Standing in the middle of the national pine barren preserve....silence abounds.

Wow Bob, those photos are fantastic
Incredible Vince, just amazing

Shame about the neighbours of course!
Tried it the trip before this one, didn’t care much for it, but our guide said lots of folks do.
Neither had I Jack until we caught them the first time in the Daytona area several years ago.
It's always nice to learn something new my friend
I can remember serving shark, tapas style, cubed, coated in seasoned and spicy flour, and deep fried. I didn't think it was worth the trouble though. The only other time I tried it was in a fish and chip restaurant at the coast, it was sold here as 'Rock Salmon' or 'Scarborough Woof' at the time, and I had wanted to try it for years. I wished I had stuck to haddock or cod!

I'm not saying I wouldn't eat shark again, but I wouldn't go out of my way to find it

I've had swordfish, which I found tastier, but haven't seen that on sale here for a while either
I’ve never eaten shark. I wouldn’t be adverse to ordering it if it was on the menu but if a double cheeseburger is on the same menu oh well. This is about as close as I get to sharks these days. My shoe was touched by the ocean while taking this pic.

Great pic Kurt, you fellers are knocking it out of the park with your K'roo knives

I'd rather have the double cheeseburger too!
Yes, a cheeseburger in paradise would be just fine with me.

I like the character left in the coat of your K'roo Kurt.
I've just had a burger, but my dental crown came out yet again

I can't believe what a bad job they did of making it, it has been out twice in 9 days
Feeling a lot better. I can usually deal with the back pain ok. Its the shooting down the leg thing that takes me out of commission. Thankfully it subsided.
That's good to hear Paul, that sciatica is something else, the Receptionist in my doctor's told me she had had two kids, and the pain from sciatica was worse than giving birth!

I hope it doesn't return soon buddy
Great to visit with old friends. You and Bod looks to have had a great time.
Great photo of the Albers and the patch!!!
Thanks a lot my friend, it was great to catch up. It was through Bod, that I first got to know Tool Man. I have said I'm happy to go over to Poland for a few days if he can get excused by the missus again!

I offered to buy Bod lunch, but he said he never eats during the day, I told him he never eats at night either!
It sounds like everybody is having a nice day

I had a very nice nap on the sofa earlier

I thought my internet connection was OK again today, but then, bang on 3pm, it failed again. My neighbour, from 2 doors up, has just been round, and him and his wife don't have any internet or phone signal, and he is on another network again, so we really don't know what the issue is. There are always different cable and internet companies digging up the street, and leaving it in a mess, so I don't know if that's a factor
I spoke to Tool Man on the phone this market, and he sounded like he was on good form. It's great weather here at the moment, so it will be nice to catch some sun at the market, for once. I haven't carried The Chieftain in a while, so I thought I'd put him on cake-cutting duty tomorrow!
