Got one for sale, want to buy it???
ONE of my thoughts upon rebuilding it was to see/tour Florida, well so it seems my wife pulled a b'day surprise on my about 8 days ago, and so she saved up some bux and so we drove south to Key West, and I had a beer at Hemingway's OEM bar, not the new one, and went through his house, viewing the famous 6 towed cats.....and so through the swamps from two directions.....the Alligator alley/Tamiami trail, and rt 27 from Orlando.....the Trail ended at the Gulf coast in Naples, paid a buck for an hour to park in this little turn around of 6 slots in the middle of MEGA BUX row of houses.....smallest maybe 4000' worth of house, and so the beach and water was PURRFECT.....and so we drove up the west coast and made it home this afternoon.....
we made the trip in her DD/econobox....and stayed at motels.....but we got ~30 mpg instead of 8 mpg, and we saw most everything we seriously wanted in about 8 days, instead of 3 weeks...
it was a TOTAL AND COMPLETE SURPRISE to me, announced with a B'day card from my totally and completely purrfect wife.....
so the card has a pix of a jar of sand....under it printed 'Life's a beach'....
inside I sez 'Wishing you blue skies, WARM sands, and Sunny days.....
then she added in KEY WEST.....
the little critter managed to save up $$$$$$ and so we left town on 4/4 and drove ourselves silly for some 8 daze.....
I drank a beer at Hemingway's OEM bar.....the one he drank at, not the modern version.....and saw MILE 0 of US1......and we ate dinner watching the sunset over Cuba last Sat night.....a week ago....took 50 billion pix....when wife gets energy enough to edit/select all them, maybe I can post a few....
Hell of a b'day present, I must say....little critter done GREAT!!!!!!:smash::smash:
