Sunday , April 30: Brooksville, Then Driving to Larry’s

Today’s our last day in Crystal Lake. It’s very windy outside. I had breakfast 

with Larry and Veronica downstairs. at the hotel.  There were some some young people from Sweden 🇸🇪 sitting next to us, eating, breakfast. One was Asian 

and others were basic white people. Anyhow, no, we left the hotel at 10:26 AM and we’re happy. We cleared out the hotel room at the Hampton Inn, and drove down to see 
the monkeys

 at. Boyett's Grove  @ Brooksville, FL. But this place was real trip. They had a general store type place. They sold oranges and
 had this exhibit of all kinds of different things such as old western culture, Elvis, Marilyn Monroe it was a hodgepodge indoor place. Outside of the place, they 

had it a place where you could feed different animals, such as llamas and goats, and pigs, etc., it was pretty cool. It was very windy out but it was sunny and we didn’t have any rain. We 

hung out there for about an hour and a half. It was then time to head out 

so we went to the gas station for me to pay the gas on the way 

back and drive. We stopped at a local Wawa to get a snack since eating in 

Larry‘s car is verboten, or for bidden as the English speakers would say. 

 I got myself a burrito at the Wawa as long as well as a diet iced tea. We sat by the Wawa outdoor area which they have in Florida and Saint Nate. It’s 130 right now. Actually 1:39 PM 
and Larry is elected me to drive. So I will not be posting until we do it in stock or weed at the Olive Garden which is Larry’s choice. Anyhow, it’s at 2:50 PM. We’re

 about a half mile from the turnpike. Veronica had to go to the bathroom to get the pork roll quick so I figured I would too. We’re at the Circle K maybe they have super coffee here

 another they have it here I’m getting it nobody can stop me. Anyhow, we left the Circle K convenient store. I hopped back in the driver seat and we drove down the Florida turnpike for 

about 200 miles. I said that cruise control and try to top Veronica‘s record of 40.1 miles a gallon. The cruise control was cool, because when there was a car in for it automatically

 slowed the car down, so I didn’t have to accelerate and use gas so I just put the car on 75 miles an hour half the cars passed me because the speed limit 70 and everybody wants to do 80 and above. 

As we got home we got off the highway and stopped at the local Olive 

Garden which is about 2 1/2 miles from Larry‘s place in that place hit the spot. I have some pasta 

and a whole bunch of salad which they just , give you unlimited 

amounts and then add split three ways this cake with lemon and

 with strawberries and a strawberry syrup on it. That was really good

. My phone then died. I had a little bit of yogurt is an apéritif took

 my meds and I’m gonna get this phone charged up and then create three small

 short movies with Veronica and Larry’s gonna take a walk. It’s now 7:25 PM. The weather 



is now beautiful here. When we get back home, and I need a couple movies with Veronica. They wereshort and fairly easy easy to make. We then watched 
the law and order we missed two days ago three days ago, because of all the tornado warnings that came and went. Turns out last night but you need a touchdown in Palm Beach Gardens and parts of North Palm 

Beach. Nothing happened here but it was an hour to strength 28 with 130 mile 

an hour winds. It’s quite scary looking. I don’t think anybody was killed thank goodness.

Saturday, April 29: A Trip to Monkey Island

Well, I got up from my hotel room after sleeping well. I did

 have an interruption because of my right shoulder, which was aching but I went back to sleep and had a weird dream that somehow Penn released all this old stuff from


 Wes and his friends and stuff from 40 years ago it was a treasure trove 

of Memories. I woke up pretty refreshed we didn’t eat breakfast at 

the breakfast place and then headed out to monkey Island to go kayaking. 

We first had to undo our kayaks blow them up, set them up, etc. etc. My least

 favorite part about sailing or kayaking or anything. It’s a silly set up that it takes. It went very smoothly which was good. How is fear? It’s gonna be 

a problem and it wasn’t a problem.  Anyhow, went to the monkey Island and 

we find out the monkeys were on vacation because they’re redoing the

 island or something. There another place that we found out 

was about 15 minutes away on the way home, so we’re gonna do 

that tomorrow. The rain that was threatened. All day has not really started at all. We didn’t get wet from the rain at all. We didn’t get back to the hotel, showered

 and then went back to the monkey bar restaurant grab some grub. The place is right along the same body of water. We went kayaking on. It’s a whole resort

. If you wanna stay here and rent out a cottage.  But we ordered small size pizza, and an appetizer on top of it. 


It after we eat here. It’s 3:10 PM and rain is starting to trickle down at this point. Well, after we ate, went to a souvenir store, but it wasn’t all that great. We 



then took a quick trip to the dollar tree in Veronica’s request and he thunder is starting to intensify. what about the time we got 

out the dollar tree there was a full-fledged thunderstorm with pouring rain and

 thunder and lightning. Disability was so bad. We went past the 
hotel. It was not fun and we got back and started watching a bit of TV including law and order. I read that there was a tornado that struck a North Palm Beach, 
near the PGA Highway and US one. There was a video of it chipping over a car. That’s a little scary 

over there in North Palm Beach but everyone survived and it got some property damage. They did have

 a tornado watch. I found out because my app was stuck on last night until the Internet go through so I was able to detect that.
