Wussup guys. Still on vacation in Florida.

I did manage to get the wireless router working at my parents condo though so I thought I'd check in.

Everybody having a nice week?

Wish you were here.

Me too buddy, me too.

Have a great time.

Hey, I was wondering where you've been. In a couple of these threads, I was half expecting your input at any moment.

Yeah. I stopped through here on Sunday and couldnt get this modem/router straightened out.

Monday-WednesdayAM was spent at a beach house where they actually had internet--I just didnt have time (spent most of it fishing with fiance's dad and brother or laying on the beach)

Yesterday, we got back here but ended up going shopping to an excellent outlet mall.

Today, I've been at the beach but I figured I better get this setup for my folks since they are coming back down here next week.

What's been the big controversy?

where in FLA?

was on St. George Island.

now at my parents place which is just west of Panama City Beach headed towards Destin

nice! i love the gulf coast.

Destin is nice... last time was there was in 2001 before September 11.

nothin' like the Redneck Riviera.

not bad though. i havent been down here in summer (only in the fall to fish) in many moons.

haha, seriously.

sounds like you're gettin' some relaxing in dude.

I would love to be over there as well...I get to go to San Destin next friday tho.

i've only experienced long boat key, and anna maria (?) islands. they were far from redneck. the sand and water were far superior to the atlantic coast though.

Sounds like an excellent week thus far; Are you there for another week after this? I'm heading to Mexico on Saturday for a week and a bit. I'm going to be all about the beach.

No real controversy, just the typical run-o'-the-mill stuff. It was a bit of Look Back in Anger kind of day with the brief return of Spade Kitty, a few dust ups over the last few as well with the usual gang of idiots. Business as usual, I guess. Also a few music discussions, the new Sleepy Jackson is great as well. If the links are gone by the time you're back I'll send it your way. Nice summer feel, perfect for the beach actually. Also got the new Cheap Trick as well.

Hope the rest of FLA is good for you.

the sand and water are tops but the panhandle is pretty damn red.

I'll actually be back tmrw night. The gf has to get back to work.

Yeah. I'm excited about that Sleepy Jackson.

Is anybody else enjoying the new Phoenix as much as I am? Me rikey.

I capped off the vacation by dropping an ungodly amount of money on extemely dangerous fireworks on the drive home.

The 4th of July should be great.

I've done the same everytime I've been in FLA or SC. I had to smuggle mine across the border, which was always fun. I never waited until July 1st though. Good times.

too bad you missed your chance to drop a 'weather is here, wish you were beautiful'

Fireworks!

If I tried setting fireworks off I'd surely blow off a hand. Which is why I like to watch.

I'm honestly afraid of this one thing I bought that has like 27 individual firing tubes on it.

Also popular should be these miniature Osama bin Ladens that after you light his turban on fire it explodes his head in a mass of color---they were Buy 1, Get 3 Free so how could I resist?

Last year at my 4th party many things were exploded and the only major damage was a solid wooden box that the bocci balls were in and a few patches of grass here and there so we should be right on course.
