Doing "Retirement Stuff"

We (Woofus & Sue, Rog & Claire, Teri & I) took a lunch cruise in Rog's boat on the ICW to see if any of the poor folk forced to live on the waterfront (for a few months of the year at least) need any assistance during the cold snap. After all, it got down to the 50's the other day.

Looks like they are managing alright, so we kept moving to keep their security from firing across our bow.

Took a few shots from the road of one of our neighbors up the key.
Couldn't linger, once again leery of alerting security.  Note, either something is going on up the street or they were too cheap to get sentinels looking both ways.

Woofus and Sue are safe and sound back in Tuscaloosa where it was 41 degrees this morning.

Helped (well maybe just took photos and offered suggestions) Rog reinstall his tach (whole instrument cluster) for the Nth time.


He really enjoys getting into his projects. I really enjoy watching.

His project is a rare Shelby 350.


Going up on the auction block soon. If you have to ask how much, you didn't need it anyway.

Rog took a short trip to scout out Lake Okeechobee with some of his Missouri friends.
He claims to have caught this bass and said he'd take me up there and show me how it's done.  Stay tuned!
One more sunset.  Clear and mid 70's today.

Stay warm, I hear it is colder up north.
