First Fish & Bike Trail

I fished for a short while this morning. I only caught one fish and it was a strange one. It was fierce looking but fortunately it was so small that there was no danger. Maybe someone can identify it for me.

I regularly ride a trail that is south of our location. The trail is about 5 miles long and dead ends. It is an old railroad bed so it is a straight shot and of course it is flat. It can be boring but my Ipod and the occasional wildlife makes it bearable. When I couple it with a 5-6 mile leg to get to the trailhead it makes a good route. Today was nice. I rode to the end of the trail and took a break to read and work today’s newspaper puzzles. The end of the trail is pretty isolated so it is quiet and peaceful. I had several wild life sightings today. There was hawk and some turtles. dsc00227_a.jpg

The first turtle saw me and hightailed it into his hole. I saw a couple of others that were not as shy.

There was lots of evidence of wild hogs along the trail but I did not see any.

Boca Grande

Ann and I made to Boca Grande on Gasparilla Island today. I biked and she walked and then we had lunch. It was a great day. The slide show is pictures I took as I biked around the island.

On the Beach

Today was spectacular. The temperature was in the upper 70’s and the breeze was light. After we returned from church in Sarasota we took off for the beach. Ann really loves the beach. I enjoy it also but not as much as Ann does. We just sunned and read and listen to the NFL playoff game. It was not crowded at all.

New Geezerware

As promised, I checked out Geezerville for new geezerware. The pickings were slim. I did find a few that I thought might generate some excitement. Anyone wishing to order, please send cash only + $12.95 shipping and handling.
