Sorry, but if I come there to visit you, I'm wearing clothes. And I hope you do too.

Nope. Go train from Clarkson to Longbranch costs me about 3 bucks return on senior's rate. I can take the bus from home to the station for free, and I locked an old bike to the rack at the Longbranch station to ride the 1.4 km to the shop. I walked it the first day, but the walk back to the station after being on my feet all day was a killer.

We will be on the gulf side the whole time so don't need to worry about dealing with that.

We were not sure what our chances were going to be given that a new Florida policy gives Florida residents a one month head start on booking campsites in the state parks, but we managed to book an entire month in three different parks. Yay! Now I better bring in some work to pay for all this travel given what is happening with the price of gas.

One of the guys I have been doing wheel building and repairs for the last number of years is moving up from his mobile repair business to a brick and mortar shop in Toronto. He hasn’t fully opened yet, the front door is locked and the windows are covered in paper, but the service department is operating and he has a dedicated and loyal clientele that keeps him busy. He asked if I could come in for a few hours a couple of days a week to help out so I said sure. Mostly high end road stuff which is great to work on. Plus he is a great guy and an awesome mechanic so a good opportunity to learn stuff.

Another one in the been there done that camp here. You have no idea yet how strong you are but the realization will come to you that you got this. Not before some considerable pain and healing, but this too shall pass. We are here for you man.

Wow. Hope that heals quickly and completely.

Owie. What the heck happened?

My dad had a fraternal twin. They both died the same year at age 87. My mom's youngest sisters were identical twins. One of them was the first of the seven siblings to die, the other is the only survivor of the family apart from my mom. My brother in law from my first marriage had an identical twin. They were so identical in every way when they were younger, even their immediate families had trouble telling them apart. Even their voices were indistinguishable.

Glad to see I wasn’t the only one to use a Cockney expletive.
