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.
I seldom practice volley and overhead because I’m bad at it.

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.
… ok it’s 2025, where do you go to play?
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°.

… 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?
🎬 Before Dawn (2024) 关于一战的故事…
By September, the sun rises after 7am. 7:30 start is cutting close. But I really like early mornings: fresh and quiet. Watching the skies brighten up is wonderful. 为生活 俺也起早贪黑
7-5, 2-6
第一局从0-3, 1-4 追回来的
第二局 还没站稳 就输了
My string is rarely broken: multiple years for a restrung. This time, a neighbor Dave did it – it’s the most beautifully one I’ve had. All for $25 -:) 新线 🧵 所有过的中 数这个最漂亮 (照不出来)
