Saw this at my local marina while on my morning run. Thought it would be on the lot a while At the “discounted” price but noticed it was gone that afternoon. View attachment 239598
But it rides like crap. If you want to fit 20 of your bro’s/bimbos who haven’t moved off campus yet, make a stupid wake, and blare music no one else wants to hear, then that’s a screaming deal. Lol

Every time we’re out in our 255 I’m impressed how it takes waves/wakes and we are able to cruise even with a huge top on. Buddies boat that is shorter, albeit weighs more, rides like poo. I ask him why he bought it, he said because it looks cool…
 
Many buckets of tomatoes, a bucket every other day. Wife processing for Winter. We grew mainly paste tomatoes.

Surprised that you don't have many critters eating your garden overnight. Or do you?

We have it fenced off. Only problem was voles eating the cucumber vines at the ground, we trellis them. Pickling cukes we’re untouched but the long salad cukes were decimated earlier this summer. The garden is in a 100’x30’ greenhouse.

The garden is in here, this is about half of the greenhouse. I put this sides 6-mil plastic on last week. Excuse the tall goldenrod along the fence.

20 years ago it was our lambing barn.

Hilton Head shrimp boats and a flying saucer. No kidding - Enlarge the picture.
Flying two kites - one attached to tent - wife says I need bigger toys. Guess I should trade the 210 FSH for something bigger!!!

Love it. I'm a sucker for a good kite!

I'll be in Hilton Head mid October. Golfing more than beaching, but still.
 
Put some new rubber on the Rivian. Dropped from a 275/65/20 to a 275/60/20. Hoping for a bit more effeciency, and I didn't need that extra 1/2in of ground clearance. Stuck with ATs due to Buffalo snow trends, but these are a click closer to street tires. Have another OffRoad event in early November, we'll see if I really miss that ground clearance.

My 17yr old daughter took me on a cruise for my birthday/last trip before going to basic training in the Airforce in January. Great trip other than all the glaring looks we got because I was with such a young girl, come on everyone, I'm 39 today, and she's my daughter LOL. 4th cruise total, 2nd this year and really loving the fact we are 25 minutes from the house to the Port of Tampa.

Hillsborough County Sherriff and USCG Port Security doing their checks before we departed.

Going under the Skyway Bridge leaving Tampa, only about 6' of clearance from the stacks and St. Pete in the distance

Closest you can get to Niagara Falls by boat. There's a white sign up there that says "If you go past here you WILL die". I wanted to go take a close picture of that, but there was a border patrol boat nearby, and I'm still rocking expired IN tags and no boater credentials.

That small mist in the center there are the falls. It's usually a much more interesting sight. Not so much today.

Also a cool bridge from the east side of Tonawanda Island.

And a shot from Erie Canal, just in from the Niagara River.

The great part of this is that the current weather pattern has brought South Florida with excellent golf weather for the last 2 weeks! I’m enjoying this to the fullest until we get one right up the gut.
 
Beautiful weather for a trip.
