Cooldown

End of the day near Pass-a-Grille

We've been in Florida for nearly four weeks and tomorrow we'll put most of our stuff in the vehicle, so that we'll have an easy out on Sunday. Our goal is Chattanooga on Sunday evening, still in the Eastern time zone. We'll gain our CDT hour on Tuesday.

It was almost sunny for my morning swim. I had an unexpected pleasure when a fellow tenant I was chatting with mentioned a computer problem. Of course I was eager to dive in, but was unable to solve the first (described as a failure to connect to the Sunrise network) but really a problem with Internet Explorer settings, I think.

It was hard for me to see outside near the pool, and I ran out of battery, so gave up after awhile. The old ThinkPad didn't have up-to-date virus protection, and there were some Windows (XP) issues as well, so I wasn't too keen on continuing the troubleshooting. I did fix an email issue and was happy to have the opportunity to do a little iPad coaching, so that made my day.

We took a walk on the Gulfport Pier this afternoon and had an early dinner at Leverock's. Relaxing on the deck now, watching a guy fishing on the pier. He is being stalked by a pelican, a great blue heron and an egret, who seem to have a lot of patience waiting for the odd bite. I think it would be easier for them to do their own fishing.
