2016 is Here...Winter is Finally Here, and Christmas has Come on Gone..

 Boating season is silent, Ambiance is in her Winter storage all warm and cozy...
Christmas has come and gone, what a Great time that was, so much Family in one house...We had a great Dinner, Main Coarse Prime Rib Medium Rare...and everyone brought a dish to pass.
But before all that, here's a look at our Fort Lauderdale trip to go to the boat show, Biggest boats you'll see anywhere.....anytime.... We went there and it was so hot at the show, we decided to head for the keys for.Linner, I know I said Linner, in was a late lunch and early dinner, the traffic was so bad in Lauderdale we just had to get out for awhile, So We hopped in the Rental (BMW M6 Vert) and made our way to the Keys..

The Air Plan ride went Great, 1st Class, all the way and it's the only way for me and my bride from here on out...Goofy Selfie...

 And of coarse, a snackie....bought at the Airport in Detroit...Didn't want to ask for a spoon....hahah

First night in Lauderdale, a lil stormy, windy but NO storm thank Goodness.

 Woke up the next morning, at 9am..to this, beautiful weather, windy and Hot....Waves were up even in the pool, there were waves..

It was very hot at the boat show, so we didn't look at very much, tried going into the air condition tents to stay cool, but that wasn't working either, Here's a look at the new 625 hp Sevin ooutboards...
there's actually 2 boats side by side there...

And we looked at this baby.... Nordhaven Yachts, are the best... for Ocean travel, Made in Taiwan too.

That's when we decided to walk the 2 miles back to our car in 93* heat and go to the Keys....It was too Hot.... 1 hour later.... in the BMW M6 Convertible... and 90MPH on the Toll roads.. We arrive in Islamorada.. What a great place to eat..

 My darling Wife, Can I just Say I really Love this woman....We just are great together...I love spending my time on Earth with this Beautiful Woman...

 The Fish company definitely has Ambiance....and fish swimming in the middle of the Restaurant.

 After Linner, we went for a drive almost to Key West, and Saw an awesome Sunset...very romantic, but I didn't get any pics of it....

A few moments for a selfie with my Wonder Woman......In Love and Lovin Life...

 Last night, here's a look at the Pool at Night time.....Lovely...

Weird Summer This Year

It's been a Weird Summer and it's going to keep being a weird Summer,   Why you ask,because of my Rotator Cuff surgery that was in early June...
The surgery went very well, Doctors were good to me, Wife was by my side most of the time, and she's been the greatest care giver one could ever ask for.....She even slept on the couch while I had to sleep in the Lazy boy due to pain.Pic before surgery Happy to be there ah yeah..... sure I am..

What a great time I was having in the Surgery Center.........
And the after Surgery Shot....

That's right Ice cooler pack on my shoulder Stoned on drugs feeling NO pain at all, My wife be my side, taking pics along the way, Hell I was still falling asleep from anesthesia .......

Haven't been back to the boat for almost three weeks so we decided to give it a shot...stayed on it one night took a trip, short trip to the big waters and turned around due to rough waters...Pounding a little to hard for the shoulder, even in the sling..

This is me in the sling Captain of my ship.

...And my wife by my side, The Admiral

The Zu (Cheeckin Gut Zu)

Weird summer, but I'll try to post more of this 2015 summer as it happens..
