Yes, the top went down on Badass for the first time this year on Sunday. Sunshine Cindy and I went to World of Beer for brunch and when we left it was so nice out we put the top down. It felt great! We stopped in at the Patio Depot to price some furniture. As we pulled in Don, who is Cindy’s boss at Honey Baked Ham was loading up some items. We talked to him for a few minutes. Then when we left Julie pulled up. She said she was envious of us having the top down. Hopefully there will be many more top down days coming up!
It was a quiet weekend around town. Friday night I stopped at Landshark Pizza to bring home a pie. Paige, Sue and Jason were all working. And yes, the pizza was as great as always.
On Saturday we did some more shopping for things for the house. Our last stop was Home Depot in the early afternoon. We decided to go to McGuire’s for some lunch. We found a couple of seats at the bar. I had sushi. (Doesn’t everyone go to an Irish Pub for sushi???) As it got closer to happy hour the bar filled up. We talked to a retired guy who is from the Huntsville area of Alabama. He and his wife come to Destin often and he loves McGuire’s.
Then we started talking to Bobby. He is a local who frequents McGuire’s a lot too. He runs some type of limo service. He wants to talk to the Parrot Heads about some type of cross promotion. He said he is going to be at the Chili Cook-Off at the end of this month. I told him to look me up.
We enjoyed our time at McGuire’s talking with everyone. Sunshine Cindy and I decided to stop in at the Rotten Apple on the way home. It’s been a while since we were in. Tracy was working the bar. Tony was sitting across the way. He just got back from Northern Ohio where Amy’s family live. He saw a lot of snow and cold weather. He said it was nice but he is glad to be back in Destin. It appears the Rotten Apple has been sold again. Tracy made a comment about it. That was the first I had heard that.
Sunday evening we stayed home to watch the Super Bowl. It was a great game. Congrats to the Eagles!
The painters finished up with our house. It is now a perfect deep blue color. It looks great. The guys did awesome. We are now planning to have them do our pool deck area. It is discolored and has chips in spots. Time to get it up to par with the rest of the house.
Last Wednesday was the full, super, blue, blood (I think that was all the descriptions) moon with an eclipse. We were lucky we had perfectly clear skies. The moon was like a spotlight shinning down on us. In the morning the moon was in the west sky. It was huge. The eclipse took place as I drove to work. It started out as only about 10% of the moon was covered but by the time I got on the island over 60% of it was covered. That was an awesome sight.
Around town Shake’s ice cream place by the Waffle House is being remodeled. They are always crowded in the summer. I also saw where the old Golden Corral is going to reopen as an Old Time Buffet or something like that. They should not have to do a lot of remodeling as it is going from one buffet restaurant to another.
Gilligan’s is also having some remodeling done. They have been closed for the season but plan to reopen this month.
Traffic in Destin was a parking lot this morning. A truck took down power lines in the construction zone on 98. They had to close the road in both directions. What a mess that was.
A fun weekend is coming up. We have a Parrot Head meeting this Friday at Landshark. Then on Saturday is the Mardi Gras parade in Harborwalk Village. That is always a fun time. The Parrot Heads will be marching in the parade. Come out and party with a purpose with the Parrot Heads.
I will have a full recap of all the fun next Monday. See ya then!
Destin Steve
