It was beautiful today, temperatures in the 80's, gentle breezes and calm seas.

In fact it was so nice we called our cousins in Boca Raton and they called their captain and we drove down to Miami to take out their fifty foot Sea Ray and go down to Key Largo for lunch.

Still cold. Not insanely cold, but what's the difference? I still don't want to go outside.

Its 75 in Miami and the clubs are in full swing-Im jealous :(

Starting to get bright here-36f

still cold here-but there's a big ball of fire in the sky.

Fuck-a Meteorite hits Michigan-bye bye :(

Fuck-a Meteorite hits Michigan-bye bye :(
it's still up there! as slow as it's going, it looks like it's going to be up there all freaking day:confused:

Shit! Perfect weather again. It was 70F at 6:30 this morning.
Will this perfect weather never end?

It will end when the ocean rises another metre-about 3.3 feet.
Youll have to buy a boat then, as FL will be underwater.

That's okay. I'm on the third floor. The people on the first and possibly those on the second floor will drown but I'll be okay.

36 F and just might snow again.

No snow here yet, but ice and freezing rain.

It is zero degrees.

I hate winter. I couldn't unlock my car this AM at the library and had to wake up a lazy maintenance man to come help me.

Can ya do nothing for yourself woman :rolleyes:

Damn weather sucks. Mid-70s with occassional sun showers. The ocean is a beautiful aqua color today because the clouds are filtering the sunlight.

Can ya do nothing for yourself woman :rolleyes:

LOL, I can, but I won't. The only reason men are on this earth is to serve me.

Besides, unlocking doors and freezing and falling down on the ice is men's work.

Sounds like a hurricane's brewing up, Froggy.

Better lay in an extry supply of "Stick 'Em" ("Looks so natural, holds so well") for that new toup of yours.

Bendover, er, Rendova, go to the pictures thread and you will see why I spend winters in Florida. You will also see that I don't wear a toupe.



I have been told I look just like Bruce Willis............................................ .. from the eyebrows up, that is.

I think you look more like Marlon Brando... at least in this pic, Frogger

Cute but it's not me. I would never be caught dead on a green bike.

Hate to hear that... I was kinda gettin off on admiring those muscled-up legs of yours!

Its beyond me why everyone dosent move to Florida.
If there was a part of Ireland like there-the rest of the country would be deserted.

You;d be bored outta your skull in a place that has one beautiful gorgeous sunny day after the other, Paul. I'd be!

Come to Indiana where the excitement never stops AND we have a nice variety of weather to suit all tastes.

You will also see that I don't wear a toupe.



.

I'm sorry, i keep forgetting about that new hairpiece that looks just like a bald head.
Bet it cost a pretty penny.

It's 28 degrees but feels like 16!

LOL @ Paul. Florida, like most other places people call 'paradise,' is only as nice as one's bank account allows. Believe me, there are plenty of seedy, run-down, crime-infested, backwater-swamp trailer parks in that state, too. They may enjoy the nice weather, but life ain't quite as care-free as our dear Frogger reports from his condo on the beach!

(Ask Nappy what it's like to be broke in a beautiful place like Aruba. He knows first hand it ain't much fun... if his stories were true, that is. He's been known to tell a whopper now and then.)

Come to Texas!!!

Sure, it's 36 degrees and drizzling rain today, but it'll be back up to 75 and sunny by Sunday!! Oh yeah, and while the closest beach is a few hundred miles from me, we don't have any mountains to speak of either.

Hmmmm, now I wonder why the hell I live here.

Oh yeah, it's that State of Mind thing.

YEE HAW!!!!!

Texas-hmm-Ive always like the Texan spirit, your a good bunch down there.

Texas-hmm-Ive always like the Texan spirit, your a good bunch down there.

I have to agree, Paul. I may not be a world traveler, but I've been to nearly every state in the U.S. and I'd never even consider living anyplace else.

Well, maybe Hawaii. I wouldn't even mind being a beachbum there. Now, THAT'S paradise!!

(Argggggh! I just noticed our little hula girl smilie is GONE! Somebody call the police!!!)

Do ya think the police took her :)

Yeah my cuz lived in Honolulu for twenty years-after leaving Canada.
Shows the oppertunities there is in America.
Her sons were all born here, oldest was about 10 when they left,
he now flies his own cargo plane around the islands delivering goods,
shit job or wha....

