    Getting used to our semi-retirement place

    In the Ocala area. Beats the hell out of NNY this time of year! Going for walks, golf, pickleball soon and cruising the community in a golf cart. I've done my time with a snow shovel in my hands! There were a couple of big Cranes (Sand Hill, I think) just watching us chip up the the green they were on with no cares whatsoever.

    We considered buying a piece of land in the Okeechobee area. We nixed it and are now considering either the panhandle or Texas gulf coast.

    It rained all last night and today. The Wild Turkeys came out this morning and I suspect they were seeking higher ground!

    Hit 63 yesterday. I really planned on being retired by now. But I think I may have the business sold to one of our customers. Been here before though.

    Between the panhandle and the Texas coast, it would be a toss up. But the panhandle has more civilization in Panama City and West + nicer beaches. South of Corpus has some real slow living and nice small towns, but I would need to have a boat there.
