"Real views"? Wait till you see the pics that Terrie took at the beach today. She said "all right......I got a couple of shots for the guys on the web site!" ;D I was busy checking my eyelids for holes. :huepfenlol2:

Jorge,
Use it to your advantage..... When you buy Martha the helmet more then likely there will be a piece of chrome that you'll have to buy for one of your bikes at that time. :2vrolijk_21:

You know it's going to happen...You know the saying...if momma's happy everyone is happy, if momma is sad everyone is sad...momma has seen the light and it comes in the form of Nolan!
Good Luck!
I dropped my camera a couple of times yesterday, now we're all coming out kind of short and squatty. This thread has turned into more of a vacation thread than a ride report. :nixweiss:

We just had to go visit when I heard about that place. But I'm sorry to report that they'd not let us take any pictures. :nixweiss:
Tomorrow we're off for a "day of adventure" package that includes parasailing, reef snorkling, jet skis, bannana boat, breakfast and lunch, catamaran cruise and I think a couple of other things that I've forgotten. Don't worry you guys.....we're taking plenty of 5 Hour Energy with us. :huepfenlol2:
And just remember the sun screen when sportin the birthday suit! Don't want anything vital getting as burnt as Jocks face....... :sauer005:
Nobody needs burnt up delicates!
Next visit???

Wow, those people in that link should put their clothes back on. :'(
:coolblue:
In my experience that has always been the point!
And exactly what is your experience on this topic? :huepfenlol2: :huepfenlol2: :2vrolijk_21:
Guys, JC asked me to let you guys know that won't be posting for a couple of days. He had a minor jet ski mishap and is trying to arrange new flights to get home early. He got a bit hurt but is okay.

JC you are a badddd man. I have got to try that 5 hour energy drink. I am tired from just reading the thread.
It looks like you and Terrie are having a great time.

Terrie gettin ready to go snorkeling. She felt a little let down......said the corral beds here are nothing compared to those that she's been to in Hawaii and Mexico....with all the bright colors, bright fish, etc.
Ya know.......she's still got it goin on for being 50 years old! :2vrolijk_21:

Easy big boy...your hurt, remember.... :huepfenlol2: :huepfenjump3: :huepfenjump3: :huepfenlol2:That's all a part of physical therapy. ;) ;D
Next was our parasailing trip........it was a blast!Is that the "deer in the headlight" look you got there JC? :D
Yes, he dunked us in the ocean a couple of times. I still can't get over how warm that Atlantic is......just incredable...
Well, after a rough week in So. Fla. we spent the day today in the hot tub and pool.........had it all to our selves..........JC,
Gotta love what Steve D said via email:
An old man convalescing in Florida, he should blend right in! :huepfenjump3:
JC,
I'm glad to see that you're doing better and that you're making the most of it.

They've got plenty of golf carts down here, too. Some of them have big huge off road tires and wheels.....they take their gold carts pretty serious down here. ;D Let's see, my observation..........Florida has more boats than cars, then more golf carts, then cars.
Seriously, we were surprised that they don't have many bicycle trails down here......nothing like Calif. Oregon or Wash. This place would be ideal for it.......all flat and straight and some very scenic areas to drop a path down through. Of course I guess there would be a lot more encounters with the gators if they did that. We haven't even saw a gator or flamingo yet. But we did see three green parrots on our journey to K-Mart across the street yesterday and I saw a few other exotic looking birds down in key west. One little guy looked like he had long fur on his head instead of feathers.
Oh yea.....and we saw a sign that said Keys deer crossing down on one of the key islands. My question would be how do they survive in the swamps? Where would they get fresh water to drink and what do they eat to sustain life? And how is it that the gators don't get them? One of the So. Fla. guys probably knows the answer to those questions. :nixweiss:
Thanks Chief.........I knew somebody here woud know. Yes, they did have a deer fatality count but I don't remember what the count is.
And I found it surprising that you mention that they like cigarette butts. I was on a search and rescue team for a couple of years and deer used to come into our camp, begging for food. They would always get into the butt cans (old coffee cans that were used for the smokers) and eat all the butts......so we'd have to keep an eye on them.
Pumkinownerswife.........Key West is a great place to visit but be careful around those jet skis......they're dangerous. :huepfenlol2: Seriously, it was a great place and we look forward to our next visit. If you two happen to be on your way back north today, get in touch with us.......stop by for dinner tonight and meet some of the other members of this site. I'll send a PM with my number.
Sorry to hear about
Your waverunner mishap my daughter and I are in key west now the water was very ruff today
Helen
Where is Miker's beer! Someone...... quick!
The picture was taken by the Crystal (waitress) before she brought the order....but don't worry he had 2 o maybe 3? :beerchug: :beerchug:
Helen......we were waiting for you last night.....missin' u!!! :(
Whew! thank goodness!
Looks like it was a successful trip even though they were forced to make lemonaide out of lemons...Could have been worse...Good luck getting home and to your recovery.
The first time I've been on the puter since I got home. I'm not sure if it was the plane ride or what, but I got a lot worse.
I've been to the Dr. and he's referring me to the othropedic surgeon (the same on that put my aritificial hip in) and I'll be going there this Friday. I went to the chriopracter today. He told me that my lower spine and tail bone are all jammed up twisted (I'm not surprised at all........that's exactly what it feels like). Anyway, he was able to relieve some of the pain on one side, before I left there. I'll see what the Orthopedic doc says on Fri.
That sucks big time. Hell, I'm not even sure if I'll still have a job at that time.
