Slowly decorating

 While there was some decorations left over from the previous owner, many were not truly coastal or nautical lifestyle decorations.  Moyia and I have used Facebook Marketplace to buy and sell/give away a few of the items and furniture, and a few of the better consignment stores have been able to provide many decorations and furniture as well.  On the last trip from Tennessee, we brought some decorations from that home as well.  Still lots of empty walls, but we are getting there slowly.

    We were at an art show a couple of years ago and Patti wanted to get you some kind of pool area art (can't even remember what it was), and I told her that you guys were going to sell your house in Tennessee and have no place to put it...

    How's the quality/clarity on the canvas pictures? Did you take the pictures with your phone?

      Quality on the canvas prints are good and most shot with my old iPhone 5(6?). Have to make sure the original is full size, and the focus is good. Crazy enough, it's the 20 megapixel Sony DSLR that has the most issues trying to get a good print, especially when shot with the telephoto lens.

Sweat Equity

The little gym at the fitness center is tight, but has nice equipment.  They also have a "yoga" room, but their primary focus is outside on the tennis and pickle balls courts, along with a large community pool for aqua aerobics.  Nowadays I get my forehead temperature check when entering with a mask on, but can remove the mask when working out.  We also have sanitizer to clean the equipment after use, which truly needs to be a thing after the pandemic. I'm solo for about half the time I work out, so I pedal to the center on my trusty cruiser, all 1 mile of it. There's ample parking for my cruiser, on the rare occasion there is maybe half a dozen bikes if there is a tennis or pickleball event going on.  Most folks arrive on golf carts, followed by cars or on foot. It's a short walk to the center from the parking lot. The courts take up most of the property off to the east (right). For right now, I'll do a fast walk for a couple of miles and then cool down.  I&#

Avian Groupies

 A flock of White Ibis are working the shoreline along the edge of the 3rd hole (Heron course) behind our home, with a Common Gallinule staying a bit ahead and a Little Blue Heron in his usual spot, picking off anything the ibis are kicking up. The heron does work the shore by himself mostly, but if the ibis are out, he makes sure to shadow them.

The Coconut Telegraph Weather Station

 I had been wanting to install a weather station at our home in Tennessee for a few years but placed one here in sunny Florida.  I also wanted a station that could be seen while away, and there were a few options.  I chose an Ambient Weather WS-2000, which has an outdoor station and a small internal color screen that acts as a server for the distribution of data to a few weather services (Ambient Weather and Weather Underground).   Ambient Weather The outdoor station sits in the shadow of the house for northern winds, so it won't get all the gusting and such from some cold weather fronts, but other than that, it's been doing well!
