We had a great day with Mike Csoke on the 5 of Feb. He arrived from his home in Largo and spent the afternoon with us before traveling to Naples to meet with other friends there. During lunch and a pleasant afternoon by the pool,we caught up on all the latest from our acquaintances up north(friends and fellow workers and fellow "Largoites"). It was nice to see Mike again it's been a long time. Nice car!!!
Happy birthday to our son.
On the 7th we went down to Naples to the golf super store. We had coupons from Subway(cheap advertising here) for the Aces Classic. We got weekly passes for the tournament for $50,that's for both of us.
While we were there, we decided to take in a quaint cafe supper on 5th Ave(the main drag). We parked across the street from Cafe Luna,so..why not check it out. We're glad we did. What a deal. Supper for two,with a bottle of California Melrot,for the low price of $29.99. It was really good. I had the chicken parm and Aprille had chicken(go figure) in a white wine sauce. Then a nice walk to the beach.
We went to the Lee county gun show with our friends Bob and Janice Sunday the 9th.
That was entertaining to say the least. I was impressed with the quality of he attendees. They were not the "rednecks" I was expecting. It was EASY to purchase a weapon of any description. Including what would be prohibited in Canada. For instance, mace,tasers,brass knuckles,automatic weapons switch blades.
The picture below is on me holding an antitank rifle. That could come in handy a the condo NOT!!!!
Our scheduled cruise on the 12th was cancelled. On purpose.
I'll make it a short story.
There was a $15/day parking fee in West Palm(we would be gone for 5 days).There was transportation to the hotel the Grand Lucayan,$17 each,then there was the tourist tax of $9/each/day on the island. Then the kicker. The hotel was NOT all inclusive.
Have you ever been to the Bahamas. The prices are insane. So...we decided to blow off the initial sailing price to save many hundreds.Too bad, so sad.
Next time you hear a of deal this good. Be careful!!! The fast talking agents may leave out some"fine print".
Ok. Good news. Ulla and Kevin are coming down for 9 days and the weather reports look fantastic. They both need some fun in the sun.
On 14th,Valentine's Day, I went down to Naples the the Aces Classic golf tournament(that's Champion's tour) and all the big names were there(except Fred Couples, sorry mom, I couldn't get his autograph)
These guys are good. We entertained Bob an Janice for a Valentine's dinner and drinks(of course).
On Sunday,the 15th, Aprille and I went back down to Naples to see the final day of the Aces Classic and we had a great time. We were there for almost 4 hours.I wish I was rich. What a beautiful course and the homes surrounding the venue make you want to salivate.
There were two Canadians in the field. Rod Spittle and Jim Rutledge.
The "champions" are apparently allowed to take advantage of golf carts(who knew). I must say,not all the players took advantage of the option.
I now have a Florida fishing licence(oh yea I mentioned that already) and on Wed ,the 12th,we went over near the Sannibel cause way(on our side,so it was free) and had a nice picnic lunch. In the car. he wind was howling.
I was, going to fish but it was blowing so hard, I decided against it. But I will catch a Florida fish.
My knee is back to (maybe 75 percent) I strained it during a work out. Go figure. I should be A1 by Sunday the 22nd.
See ya
