Wiffle ball was fine, the pitching location was often much closer due to irregular field dimensions.

At around 1:00 today, I remarked to myself, "Wow, this day is going by pretty fast!"
9 hours later, I checked my watch and it was 1:15.
I am sure that Islamorada is not unique in the Keys, but it has canals for boats that empty out into the Gulf. That's where I saw the manatees. There were not really any waves, but I think you need a bigger kayak (i.e. a sea kayak) as opposed to my little 10' and 14' river kayaks.
Will leave a kayak for you tomorrow at the boar ramp, with the paddle. The cooler with your Bloody Mary thermos will be chilling in the bushes nearby. Just let me know if you want a slice of the spinach and cheese quiche or the prosciutto and cheese quiche, so I can throw that in the cooler as well.
Supposed to be 80 and sunny, so bring sun screen. I'll be headed up-stream so I can float more on the way back.
I guess that means more Bloody Mary imbibing for me. {drat the luck}
I've never tried this, but I do not think that the Etowah River Mine Tunnel is too far from Clemson (maybe 2 hours or so):

OF course, lots of great spots near Hartwell and along the Savannah too.
Tonight is senior prom for the youngest Turk, my baby Sunshine. (yikes!). Her brothers are coming home tonight after finals. The trees are exploding in green this past week; if you could stand still and watch for 15-30 minutes, I bet you'd actually be able to see them leaf out in real time.
As for kayaks, the Schuylkill River between Phoenixville and Valley Forge is surprisingly scenic and remarkably kayak-friendly, nary an abandoned factory or sunken coal barge in sight. Mrs. Turk likes to paddle upstream on a restored section of canal for a mile or two, port the kayak over to the river, and float back down. Makes a nice afternoon lap, with no pick-up / drop-off / second car logistics.
Cyclists can go from Reading (or farther points north, if they don't mind a bit of on-road cycling) to downtown Philly on the Schuylkill River Trail; with perhaps a stop at the Sly Fox brewery (https://www.slyfoxbeer.com/) for an "SRT Ale", where they donate a portion of the proceeds to the trail.

Has anyone been to the Ringing Rocks Park in Bucks County, PA? http://www.visitbuckscounty.com/list...ocks-park/453/
Very interesting to get out of the car and watch people start off down the trail carrying hammers. I didn't know where we were going so the hammers looked really odd.
I passed through both US cities that refer to themselves as the Queen City yesterday. I also happened to watch Bohemian Rhapsody while on the plane en route. Coincidence?
Yes, I’ve lived in both. And just realized I went through Atlanta not Charlotte. Umm, my mistake.
Headed to look at a car I bought a few years ago that I was storing in an acquaintances barn. He needs the space back so I’m moving it to a storage unit.
What a glorious weekend.
A formal protest was filed this morning.
And in other news, air conditioning season in South Central Texas is now upon us.
Kayaking Saturday and Sunday with DaughterPK, who is home for a few days before her final exams.
OPK is smiling, even though at the office and referring to himself in the third person.
Gonna be a warm week here, teetering on 90 every day with lows in the upper 60's. Pool probably swimmable in the next few days, if not already.
