3-5 (resumed the set at 3-4), 5-1, 4-1 (time runs out …)
Another messed up day – I went to the wrong location, again. The threesome (Bruce, Al and Greg) found another player, who is graciously bowed out when I arrived. Thanks Bob.
I promptly went to work, and heard the score wrong – thought we were up. Oh well.
While I was in the shower at clubhouse, a Chinese put her stuff on the locked door. It’s so o-d-d.
Played really well: 🎾 5-0, 5-2, 3-5
A good victory 🎾 赢的干净利落 [偷笑]
👇 这是啥东东呀?
A pretty competitive match with two Gregs and Jim: 4-5, 5-2, 5-4. GJ lost all three sets.
I started the day in the dark, and served first in all 3 sets.
The first set, GJ and I lost first 6 points, won the 7th and lost the 8th. There went 0-2. GJ held his serve but we lost the 4th game. It was a pretty good come back.
This month, I swam 26,560 yards / 15.09 miles in 660 minutes, which equals to 43’73” per mile. … with two hurricanes in between: Helene and Milton.

I get to swim at another springs!
This swimming area is at Rock Springs state park, (visit Florida) which is very close to Wekiwa. Because of current, many people and families come here to tube. Water is shallow and refreshing.
A water snake swam by me.
There is an outdoor shower with weak water, but it’s good enough for a quick rinse off.

Couldn’t have been any better than this!!! Clear springs at 72° temp year around – it’s heaven on earth. School of tiny fish is seen. Two park rangers walking by, I asked them about the distance to the bridge.
“Ehhh I don’t know. It’s not job requirement,” he joked. “Will add this one then,” he said.
I timed free and front crawl separately:
A friend’s mom is turning 85 today!
8am tennis: I played well but came up short. NJ, Graham, George: 5-0, 3-5, 3-5. It was a really nice game.
Did 200 swim / stretch after tennis. This morning was pretty cold, smell of autumn!
Hurricane Milton: eggs and milk are out @ WalMart delivery since Helene. There was a brief time that had eggs and milk but ran out quickly as Milton approaching. They’re till out, as of today, Oct 15. I had an order coming on Saturday, Oct 12, from Weee (they’ve eggs and milk) but had to cancel on Friday – still no power. Once the power is restored on Saturday morning, I placed the order on Sunday with WalMart, the first available deliver date is Thursday, Oct 17th – normally it’s within a few hours, which is why I’ve been using it. No milk, eggs and lemon till Oct 18.

At pool today, Matt said he was fine during the hurricane and he didn’t even loss power – I don’t know where he lives, assume not too far. He corrected me that the heater stops working once the temp hit 65 degrees. I previously thought was 55°.
Hurricane Milton, per wiki, as of 2024.10.15:

… some swim
… and the tennis courts need clean up, on 10.10
An all bleu day: the 2024 Atlantic hurricane that cancelled our Thursday game, had just passed. But the rains are keep coming. It rained today as we were finishing up the second match.
7-6 (7-3) Ivy/me, vs a mixed team
6-0 Jen/me vs Ivy/John
Jen is a really good younger player, with pleasant voice and mean back hand that travels low.
Tue I lost all three short set with 3 Gs: Gary, Greg and Greg.
Yesterday the pool was closed till 11am. The deck was cleared out but the bistro was open. However, the lunch for the tennis group was rather tasteless. Not a complain …
A week after Mid-Autumn Festival – the fullest of the year, the moon reduced to half. It’s a pretty sight as I’m swimming -:)
Tennis: 3-5, 1-5, 1-5 … with two doubles in the 3rd set.
What was I doing out there?
