Re: Moving to Florida?

Hi, I used to live in Delray for 7 years...2 in an Apartment and 5 in a house. I left in 2006. I can't say much about the schools as I have no children...a lot of my friends opted for private schools for their kids. Delray was a great place to live, Atlantic Avenue was fun to go to at night and on w...

My favorite hurricane website: http://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/TC.html

If it's good enough for the US Navy - it works for me too...not alot of fluff - just good info.

Stay prepared...

All the best,

I agree with Anthony on the paint quality...you truly get what you pay for...do go with a tinted primer for dark top coat applications - check with a "paint store" or the paint manufacturer for the correct primer tint. I've done my fair share of painting. The substrate should be clean and ...

I'd use some basic caution and find out from your rental company who is expected on the grounds while you are there and who has key access...also be prudent and either lock up in the safe, or hide any valuables...or only bring what you can stand to "lose"...I've asked for (and received) th...

LMG, I agree... I have an I Phone also (and thought the clip above was hilarious). When the I Phone dies...I'll figure out what's next. I'm not one that has to have the latest and greatest to validate myself. I prove it daily by driving a 1996 pickup or 1999 Honda...but both are still new to me with...

I learned on a stick and loved it...still do, but currently do not have one. I prefer the control you have with them, especially trans braking in quick thinking situations. I did not like the 3 on the tree's though...what a challenge those were!

Hi MBW, I save until I cover the villa/airline expense. When that's covered...the rest is how much I want to spend on daily expenses, boat trips, rental car, restaurants (or Grocery Store)...etc. I only go every 2 years and bring 2x the cash I think I'll need. I figure a few hundred a day...and that...

I've done a half and half mix of fresh ground pork and fresh ground chuck. I have a grinder on the mixer head of the Kitchen Aid. Pepper, garlic through a press and grated onion for seasoning before grilling. Salt if desired after it's done cooking. Makes a basic, juicy burger.
