Free day

Well I'm at school right now, during 2nd period. Key West got flooded by rain this morning so nobody can really make it to school.

We still don't have internet service at the house, so I guess I'll keep up the audio blogs for a while. If you can't hear them I'm sorry. The only thing I can tell you is you have got to have speakers and they have to work with regular computer sounds.

We are just about settled in and are absolutely loving it! The house is great and our neighbors are funny and easy to talk to. We sat under their house and talked while a few kids came by to get candy.

The weather is great and the porch is very comfortable. With the time change we won't be able to get home until right before dark, so we really won't miss being on the water until the time changes again.

I'm going to try to trade somebody the deep freezer I picked up "for free" for a boat trailer. I'll have greater mobility to explore all the spots, if I take advantage of the roads and boat ramps that are up and down the keys.

I must admit I'm having a hard time passing by all the stuff people are throwing away. Most of it is junk, but some of it is good, like solid wood tables, pontoons from boats that have a couple of dents, not to mention all the 2x6 boards that could be used to build anything I want. My wife is keeping me under control though.

We went out on the boat to the south side of Big Pine the other day. There are a couple of islands that have beaches and they were littered with stuff. There was a 2" diameter nylon rope that was 50'long. I couldn't pass it up. That is like Gold to the kid in me. We found some cool shells and some hermit crabs that we now have on our porch in a bowl. Bob, Mike, and Larry, short for big, medium, and little. Those are the unofficial names until the keeper of the 'terrain-a-rare-re-um' decides on some "good" names. They are kinda neat to watch while relaxing.

Enough rambling.
