Friday

 

Busy week. Here are some pics. 
Causeway walk



We've been having trouble with our garage door opener. We thought we might need a new motor, which got us thinking about upgrading the door to a hurricane resistant door. The technician came out and made some adjustments to fix the opener and said we didn't need to upgrade the door unless we really wanted to. So, we'll wait until we have to do something.

We took our car in for service and got this 2025 NX loaner. Unlike the garage door company, Lexus recommended quite a list of things to do: A through N items. 

We like our 2016 better than the 2025. There's too much electronic stuff that seems unnecessary: door openers, engine shut off at stop lights, weird gear shifter (push a button for park but move the shifter lever over and then up and back for drive or reverse), the tailgate now has two buttons and neither one of them would close the hatch. I googled it to learn if we were doing something wrong and discovered it's a common malfunction with dozens of ways to try and "fix" it. I did learn that one of the buttons will wait 30 seconds before closing the hatch, in case you were unloading items.

This week was all about the garage and stuff in the garage.

We did find time to walk: Pinellas Trail

Hammock Park

I kept my thrice weekly schedule at the Clearwater marina and Coachman Park . . .

for Yoga time.

And Weaver Park for strength training.

I made it out to Clearwater Beach twice.



What a beautiful place and peaceful at 8:30 in the morning.

I walked from the inlet at Sand Key to Pier 60.

  1. Happy to read your blog today. The Carmichaels have one of those cars you described, not a Lexus. They said half you don't use. The dash board looks like an airplane cockpit.
