South Beach is awesome! The only thing is, you can blow through hundreds of $ in no time.

I wish I had the time to drive through to Key West, but I had to cut across and up to Tampa to visit my father.

Glad you had a great trip. Thanks for sharing the adventure
Not to mention, gas ain't exactly cheap anymore! But you know, you only live once, so why not save up and have a blast? I tend to get lots of great ideas when I'm on vacations, so usually, I end up getting back re-invigorated and ready to create more opportunities for myself and people around me.

This time, I've come up with a business for myself and my friend in Cali, but more on this later - meeting a potential financial backer tomorrow to discuss. Wish me luck!

And yes, make the time to visit Key West. Driving there may not be the best way though - next time, if I have the opportunity, I'd rather go by boat and stay on the water as much as I can.

Thank you! I was a bit surprised how nicely it came out myself - I wasn't sure until the last moment when the rims were installed.

Never worth it to lose your cool. Ever.


And I don't think she makes 7 grand a year LOL

You definitely should drive down, if you have a chance! As for seeing in person, you know where to find me - I'd love to see you guys (and the new M5!) too!

And I've been itching to set up another KBBQ meet/eat...

Same here, Marc! Tell Alex I said hi. I hope we can do it again soon!

Actually, I just might do that! A good friend of mine will be driving here from Cali in the summer, and we've been thinking to do a road trip. So I might tag along with him on the way back. But it will hinge on whether I'll be able to take the time off...

Hemingway's estate has a whole lot of these cats with six paws. Story is, he was given one by someone, at some point, and he decided to let him breed. Before long, there is a whole lot of these things out there. They are all over the estate and are totally unaffected by all the people going through the house all the time - they just chill.
