Quiet on Quiet Time

 Early this morning we very gladly headed south to the boat.  The neighborhood in Daytona now has more motorcycles than houses.  Several homes have invited guests with their motorhomes and the revelry lasted most of the night.  We will delay our return as long as possible to avoid the remainder of Bike Week. Paul made a new friend, Gary.  Gary found us a motor with everything we need attached!  And the price was right.  And his shop is only a few miles from our dock.  We picked it up and loaded it into the SUV.  Now Jack needs to come take both motors and bring a fully functioning one back to us.  Dave, our host here in Stuart, has agreed to store the motor in his garage.  His wife even donated her dolly (she refinishes furniture) so we were able to slid it easily out of the way.   So good to be back!  Sunny and 75!

Pat's Riverfront Cafe is the best hole in the wall restaurant with no signs and little fanfare behind a marina.                                                                                Bird on a wire                                                            ...
