Hey, if it's nasty all day...who cares...plus it's kinda on the way home for me. So I might stop there sunday. If anyone else wants to go up there and hang out, that would be fun.

Gatlinburg and Dollywood aka Kedsville? Yikes.

Go to Chattanooga, also about 2 hours, with 2 aquariums and all kinds of nice restaurants, coffeshops and shopping.

As 2ndMiniac said: I'm back, unless you didn't miss me.... or something like that!
I have been so busy juggling school and traveling back and forth to NC ( my g'father is dying - details later ) packing, cleaning, etc., that I haven't had time to get on here.
I am so excited about this weekend! I've got my SD card cleaned off and ready to take all the pics that my batt. will let me.

The rainy-day activities are a good thought..... we'll just play it by ear.
Sounds like a plan to me! Ha ha.

Well it seems like this will be a group for all of us to hang with. Get into trouble and have some fun. There is always a good poker game or "scene it" for a rainy afternoon.

Well I hope the fun's not all over when I roll in on Friday, sans euro plate. (It was 3M taped to the bumper in lieu of drill damage. I crossed the yellow line on a straight in GA to give a motorist on the shoulder some room, and the Yellow lines have this scoring in the pavement- shook the darned plate right off. At least there's no damage to bumper or car84, just a lesson learned about crossing the yellows I guess.
I'm looking forward to meeting everyone.

If someone can point out where to screw the holes on an MC, I'd be grateful.
ps, yes it did scuff up the bumper a tad.

Not on the MC. (or maybe they're just really little- I looked and looked.) I'm sure some MC owner with screw holes can set me straight.

sorry, i don't have a Cooper to look at or i would try and find them.. but i don't see why there wouldn't be, since they're there to screw a front plate onto, for the states that are required to have them..


but maybe there's not.. i dunno.lol. i'll see if i can find anything.

I'd have to seriously consider the MOSKITO plan...
Herbert lives in Chattanooga and would know ALL of the most excellent things to do.
