.
Currently making waffles.
Going to do some trail work soon.

waiting for an inversion fog layer to burn off to go do some trailwork rerouting a small stream to a better happier place than off of a trail
The whole hand ? Impressive.
Was it trying to touch your danger zone?
I've been going to the Keys since before they built the new bridge and it gets worse every time I go. It was magical at one time though. It really was.
Diving is still good.
New pan. Not new I found it in the garbage. Made some supremely good eggs and pork roll for breakfast. Skate park was a cluster fuck of impatient spoiled rich kids. Nobody waiting. Stupid people running into me and each other on poorly maintained bikes. I gave up after an hour. Owner gave me my cash back for fixing like 10 bike's brakes.
