Well, I actually got to go to sunny Florida this week! The N.B.Handy Co. has opened a branch in Davenport, Fl. They used to have a branch in Orlando and in Boca Raton too but they closed them. They said they're gonna supply the Davenport branch out of the Norcross, Ga. (Atlanta) branch, but they would have loads out of Lynchburg going there to get the warehouse fully supplied. I loaded on Thursday to deliver Monday, but of course I came home and fed the cat, cleaned the litter box, took a shower, and I was off. I got there Friday a little after noon, not expecting to get unloaded until Monday, but they unloaded me Friday. So I waited until the redhead got off from work, and she drove over from the other side of Orlando and picked me up.As I always do whenever i'm with her, I had a great time.
I saw this serious looking bird on the way down.
and a bird on a sign-
I took a picture of this orange grove right across the road from N.B.Handy while I was waiting for her. I might have walked over and picked a few oranges too.
Saturday we took a little drive over to Stuart, Fl. to see a BMT dignitary- Hatcity, a true legend.
We went up rt. A1A when we left Stuart and stopped a few times to take pictures and look around. We saw some people on some horses.
And a seagull on the beach.
A big beach umbrella-
A girl who stepped on a Lego-
A couple walking on the beach-
...so, we stopped at another place and saw this little crab-
and a big bird-
Sunday morning we went for an airboat ride, saw lots of aminals...
Then I had to leave, after having a great time, drinking great beer, eating great wings, and being with great people-
...and get back into the cold, the snow, the ice,..this is here, about an hour ago-
bummer.
I did see a big Mack truck or two yesterday though-
