We had planned on doing a couple of road trips this weekend. Thought we might even have a “Top Down Travels”, but it was kind of ugly so we cancelled out on Saturday’s plans. Sunday was warmer but still no sun but we had to get out so drove out to Ozello to see what we could see.
Ozello Community Park, all the way at the end of Ozello TrailOld Port CoveView from Old Port CoveOzello Water TowerIsland Outpost, I put this photo up for my Lakeland friend Ellen who was asking me about it last week. Yes, it is a convenience store. And a restaurant. And a bar. But not a gas station.. $1.00 draft all day, every day!Here’s Terry, my always patient driver, ready to make a quick getaway!Found another park where we could launch our kayaks.But only kayaking on a better day!View towards Water Tower from Ozello Park
Ozello Trail is a very popular road for motorcyclists and sports car drivers. Lots of curves and scenic views. We were surprised to see all these new solar powered signs. Some of them were set for 10 mph!
First it flashes the speed limit, then it warns us to slow down.Then we get the speed limit again. Didn’t phase the guy behind us because he passed us right after this curve!
It was a nice drive. Just wish the sun had come out!
Let’s start the New Year out with some Dogs in the Hood!
Winsome WeinerPretty in PinkSo Sad, does not really want to be at the Shed. Just wants to go home. Sleep on his blankey. ” Please, tell them to take me home.”“Just take one more step and that camera is mine…”Lucky dog on a boatPoor Annie, “9 more poops and she’s at the shelter”Daisy from the BlockThis little lady is very confused by the whole corn hole thing. “Why are they throwing things that I can’t chase?” And what is all that noise?And last but not least, Maggie!
It must be Christmas since there is a tree hanging upside down in the Shed!
We had a super great sunny weekend.
It was one of those weekends that out-of-town guests decide that they are moving here permanently. One of those weekends that those guys that are fracking in ND decide that there’s got to be a better way. One of those weekends that let Florida push New York State out of the third most populous spot.
Just want to remind all of those people about reality. We have no-see-ums that will make you cry. We have banana spiders that are as big as your hand. We have mosquitos that will suck every ounce of blood out of you. And if that doesn’t convince you to stay where you are, we have HURRICANES! Rick Scott! Duke Energy!
Okay. Enough anti-propaganda.
Yesterday we went down to the Shed in Old Homosassa to listen to the “Uptown Pickers”. They play there quite often but never on a Sunday that we are actually home. So I was pretty excited when I saw them listed as the band for the weekend. With a name like Pickers, gotta be bluegrass, Right? Gotta have a banjo, Right?
Wrong. They were good but it was just your normal everyday “oldies and some goldies with a little bit of blues and a whole lot of country” band. Still fun. But no banjo.
So this guy really loves the Bucs or those are his Christmas shoes.And he was rockin’ out!
So the Uptown Pickers was a really good band and the place was crazy packed. We got there before they started and there were still no tables. But we just kind of hung out by the rail until a smelly man decided to stand by me. Ohhhhh, Myyyyyy.
We rode our bikes there, of course. Can you spot them?
Yeah, ours are the ones with no motors….
But if I had a Harley, I would look real purty on this one…
Or maybe this one….
But I don’t. I’m more the corvette type. But I’d really like to get some of those really cool biker boots.
Hey, come back tomorrow. I have more pics from another outing! More photos to tempt my northern readers to leave all that snow behind!
