yikes... Dorian

Dorian is headed toward the Prodigal, but

I am up in Arkansas for the weekend.

Next stop - back to Arkanas

I'm going up to Fayetteville, Arkansas to visit friends 

for Labor Day Weekend.  

I'm not running away to escape Dorian, 
but it's a nice surprise that the timing is so good!

Meanwhile, here on land...

Yes, a new 'white trash' bike box.  (yes, its attached to an old cutting board)

Hannah and Obi-Wan

 Cider house, Tatum and a groovy dog visits at Pierced.

I'll be leaving behind my neighborhood and friends in Fort Pierce for about a week to drive north to spend the weekend with my best old friends from Elementary School.  A few beers, a few holes of golf and lots of laughs.  Lots and lots of laughs!  wish you could all join me.

It's been another week on the coast, with nothing really to report.

Nothing to report here, except they continue to slowly work on the new restaurant.  They recently dug and buried the plumbing.  Now they are tying new steel and getting ready to pour more concrete around the perimeter and then the floor.  First they will build forms around the new steel.  I'm not about to guess when all this will happen.

 Sebcam on You Tube.  I me this guy.  And asked.  He's running across America.  He started in Miami and is headed to California.  He's carrying all his belongings.

The Sunday Afternoon movie at the Theatre.

New used bike finally aquired.

I finally got a replacement bike. $85

My OLD BIKE that was stolen.  ($60-2017)

This is a lobster trap mailbox that I saw on my first new bike ride yesterday.

City Marina Construction is progressing

The Marina Restaurant work is finally off the ground.

July 2nd the dirt work started.

August 6th and the chant is "build the wall."

The Fort Pierce Peacocks

A lovely Florida Sunset in Fort Pierce

I dont know much about Peacocks, but this looks a lot like a mating dance.

'She' must have been the Homecoming Queen!  All the guys are interested.

The Peacocks walk around loose over on Orange Street about 6 blocks from the marina.  I first saw signs with 'Peacock Crossing' warnings and a big Peacock silhouette on the sign last year when out bike riding.  Naturally i figured it was some local who thought they were funny.  But the fact is there are lots of Peacocks in a particular neighborhood.  I COUNTED 45 yesterday.  Forty Five at one time.  Forty Five that i could SEE all at the same time.  I could hear others around the block squawking and making Peacock sounds.  But i visually, at one time, counted 45 in plain sight.  This is my personal record.  

Perhaps they had gathered to welcome me home?  Maybe!
