Departure

I had bought a package of meatloaf meat, a mixture of beef, pork, and veal, because it was on manager’s sale. That meant it had to be cooked right away. I didn’t really have a plan for this meat. I ended up making it into hamburger mix and fried 4 cheeseburgers, one of which I had for breakfast [...]

Head Chef

I dawdled as usual in the morning on another overcast day, made a BLbfhT sandwich, it is a BLT with crispy black forest ham instead of bacon. Phone calls kept coming in, mainly due to the effects of Hurricane Helene. People called me to find out what the local conditions were in St Marys, GA, but I [...]

Pork Chop Hull

The Nao Trinidad was back in town and I discretely went about the marina looking for any of the crew, wondering if I would find any I remembered or conversely, if I would find anyone recognize me. We cooked a huge roast for them when they were in St. Marys, GA, last fall.

Nao Trinidad Redux

Another cheap Chinese car adapter came in, TPMS, Tire Pressure Monitoring System. Atoto has an adapter and 4 tire sensors for about $75. Others are available down to the 40 dollar range. The one I purchased does not pair with the Atoto radio, it has its own solar powered monitor that mounts with double [...]

Atoto ODB2

I was excited about the new car stereo coming in and also the NY Jets first game of the season. The Jets fizzled. The radio is installed in Cornelia Marie's old Honda CRV. It isn't as impressive as it was in the Shanty connected to the internet, but it does what I want, and the stereo is quite good. . An [...]

Atoto Success

After selling my Miata about 5 years ago I have not owned a car up till now. I would rent a vehicle whenever I needed one. My Miata had a simple car radio, but it was an oldie. The rentals had increasingly sophisticated radios, or more correctly communication devices. Cornelia Maries's old Honda [...]

The Clincher

Cap'n Chef Andy | cold front rain wind
We decided to go to Amelia Island for the day, probably to the beach. Our plan to cycle around on the Raleigh 20’s seemed like a bad idea, Bleu can’t keep up with a bicycle for very long and when he quits he quits. So we would walk, where?, Fort Clinch State Park. She has a forever pass for Florida state parks, so in we went. We drove around and ended up at the fort. We started hiking and went down to the beach. We could see the whole of St Marys Entrance, the inlet to Cumberland Sound.
.
I oriented Eloisa as to where the ship channel markers where and we watched a sailboat battle the wind and current, both of which were strong, headed for the Fernandina Beach anchorage. We hiked around and I said we are going in the wrong direction. Maybe we could get back by following the beach path. She wanted to keep going the way we were going and I could tell we would be on a long trek.
.
We came to another section of beach near a campground and we followed the beach to a sign that said there was a trail to the parking area where we were parked. We hiked the trail. Fort Clinch has some hills and sand dunes populated by trees and brush. A deer ran across the path in front of us. Bleu was exhausted enough to pretend to not notice the deer.
.
We made it to the parking areas near the fort and were happy to land in the car. I mentioned the ice cream shop on Sadler Road. We could be there in less than an hour. And we were.
.
I said Cherry Mocha out loud. Perhaps the ice cream shop would have that flavor. It did not. I got a bowl of mocha chocolate and strawberry ice cream, a scoop of each. Yum.
.
We bought tickets for the Cumberland Island ferry to make a day trip and hike around on that island. Basically it’s a 4 hour visit and it worked out to about $30/person/hour. The ferry leaves in the morning two times, we chose the later 11:45 departure. It’s about 45 minutes to the docks at Cumberland Island.
.
We hiked across the island to the ocean side beach. We saw an armadillo and at the end a horse calmly trotted through the ferry dock area just before we left the island. I took a lot of photos. I remarked it’s just like Fort Clinch but more expensive to get there.
.
On our return we stopped at Southern River Walk. We are meeting more and more local people. Happy Hour ends at 6, so we made sure we cashed out in time. More friends arrived and we started a new tab. A band called Whiskey Heart set up their equipment and began playing. We stayed to listen. Very good.
.
The next day I expected to be sore from all that hiking. Let’s go to the beach. We poked around at Fort Clinch. It had become windy and chilly. I took photos of St. Marys Entrance, the inlet from the ocean. A formation of support craft were gathering, I presume to escort a submarine into Cumberland Sound to the submarine base.
.
Once again we returned to Southern River Walk and had the special soup of the day, Sweet Pepper Gouda Bisque. This time we left before the band started playing.
.
The next day was chilly and rainy. A good day to stay inside and read and write. I had the last of the frozen cream of chicken florentine soup. Time to make another batch of soup. I binge watched Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. Jerry Seinfeld hosting a comedian in an exotic car, talking and getting coffee. Some of the episodes are so so, but some are very good, especially when he has someone like Robert Klein onboard.
.
Eloisa camped in Fort Clinch for a couple days. It was time to do laundry, shop, and recoup from the nasty weather.
.
