Well, if you knew anything about Apalachicola, you wouldn't expect anyone from there to know how to spell anything.

Re: Need Some House Sitters!!!

We'll "look after" your place this time, but in future we would like a little more notice. At the very least, run it by Ken. As Ken does a lot of travelling, we have a comittment to hold the fort for him (as well as hold the drinks, hold the girls, hold what ever is in his freezer, hold the police at bay etc.). We may not be able to give you the full treatment as we are already at Ken's place, but we will split up and send a few experienced housesitters your way. They will supervise all the newbies sitters that want to help out. You'll never recognize the place when you get back. Enjoy the trip and give us a call when you're on your way home.

Man! Ontario or Florida ... I'm not sure which party to go to first :cool:

Can you guys each give me a list of new accommodations and features? I'm assuming both properties have been recently upgraded, correct?

... decisions, decisions ...

Southkogs, you are correct. Ken's place has been...well...remodeled recently but, as I recall, most of the work was done by others:rolleyes:. I don't recall many of the details as the last time I was there I got into some chinese (wine?) stuff and...well...let's just leave it there (and don't worry Ken, I'm not touching that stuff again:eek:).

First off, my two-acre place is fenced, so those that tend to wander as the night progresses won't need SAR to be located in the morning.

Second, my kitchen facility should handle any creative culinary considerations for the venison, hog, rattlesnake, grouper, snapper and flounder that you'll find in the freezers. There are two reach-in coolers brimming with a large selection of domestic and imported adult beverages. There are five ovens and a large range. I only ask that you keep all frying out back where you'll find the three 80K btu cookers. The outdoor fish cleaning station is around back, also; feel free to clean your catch there (just be sure to rinse it well and put carcasses in the bear-resistant garbage can...keeping the motion-sensored floods on overnight also helps to deter the bears:redface:).

Lastly, the boat is water ready; gas and oil are full, as is the freshwater tank. I'll leave maps to several nearby ramps that'll give you great access to the river, bay and gulf. Last night I serviced all my reels and replaced all lines. The tackle and all are in the shed out back. If you go out deep, please take care of my Okuma rig as that was a 25th Anniversary gift from the Admiral and I cherish it deeply.

Other than that, just tidy up a bit before you all leave. I'll probably be back on the 29th around 6pm. Have a great time!

... the venison, grouper and snapper just probably sealed the deal. That's good stuff.

Sounds like quite a kitchen setup you have.

Wait a minute!!!! I just realized that this is some type of subliminal advertising for a Cat House, isn't it?

Well folks, I just learned that my...er... business... matters may need to be rescheduled a bit...I may be staying longer than initially anticipated. I hope this won't be a problem for anyone?

Re: Need Some House Sitters!!!

Well...I'm sure I'll be gone past the 5th, so you're good to go, Ken. I would be honored if you would attend the inaugural party...er...house sitting event at my home. I traveled many miles today to visit a sammelier that had a nice selection of...you know...chinese stuff... so you would feel at home when you get here (sorry...I kinda got into yours...again:facepalm:)

Have a great flight and...I'll leave the light on...

Re: Need Some House Sitters!!!

Hi Richard. It's Karl in Tallahassee. I may be able to help you out, actually. I'll double check my schedule and send you a PM.

btw, Apalach = Apalachicola,FL one of the biggest, oldest and certainly the best seafood ports in the region. Best oysters in the world, amazing scallops, shrimp and blue crab, etc.... In fact, it's the real source for about 60-80% of all those "Maryland" crabs you're eating. You name it, you can get it there. A great Old Florida town.
