EVIDENCE and CRYPTID FOSSILS in Central Florida

I went back home to Mulberry Florida and went to the Mulberry Phosphate History Museum. It is only about 3 miles from the old family home but never went there. When I was younger, I was not so interested in these matters.

Art Section Dunedin

I stayed in Dunedin most of the day running short LYFT fares but still made my first level bonus. It does add up after a while for rideshare does have the volume I am looking for..

Florida Sasquatch Best of 2019 Winter/Spring

These are some of my clips from earlier in the year while Bigfoot hunting. I am learning the art of documentary film making and employed many techniques in these videos. Florida Sasquatch is the name of my popular YouTube channel.

Angel The Rescued Kitten

I have a new and wonderful friend. Her name is Angel. George found her on his way home at 3 in the morning running around on the elevated span of highway 19 in Clearwater. He pulled over and pulled out of a storm drain. He took her home and knocked on my door. He has two cats and wanted me to keep her overnight until he could find a neighbor to take her. I fell in love with her. She is now my best friend and keeps me company for I live alone. It's not fair that so much cuteness can be crammed into such a little thing.

Relaxing at home during my "Retirement"

I spent a good month at home in Clearwater Beach Florida relaxing and getting caught up on things I had placed on the back burner. Having the time to watch many of the movies I wanted to get caught up on was a real treat. Sleeping in with no alarm and just rolling over and getting more sleep was something I had not done in years while the taxi business went down the drain. Now, I had it going my way. I really did miss being a cab driver but it has been at least 12 years since I had been one. LYFT ultimately allowed me to return back in time and recapture what I had missed so much. I was never cut out to be a private ambulance driver and that is what the taxi industry is becoming. No thank you, I moved on and right now it feels great.

Tim Now Drives for LYFT...and loving it!

After 24 years of driving taxi for United Cab of Tampa, I am now driving for LYFT. Good call, I think. Ride share has taken over and the taxi companies are going the way of the pay phone and the corner video store.

My Lyft Car

I took delivery of my Lyft car today. Its an Elantra which gets about 32 miles to the gallon and the technology should make this much easier than the antiquated taxi dispatch system. 

The Butterfly Garden

This is the bush in the backyard who's flowers seem to be drawing in the butterflies. That is why I am calling it my butterfly garden. It does seem to be only one kind of butterfly but I imagine others will eventually make their way to it. It could be the time of year when everything is blooming.

View from my porch

It was a nice evening as the sun was setting in mid May. This was a CELL phone so I did not get the moon as good as  could. I'm still enjoying my down time and it's going on one month. Considering that I have not had a vacation in 12 years, this is nice. 

Swimming on my down Time

Now that I am not working, I have lots of down time. There is no reason to stay in the crib and watch TV or poorly made Bigfoot videos when I have a beautiful swimming pool down the lane. The weather has been fantastic and the water is warming up.still a little cool. Swimming is fun and its great exercise. It is non weight bearing which makes it easy on the joints. That is important when you are getting older and are still a little heavy. Anyway, its just fun. Check it out.

RETIRED..what did you expect?

I have retired from taxi driving for good. I turned the keys in and walked away from 24 years on the streets. In a way, like Ronald Reagan said, the taxi business walked away from me. Anyway, I am home and doing nothing but getting caught up on a bunch of personal stuff. I am loving it. Check out this video about how I spend most mornings now. I have applied to work for Lyft and was approved, of course. I should be getting a new car next week and will be driving for them. Ride share has become the new taxi companies and they deliver what I am looking for. I have two monthly checks coming in which are enough to live off of. So don't worry about me. Its just that I was not exactly ready to retire but the circumstances gave me no choice. It does feel good, by the way.

New Go Pro Hero 7 Silver for Christmas

I got a new camera for my arsenal last Christmas. The GoPro Hero 7 Silver will be a huge upgrade to what I am trying to do with my photography. My YouTube channel is taking off and I am now making money with it. I just need to keep putting up fresh content that people will want to watch. This is a video I took and edited as an experiment to see how I could do it.
