Sometimes ya just gotta go...

Winter Springs, FL - Occasionally...


« on: September 27, 2010, 11:14:38 AM »

Well, folks, the first attempt to celebrate the end of a very hot summer was... ummmm... shall we say a bit premature... We got ambushed by The Weather Channel, you see, but I should have known better. Anyway, it wasn't unsummer-like at all. Nope, if fact, it was downright hot, even though the early forecast had been for quite comfortable temps. Ain't the first time that's happened to me, and I'll bet more 'n a few of y'all have had similar experiences... Oh well...

The forecast for this coming weekend is way more than tempting to this encurable optomist, so we're gonna give 'er yet another try. The Napper encourages me to keep on tryin', 'cause I'm bound to git it right sometime between now and Christmas... we'll see. Anyhow, at this particular moment, it looks like we have a glorious riding weekend coming up, and we're headin' out yonder to soak up as much glorious-ness as we can find.

About ten years or so ago, some Georgia riding buds of mine used to drop by Colonel Poole's BBQ in Elijay, GA, now and then for what they claimed was some seriously good pig parts. For one reason or another, however, I never did get to sample their wares. I did swing by there one time all by my lonesome, but it was on a Sunday, and that's the day they're closed. I made a mental note of that place, though, and now I'm thinkin' it's high time I got around to addressin' that little oversight from my past.

We plan to arrive At the Colonel's place around 11:30-ish Saturday and then do the dining deed. No plans after that, but we're gonna make this an overnighter too, so we'll be seeking accomodations someplace around those parts following a bit mo' ridin' 'round the hills. We also intend to fulfill the Slambilee part of this adventure that evening, as well. (BTW, Slambilee is short for Slam-dunk Jubilee.) Anybody want to indulge their glutenous fantasies?

Joe,

Time zone changes and I don't usually get along... but I do prefer for simplisity-sake to use 'local time' whenever... So, that means 11:30-ish Eastern Time... That's not to say I'll actually arrive then, but I will be shooting for that!!!  lol  Hope you can make it!!!

We have some unfinished business, you and I... In Booneville at the pool party, I took my turn 'at the fence', but when I turned back around, everybody was gone!!! Never knew what happened... Was I unknowingly, unbearably flatulant or sumthin'?

I was hoping to make this ride Bruce however my boss had other plans  Sad ...In fact my last two nights have been in Athens , Alabama. I'm moving heavy equipment out of Kentucky into Alabama  worked 15 hours today ( friday ) and will make the same runs tomorrow and sunday....The weather looks great for a ride this weekend ...Hope some of it hangs around for The Fall Color Ride on the 15-16-17....As stated I had planned on making this ride .

Hey Joe,

You'd have loved riding in the temps we had... no clouds, all good! We did make it to ELijay and Col. Poole's BBQ - and it was well worth it to me!!! We got there late, however, so we got a room in Elijay,  then watched the last half of the Vol/LSU game... and that amazing last minute!!! Got fired up by all that gridiron stuff, so took a taxi to Ruby Tuesday's and watched the Bama/Gator game... and of course indulged a bit too. Fab weekend... and yes, I hope the FCR weather will be just like it!!! See ya there...
