The Brittish are coming! 
Glad you got down safe. I sure miss the SE. Remember, its "y'all" - one syllable, singular. "All y'all" is the plural. Tea is iced and sweet. You can't get just one grit, so don't ask.
Also, sand on pavement can be as slick as ice. Keep one rear wheel on the pavement when pulling off onto the beach.
And finally - Those weird looking little birds hovering around you are really mosquitos.

Went to the DMV yesterday to register my cars and they told me that it's gone - along with all variations of it

Glad to see you made it to the south...I'll be there in 18 days
did you see this story? now you something else to look out for
The fellow in the pictures is Larry Earley. He lives about 30 miles from Orlando, in the very rural community of Okahumpka, just off the Florida turnpike in Lake County, Florida. He has 20 acres of land and on it, a few cows and horses. Mostly it's pasture land that is fenced with woods surrounding him.
He is neighbored by a larger cattle ranch.
His neighbor has complained for several years that wild hogs had been raiding his cattle feeders and salt licks.
Last month he saw what he thought was a cow in his pond and went to see if it was stuck in the mud and would have to be pulled out! When he got close enough to realize it was a hog, the thing made a charge at him. He had driven his truck down to the pond and carries a pistol in it (as any Florida redneck would, and I say that with genuine affection). He got his handgun and when it came at him again, he shot it twice and killed it.
Wild hogs in Florida usually run from 100-400 pounds with a 400 pounder being a monster. Because this one had been feasting on grain for several years it had grown to mammoth size. When Larry took it to the processor it weighed in at over 1100 pounds! The meat has no wild taste, as it was grain fed; and Larry is quite the hero. He has fed many fireman and provided the homeless shelter in downtown Orlando with a couple of meals.

Great beater. I'll keep it - good for parts runs when Grond is down.
