We finally made it down to Tampa.  We’ve settled into Robert’s folks place and I will spend the next couple/few weeks consulting for Bernini and Malios.

We are going down to Key West Race Week, where Robert and our friend George Smith will race with Bob Glaser on his boat, Orangutan.  I’m going to hang out and ‘chill’ for a few days, which should be fun.  Our friend Brian Tyrrell (from Washington) will be down as well, along with numerous Tampa friends, so it’ll be a good time.

February will find us in Tampa through mid-month, then we’ll begin our drive back through Colorado and up to B.C.  We’ll spend some time in Colorado visiting friends and family and plan to arrive back home around the beginning of March.

March and April have been colder than normal months.  We are doing some work on our place, but not as much as planned.  In late April, we located a bank repo home in Bonners Ferry about five miles from our other place.  We put in a bid on it, and after a couple weeks of negotiations/bidding, we found out that we had the accepted offer.   The home was in the midst of being remodeled, so we will be spending May and part of June down there working on it.
