Friday and Saturday

Well the weather here in Florida has turned warm and hot but the humidity is still holding back some what. The mornings and evening are still quite pleasant with the afternoons reaching into the middle 80's. Friday was another sleep in day as the Rec. as closed until Monday so Nancy and I slept in until 8 AM. After a light breakfast I did some garden work then took an hour bike ride while Nancy did her Friday morning women's Bible study. Amy and Ava came for lunch.

After lunch we play outside until it was time for Ava's afternoon nap. After they left we chilled until it was time to head out to the Bonefish Grill in Largo for our 5:15 reservation. There were 10 of us for dinner and we had quite a good time visiting with Chris and her new beau Bill, Uncle Warnie and Aunt Daryl down from Pennsylvania. Nancy's mom(G/G's), dad, sister Betsy and her son Braden were all there as well. The food was O.K. but not nearly as good as Nancy's cooking.

After leaving the Bonefish she dropped me off at our house and went on to visit with her aunt, uncle and cousin. I stayed home and got ready for my big adventure today as we had to get up at 4:45 AM. I left Seminole with friend and neighbor Dan around 5:20 and headed for Gainesville,Florida to attend the Florida Gator National's (NHRA). Wow, that was the first time for me and it was an exciting day. We were able to venture into the pits see the mechanics, drivers and cars right in front. To view these vehicles, cars and motorcycles that reach a speed of 300 mph in 4 seconds over a quarter mile is unbelievable. Some of the pro fuel dragsters have 8000 horsepower. The earth trembles when they accelerate and take off as well as your ears need to be covered. They use a parachute to slow them down after they cross the finish line. It was truly a unique experience. Thanks Dan for sharing an on top of that we were fed a good meal of barbecue chicken, pulled pork, tater salad, cole slaw and garlic bread. We got back home a little after 7 PM. A Great Day. I got my first tattoo thanks to a sponsor snap-on tools(pic enclosed).

Well tomorrow we will be heading out to worship with our son at Element in Tampa then spent the afternoon visiting with him and Annsley. Well until LATER.
