    MC, maybe you and Danny and I could hook up for a visit to Maggie Valley. My next block of time off would be anytime between June 11th thru mid August. I should have the ol' shovel ready by then!:rolleyes:

    Most years I've been able to ride all winter due to lack of snow. Rode all day last Christmas day, but no go this year. Pass the Baileys and coffee!

    We have had one of the worst droughts. Thought I might git to ride Christmas with the OL.
    It ain't gonna happen, it keeps sprinkling rain, and gets colder.
    Man Please.

    Works for me. Since you coming this way, I will try to work with your schedule. I will take a couple days off and we will hit some rides here, which will include Wheels Through Time. Only time I know scheduled for us is first week of July, will be tied up with daughter graduating from high school. Will be tied up through 8th. Any time after that, let me know. ;)

    Spielburg movies are always good. We're gonna go see War Horse soon. Mac went out with the dogs just now in low 40s amid the sound of many gunshots. I still hear them going off. We are surrounded by "hunters" this time of year. Willow was having none of it - ol' dog doesn't like guns going off so close.

    I think we got your mild weather, driving around with the wife today and it's in the 50's. Matter of fact the sun is out and I rolled down the window of my little HHR. They said were having a pineapple express coming in. :D

    When the Jet Stream moves north of us we get the Gulf Stream air swooping up the coast to warm us up in winter. Next batch will be Sunday or so with temps back up in the 60s. Oh yeah!
