The weather was beautiful here this past weekend with a high yesterday in the low 70's! All it did was make us more ready for Florida.

We spent the day cleaning...the kayaks have been unwrapped from their winter covers, the truck was washed, systems checked and the cab de-junked. We started checking and packing the fishing gear. We figured that it would be better to have the Florida gear ready so we don't have to worry about it along with everything else!

Ken's sister had a massive stroke last week and is in critical condition. This could be the second family funeral in as many weeks and the second run to Ohio.

Lay-offs started at work last week with more to come this week. I took a demotion with a 10% cut in pay; but, I consider that lucky at this point.

We are really looking forward to this trip and can't wait to see y'all!
