I’m not a guy who is good at taking compliments. Thank you for all your kind words and well wishes for the move. I miss everyone… It’s taking a lot of getting used to not having all my friends around, but having you all there to talk to and laugh with on the puter and phone makes me happy. There is a very good chance I will be back on the island for Christmas, this 75 degree weather is weirdin me out...

So, I'm here and in one piece. I got into Tampa around 6pm on Tuesday and have been busy getting paperwork and my living arrangements in order. This is very, very weird. The drive down was uneventful. Towards the Jersey border I got a check engine light and the transmission on the Phinmobile started acting funny. I have had a problem with it for a while but towing the trailer seemed to agitate things...
