  1. Yes an airedale, 4.5 months old now. Great dogs, barely shed. This is my 3rd on my own, my family has had a total of 6.
  2. Downtown St Pete has some great bars. If a good band is in town Jannus Live is a great concert venue. Great grouper sandwich at the Hurricane on Pass-a-grille beach. Great view of the beach and sunset from the rooftop bar.
  3. Monroe continues to amaze us with how well she handles everything
  4. it could be a seasonal thing too. It wasn’t there in June or January but last summer I took my boat down so I wouldn’t know if it a summer issue
  5. I saw that a few years back in Key Largo, but haven't seen it in a while. I think it would also only be an issue if you were to spend time on Big Pine with the key deer.
  6. Just found this thread. I am in Key West at least twice a year, I live about 4.5 hours away. Here are my random thoughts/suggestions: if you like driving, aren't in a rush the drive down the overseas highway is nice (once) some great restaurants along the way I would recommend the Square Grouper at MM 25 if you want to do the drive, fly into MIA or FLL, rent a car there and leave it in key west and fly out of key west. You do not need a car on the island and the drive back sucks the ferry from Fort Myers is a good way to go, takes about 3.5-4 hours, during season you can also catch a ferry out of Marco Island. If you go down on a holiday weekend there are often strippers on the boat heading down strip clubs are hit and miss there, the main ones are Red Garter, bare assets and Teasers I stay at the Hyatt Centric on Front, mainly because I have tons of points that makes it cheap but there are a wide range of places to stay, if you want to hit Duval I would stay in old town, it may be a little more expensive but you will save on cabs great breakfast places - two friends, breakfast club too, moon dog cafe if you are a diver the Vandenberg is a great dive, I use southpoint divers lunch and dinner I usually just eat at the bar I am currently in, but Hogfish is good - it is actually on Stock Island you can do the normal bars Sloppy Joes, Irish Kevins, Captain Tony's etc - tons of good entertainers if you are a microbrew fan, waterfront brewing is pretty good, decent food as well if you need to kill some time during the day away from the bar and do not want to go out on the water, the Key west cemetery is pretty cool - there are more dead people on the island than living people if you are hungover, IVs in the keys is awesome, takes about 45 minutes, re-hydrates you and gets rid of 90% of your hangover Jet ski tour of the island is a good way to see it from the water If you can get a table outside on the rail at Amigos at night the food is meh, but it is entertaining to watch the drunk people try and throw a quarter in the Grouper's mouth at Captain Tonys If there is a decent concert at the Ampitheater, it is a great venue, built last year - I saw slightly stoopid, matisyahu and tribal seeds there in June. only draw back was there was not a lot of shade from the sun They say the only way to get arrested in Key West is to be an asshole or hassle the chickens
  7. Watched over the weekend, Oklahoma tattoo cop is just a plain dick. It seems every stop he makes is confrontational. He is the common denominator. I laughed when he had to let the lady go because he did not have probable cause and there was no K9 avaialble. Not saying she was innocent but he was a complete ass to her,
  8. I heard on a pod cast that: they claim they don't need waivers because they are reporting "live news". There is a minimum 20 minute delay and the sheriff has last say on what airs When they say earlier in some city, it may actually be from a previous day, which is why sometimes faces are blurred because it is no longer news. Regardless, great show to kill time.
  9. Monroe had a tough day of sleeping She’s been awesome so far sleeping through the night and only a few accidents in the house
  10. It’s been 3 years since we put Maggie down and we Just picked up our 12 week old Airedale terrier. I give you Monroe
  11. The worst part of last week was when Rachel said something like “think of your brand” to Nicole. I know the are professional reality stars but that was fucking ridiculous.
  12. Thanks Vito, will need to check my DVR, I just assumed it was done after the hour
  13. As soon as I saw it was Rachel and sister last I knew it would be a non elimination leg. Next week the speed bump will likely be an easy one to keep them in.
  14. Still do not know why the Hip never made it big outside of Canada. Some say it by choice
  15. Could Arya use littlefingers face to convince Robin Arryn to join the Starks (again) or did he find out about Littlefinger's past? Or are they already in Winterfell?
  16. I thought he was kicked off the team because he didn't know what was the color of the boat house at Hereford
  17. Winning the presidents trophy seems to be a curse
  18. Heading to St Pete to see Pepper and Iration in May. Then taking the boat to Key West to see Slightly Stoopid, Matisyahu and Tribal Seeds in June
  19. Full disclosure, I grew up in Winnipeg so a bit of a homer bias, but Byfuglien is back and healthy and they also get Morrisey back. Both key parts of their defense (and powerplay in Buff's case) that have been missing down the stretch. Agreed the Bolts are definitely the team to beat I don't see anyone taking a best of 7 series from them.
