Slow down the clock

Okay so lets recap last Wednesdays baseball game.
Last night we went to Wendy's and had the first run burger free(we had two tickets). Okay.
I upgrade to a double cheese burger. We each had fries and I had a Coke(the Coke I get for free because I'm a senior citizen.Who knew?). The total bill was $3.16.
So, and I forgot to mention that Aprille and I both got a free baseball cap and nice cotton T shirts for participating in some bullshit marketing survey.
In total we got to see the game in box seats,two free drinks,two baseball caps,two T shirts,and two suppers for $15.16. Pictured below is Hammond Park,home of the Minnesota Twins and supper.


Today is thursday,I started the day with laps in the pool. The water is just perfect now. Then it was off to the gym for the Terminator workout.
Then at 3pm it was time for another round of golf at Eastwood,a Bruce Devlin design. after three,with a cart $25. What a nice track for a public course. The greens are tough to put and the course is well designed to get you in trouble. I think we have to lower our expectations.

Today(Sunday) it's off to Imokalee for the hot air balloon festival. (Saturday was going to be he day but it was a wash). So, as I heard on the news,the festival was 0600 hr to 1200. I left at 930 and arrived at 1030. Guess what? I was too late. The balloon rides were from 6am-8am. All that remained was some hot-dog vendors and kids rides.I was on the inbound shuttle and on the outbound. I was there for 5 min. This is as close as I got to a hot air balloon. What a waste of 2 hrs.
So the rest of the day was a lot nicer. Mini putt at Smugglers Cover. $13.00(each). Really. I can golf for real for just about the same price(with a cart).I asked for a seniors discount too. "Not here, welcome to Florida." I shot a 36 which was 2 under par. "The best I've seen for a long time" says the attendant. The lowest ever recorded was a 31(years ago). Maybe this is my calling. We both got one hole in one.


Okay, now for the best part. Ice Cream. Only $3 for a kids waffle cone and you get 2 scoops.Home made, on site. Does it get any better? I had a double flavoured black cherry and pistachio. Yummy. Aprille had the usual yogurt offering and this time she had strawberry. Just super.

Okay, it's off to the pool with a Ceasar and a vodka and cranberry tonic. TTFN.
