  1. Pretty sure Whitney's nip was peaking out during her vote, just sayin
  2. It was a non event in SW Florida, 24 hours of rain and flooding in the places that flood normally, but if you watched local news you would swear a category 5 was coming.
  3. What company are diving with in Key Largo?
  4. Sitting here in SW Florida (in the cone for Tuesday 2 AM as of now), waiting for the mass hysteria over a tropical storm. I am sure Publix and other stores will be out of water soon.
  5. Just got back from Jamaica, logged a few dives. Had a pod if 7 dolphins come check us out on our first dive, no matter how many dives I do, dolphins never cease to amaze me
  6. I look at it as more of a snorkeling site but you can dive it too
  7. Also if you find a breeder make sure they are a member of the national airedale club and local clubs. There are a lot of shitty breeders out there and that is a good starting point to get an idea if they are good or not. every breeder I have dealt with has been a pain in the ass, as they want to make sure their dogs go to a good home, if is too easy you probably are not working with a good breeder.
  8. 1st pic is Monroe (bought from a breeder in Georgia)our current dog, second one is Jack parent old airedale (rescue) 3rd is Gretzky lost her about 6 years ago( bought from a breeder in Canada where I got my first airedale Pandora in 1990) last is Maggie (rescue) lost her 4-5 years ago. Monroe has the best temperament of all of them and we got her from Kynas kennel in Covington Georgia let me know if you have any questions. Great breed but they can be a handful
  9. Now that my Jets are through the first round I can breathe. I will say I am surprised, I thought they were going to be the swept not the sweepers.
  10. This is what I thought may have happened, moving through neutral too fast and the computer didn't react
  11. Got my tickets/room for this in December, 3rd time going. Cancelled last year...Fuck COVID
  12. If you do rent a golf cart hogfish is a great place for lunch. http://www.hogfishbar.com/ If you rent a car to go up the keys at all at mm 25 The Original Square Grouper is one of the best places to eat in the keys.
  13. If you are still functioning after the bars close there is a club called the Oriole Club on Simonton Street right by Front Street. I have never been there but it is apparently where all the bartenders and dancers go after shift.
  14. I have never stayed there but I have some friends who have and they keep going back. It is right across from Lorelei, a little touristy but not bad and they have a sunset celebration every night. Be sure to hit the Square Grouper about a mile down the road, great food, and there are 2 breweries Islamorada Brewing and Florida Key brewing company. May not be kid friendly but you can walk to both from the Islander
  15. I would skip Key west with Kids in tow, at least for a few more years. Key Largo has great snorkeling at John Pennekamp park. Marathon is another hour down the road and not rally worth it unless you go all the way to KW. Islamorada is great, about 10-15 miles past Key Largo so you can drive up to Key Largo for things to do but Islamorada has more of a Keys feel to it, you can go to robbies and feed the tarpon and they have a snorkel boat that goes out to Alligator Reef. Key Largo - shortest drive, great snorkeling/diving, more of a town feel than Keys feel Key West - great time, great bars there are some kid friendly things but mostly for 21+ crowd it is called Duval Street, not Sesame Street Marathon - most town feel of all the keys Islamorada - close to Key Largo if you want to do things there, more of a Keys vibe, tons of fishing, You can't go wrong with any of the four.
  16. Had my bike since March 2020 (got it just before shutdown), had one in my company gym since January 2020. Just about 400 rides. Hardest instructor definitely Kendall Tool Robin drives me nuts with her talk, she usually has decent music and classes so I turn down instructor and up the music Dennis Morton is good but does not put many rides out No instructor is really bad, it just depends how hard I want to work on a given day. I usually look for a decent ride with good music Down almost 30 lbs since I started.
  17. You could always try Hawks Cay near Marathon, not a natural beach but still nice
  18. Just got back from a quick trip. Parks all opened prior to posted park times, usually 30-45 minutes early Masks everywhere, people compliant only saw 2 mask police Magic Kingdom was empty early then got busier as the day went on Got rise of the resistance boarding group, but the ride broke while we were in line and we ejected - will do it next time Food was not an issue, had reservations for most meals but the mobile ordering worked well when we used it Park hopper worked after 2 o'clock no issues getting into other parks Ride lines weren't too bad Most restaurants seem to be opened - only a few closed Epcot was interesting as the let go a lot of the international workers due to COVID, our waiter at Rose and Crown was normally at Narcosis in Grand Floridian, he was not thrilled about being in the UK pavilion. Seems China, Mexico and Japan had their normal workers.