Man, I'd like to have his job. Met some old hippies there once who bought themselves a parrot and made a living taking pics of him sitting on the shoulders of tourists. (damn bird bit hell outta my daughter!)

Met another guy who'd arrived there from Germany... decided to stay and lived in a cave. Said he got a job washing dishes or something, earned a little money and quit for the next few months until he needed something again. They frown on that kinda stuff there though, so you'd have to stay pretty low on the radar. Otherwise they'd be hollering, 'BOOK HIM, DANO!'

In my case theyd say 'hell hes an illegal,a white illegal, hey sarge, whatcha sposed da do with a goddamn white illegal' :D

Got my hair cut today.
A #2 my head is freezing all day :(

SMW is right, Paul. I don't care where you live, life is much better if you have enough money to keep the wolf from the door.

Nice weather isn't as nice if you are stuck working in a dead end job that you hate and even less than perfect weather is much easier to take if you can play golf, go out to eat, and such.

Dont u get bored enjoying yourself all day :D

Another cold weekend here in Georgia.

It's been cold but getting warmer here I hear. Still nothing like NY winter. So far I've seen about 40 snowflakes and down around freezing. :) I'll take it!

I read an article that moving south will extend your life 14 years, due to not having to live in the cold. Woot! If I move to florida, Id live to be 80 for sure! :D

--30 below zero at 6:AM today, just can not get warm dam cold thats about Parr for the course.

i guess the 9 above this afternoon would have seemed tropical?

am i the only one thinking of doing a Frogger, and heading for Key Largo?

Florida seems to be the equivalent of Southern Spain. Where all the pensioners with a few bucks go to escape the cold :)

Whereas the Canaries is where everybody else goes for their winter week.

Dont u get bored enjoying yourself all day :D


Yeah, right. it is not quite eleven in the morning and I have taken my morning walk, read the NY Post and the South Florida Sun Sentinel and eaten breakfast. I am sitting on my balcony with the computer listen to XM radio and looking at the ocean. Later Froggette and I will go out to lunch and then down by the pool for awhile.

There are a ton of outdoor art shows and festivals down here. Last week we went to art shows at Boca Raton and Delray Beach. Tomorrow we will be going to the Nautical Flea Market. We have tickets to the Florida Panthers hockey game next Wednesday, tickets to see Wicked down in Fort Lauderdale, tickets for a dinner cruise, and a couple pre-paid restaurant visits.

Between that, playing golf, playing cards with friends, going to the shooting range, fishing and visiting family who live down here we don't have time to be bored.

Damp & cold...frozen, slick roads with many accidents. Foggy and 32 degrees.

High temp all the way up at 43 today... looks like a mild week, and it'll supposedly be getting almost to 50 on Monday & Tuesday.

Daytona Beach is near where I was born and where some of my family lives. I haven't been there in years though.

The icicles on the house are melting though:D

It was snowing this morning with temperatures in the high twenties.


Oh, wait, that's what it was doing up north. Here in Pompano Beach it is sunny with temperatures in the mid seventies. The sky has a few puffy clouds and the ocean is calm and a beautful tourquise color. there isn't enough wind for the kite surfers but the sailboats are out in force.

I had the top down on the Spyder on the way to church this morning. Perfect convertible weather.

Rain, Rain, And More Rain!!!!!!!!!

Well today Sunday-was the first day this week we werent battered by Atlantic Storms.

It was sunny for most and mild,about 40f :)

Daytona Beach is almost six hours north of me. There are places for sale down here too just not as many.

damn, i'm glad they gave me a truck to drive instead of getting stuck walking like the rest of you:p

Ya wanna try the roads here :(

It was rainy yesterday, and rained this morning. It shouldn't rain in Arizona. It just shouldn't.

Ya wanna try the roads here :(
not really, i'm use to being on the right side of the road.

The left is the right side-that sounds like a political statement :D

Tuesday:

OK we had our two days of mild sunny weather, we're about to be attacked by the North Atlantic again :(

Up to 62 today with a chance of rain.

44 and rainy today...temp will drop 40-50 degrees overnight with blizzard-like conditions tomorrow...welcome to WI. :P

70 degrees at 5 am in Big D this morning. Expected 50 mph winds by afternoon, dropping temps into the 40s by 5 pm. Welcome to Texas.

