This place sucks...

As some of ya already know, Sharon and I have been pretty tied up lately.
Mom passed away a couple of weeks ago and we moved from Pinellas Park to Ruskin to be closer to my dad.

I thought I'd share a couple of pictures from the new yard.

Dad's place across the canal from ours.

Possible snooking hole

I don't know how I'm going to get used to living here...

I didn't know about your mom. I'm terribly sorry. Moms are a hard thing to lose.

You are now living near HankyPanky and Heywood and a number of other PFers. And you guys are much closer to me. Heck, I can jet up there in minutes in the Hewes. Seems like a great place to live and fish.

Sorry about your mom. But looking at those pics, that grass areas would be a perfect spot for our next gathering(Party)!!!!

The sacrifices you have to make for family.

Looks like you need to build a set of stairs to get the boats in the water.

Sorry to hear about your mom, still miss mine terribly after 18 years. I recognize that first picture, we were riding around in my in-laws pontoon boat a few weeks ago and went by there, does look pretty fishy in places.

Very sorry to hear about your mum Mark.

But how'd ya get lucky enough to score a place on the water! I am jealous!!! Does look like a nice place to smoke some ribs

My sympathy on you losing your Mom. No matter if it's 'expected' or no, it's hard.

On a happier note, maybe I'll run into you on this side of the Bay. You ever fish out of Bullfrog Creek?

You should definitely move back to St pete. All that green might make ya sick.

Between you and Heywood showing off your new backyard diggs, I don't know who sucks more now.

So I'll settle with... YOU BOTH SUCK!!!
...hehe.

You know you already have my heartfelt condolences Mark. We'll have to plan a southside jaunt after you get settled.

Definitely sorry to hear about your Mom.

Now that I'm unemployed again, maybe I should buzz over and help you do some recon over there ...

Sorry to hear about your Mom. You must have lost her about the same time as mine. Sheila and I are with Dad now and I can certainly understand what you are going through. You will be in our prayers.

Dude, sorry to hear about your Mom.

Sorry to hear about the lost of your mom.

Ruskin has Beanies and fun watering hole and they also have a Drive in Movie theater too.

I hear there no fish on that side of the bay

Sorry about your mom, lost mine in Dec. I am going to find you and Heywood out there on a hole one day.

First... My condolences to you and Sharon.

Welcome to the "South Side"!!!
My backyard looked like that except for the seawall after those heavy rains last week.

Mark, sorry to hear the news about your Mom.

...and sorry that you now live close to Heywood.
