I'm sorry about the cart! That business sounds like an old school smarmy car dealership. We can only hope for karma for people like your salesman. Don't say what the material is where the ding is, but if it's metal, maybe a car ding repair person could get it out?
The stare down between the dogs! Lol!
I was wondering what the flaming app was, now to look up what Saganaki is!
And just like that, you now weigh less than me! Today I was 120.8!
The golf cart resolution is not what we had hoped for. I guess the cart was made in 2022-2023 and then discontinued. It was a $18,000 cart that they are now selling for $8,000. I guess the discount is twofold, one they want to get rid of the old model and two they have been sitting in a warehouse in Orlando for a few years and may have some cosmetic damage ( which the one that was delivered to us does). Our salesperson told us none of this. If fact he led us to believe it was a new model stating that nobody in our community would probably have one like it! I guess we should have held to the old addage if the deal is too good to be true, it probably is too good to be true. We did see a cart on there lot that had just been sold and it looked fine to us. They just didn?t have the color we wanted so had to get from their Fort Myers store. The GM said they couldn?t exchange because the warranty is already in our name (we call BS on that one). The only offer we got is to pick up the cart and fix the things wrong with it (blinker that doesn?t work and some loose wires that are hanging out) but too bad so sad about the ding on the front of the cart. We were also offered a free one year pickup and maintenance package which I guess is a $400 value - big whoop! The cart is really nice looking in general, I?ll post a pic on TT later. We are just concerned about getting parts down the road for any maintenance issues and wonder if the discontinuation of the model is for poor performance (reviews online are varied). Grrrrr, live and learn!
Off to water aerobics right now! Will post more about the day later!
Edited to add: well, water aerobics didn't happen. The pool heater had not yet caught up to the cold snap and the water was too cold for me, especially since there is still a bit of a cool breeze even if the outside temp is 60 ( which is my cutoff for attending water aerobics). The ladies already in the water said to come on in, I made it to mid calf and said no. They think I'm being wimpy but most of them have way more insulation than me. I just don't tolerate cold well. Perhaps on Saturday! Tomorrow is Bible study and Friday morning I get my tooth extracted. Fun, fun!
DH is golfing so I intend to work on my Bible study and perhaps make the photo cards I didn't work on yesterday! Might have to do Bible studying in the sun or at least on the patio. I did take the dogs for their little jaunt around the neighborhood.

120.6 - still a downward trend.
It was finally warm enough to sit outside without a jacket yesterday! We went to Key West in the early afternoon and had some amazing tapas! The waitress told us most people get 3 plates per person ultimately but start with 2 per person. The four of us got 4 plates to start and added 2 afterwards. So 1.5 plates per person which seemed to be plenty (though I just asked DH and he said he would have liked another plate). Pictures on FB - the flaming one was Saganaki. All were incredibly yummy.
When we got back to the house, Justice and I sat outside for an hour or so in the sun. Finally! The dog across the canal was quite intrigued with Justice. See pics below.
No plan yet today other than a Justice walk. We have a new route which keeps us off of US 1 most of the time. The prior 2 days we walked on the bike/walking path next to the highway. It is supposed to be even warmer than yesterday with sun. Maybe just stay outside a lot!
Have a well-fed Wednesday!

Congratulations on beating the Shark! Always a good day when that occurs.
Good idea for anyone reaching our age bracket to have a handicap accessible shower. We never know when it might be needed. I feel nervous when we have guests our age and they have to use the tub/shower in the guest bathroom.
I miss robins! Supposedly they come to Florida in the winter but I have never noticed any where we are.

Super productive cleaning day! Do you start to get OCD sometimes with the power washer (I do)? I see how good one area looks and keep on going past where I planned or going back over what I did until it looks perfect. Used to take me a day to power wash my deck but I could hire someone who would do it in 1/3 the time. Of course my job was more thorough LOL.

Thankfully at our elevation we don't get the haboobs they get down in the Phoenix valley but there's still enough dirt around here to pick up and blow around with a good wind!
Good idea for gimpy friend to consider modifying her bathroom. We have a walk in shower, a soaker tub and a tub/shower combo in the guest bathroom so all options are covered except for a walk in bathtub. I always thought that the user would get cold as the water drained so they could get out!
One of my best friends in WI posted pics of Robins in her yard right now! It certainly isn't 60 in WI and not close to being Spring. Now sure what those robins are thinking!

Oh my goodness girl! You were a whirlwind of cleaning energy! I bet there is a lot of satisfaction in getting all of that done.
You should get a commission for marketing the window bot. Made most of us on here want one!
Cool about your friend going to Antarctica. Brrrrrr'

Greetings all
Still sunny here. Like really sunny. The drive past the bay to go to Scrabble was lovely as the new overpass gives a great bay view. It looked very calm. So scrabble was fun. I beat the Shark and won one other. Our hostess is gimping around using a walker and will have pt later. They ruled out all the really bad stuff but still not sure what happened. I think I convinced her to spend some money and get her bathroom remodeled to have a handicap accessible shower. I am grateful we did ours a few years ago as I am not sure I could safely get in and out of a traditional tub shower. After that I stopped at the studio for a bit but got hungry and came home. I plan on making grilled roast beef sandwhiches tonight.
Paula the red curry soup sounds good. The local hippie dippy grocery often has fresh quail eggs. I am not sure why one would want those but they are cute and spotted. Once someone gave me a couple of goose eggs and I made deviled eggs from then and they were giant!! Did not taste good. Anyway I am sure the red curry will be excellent. Hope the golf cart issues are resolved satisfactorily.
CC what a whirlwind of stuff to get done! I never realized how dusty AZ is but it makes sense as there are not lawns like the midwest. Does Kirby watch the window washer?
Well Liz not exactly a great dining experience for you with the EMTs at the restaurant. Hope the rest of your stay is less eventful. Key West. How fun.
Not much else. I need to stop at the pharmacy but can wait a day. Thursday I have to go to the dentist and get the new crown installed (channeling DD on worrying about the dentist) even though this one is good. The last crown she did came from the lab and did not fit right so had to be redone. Hoping that does NOT happen.
Our back yard is full of robins. It is 60 degrees so I guess that qualifies as spring.
