The Sanmen Project

From John:  This one of the projects that I am working on in China , the Sanmen project.  Looks like China, doesn't it?

meanwhile ...

Meanwhile the weather in Florida continues to be warm and sunny.  Jubilee suns herself in the very same place that our previous dogs and cats chose.

 Downtown West Palm Beach on Sunday morning ...

 The curious little black ducks with metallic beaks that come to our canal for a few weeks every winter.  I'll try to get a better photo of them.  They're still here, but could leave any day.

Batmobiles

This is 3 generations of Batmobile 1965 TV, 1989 Batman movie and 2012 Black Night movie filmed in Pittsburgh.

Meanwhile, Florida is warm and sunny.

The hawk and the thermometer

 The hawk that hangs out on the tree outside our window, and the thermometer in John's car showing outside temp (1 degree F) ...

 Love that winter sky!

 That's -16 degrees C!

Cold in PA!!!

 

This is what John was facing this morning!  Jubilee and I will be there by mid February ... can't wait!

Beer should be ready by Super Bowl

They bottled the beer last night.  I guess it's sort of like the ravioli, the adventure of making your own.  Beer Miesters Joe, Dirk and assoc. Edwing and John:

Snow is melting fast (PA)

Jubilee and I are ready!  Looks good - we miss everything there ...

 Easy walking!

 Cold beer...

Only I'm not sliding down this hill!!

John's birthday and a New Year

We started out for Annie's market, where we were going to get some Italian stuffed mushrooms to celebrate John's birthday.  But it was closed.  We ended up at Bubba Gump's, which used to be Harpoon Louie's when we first came to Florida (on January 1st, 1980).  I liked Harpoon Louie's better, but the shrimp was good.

But the view is the same and the gulls are still there.

 From there we meandered down to Phil Foster Park where we reminisced about our early Florida days when we sailed a lot.  Decided that we needed a sailboat again.  Saw a stingray.
