The humor thread is longer at over 700 pages . The Mods actually tried to put the humor thread into the "generalist section"...and some members complained...so they brought it back. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted April 6, 2021 #12403 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Nice day on the Silver River today. One shot is of one of the many natural springs that bubble out of the ground...and is actually 30 feet deep at that spot. Turtles were cute as they were lining up on the "gangplank". 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a good day, and nice to get away for a change. 😉 Hitting the river again tomorrow, but much earlier to beat the tourist crunch at the launch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were watching reruns of Iron Chef America on Sat night. Potato chips were the secret ingredient. Alex Guarnichelli made mashed potatoes with them. (I might not have spelled her name correctly.)

Easy set up, nice large site which is one of our favorites with full hook up (sewer) so I don't have to feel guilty taking my shower in the land yacht and filling up the gray water tank. 😉 Blackened shrimp on the griddle followed our happy hour on the "patio". Today, taking the kayaks down the beautiful and crystal clear Silver River. It's a natural spring, with various movies and TV shows that have been shot here on location over the years. Sea Hunt (for you other oldsters) was one of them. They also filmed some of the old Tarzan movies. Lots of Manatees floating around, which are sooo tame. 🙂 Old zoo used to be here as well, with monkeys that escaped and are still here. We see them often. I also travel with a bird feeder and feeder pole, which is up now with grateful "tweets" from the locals. You're in my neighborhood. And I'm in yours😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mets07 Posted April 6, 2021 #12419 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Happy to report: 1) I got the Pfizer vaccine shot 1 today. I know, unbelievable, finally occurred for me in New Jersey. It was under the auspices of a hospital .... they are using a community center and there must have been at least 150 people on line (in queue) wrapping around the building outside. I thought I might be there forever, but the line moved rapidly and there were at least 20 people doing the registration and 20 doing the shots. It took about 50 minutes total including the time in line and the 15 minutes waiting post-vaccine shot. I don't want to jinx myself but barely nothing in terms of a reaction so far. I expected more pain or something when getting the shot but it was barely anything. 2) My husband and I went out to dinner. My birthday was yesterday. 3) I took these photos on the way back to our house after dinner. Local reservoir..... 3 shots: Further magnolia blooming: Hope you are all doing well. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations on getting your #1 shot. And no reaction is good news. I felt fine after the first one. 2nd is in two weeks. Your magnolia is beautiful. Ours didn't do much this year because we had it severely pruned during the summer. But next year it will be back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love this thread and camaraderie and friendship it has fostered but it seems odd to continue posting on this thread, a thread about life in lockdowns. My life has returned completely to normal. I'm working long hours, we eat in restaurants, we're going to church, we're going to amusement parks. I will be traveling extensively starting this week. My first of four flights over the next two months is Friday. Except for having to wear a mask occasionally inside sometimes and not being able to cruise, my life is no different today than it was in February of 2020. Hopefully, we'll all be back on a ship soon. So, about a year ago, I declared you the best poster ever. How did I not notice you the 3-4 prior years? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
