Bitpusher is coming to Florida

“Cocoa Beach, specifically, for a week from July 27 (first full day) to August 1 (last full day). Any TT'ers in that area?”

“i'll go with you, bit!!! i can crunch in the trunk~~”

“You can do better than that, I'm going down with my family and my brother's family, and we'll have two vans! One will have the wives and kids, and the other me and my brother (not the deadbeat one). You could even have a seat!”

“Have a good time, but don't let this happen to you.”

“lol SS!!!

how many brothers you have anyway, bitpusher??”

“Ha! The sun and I are hardly on speaking terms. Hopefully I won't be spending a lot of time outside, lol...”

“3. I'm the oldest. My deadbeat, bad-boy brother is 37. My EE, Boeing-employed brother is 35. My youngest, newly-married brother, who some TT'ers (like Ewker) met on the Fiery Gizzard trip, is 27.

It makes it confusing when I talk about my brothers, I know. Sorry. Mom tried to have a girl but failed.”

“Tell tommy ol' StoveStomper said "hey"!”

“poor mom......you guys must have driven her crazy growing up!!”

“I sure will, SS, next time I see him.

yam, she was already crazy. It wasn't our fault.”

“tommypusher??”

“Haven't figured out a trailname for him yet. He's always stopping to take pictures, (he's a photographer) so I'm thinking "shutterbug" or something similar would do.”

“yam - You missed your chance with Tommy. He's a tall, slim, nice, quiet guy.
Not at all like his big brother. ;)”

“SS--i missed my chance?? he's married?? oh well i can break them up!!! hahahaha. (btw i'm just kidding on that one)

bit--i bet your dad drove your mom crazy. men have a tendency to do that, you know. (it's never the woman's fault.)”

“I am in Orlando; it's about an hour away from Cocoa. Ya going to Disney World?”

“Not this trip, tango...that one is coming in October. No, my wife just wanted two Florida vacations this year.

yam...I'm pretty sure my mom was driven crazy by her sister.”

“You should go to Canaveral National Sea Shore. It is a natural beach, and very beautiful. There is also miles of 'fire' and duck hunting roads to drive on and a short trail called Black Oak Hammock, it's probably about 1 mile long. Very peaceful and pretty with docks out over the swampy areas to see the wildlife. Might be a nice side trip.”

“Thanks tango, I'll keep it in mind.

You did mean "natural", not "naturist" beach, right? Gonna have my kids with me, lol...”

“Natural at all the parking areas until the last one (If I remember correctly there are 12). The naturists park at the last one (the northern most) then walk a mile or so farther north to practice their lifestyle. But I haven't heard anything about them in ages.”

“OK cool.”

“Leaving tomorrow, won't get there until Sunday afternoon probably. Don't know if I will have web access down there. I might, but I'm not holding my breath.

I guess I really should get a cheap laptop, eh? lol...”

“Hope your trip goes better than mine. All last week in Orlando and it rained every day for most of the day.”

“Ooh, that reminds me, check the forecast...”

“Good idea bit, me 2.”

“Yay! Scattered thunderstorms all week long!!!

Thanks, honey, this was a great idea!”

“Scattered T-Storms this weekend for Michigan too, rat farts!

OH well, maybe I get to see how the new tent repels water?”

“At least you won't have three bored kids in it...or will you?”

“No, can't fit anything but me. I will have Crazy Mike with me though.”

“Hmmm. Not sure which will be worse!

Apologies to Crazy Mike...”

“well, i hope you manage to have a good time there, bitpusher.
;-)”

“HA HA!”

“Thanks, lyra. I'll certainly try.

Something tells me I'm going to be drinking a lot next week.”

“Well, the van's all packed, and we're heading out in the morning.

Wish me luck, and watch for headlines from Cocoa Beach, Florida.”
