This area is experiencing Florida’s version of Indian Summer. The high temperatures and humidity of the summer season went away in the middle of October. Daytime highs were in the low eighties and overnight temperatures got into the sixties many nights. Over the last few days the weather has rebounded. The temperature hit new record highs in the low nineties on a couple of days recently. The humidity was high again as well. If this was July or August, the temperature would be considered comfortable. In early November these conditions are not as welcome. Indian Summer in the northeast is a far more welcoming phenomena.

I started to work on my next woodworking project on Friday. I am tackling the headboard for the bed next. I was making good progress before I decided to use my router on the wrong side of a line. It is a recoverable mistake, but the outdoor working conditions the last couple of days have kept me from working on the project. The return to standard time has also had an impact. If I don’t get started well before noon, the amount of available work time contributes to the procrastination factor.

My daily walk around the resort is between a half mile and a mile. If I do the complete perimeter it is a little over a mile and a half. The complicating factor is the hillside. When I depart my base camp I can go up hill first or down hill. Either way I get a little more exercise than the distance would indicate.

The park continues to come back to life with every returning residence. There are other changes in the works as well. There are more units up for sale now than during the summer and many others have for rent signs up. Of the three units behind mine, one is for sale, one is for rent and the third is for rent or sale.
