  1. I agree that they needed to check it out.  Because if it was a meth lab there are some hazmat and explosive items to consider.  But something has to be said about whatever indecent that started the whole mess in the first place.  And it is truly a strange thing to have pop in your head.  

     

    And it seems like this fella being grumpy by his own admission doesn't make the best choices.  Atomic bomb???  He missed the whole filter between thoughts and mouth speech.

  2. I am from Naples.  And to be honest never camped around here or on the way.  Always just wanted to get to the Fort.  

     

    Fort Desoto sounds really cool but I would go way out of the way to not cross that bridge towing my trailer!  

     

    There is a cool campground on Fort Myers beach where you camp right on the beach.  Going to try that one one of these days.

     

    Also my kids loved Lion Country Safari and the KOA there.  Not anything close to the Fort in quality but hearing the Lions roar in the mornings sure scared the poo out of our dog.

    We have stayed a couple of times at the Larry and Penny Thompson park which is laid out in loops.  We were there for a couple of DW's Triathlons.  Cool thing about this place is the Miami Zoo and a Railroad museum is super close.

  3. We just got back from a short getaway to Nick hotel and a stay at Cocoa beach Kennedy Space Center.  

     

    Nick Hotel.

     

    Umm.  Trying to be nice like my Mom always taught me.  Pool was murky room was not dirty but was dirty.  Housekeeping came through at 5pm?  Desperate need of a remodel.  Hotel looks like it has had it's butt kicked.  But the cost.  I regret not going with my first instinct and staying at the Cabins.  The cost would have been the same and so much nicer.  And holy hell they nickle and dime you and we got hit up with a timeshare pitch before we left the lobby to check in.  

     

    KSC.  Wow just wow!  We got to see a launch and the Atlantis exhibit brought tears to our eyes.  KSC has really done a great job.

     

    We stayed at the DoubleTree by Hilton Cocoa Beach and it was a fantastic stay!  We line in Naples, FL so beaches are abundant to us but we never really go to them.  Always crowded.  But this hotel was right on the beach affordable and clean!  Very nice plus it was near the port and we got to see cruise ships come and go.  

     

    Just figured I would pass on some info.

  4. Wow sorry for the delay!  Still working on it but the day job gets in the way!  I am an IT director for a fire district and we have been implementing a lot of changes and opened a new station that is our emergency operations center.  But I have replaced some of the rotted wood and I am ready to start sealing the back up.  I bought the special caulking for the roof and that is my next step.  I really need to replace the rook AC seal.  I need to look up if I can do it or I need to source it out.  Right now there is nothing supporting that section of roof but the aluminum beams.  I hope I can replace the seal from the inside?

     

    I will keep everyone posted!

  5. I think it is the same one and I think the only one.  Some special auction disney had but it has popped up all over the place.