Warm and sunny with a light sea breeze just like yesterday and the day before and the day before...

well,this morning there was my 2 girls and my aunts two heathens she passes off as kids plus the 7 month old puppy that looks like a small horse all running through the house.

Rain/fog, etc. most of the week, but at least the high temp isn't gonna dip below 40 -it'll even get to 50 on Saturday, supposedly.

I haven't been outside today. I have workmen putting up steel shutters on my balcony. I have a hurricane proof glass balcony door but I figure you can never be too safe and am having sliding steel shutters installed. I'll be able to take a category five direct hit with no damage.

I have seen them testing on TV different quality of glass for storm protection.
These guys shot a fence post from an air gun at a pane of glass, it shattered
but kept from breaking-impressive stuff.

44 and rainy today...temp will drop 40-50 degrees overnight with blizzard-like conditions tomorrow...welcome to WI. :P

Dear Lord! Nooo, you can keep it, or send it to michigan, whichever works best for ya. ;)

Middle 60's F today, overcast, rain expected.

Has Georgia still got its drought problem-or are the reservoirs filling up?

That's the kind of glass I have, Paul. Just to be on the safe side I had a steel sliding shutter installed in front of the glass door.

A good precaution indeed.

Whats the crime like down there Frogger, especially on say unoccupied apartments, it seems these steel shutters have a double usage.

You can't get into my building without a special passkey, Paul.

Crime is very low on the beach. The further inland you go the greater the amount of crime. It is the same on Long Island where I spend summers. There are parts of both places I wouldn't drive through at night but where I live I feel perfectly safe going for a walk at midnight. Besides, I've got a concealed pistol permit.

Nice one.
Sounds similar to the Costa's, a lot of the complexes down there now have their own security systems, which is added onto the maintenance bill.

Tho in some places gangs still operate, specialising in breaking into holiday homes and clearing them out.

It was 67 this am and now it's 20 and snow! Winds are ridiculously strong, in MO.

as long as the storm surge doesn't wash out the foundation.

It would have to be a really big storm surge. We have a ten foot dune covered with vegetation and a lagoon between the building and the beach and the beach is about 100 feet wide. We have made it through every hurricane since 1969 including Andrew and Wilma, both of which made landfall right near here.

I would be happy to I will put something together soon as I dig out we got nailed by this storm last night all total we have 81/2 feet of snow last night drop-ed about 2 feet now it is clear and 11 degrees, I wish I was sipping coffee in the warm sun looking out over the ocean with a warm breeze blowing upon my toes, but no it is an ocean of white and as much as i wine about it I still like it, I am going snowshoing later today when I am done with my chores, but i will take some photos of my studio and work for all to see. Hey Panzer, how about posting some of your wildlife art. I bet a lot of people would like to see it.

Mid-seventies in the shade with a gentle breeze.

Froggette and I played golf this morning and then went to a restaurant for lunch on the beach. This evening we are going to see the Florida Panthers play the Buffalo Sabers in ice hockey.

Tommorow we will be driving up to Jensen Beach for the day.


I was saying to Froggette over lunch, "It just doesn't get better than this."

I never dreamed as a kid that I would be living this kind of life. I am deeply thankful for my blessings.

Long may it last F

bitterly cold.....high winds....ice all over and all 4 doors on the car were frozen shut

Geesh... happy for Frogger, sad for Michelle. Don't know how I feel about Paulie. How's the weather over there, darlin???

:)

P.S. Mid 30's mornings, low 50's afternoon... windy as hell. Big, sunny, blue Texas skies though... that's the good news! ;)

Over here :)

Thursday: High winds gusting to 70mph. 36f feels like -8f.
Severe weather warning posted for Thursday and Friday.
Snow forcast for Friday-will keep you informed. :(

Another beautiful day, sunny, warm and a sea breeze. Today will be even more beautiful because my daughter-in-law called last night to tell us she, our youngest son and our youngest grandaughter are flying in on the spur of the moment this afternoon to spend a long weekend.

Still in the 30's by day, teens by night and not a single good snow yet, what a crappy winter... or a good one depending on your taste. I at least wanted one good foot or so.
