Mornin Woods!
My Pop finally sold his property in FL & made it here yesterday. He has to go back to his brother's house in IL to get his camper. He took his utility trailer with his tool boxes & John Deere Gator there last month. He dropped the camper & hitched up the utility trailer on his way here.
No jogb offers for me yet, but I'm applying to anything I am remotely qualified for even if I only have 1 of ## requirements/qualifications.
We have the HOA garage sale this weekend so I'll be sitting in the garage or driveway trying to sell my chingaderos so I can walk around the neighborhood to buy other peoples chingaderos

Good morning Bill, Greg, Mick and all. We finally got home last night around midnight. It was a long day. We left at 9:30am on what should have been a 9 hour trip tops. When we left it was raining and my wipers were ****. They do not last long in Florida and were only less than 3 months old. So I stopped not long after leaving for wiper. Changed those in the rain and got soaked but had to do it. Then we hit the traffic in Atlanta, another delay. Smooth sailing after that so we were taking our time. We actually stopped for lunch and had a salad. Since the rain had quit and we were in no hurry we stopped in Macon at the Harley dealer and the Indian dealer next door. Next up was the Harley dealership in Tifton, which is one of my favorites. Each stop took awhile for the wife to inventory all the deals. Tshirts and such secured we were finally on the downhill to home. We stopped again for fuel and dinner since by now it was supper time. Still on track to be home before dark.
Not long after getting into Florida just north of Lake City the weather turned nasty. I mean it got nasty. It turned dark, the rain and hail was so thick that traffic came to a standstill. I managed to get off on the shoulder and sat there for about 20 minutes before the rain died down and visibility was okay. Probably the worse I have seen it and luckily no one got stupid. It was scary for sure. The storms were just sitting down right on the interstate in a line like they often do. We could see the same thing we just hit to the south of us and did not want to get into it again so we got off in Alachua and sat there for about 45 minutes. It clearly up some to the south so we made it down to Gainesville and had to stop to wait again. Two more stop and waits in Ocala and Wildwood before we were able to make the run to our exit. We saw a horrible semi crash in Ocala but it was in the northbound lanes. The trailer was completed perpendicular in the road blocking everything but the outside shoulder. The cab was folder under the trailer against the inside rail and the engine was completely out and laying in the road. Longest travel day ever,
Still on vacation and planning a visit to the new Harley dealership in Wesley Chapel today. This will be the closest dealership to us, only 15 minutes away. Everyone ride safe.
