You all need it. Evidently, something, possibly the weather, has sparked a migration of Californians to our neck of the woods. This has driven up home values (though that is both artificial and temporary), such that we are getting open door offers for almost twice what we paid. When it gets to twice our purchase price, we might take it. Rent for a year or two somewhere, then purchase again when this bubble pops.

That's an idea we have been kicking around anyhow, but man, moving is a PITA!

I think it’s a lot of factors, but the drought and fires sure don’t help. And we are definitely due for a major EQ. How our housing prices have managed to continually climb is beyond me & now that we are both retired it would be the perfect time to relocate to another state. But honestly, we love it out here & are staying put. Are you out of hurricane danger, I don’t know a lot about Florida geography?

Pretty much nowhere in Florida is completely out of hurricane danger, but being located in Central Florida near Orlando is probably not TOO bad. Well, unless one cuts across going east west so it doesn't have time to die down.

When we first moved down here, hurricanes freaked us out. Now, it's just the ones category 2 or up that particularly worry us.

Mind you, cold weather - and by cold I mean 40 degrees or less - is very nearly fatal lol! Evidently there is a phenomenon known as "going tropical" that occurs when you move into a warm environment. Basically, you just can't handle the cold. Takes about 2 years and we have definitely gone that way!

Very happy to hear that you are somewhat safe. And, hear you about the cold tolerance thing, weird phenomenon. That said, I do not miss winter one bit.

Nice workout up there. The wife is thinking about some cardio equipment. She’s thinking an elliptical, but I’d like to add in a treadmill too. Bizarre, we live by this huge park, but I’m such a homebody, I’d prefer to walk here.

Good squat workout tonight to get the week started! I kept it simple but intense.

Squats, back to my 8 reps of the 20 goal... I MIGHT have had more in me, but didn't want to do the Fred Sanford
Thing so 9 will be the goal next week.

Calf work, barbell calf raises super setted with kettlebell calf raises. Man, that was fun.

Leg curls wrapped up the leg work.

Wrapped up with 3 rounds of 3 minutes on the treadmill super setted with chinups. Not HIIT per se, but intense and "fun".

1/2 mile walk to warmup, 1 mile walk to cool down, hopped in the pool and dis some yoga stretches to completely wrap the night. Fun stuff!
