Wen Dec 29th

Woke up bright and early and ran down to find some boxes so we could ship our ebay sold stuff. this is us getting back from finding boxes behind stores. I also took this video which shows we didn't really have a plan for the day at this point.

coffee and the car

Really nice day out, but we had mechanise to get shipped. We got straight to it, got everything wrapped, boxed and ready to ship. We then ran down to the post office and got it down the road. We also had to run over to the city hall, which was only a block from the post office, to get our 2011 resident parking sticker. The sticker goes in our back window and allows us to park in any one of 5 city owned beach parking lots at no charge. We returned home and it was already 3 in the afternoon. We were getting hungry and we had a coupon for a little bar and grill down in Ft Lauderdale called Yak-zees, so we got cleaned up and took off around 4:30. We stopped at Bealls outlet to check out the Christmas clearance first, Then saw a hair cutting place next door so I grabbed a quick haircut. Once that was complete we started back south toward the bar when we saw the Ice and Snow arena, which has always intrigued us so I pulled in. I wanted Bonnie to see some snow.

Well it turned out to be all ice and no snow, just a couple of ice skating rinks...That sucks. Oh well ...off to eat. It was about 6 and we were hungry. We got there and I grabbed this video of the outside of the bar.

We went in grabbed a couple of beers, got our food ordered when I saw a guy at the bar smoking. I asked the waitress if we could smoke in there. She threw an ashtray on our table and said we could in there. She quoted some Florida law about free standing blah blah blah.....I didn't really care about the rest, I was just excited we could actually smoke inside somewhere other than our car...WOW.

waiting for our food

Well we ate our fill and I was a bit overcome with either fullness or beer because I was very drowsy. We went home and I immediately fell asleep. I woke up after about an hour's slumber then Bonnie laid down on the couch and took her hour nap. So I am  gonna finish this blog and take an 8 hour nap.
