Hi Carolina!
I'm a damn Yankee, so I'd just assume side with cooler temps and lack of humidity myself. To paraphrase Hunter Thompson, "My blood is too thick for [Virginia]. I could never properly explain myself in this climate."
I'm gearing up for summer vacation #1 here. Heading to dad's place in Indiana for half a week, then to my old hometown of Rock Creek, Ohio for the other half. I'm rolling out Friday evening. I'll probably be off the grid the whole time, so I'll plan on catching up when I get back.
George, you and Shawn are in charge of checking in with our neighbors to the south while I'm away.

I'm gonna have to agree with Larry. That humidity has sucked the last few days. I finally got a decent filter wrench to get those hydraulic filters off of the Hustler zero turn yesterday. I swear the factory used two gorillas, three mules, and a team of horses to tighten them and the vent plugs. Thankfully I don't have to touch them again for another 200 hours and they won't be as tight the next time.
Be Good!

Got my new Velcro on the rails for the tonneau cover. Getting the old adhesive off was a bear till Willie told me to use an eraser wheel...
And my son said use brake kleen to get the residue from the wheel off...
Now it's coolant flush and oil change before the trip.

Good morning North Carolina. Sneaking over the border again to White's near Germanton. They have a Crown Vic fender I was looking for. Also a stop at the DMV in Walnut Cove to see what I have to do to get a title for a 86 Squire wagon I bought a few years ago.
