Sounds like you are having a great time wearing flowery hats and shirts !!!!! [msnsmile2]
We went to Olive gardens for the first time about a year ago and now make a point of going at leart once each visit.
The weather sounds really good, back to rain here in UK.
Enjoy painting your second coat on the pool deck.
Keep us posted please.

Great to hear other folks doing jobs....just like us. Now, I would have paid money for the photo of you wearing the floppy/flowery hat
I saw him on Skype in that hat it was not a pretty sight

I've been quite jealous reading your reports Tony, envisaging you enjoying the peace and quiet and the weather and the nice meals. Now I'm just green with envy that you actually have nice enough weather to paint your decking. Living in Manchester I just can't get enough dry days to get our decking clean, then let it dry, then get the decking oil on it and still have enough rain-free time for the second coat to dry.
Enjoying the reports though, keep 'em coming.

We did that job last weekend, or rather hubby did. But come on........the weather was nice in Manchester as well last weekend as I went to stay with my sister, whilst hubby did the deck[Originally Posted by Dads_Taxi

Ah well, my mitigating circumstances were that since the kids were off for half-term I was forbidden to make the back garden off-limits. Of course as soon as they went back to school we went back to a Mancunian Summer!
Dave.
you lot do know that was OUR summer??? lol...
glad to hear you enjoyed Olive Garden, it is a nice resterant cant wait to go back there again soon!!
love hearing ur trip report Tony think we should make it a 'rule' that everyone should post a trip report, owners or guests! lol
carry on with the good work Tony.. but watch out could be people hiding out with their cameras waiting to get pics of u n that hat!! lol
thanks again for a few more good days heres to many more and dont work to hard!![beer]

Thanks Liesa x
Well here we are, the last day, all good things must come to an end (talking about being in sunny Florida, not my cranky trip reports !!)
Yesterday was a full on day, started 5.40am with a trip to Home Depot at Poinciana Bld, which opens at 6am, to buy some more decking paint, (only about $150.00 a tub !!) and a few other bits & bobs.
Spoilt myself and went to the Travi's restaurant at the Omi Hotel at Champions Gate for breakfast, very posh, had the buffet brekie for just over $20.00, not bad for the surroundings, but not a place I would go every day at that price !
When I arrived home, opened the paint can, and it was the wrong colour, start panicking, I still had stacks to do, so jumped in the car and shot back down to home depot, but on the way, the electricity company linesmen were replacing the o/h lines near the I - 4 out of 100 feet to 130 feet 'reach' cherry pickers, I slowed down to be nosey, after about 50 metres, looked in the rear view mirror and a police car was trailing me very close, so, so glad for those linesmen, or I would of had a speeding fine !!
Anyway returned back to villa and carried on painting decking, pool guy turns up, does a bit and goes. Got a leak on the pool, so rung Bobby up, and he turned up, within 2 mins of his arrival, he located leak, and repaired within the hour, great service but wondering why I'm paying monthly, my usual pool maintenance company ???
Anyway, after finishing the back garden, carried on pressure washing the drive, (in Tracy's straw hat, it was so hot, at that time I didn't care what I looked like !) for about 4 hours, luckily both neighbours were away, as the motor was loud.
Last night went to a Mexican Restaurant (Le Tenampa ) on the 192, about 2 miles west of Walmart, very colourful and full of Mexicans (strangely enough !) had live music, good buzz, made a change from the usual steak houses.
I'm starving, so off to get some breakfast, speak to you later.
