-
-
Temps are going to be down from what we have been seeing. Best temps in a long time. Rain is possible on Friday but Saturday is looking better. Like last year it's gonna be hit or miss.
-
I will be there... Yaw have already let me down the weekend before the 4th and I did not go anywhere.
-
I didnt let you down..... Did I???

I did find a couple of motorcycles that would have gone if they had a week or so notice, but nothing at the last minute. So I stayed home. Back in the 70's I was the only one taking vacations on the motorcycle in Georgetown so I was always by myself.
-
Do we know who os going to be there.. I have @Fast Orange and @FunCycle and @Samowens44 and @Ruptured Duck and @pswarren and @Dogs so far... And @kenny_h is supposed to let me know.
I think @WingShot is going to make it also. -

Packed and ready to leave. The rain will be out of here in a little bit. The radar to the west is clear.

I have to drop some parts off for a boat I'm working on next week in Miami to the powder coater at the port tomorrow morning. Not sure if I will be leaving here tomorrow or Friday morning. Most likely Friday since I will still need to pack stuff and load the SS.

About 2years ago I had my foot and me slip under the push mower blade while cutting a steep hill.... Got very lucky. Take it easy and we will see you soon.

Yall I'm watching the weather. I hate not to go. But this isn't looking like it is going to be a great weekend. I want to go. I promise. I have everything laid out and planned to go. I have my trailer hooked up and my Slingshot ready to drive onto it. I even have my suitcase packed..
But.....there is a storm front coming and im afraid it isn't going to miss us. Here are a few shots of the future radar
-
One other big thing that is bugging me .....I have an MRI center in Jasper AL at Southern Orthopedics that went down yesterday morning due to a cooling issue. They had an air conditioning unit that has failed due to something that happened with the transformer outside the building. I have had to do a fast shutdown on all the equipment and computers and image servers.
Now truth being told, I dont have to sit onsite the whole time till the power is fixed and the cooling is back on. However I do have to make sure all the equipment comes back online and I actually get paid to babysit this place by the hour until the cooling comes back up and the servers and workstations are back online.
So I can make some pretty good money by being onsite and watching them work and as soon as it's cool in the server room I can bring everything back online. Then I can make the phone call to the office manager and tell them everything is running and then they can call patients and let them know to come in for their scans.
So I can't use this as an excuse for not going to GA because I can go down Sunday when I get back and try to start everything. But I will be throwing away some serious money and they may need me earlier than Sunday to try to start some of this stuff up...
With the weather being what it is I am having a hard time with this decision.
-
Tomorrow is the bummer day if any. 50-60% chance of rain for north GA but not a wash out. Sort of like last year in Friday.
Saturday looks to be cool and about 30% so a lot better.I'll tag up with anyone tomorrow morning and Saturday....
Really hope you can make it @rabtech but I understand the money thing. I would be hard pressed to pass up what almost sounds like free money. Just remember that life experiences are somewhat priceless....
-
OK, I am here. I only had rain for about 3 miles just as I started up Blood Mt. Nice and clear here in Blairsville.
