This ain't Chasing 80!!

After a fairly mild start to this winter season February has really kicked it up a notch! We had another 5+ inches of snow today and I'm getting a bit tired of all this. The forecast 2 days ago was for upper 30's and rain but (surprise) the weather dudes got it wrong again. I know, I know...it could be worse. We're not in Boston after all but this is a bit much for me, I'm ready do be done with winter. Folks are even complaining in the Key's because it's only in the 60's and windy...aww shucks.

2/21/15 totals
The Thompson Road Cabana Club is officially closed today. Note the diving board for the accumulation for the week.

Closed for the season
The real reason for this post is to point out a few new features we added to the blog. If you look at the bar on the right of this page you can see the following.

  1. Added a link where you can enter your e-mail address to get notified when we add a new post. This way you don't have to just check the blog to see if there is anything new.
  2. Added a link called Follow Us. If you click on the link you will be taken to our Delorme page with a map showing where we have been and where we are now. I left the In Reach on when we left the boat and it looks like it lasted about 4 days before going dead. Hopefully the boat didn't move around as much as it looks like on the map. I can only assume the signal is degraded a bit by being under a metal roof. It should be more interesting as we begin to travel.
  3. I also created a map that shows where we have been. If you click on the map it will open in a larger page where you can click on a marker to get info of where we were and when. I'm looking forward to filling up the eastern US with our markers.
So that's about it for now. Pretty sure I haven't done 2 posts in the same week when not traveling. Not much else to do on these snow days. I'll leave you with a few pics from our trip to the Key's (where it's now only 70 degrees). The first 2 are from the Sunset Grille in Marathon.

Next is another attempt to be artsy. This is a shot at the Green Parrot bar in Key West. We were there for Jill's birthday and Glen David Andrews from New Orleans was playing. The artsy part was of his bone resting on the table, I only later noticed the picture of Fats Domino keeping an eye on them.

Do you see Fats?
Until next time....
