Little mud, no biggie.... hillside and road gone, not such a little deal even for a Tacoma

 

Words of wisdom. Some places I hunt before I shift the drive configuration and go down the trail I take a deep a breath and say OK here we go...


Been down a lot worse but usually have my hands too full to take a picture LOL. Getting too old for that crap. Nah.... Shoot too many grouse where everyone else is afraid to tread. Thank you Toyota! Now if only I could find my radio antenna that broke off someplace down this "road".

 

Eastern Tn. is nice as long as you're in the mountains. The whole Western NC, Eastern Tn. and corner of Va. is a gem IMO. In the summer lots of Brevard County Fl. license plates running around Western NC for a reason, they can afford to be there in the summer and Fl. in the winter.

Marty posted a picture of a dog cancer fundraiser a couple of weeks ago that he said was in Highlands which I am going to assume is Highlands, NC. It is a high rent district that many from Atlanta escape to because of the lower temps in the summer and lower humidity. Heck of a haul from SC and where he is. Many bikers take the roads up there from Atlanta so it is a good market analysis believe it or not. Heck it is even a hell of a drive from Asheville, NC.

Marty I can't believe how many miles you put on your rig every year in an effort to rescue. My Ex used to complain that I was just like her father, likely why she married me.. Always considered it a compliment even though that was likely not her intend. My FIL and I remained best friends even after the divorce until he passed away, he was the Area 1 rescue coordinator for the Nova Scotia Duck Toller Retriever in the NE and Middle Atlantic States. You and he are cut from the same cloth. I ended up finish raising his grandchildren and realize that also had an impact, but we always did think a lot alike. Marty your actions speak louder than any words could is what I'm trying to say. And thank you.

I miss the South sometimes, OK a lot of of times. It isn't the weather, it is the people.

 

Yeah it was Tim in Townville, sorry my bad. Could have sworn it was you but same statement stands OK so you're making my desire to move back to the South even worse than I thought LOL?!

well it aint gittin any warmer -4 wind chill out (which is balmy for some) just finished my run-n-start routine, no obvious witnesses, stay up-rite yawl!!

 

Good morning all. 20 degrees here in VB this morning. RIP Glenn Frey. Geez, I'm starting to feel old.

 

I've been down to the Tail Of The Dragon in Deals Gap, NC three times when the MINI Coopers have their annual nation-wide get together down there. It's gorgeous down there in the mountains with the TVA dams and large lakes. And who doesn't love a road that has 318 curves in 11 miles ? Built for MINI Coopers !

 

Minus 3 here today with the Wind Chill in Leesburg Va.

 

Morning all. 23°F with a little bit of wind making it feel like 14°F. Snow is gone below 2000'-3000' again. Weird Winter ... hope ya'll along the east coast and south are staying warm; that is far below normal for ya'll ... but then what is normal in the weather anymore?

 

If the weather guesses are correct things are going to get much worse come Friday. I think you folks will have it worse than we will in Sunny Southern Maryland.

 

you hope!!

 

Damn right! You know, the local news dudes are already hyping it up, another snowmegedon lol.Stock up time for toilet paper, milk and bread Maybe throw in a few pounds of stuffed ham and I'm good.

 

By all means welcome.
Never be afraid to post here.. We love to hear from everyone across the states. Fun to read of different lives.All topics are basically open but we try to stay way from political crap because it never ends well.
Like your way of teaching driving.

 

Welcome to TW! Lots of good folks here, very laid back. I spent a little time at Aransas Pass at NS Ingleside a little to the north of Corpus a few years back, great people and good food but the heat took a little getting use to!

ain't that the truth

don't think I'll ever win anything.... except maybe most rain in any two days back in Oct

evening all Tad nippy here today... high was 38* after a low last night of 18* and about the same tonight

 

Fishing...... Someone say fishing ???? Who ,where, when......

 

Good morning all! Warming up here may hit 20 today which means it has been snowing. Got a ring flash for my macro lens and been trying to do snowflake pictures. Finding out it is one of the hardest things I've tried to do with the camera.

Sounds and looks like the East Coast is now getting the cold and snow to follow. Yeah never understood why TP, bread and milk fly off the shelves right before a storm hits to the point that the store runs out. Hoarders!? I like the ham idea, and bacon of course!

Well first you drill a hole in the ice......

 

oh yeah, ya need an auger if yer fishin Maine I reckon, but no reason to not pursue!!! by thy way, it's downright balmy here south-o-bawlmore!!

 

Morning all
