Down to the short strokes

Well we have now sold all our furniture except for a few smaller items(lamps and mirrors) and we are now sleeping on an queen air mattress with totes as end tables. I feel like a college student.
I am getting better at throwing the corn bags, and like pool and darts, this activity goes better with beer.No really!
A few days ago,I was out exploring on the motor cycle and I found a beautifully quaint,Hemmingway style bar called Bonita Bill's. It's right on the San Carlos river by the bridge to Fort Myers beach. We had a few beers(just to cool down) and we are going there for Mother's Day supper.
Last Saturday, we went to Chloe's at the Diamond Head hotel on the beach. Nice small venue and the $20 coupon just covered the "imposed" 20% gratuity. He really didn't deserve it but it was nice and the food was very good.
We are cramming in all the golf we can as there is really only 3 weeks left(Booo Hoo). Last weekend we went to Cypress Lakes golf club and watched the girls on the Symetra tour(the stepping stone to the LPGA. The top 10 players at he end of the year move up). Okay, here's the "skinny" on the tour.
It costs $500 to enter this event and the annual cost(average) is about $80-$100,000) that's a lot of coin and the 1st place money for this tournament was only $15,000. You do the math.
That's Cheyenne Woods,Tigers niece. Nice.
The picture above is also from Cypress Lake golf course and I just put it in because I just love the ruggedness. It is actually my scene saver.
Now that we are officially"out of season golf is again ridiculously cheap. We were over at Leigh High Acres Last Tuesday at Mirror Lakes, and we golfed here for $16 and yesterday,the 8th, we were at Colonial and paid only $35 for a truly wonderful golf experience that during season is $90.

DirectTV and ABC(gym) issues have now been been solved. I'll tell you all the details when I'm safely back in Canada.
The tedious chores of cancelling all services and changing our address back to Canada have now been tackled.
I went fishing again and again we were skunked(but so was every one else) and next time we will try early and the day or late in the evening as it appears the fish are not"taking the bait" during the day.
Now that the weather is warming up(to summer like Florida temp....in the 90's),we swim lengths every day.
I'm up to 12 and after that I seem to get bored. Let's shoot for 20 by the end of our sojourn.
Today is the 9th and this evening Dave is coming over for a farewell dinner.
Okay,Aprille has just packed a picnic basket(say likeYogi bear then it's funnier) and we are off to Bowditch beach. It's one of my favorites, not too busy and it has some character.
It was a no go for Bowditch. We couldn't find a parking spot so we went to the main beach instead. Oh well it was still beautiful.
Last night the boys went over to John's and watched the hockey game(Boston and the Habs) and it doesn't look good for the Canadiens now.
This morning (Mothers Day)I played bags by the pool and I actually won a few games. My first project when I get home is to build two boards.
