That's about how I feel. I hate everything associated with Der GuuGle., but I apparently need it in order to recreate properly.

Like Rugby said...get a free app for Photobucket and a free app for tapatalk and download them to your phone....when you take a pic with the phone...it automatically sends it to PB...you navigate your way to PB...copy the img code and paste it in the dreply box on the forum...from your phone...piece of cake

The Photobucket app is very handy, but I'm just using the built in Android browser and it works fine. I haven't been assimilated into Tapatalk yet, but unless someone can tell me why I need to, I probably won't.

Hmmmm.... Which way to go tomorrow?????

Preliminary plans in progress - grab the NC and punt it 400 miles or steal the VA from where they think it's unstealable???

Nice helmet.

Now go up to 98 and grab a tag. ;)

That was one option - was going to check and see if you wanted to fetch it from there. The other was Farmville if you didn't so a friend in Roanoke would have a shot at it.

I'll find that file pic you posted a while back in front of the gate and duplicate that. Then you can "grab" it with your file pic.

Farmville and hsc are five minutes apart. ;)
How early are you thinking of heading north? I'm free in the am. :)

Not sure. Getting ready to check the weather, etc. I'll send a PM shortly. Certainly earlier rather than later-er.

Grab the NC Tag. I've been spending all my time on 64 lately and would rather not make that run again for a few days.

Punt it west...the mountains folk haven't had the tag in like 4 or 5 months. Then again, they could easily come down the mountain and go get it if they want. Actually, the more I think about it...let them come down from the mountain to get it.

Bring the tag back to Raleigh instead. Let it float around the local area for a while. Put it in downtown Cary

I'm going to wait until the last minute to decide - like I always do...

If/when/where I go, it's going to be early. I'm going to set the alarm for 5, get up and drink coffee for a while and then pull the plug on something. VA is probably a 10 hour round trip and I've got a dog that can maybe do 10 or 12 in the house by himself (but he'll be pissed when I get back), but it's decent-ish roads from here. Basically US 15 from Creedmoor to within about 20 miles of the tag. About 470 miles round trip from my driveway. Further than I've done in a single day. Travis is a good bit closer, but I'd rather ride up 15 than straight east of here.

Kicking around all the pros and cons now.

yeah man! They bogarted it all winter, so make them work!

I'd be tagging - still need to wait 2 more weeks to put full weight on the leg - weekend of the 21st or the 28th and I'll be grabbing some tags for sure. At least it's not like when I broke the ankle in 2007 in a bike accident.

I'd say move it slightly east even - make it just a tiny bit more difficult to get from the mountains.
