Looks pretty neat. They did the entire neighborhood. I was at the center station today when this old Chevy pulled up out front with a lady in the bed of the truck. She was hanging flags off the phone poles along the street. She clipped it in the pre hung holder but had to reach a bit. The guy driving thought she was all set and pulled away as she reached up. Down she went falling into the bed of the truck (luckily) but cracking her noggin on the tailgate. She laughed it off as they moved on, probably more embarrassed than hurt. Link to comment
Rougarou Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 We were a wee bit short on wood and now it has to be painted and then the doors will be rebuilt along with cutting the right side open, so 2/3s of it will be available for driving in. 1 Link to comment

BamaJohn Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 LOVE all the photos, especially "roadscholar" Bills....I'm gonna pack up my Nikon and head to Jacksonville for some photo lessons....... 2 Link to comment
roadscholar Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Hey thanks John, that reminds me I’ve been slacking the past month or so. Pretty mundane stuff but our dualsport club has started a dirt tag-o-rama, we let 4wd vehicles play too so here’s a few from the wilds of N Fla. The last one is from this place, it has an interesting history. 1 1 Link to comment

Show her the toolbox and the ladder,.......and call it immersion training. My oldest broke something on her first car (something with the hvac switches), I gave her directions to the local pull a part. She gets back and was all excited 'cause it was like Christmas, she could pull anything that she needed. So I watched as she attempted to do her repair, she got it apart, and mostly together, but there were some little c-clips she couldn't get. 1 Link to comment
TEWKS Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 Yeah, her time is coming to figure things out on her own but at 10.5 she would of messed it up and I’d of been out another sixty bucks.

roadscholar Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 This afternoon. Wanted to drop off the trailer at the whse so picked up a tag (N Fla DIRT tag o rama) on the way, actually it’s a shortcut. Sungarden Rd at Warner Rd. If the county paved Sungarden and Bellamy Roads it could reduce traffic on SR16 by maybe 50% but that’s probably unlikely. 1 Link to comment

The past couple of years have been awful slim in my growing tomato department. I thought I had lost my touch. I said to hell with containers and built the raised bed. I’ve had more broccoli and jalapeños than I could stand and now my favorite...home grown maters for dinner every night. Ever had a tomato malt? Link to comment

TEWKS Posted July 17, 2020 Author Share Posted July 17, 2020 Ladybugs are cute and as a kid I was always told “don’t hurt a ladybug” they’re good for the garden! About ten years ago we started getting them in the house around September or October. Remembering the lesson taught to me as a kid I saved them and put them in a glass aquarium. Figured I’d let them go in the spring. Anyway, come to find out they were Asian Lady Beetles imported here. Not the lovely little ladybugs we were taught to respect. Needless to say, no more ladybug aquarium at my house! 1 3 Link to comment

Now I just buy the delicious Goya Brand tomato products. Yes, you take the easy way out and spend maybe $1.50 per can of tomatoes and spend your days relaxing and doing fun things. I’ve got probably $200.00+ invested in my raised bed and it’ll probably come to $5.to 6 dollars per can for me. Plus I get to spend time watering, digging, weeding,, fighting pests, and toiling all growing season in 90-95 degree heat. Makes me wonder who’s the smart one here. So there! Pffft 2 Link to comment

Intracoastal John, it’s called the Tolomato River between Palm Valley and St Augustine. There’s a smallish state forest (Deep Creek SF) near Nocotee Landing paddle launch, it is a pretty spot. The other side is Guana Preserve, it’s protected nearly the entire length. 2 Link to comment
