Welcome from the opposite of Florida. Minnesota that is. Did live in PBC back in the early 2000 then got the hell out.

Haha. Getting out is on my list of things to do. I want to live in winterland instead of a swamp. I see all these people doing cook videos complaining it's too cold outside or that it's snowing. I'll take too cold over sweating from stepping outside for 30 seconds to light my gas grill while also being attacked by mosquitos.

Welcome from a winter Florida resident (south Clermont). We retreat to Minnesota for the summer to escape the heat.

Winter sucks. Mosquitos up in the winterland make up for it in short summer months.
I love a Florida winter.

....
last 10 have been either in the Middle East or Central FL with majority focus on newbuild theme park projects.

I guessed you're part of the "Epic"?

Forgot to mention: In December we are having a gathering for camping and cooking. search forum for 14th annual south Florida 2025 gathering. not exactly in SFlorida but out gatherings are a hoot.

Here's the link

Wife and I rent an RV for the weekend. Pricey but about the same cost as getting a motel for 3 nights.

Yes indeed. Can't say much about what we've done for NDA reasons, but we expect some relief on that front soon and to be able to talk more openly about our contributions!

I have an acquaintance that used to be one of our vendors who ended up moving to ETC in orlando who I know worked on epic universe. Excited to chat em up about it at infocomm.

Also, unrelated, put the deposit in on my shirley. Excited but wowza smokers are expensive now. I wish I got into this 5 years ago when people were getting them for 1/3rd the price. lol
