Ok, so today is my birthday and I am pretty old in years – not ancient but old. \u00a0We went out to Sawgrass Park and walked a couple of miles – it was nice and we saw an Armadillo, A few Alligators and the usual ducks and fish. \u00a0Yesterday, we rode our old style cruiser bikes down Pinellas Trail for 5 miles and of course that meant riding 5 miles back. \u00a0This was accomplished with little fanfare. \u00a0We worked at Tampa Bay Watch the first week and had a good time doing this. \u00a0We intend to work some more but later in Feb.<\/p>\n
We have been in St. Petersburg, FL now for about a month. \u00a0The weather has been mostly good with clear skies and moderate to warm temperatures. \u00a0So far we have caught 6 squirrels, who are intent on robbing the Macadameon Nut tree of its mother lode, and deposited them more than 10 miles away – Martha says if they are that far they will never make their way \u00a0back to the property. \u00a0We have done some work on Martha’s place like cleaning the\u00a0eves trough, trimming the \u00a0beaugavilla and the pool work. \u00a0 The weather has been very dry and all the bird baths are dry as a bone. \u00a0Sundays are our days of rest and\u00a0replenishment and we attend the SunCoast Cathedral on 62nd Ave where we enjoy the services.<\/p>\n
The trip down in our Truck Camper was non-eventful and we pulled our Honda Civic on a car dolly. \u00a0The car pulls real easy but you cannot back up with it attached so this leads to some exciting one way trips while getting gasoline and other necessities like camping places. \u00a0We stopped twice on the way down – once in Southern Tenn and once in North Florida and enjoyed the restful,\u00a0leisurely\u00a0trip down.<\/p>\n
I found a good deal on a new ham VHF radio and bought an antenna at a local hamvention. \u00a0I have been having a good time contribuiting on Eagle Net and other nets using the new radio and my older HT dual bander. \u00a0I am also utilizing Echolink to talk with people up North. \u00a0SAM & I are going to the Orland Hamsphere this Friday and will stay just the day, unless we find something real interesting to do over there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
