Yes, the ocean water down here is only like 69 degrees, to cold for swimming...but it beats the heck out of Michigan

Say HI to the Mayor ....Craig Cates. He was a past customer ....#2 Super Gas car in 1982.

Oh and he is straight-as-a-string ... his wife is the #1 real-estate agent in Key West.

NICE area ... but probably the most expensive real-estate in the USA.

We like the Green Parrot.
Coolest bar in Key West.

Yes, thankfully nobody has tried to push in my stool in any bars down here.

Have had a blast down here, Brenda really liked parasailing, got some good shots of her with a biplane that was out there that just about strafed her, will have her load that picture up Monday when we get back

My brother rented a house down here for the whole winter, so we are staying at his place. Its out on the golf course about 5 miles from Duvall Street.

We are gonna PARTY tonight

Ony muscle car i have seen down here was a White 70 SS Chevelle with black stripes, real nice car, auto, 396/350.

On my 1 visit to Key West long ago, I lost my wallet, luckily I had enough gas in the car to get back to Boca Raton where my Grand father lived. About a month later it arrived home in the mail minus the cash that was in it!


Take care,

Anybody who has been to KW lately and doesn't live in a cave pretty much understands the bending over jokes are pretty much about another time.

Anyway, I've stayed at Pier house numerous times and the topless beach there pretty much makes one forget about the first topic I alluded to.

And if time/$ allows, we chartered a seaplane to the Dry Tortugas fort and spent the day, it was awesome and well worth it. Not sure i would take the cat ride there. Have fun.


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

I love the place, everyone was very nice. Boyd's campground people were great and went out of there way for us. We walked Duval st from one end to the other several times and it was great. I guess we didn't make it to the gay section?

Great place to be this time of year and still be in the good old USA! Don't know anyone in this picture.
