So were here for 2 month now and boy do we miss hanging out with CCF bro's and spending time on the water. We skied/footed once and then it got too cold...in September
Anyway, we did spend the last weekend on the water (kinda) and visited Venice

and did all the tourist stuff

Had no fun at all

BTW now I know why nobody owns a boat in Europe

That was That the pump in Venice and translates to 25 gals x 3.78=94.5 x 1.62 Euro = 153 Euro or 168 USD!!!!! The buckedhead race would burn a hole into the budget....

Anyway, we got spare beds, so come visit!

BTW while the Italian food is great, by now it sucks, as there is almost no other thing to eat....

The plan is to be there 1-2 years, so time for ya'll to visit

Jim, I seem to be 700k short for a riva

Larry, I would not swim in that water! We were in the 50's and the water still smelled (no romance there in the gondola...) Besides that, the thought of footing/sking crossed my mind as it would make a nice shot

No worries, next spring/summer hop in your car and make a road trip to Belgium.
I'll make sure y'all get some hours on the water... And have nice accomodations!

Kristof,
Mention to Sebastian that you've got a BBQ grill or even better, a smoker and he may just make that road trip earlier!

It's size of your tub that scares me cause if the tub is that small, how big is the guest bed???


If we time it just right then maybe we'll have a European/American Mini.......

We really enjoyed Venice. went to Italy for the month of August a few years ago. Let me tell you that is the hot time of the year seriously. have you taken trains? airconditioned? when you leave the station they seem to be fine but a little down the track all of a sudden no air LOL. went from Rome to Venice and down to Assasi and then the the cinqua terra region. it was beautiful. where will you settle for the stay? i would go back for sure. enjoy as we will your photos.
The value of money spent on new adventure far exceeds the value of money saved for the future

Jerry, even better, so you can come and don't worry about the kids....your more than welcome

Jack, I work in the train business, so no comment as the company I work for also sells HVAC's for trains....

Owning a CC is great but you start to condition the kids and they see when a boat is not up to snuff...when Gabe saw the gondola, he gave me the "MasterCraft" look haha


Food wherever you look but as I said before, only Italian stuff (meet a guy from ATL at Gabe's school and he brought the egg, so BBQ is now covered)


And yes, we are also doing the tourist thing

And it should haunt you. You should have known better with this group! Now if you had posted Chantel in your tub, that would have been a different story!

Hey, I know you guys like pics, so I'll keep em coming.
We went to the beach for some (shock) fishing (Thanks Jimbob for teaching Gabe)


Our mastiff had her first walk on the beach (lake lanier doesn't count)


Then we pretended to have the CC with us for a pull (boy was the Adriatic coast flat...)


Oh and after seeing skutch's work in the yard, I had to use the ride on that our landlord left us, beer and did this
Before


After (note, the lines are not straight anymore due to silver bullets or the Italian equivalent)

Temps started to drop and we are missing the US of A...

Gabe is enjoying school and helping me out sometimes


At least he gets to spend time one something fun with an engine...while mom does not like my idea of a Ducati or Vespa...


snow started to fall this weekend in the mountains close by


Oh and my dad had a heart and got me this bad boy (chicken was prep for turkey day this week and then I'll try a brisket)



Jimbob, your company produces the BGE and you should get a 50% discount once! So unless you already did that, I got dibs on that!!!

While we did have to work Thursday and Friday, we still thought of ya'll and had a Saturday turkey dinner.
We brined the bird over night and injected him with a butter/rum mix

Most of the rum however magically ended up inside of me LOL

The we got the Joe up to 350f and put the bird on


The hardest part is not seeing what smells to good and sounds like heaven (other than the sound of our boat which we miss)



We basted that bad boy every hours with some butter/rum


And then waited and waited haha


Happy (belated) Thanksgiving ya'll
