Playing "Snow Birds"

I guess we are now officially Snow Birds.  The Florida term, that in case any of you out there are not aware of, means, old people who head north in the summer! We came home to a house that had been well taken care of by the renters with only 1 set of sheets and towels to wash, a frig with food in it, and a sparkling clean house.  We were Impressed.

Yesterday we trimmed plants and palm trees.  Emptied a full truck load before I remembered to take a picture. We are now on the 2nd truck load and have the entire back beds to do.  So it'll probably take 3 trips.  All that in 3 months in a drought!  The only thing that didn't grow was the grass.  It still looks terrible from the chinch bug infestation we had last year.  

Today Gary put half of the hurricane panels up and I have been looking up info for the Air Conditioning company regarding our purchase of a 10 year parts and labor warranty with our unit in 2004 (which froze twice in the last 2 weeks) that they seem to know nothing about.  Great....now its not only boat "issues". Yesterday when Gary went to renew the registration for the boat at the DMV they said "this boat doesn't exist".  At which Gary replied "that's not what Visa says".  So they had to redo the entire thing...

No Documentation yet, the name is still sitting on the bunk in the forward cabin.  We will have a small renaming ceremony but not the full blown virgin peeing in the bilge. One after the head hose redo we figure that is taken care of although not by any virgins.  We already blessed her once with the sage bouquet, and Ganesh our Hindu talisman is watching everything we do.  How much farther do we need to go? 

So it's off to trimming and pulling weeds for us.  Maybe a nap too :)
