Sun - 15 Jan/17

We watched CBS Sunday Morning in bed as usual.

Then it was time to replace the burnt out signal light bulb. I removed the front signal light housing. Replaced the bulb then checked to see if it was working.

I replace the unit. Then I checked all the fluid levels and topped up the windshield washer fluid. I also poured a little additive into the engine oil. The purpose of this additive is to condition the engine seals. After 22 years and 500,000 km chances are they could use a little TLC. Hopefully, this additive will work as advertised and keep the seals supple and prevent oil leakage.

Kathy Lee stopped by on her way to the Craft Room. She exchanged "Craft Talk" with Charlotte for a bit.

We then headed out to purchase our "Canada Day" tickets. This year the event will be held outside the park at the Moss Gate B & B in Umatilla, FL (just a few minutes down the road). There were three sites in the park listed as possible places to pick up the tickets. At the first site there was nobody home.

We had better luck at the second site listed. We chatted for a bit after purchasing the tickets. Unfortunately we had to cut the conversation short. We need to leave for the 2:30 p.m. show at the Orange Blossom Opry.

The show today is the "Bird Dogs - Everly Brothers Experience". The Zmed brothers, Zachary and Dylan, although not identical brothers, do sound that way. Close your eyes during the concert and you are hearing Phil and Don Everly.

The Everlys bridged country and rock with countless classics and they inspired The Beatles, Kinks, Buddy Holly, Simon & Garfunkel and many others since they came on the scene in 1957. They played all the classics during the show like "Wake Up Little Susie," "All I Have To Do Is Dream," "Bye Bye Love", "Cathy's Clown," 'When Will I Be Loved" and "Bird Dog," (which is the origin of their band's name), to name a few.

The high energy show, sprinkled with humour, was excellent and recommend to all who remember the hits of "The Everly Brothers".

After the show we headed to the Lady Lake, FL "Texas Roadhouse". It was packed, as usual. The wait; however was less than a half hour.

We both enjoyed our usual. Dallas Filet (8 oz.). Mine was Medium Rare w/Cesar Salad and a Loaded Baked Potato. Charlotte's was Medium w/Cesar and a Baked Sweet Potato. We would rather pay a little more for a smaller weight filet than less for larger other type steak. The filet is all tender meat. Other cuts often include over half the weight in fat and bone and the meat is not as tender. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

While we ate I had one eye on the Green Bay Packers / Dallas Cowboys playoff game displayed on several of the "Big Screens". We finished our meal and left by half time. We arrived back at OMS in time to catch the end of the game. The game was tied with a little over a minute remaining. The teams exchanged field goals, then the Packers kicked a game winning field goal with 3 seconds left.

We made phone calls to our girls back home after the game for an update in life in the "Great White North". Then we each "Surfed" on different TV sets to end the evening.
