So it started a normal gorgeous and HOT day in the Keys...working at the rental...

Got to hang out at the pool after a quick valve job, and get my exercise at the same time, grease still under my nails...

After that I needed to go my favorite food truck called Garbos Grill to get some nom noms..when i had my Iphone Repair store downtown, I ate here 6 days a week...not even kidding. Pulled up and had to park here cause there was no other places, they might know me there so it was okay :)

Anyhow, they just moved in the back of a really slick place just off Duval street called Grunts. Quiet and peaceful, the [HASHTAG]#beerandburrito[/HASHTAG] is pretty much a staple in my life, come here and find out for yourself...

I was waiting for my food just tootle puffing on my new favorite Hermetic Steam Magenta when a big group of people came in...i noticed something in this ladies hands that caught my eye :)

They are doing family things and tending to the little one....I walk by her to get my delicious burrito and instantly notice a familiar sight and just said "nice subtank" and it sparked a fantastic 30 minuet conversation!

I believe 100000% If we were nasty cancer stick smokers, we would have coughed as we choked up nasty tar and .....ed about how expensive a pack was, or whatever those smelly (but still good)people do these days. Plus we would have had to do it OUTSIDE of the food area. No massive clouds here, we were both low key and keeping it easy. We got what we needed and didn't offend anyone at all :)

Its funny how such a small thing like saying "nice subtank" could bring on such a liberating and fantastic conversation that was truly powerful. No wonder the cigarette companies are doing their very best to spear us. This kind of power can really spark a movement. Thats why they are fighting tooth&nail to ostracize us and make it look like we are the bad people....

I am blessed to call this place home. I have seen this place chew up and spit people out, some dont make it out alive...its an island 100 miles from Mainland, we have order here, but its certainly not easy. I couldn't imagine being anywhere else right now tho. :) lots of different people come there here and its nice to see so many worldly people. 10 years went by here in the blink of an eye

Great pictures and story. I never been down there, but my dad goes to Key West in the winter for 3 months and stays on some base down there. It's dry camping, but he enjoys it.
I have known some good people that stay on the Navy base there, I used to have a good dive buddy live in his RV, was there for some 14 years I think :) Great dude.

Boat races are great fun, there is one spot that gives you the best and craziest views, just on the inside of Sunset Key

Publix was my first legal job :) I used to memorize the publix barcodes so i didn't have to scan them and could do others, i got faster at typing 41415xxxx and using the scanner at the same time. Funny times when I was 16 lol

Trust me when I say this, if it were as easy as it looks, everyone would be doing it. My roommate and I wake up every morning to pay on a 6million dollar insurance policy just so we are even legal to rent machines. Then we have to try and convince them to not kill themselves the whole time after that....:)

10 years in this industry, i have seen more stuff then I care to talk about, but not many last too long, the money can be good an there are way too many bars here then people can imagine....finding someone to show up mostly sober is about 98% of the job...you dont even have to do that right, just as long as you show up :/

No complaints here, but I wanna make it clear, that only in a perfect world do skis rent themselves, fix themselves and push themselves off the dock...we don't live there, but we do have a CVS nearby so I guess that counts for something.

I bagged groceries and moped and stripped/waxed the floors at their big store off the highway. Cant remember the main highway there. Alot of my College buddies worked there for some extra cash. We would close the store and drink beer till late. I have very fond memories of those times. You have fun, and good to talk.
