Shiva Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 In regards to the speaker destroyer, I just discovered his videos yesterday. His gleeful irreverence to all things audio and also his destructive nature, just makes me laugh out loud when I see these drivers start to smoke and burn. Then these poor things, which use to make music, are smashed off the table with a weight plate. For myself, a crack-up. 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 4 miles away from Wrightsville Beach and the strand/sand is nicer. Parking is a problem though ($3.50/hour). Our cottage was at Kill Devils Hill in between Nags Head and Kitty Hawk. My favorite times to go was April/early May or September/October when kids are back in school and tourist not as thick. Don't know how things are with little traveling. Thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I don't have a cell phone. I don't even know how to "text" ... and this is as social as I get on media. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't get a cell phone until I was well into my 40s. Neither did the wife until her and the kids were driving a few states over and I suggested getting a cell phone just in case of emergency. say, is it ever humid there and dry year round? I guess you're far enough west to get out of the humid band that hits Texas (not sure where that humid zone ends). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you're far enough west to get out of the humid band that hits Texas (not sure where that humid zone ends). Yes It gets "humid" July - Sept. It will get a stifling 30% and rain a little. They used to call the beginning of "monsoon" when the dew point was 54` or higher for 3 days in a row. There is never an excess of rain. We will get 20in [all year] in a good year. Don't want you to think we get it all in monsoon... Half of that during the monsoon. Then we have another "wet" season in the winter. It usually gets nice right after the rodeo, golf tourney, gem show... Murphy sez. Neither of these rainy periods are terribly productive or reliable. One year, I think it went 10 months between significant rain. so, yeah... it is pretty dry all year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasshopper Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 y'all can't tell me you don't watch Mythbusters just to see them blow something up the supersonic ping pong ball was pretty cool for no explosions. Mornin' all Got a few cups of coffee down... I can be civil now. Going for an out of house experience today. Wife has an appt with the eye Dr. I get to drive. We might swing by the WhiteElephant after. Wonder if those tribal coats are still there... if the place is open... Our temps are trending downward ... toward normal. We might see a few days under 90`.... before 90 is average. The weather person was kinda funny. They were talking about the possibility of more rain, after we got wet last week.... They all but said, "Good luck with that before July". They did say they didn't see any thru the end of the month. ... and June is drier than May. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Willie we've had lows in the upper thirties for about a week, highs just under 60 mostly or 70 that one day. Heck last month we were at 88 several days over 80 lots and it was great! I want my global warming back!! But heck I ravenously read Nat Geo from `68 - `75 before politics permeated everything including clothes being made with recycled plastic (NOT mine) selvedge baby! It had been decided that a mini ice age was on the way and temps would fluctuate wildly for a couple thousand years before the deep plunge. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but that changed when someone figured out after years there was money to be made on the other side of the spectrum, global warming, now there is a place to throw money. Heck even the guy who invented the internet figured it out and is cashing in to the point that teen girls are screaming it to get in on some of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted May 12, 2020 Moderators Share Posted May 12, 2020 Got bored and had an idea Had a yellow shirt which is the right color for the background of the 1775 Gadsen flag so I made one for me... Front and back, different angle/lighting so it looks like a different a different color/shirt but it's not. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigStewMan Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I thought Calvin Coolidge said that. Apologies to the writer's of the Andy Griffith show for ripping off that line. 11 minutes ago, dtel said: Got bored and had an idea Had a yellow shirt which is the right color for the background of the 1775 Gadsen flag so I made one for me...
