Passed thru my market. From Paducah to Cadiz KY on I 24.

Hey! Paducah? I went to school in Carbondale(Siu), your nightly news was the only one that would come in. Great area if you like trees and nature, gotta be pretty cool having cc biz there.

WPSD, channel 6

Yes, it is. I should post more pictures. Thousands of acres of parks, wilderness, and lakes, with great people nestled in small communities throughout.

Yes Richard a friend of mine just bought it a month ago. It is called the Bambi and is only 16 feet long but has everything you need. Now Mikey may have a problem standing in it but for some reason I don't.


Bill you are on!

My cell 218-259-9099.

We haven't made it to Dunedin yet, but are looking forward to it! :)

Mikey I am actually working but in a much better climate as Lee mentioned. We have SFS starting on Jan 19th and then I teach a CCT class the week after so I figure might as well stay for the month. Doesn't matter where I am as long as there is an airport.

Mark how long are you here before you go back to Siberia. Just finished the audio book The Ice Kingdom about the doomed North Pole expedition in 1879. Sure reminded me of your neck of the woods.

We leave on the 19th Bill or I would have taken the SFS class. Something I want to do and really would like to do that down here.

And it is Siberia up there!

Looks like we will be in Dunedin Saturday but not sure what is taking place... But I want to go to their microbrewery... Lol. We will have to get together one way or another if we can :)

Made it to a fun hang out and shopping and eating place...

Plus the very first place my wife was able to play with dolphins in the channel while we were on jet ski's.....of course, she was out playing and I had already broke mine from massive wave jumping....

But John's Pass is a fun place to check out

We like sitting and eating outside at Scully's ....

Usually always see dolphins out playing and lots of activity around

And this is how we have been feeling here in the warmth and just out putting on the miles....and the dogs are wore out each night. They won't know what to do when they get home to the cold too

You should have gone to alligator Attraction run by my friend who started into carpet cleaning with me 40 years ago. If you go ask for Bob Barrett. I believe Lee Stockwell would remember him.

Looking at all the pictures, the name of this thread is highly misleading
Should have been named: Pooches in Paradise.

Oh Man! Yes what a great guy! Last I saw him was at Amoco's R&D tour in Atlanta. Bill Y was there, I took my son Joshua that time.

Bob has forgotten more than I'll ever know about carpet.

An Alligator rodeo has to be a safer environment than the carpet industry.

Lee,
To show it's a small world, the house I am staying in Dunedin is Bob's ex wife Judy who also was at the Amoco tour.
