Skid Posted November 7, 2014 Share #1 Posted November 7, 2014 I think with the weather getting cooler its time for me to get more "Vitamin Sea." Next week is my vacation week so I plan to head down to Myrtle. Anyone who is close and want to meet up to go eat I should be down Monday. I'm game!

naturbar Posted November 8, 2014 Share #4 Posted November 8, 2014 You should check out Cherry Grove....not near as congested as Myrtle Beach. We rented a house one block off beach, 2 BR, 2 bath, washer/dryer, full kitchen, TV every room, WiFi, two car car port, beach cart w/chairs, gas on grille on second floor deck...$650.00 weekly. We found it on VRBO site. Enjoy your beach stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skid Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share #5 Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) I have a week to burn at one of my timeshares. I'll be staying in the Surfside area. Figured I'd come down and just kick back and eat a couple days. Edited November 8, 2014 by Skid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSky Posted November 8, 2014 Share #6 Posted November 8, 2014 My last contract job ended last week, so I'm retired again. My new to me 89 Venture is still like I bought it due to the job out of state distracting me which means it is still running rich it seems and the engine barely turns over when it is warm since I haven't installed the 96 starter. However, I am a new member and I would like to start meeting some of the forum members. So, I'd like to ride the suspect VR down to Myrtle and meet you for lunch one day next week if that is okay. Maybe Tuesday since it looks to be a little warmer than the rest of the week. The wife will be working so she can't come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds good, I ate at a great little place called Hamburgers Joe's near North Myrtle, the last trip. Might be close for you since you're coming from the north.

cowpuc Posted November 9, 2014 Share #12 Posted November 9, 2014 Its not too late to head south for the winter. Oh man,,, I wouldnt know what to do with myself if I didnt spend all winter harassing the likes of Flyingfool,, watching the evening news with all those Atlanta people freaking out trying to drive on a half inch of snow, having Tippy rub my back with "Heat" after an afternoon of shoveling white wash, having my beard freeze solid when I walk out the door to go lay in the snow and make snow angels.... Maybe someday when I grow up Skid,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skid Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share #13 Posted November 9, 2014 ...Maybe someday when I grow up Skid,,, Hey this will be my first year of having ice in my beard. Could be a new experience for me. And we only grow up for a little while, then we all revert back to children as we get old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be close for you since you're coming from the north. I googled Hambruger Joes so I know where it is now. I'll see you there Tuesday. Just let me know what time. My VR looks like this so you can recognize my arrival. http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e369/RR322/YamahaVenture005_zpsf621735f.jpg?1415545838693&1415545839057 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe someday when I grow up Skid,,, See what ol Puc is doing again he is me again. Does he know that poking a stick at a snowman can get snow on the stick....... I for one hope Puc never grows up......... I don't want to be the only one that still acts like a 12 year old. Its not too late to head south for the winter. Don't forget last winter, managed to have snow on the ground in ALL 50 states at the same time......... No place is truly safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSky Posted November 9, 2014 Share #22 Posted November 9, 2014 Well I pumped up the tires, charged the battery, and took the VR out for about a 10 mile ride. It ran great. I love the sound of that V4 winding up! So, I hope it will make it to MB and back Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skid Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share #25 Posted November 9, 2014 I'll probably be in my Dodge truck and operate a little 40 meter mobile. If any hams wants to make a QSO look me up tomorrow around 7.240 MHz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
