RH> Hi Charles,
CB>> only bit of NC I know of is the bit where i95 runs through it im
CB>> afraid, that and of course "south of the border" which im still yet to
CB>> go to, it's always 2am when im going past there.
RH> I know the I-95 corridor; my in laws used to live in FL so we'd take 95
RH> down thru GA and into FL, then go various ways to get to Zephyrhills.
RH> When we lived in Savannah, I-95 up to where we could cut over to I-81
yea like everything else, there's multiple ways to skin a cat :D
RH> was one way we headed north. We've stopped at SOTB twice, had a mediocre
RH> lunch at a Mexican restaurant (in October, so past the main season) one
RH> time. I think the other time was for ice cream, but it was less than
RH> memorable.
it's like skydiving, i don't see the point in it, but i wanna do it just to say "been there, done that" :D
I should really go there though friday, imm sitting here in a hotel room in SC right now cus i'm doing some work up this way for the county
CB>> if you like it, why change right ?
RH> The situation has changed; we're talking about maybe moving out west in
RH> a few years.
define "out west" cus to be honest, left of texas (and mayb arizona) imho isn't really that friendly any more. I know a bunch of people that have moved out of CA because they're sick of the taes, crim and people taking a dump and sharing needles on the street in plain view.
CB>> <HURRICANE IAN>
CB> the CB>>> only time i get to eat at fancy places like outback etc kik
RH>> Nice to beable to enjoy meals like that every so often.
CB>> yeqa it's about the only time I do.. that said, i do try andd take the missus somewhere at least once a month.
RH> I'm sure she appreciates that. We'll hit up a casual place now and again
RH> but try to go to someplace better for special occaisions. Missed that
RH> this year for our anniversary as I was in the leg immobiliser but will
RH> make up for it on the cruise ship next week. (G)
sometimes she does sometimes she doesnt. but even if it's just to the cafe on a sat or sun morning for breakfast makes a change.
right now she has to be careful what she eats post-surgery (nothing major) so half the stuff i used to make for her for "breakfast in bed" she can't touch for a while lol
and you should see me TRYING to make grits lol.... I can't stand them but even from a packet i screw it up lol
RH>> We were watching to see where it would come thru NC--a bit further east and we would have had a lot more damage than we did.
CB>> yea we got lucky as i say, was supposed to come right up I4 over the
CB>> top of us and then took a bee line down the 408/528 to cocoa.
RH> Steve wanted to move to FL several years ago; I'm glad I talked him out
RH> of it. (G)
yet you wanna move out west where it's hotter, shakier and has less water :D
RH>> We're about an hour and a half, maybe 2 hours from beaches--depends on which one we want to go to--so our weather instruments are in the house and yard. I've thought about picking
RH>> up an animometer and maybe
RH>> something else as Steve likes to give weather reports on several ham
RH>> radio networks.
CB>> other than the NWS stations, the closes wx station sfor our stuff is chapel hill, cary,
CB>> clayton, smithfield etc nothing on your side. but it does appear to be
CB>> a very warm 43 degrees there according to the little airport you guys
CB>> have just to the north east (triangle North KLHZ)
RH> Up in Louisburg?
yea that's the place
http://www.airnav.com/airport/klhz
<touristy stuff)
CB>> that said, KSC is worse... last time we went to KSC, there was 5 of
CB>> us.... cost us 75 bucks to park, and another 600 bucks just to walk in
CB>> teh door.. if we wanted a tour etc that would be even more.
RH> What is KSC?
kennedy space center - cape canaveral. great place but prices are to the moon (pun intended)
CB>> "weird stuff"
RH>> picked up how to make a lot of our favorites from each place we lived.
CB>> Stateside, we were in CA, MA, TX, AZ, GA and HI,
RH>> finding favorite foods
RH>> from each place. Probably my favorite NC foods are eastern NC pulled
RH>> pork bbq and banana pudding.
CB>> never really been that much of a "BBQ" fan. but banana pudd'n...
CB>> that's a whole new kettle of fish LMAO
RH> Our state fair is offering a frozen banana pudding (don't remember if
RH> it's on a stick or in a taco shell) this year. Since we don't go to the
RH> fair, we'll not get to try it.
lol... it's like there's a place called ritters down the road and it's "frozen custard", to me custard is what you put over a piping hot apple or rhubarb crumble (something else I miss that I havent found..... rhubarb)
