Well Thursday was a very busy day, got up early, went to Perkins for breakfast, got there at 7:55. At 8 in walked 65 + people for breakfast. It was some group with their last get together for the year. I got my order in first so it wasn't a problem, came back and did email, watched regis and then did my bike ride all before 10:30. There are many friendly people here who like to talk. A lot of young people around here visiting their grandparents. Nice views. Anyhow, after 1 I decided to put the new outdoor carpet on the steps. The old carpet was pretty worn down. Anyhow since I have never done this before or even close to it, I read all the instructions several times. And with the able assistance of my Dad-in-law we proceeded. Lessons learned, do it by yourself and don't listen to advice. Get better equipment, wear old clothes and gloves. Do not assume a brick is standard or a brick wall or step is straight. Better yet, hire someone who knows what he is doing. O Daniel. Anyhow it came out OK, not great, but OK. I ran out of glue for the carpet for the 2nd step so we just cut the carpet using a better method. This is where I discovered the bricks were not uniform. And we used soap to mark the cutting line. See previous remarks concerning equipment. So after throwing my shirt into the wash, I changed into another shirt and off we went to Shrimp Shack for dinner. That was really good and no Key Lime Pie. So came back did another bike ride (3 for today). So I was ready for bed. And now I'm packed to leave for Home tomorrow, leaving 85 and sunny for 32 and rainy.
O well, that's it from Florida unless my in-laws hide my keys like they have threaten to do. Leaving at 5 AM, ciao
