This guy and his use of the Florida state bird. I see enough of that on I-95

 
My nightmare was I-4. Took 45 minutes to go about half a mile into Orlando and there was no way around it... there is really nothing I miss about that state.

When you see it how often is it coming from your own car? 
 
Thanks for the memories.  I95 and South Dixie could just be the worst.

 

Haha Ive been a good boy, too many road ragers and my way works more efficiently. I put on my gay glasses and do a certain mouth gesture and they usually run away muhahaha

Yes I despise I-4 with a passion, I avoid like the plague. Then you havent gone to key west haha

You get those for free when the farmer across the road, to the west or east of you, oh heck, or north of you plant twenty square miles of soybeans.
 
Only thing, they bite, they stink when you squish 'em, and your wife will leave you if you don't keep the windows and doorsills clean of them...

If they bite they are not the true (as we know it) lady bug. It is the strain that came into the US from Asia that bites.

Yep, I knew they were the invasive bugs, but they are the bugs what come with the soybeans....we get 'em every year, aphids or no....

I agree, thankfully these are native to USA. Good article

No soy here homie, this is orange grove and sugar cane country
Glad we dont get the Asia invasives, we just get invasive flatworms, boa constrictors and Asian tiger mosquitoes.

Are they complaining about the humidity yet? Us Californians love to do that..

Yikes boa constrictors hell to the no

Not to mention the Burmese Pythons.  But the Asian Tiger Mosquitoes are much, much worse.

Can't forget about snowbirds!  They are beginning their great migration north this time of year.  Early arrivals can be found stopped at a green light and checking out in the fast lane with more than 15 items.
 
Florida also gets Publix (chicken tender) subs which I am addicted to.   But I digress...
 
 
Weekly check-in.  I've been switching up my diesel / lighter fluid mixture.  I'm also contemplating building a better insulated tent over the summer.

Damn, some real stunners showing up.

Mine are still in solo cups

Aint it the truth and who can forget the mow you over merge in their boat of a Grand Marquee .

I gotta say, that bushy bass-turd might just take us all out. I see blooms galore
Well done

 

[Edmick]

A view from the bottom. Filling in nicely. Lots of blooms and buds with pods setting. Nighttime temps are becoming more favorable so everything should be transitioning outside very soon.
