here at the beach depends on how cold it gets... ocean tends to keep us warm enough to turn it into rain.. so most times just a couple inches and its gone in an hr or 2... but when the stars align and we get dumped on.. were usually looking at 1-3 ft.. but most times just foot or less... downside here is they dont prep the roads and dont go out to clean them up till its too late for anything to be done..

I have to say, I disapprove of this talk about 'snow'. I can wait 4 months for that at least!



Just got done rinsing her off.

Well we decided to hit the 7am ferry out of cedar island to Ocracoke. Gonna leave the house around 5:30, should give us a couple extra hours to ride around and enjoy the outer banks. Should be a fun time.

Charcoal is heating up, then a couple of Hickory sticks, and get that Pork Shoulder in there for pulled pork tonight.
Hope everybody's been able to enjoy this SWEET weather this week.
Y'all behave

Well made the loop, was pretty damn fun made it with oit issue except my kick stand spring decided to pop off at out gas stop coming off the outer banks. Turns out I've been "laying frame" and dragging the kick stand and frame on curves and ground down the piece that holds Springs on. So it kept slipping off. I put a redneck fix on it.



So we made it back to newbern and eating some wings at BW. Oh.... and having a few drinks.
