July Road Trip to the Seminole Inn in Indiantown, Florida
This past Sunday, June 25, 2017, we took a lovely road trip to the Seminole Inn near Indiantown, Florida, close to Lake Okeechobee, The sun was out, almost no rain and we had about 43 people attend. I personally enjoyed the wonderful history on the Inn. I hope you enjoy my photos.

This is great fun. Beautiful time of the year for topless driving. I’ve done “the snake” once.

Can you leave a comment?
Our web site has a lot of nice features, but once in a while we find some problems and need help trying to figure out what’s going wrong. Recently, some members had trouble replying with comments. To test for problems, please try to leave a reply to this post. If you are unsuccessful, please send an email to the web site administrator: rob at quantumleap dot net.
We are testing a simple version of our design theme to see if this makes a difference.

Keep testing, not sure it’s really working right. I’ve experience some comments in the wrong places.

I replied to your reply and then replied to my reply of your reply. Does that make it two-ply?
Looks to be working for me.

Let’s hope we get past this rough patch and it all keeps working. It’s really complicated, but I think the firewall is aggressively trying to “save us” from perceived threats. It rejects thousands of spam and malicious hits every month that we never see. Theses are false positives that fall through the cracks.

Year In Review……………..
Since we have had so many new members joining our club over the past few months and membership has now grown to nearly 100 members, I thought it would be appropriate to give a quick review of the past year or so in pictures from our road trips so everyone can see what great fun we all have together and look forward to more of the same in the future. Enjoy the pictures which are courtesy of John Morris. One note, there are no pictures from our Sebring trip below other than a video montage I put together but if you want to see the driving videos from the trip, go back to March / April in the Archives Section to find all the corresponding pictures/videos.

Will the meeting this Sunday be held at another location?
There is a Duffy’s on University and Peters in Plantation that has a large room that we could use. Just a suggestion.
Robert Burr 10:01am on Saturday, July 1, 2017 Permalink |
Please find out if we need to reserve this room, Doug.
Mark Gilbert 7:01am on Saturday, July 1, 2017 Permalink |
That’s not good. Maybe it’s time for a change of venue!
Blas Rolando 7:52am on Saturday, July 1, 2017 Permalink |
Change of venue is way overdue, in my opinion. Perhaps quarterly.
Barton Corredera 8:09am on Saturday, July 1, 2017 Permalink |
Time to change boys and girls.

Anyone been to this Piccadilly Cafeteria? 4500 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, FL 33021
Mark Gilbert 9:45am on Saturday, July 1, 2017 Permalink |
The problem with a cafeteria type place is there is no guarantee we could all sit together and usually they are so loud, we couldn’t really have our meeting. Need a place like DJ suggests with a separate room. That’s why I thought Grampas was so nice for Thanksgiving. We had our own little area to conduct business and were really catered to nicely by the staff..
Robert Burr 9:49am on Saturday, July 1, 2017 Permalink |
We probably owe it to ourselves to try a few places and seek a consensus on what works best. I’ve been a member of several groups that meet successfully at the big cafeterias, plenty of room, no pressure to order a big meal, it works well. Pay on the way out. But the old-style cafeterias are disappearing. A place with a meeting room is a good start. Since the meeting is tomorrow, we’re under the gun.
Mark Gilbert 10:28am on Saturday, July 1, 2017 Permalink |
Truthfully, I think we should postpone the meeting unless another venue can be chosen today. Subjecting our members to possible issues with the food is not an option to me.
DJ 2:56pm on Saturday, July 1, 2017 Permalink |
I am in the area of Duffys if you want me to check about reserving their room. Just let know.
Mark Gilbert 3:32pm on Saturday, July 1, 2017 Permalink |
I would check it out. Certainly can’t hurt to have other choices.
Robert Burr 2:35pm on Saturday, July 1, 2017 Permalink |
Lou is making arrangements for My Big Fat Greek Restaurant close to The Field. Hopefully, details will follow soon.

I had a meeting at Piccadilly on Hollywood Blvd. few months ago…they will reserve a room for
you…speak to the manager.. They did a good job and we left a cash tip for the servers who
attended us…
