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>> 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 > 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) regards === Charles Blackburn The F.B.O BBS 21:1/221 618:250/36 bbs.thefbo.us IPV4/V6 DOVE-Net FSX-Net MicroNET USENET ....
