I wish it was Thursday. That would mean tomorrow is over and the rock sliders and Baja rack are mounted. Sooooooo, come on Thursday!!
Hmm....still need to figure out the food situation too.

Lock washers and rubber washer should do the job, might drill the hole for a lock just cause you can't trust people anymore.

It's still looking like decent weather. Some severe thunderstorms coming through the area tomorrow night, but by Friday it supposed to be clearing up, with showers ending by midday.
I'm seeing better temperatures than I expected, should be nice Friday night... and maybe a little cold on Saturday night.

So I got to admit. Aside from the rock sliders, I was REALLY worried about registering the TB in FL. I usually try to avoid last minute things like this when they are dependent on other people, like the rock sliders, but, amazingly enough I was in and out of the Tax Collector's (AKA DMV) office in 10 mins.
So, yay! Now to pack, make some chocolate covered bacon, clean house for the dog sitter, and get Mike and hit the road! (And sleep)

You two be careful driving up tonight. You have a high probability of hitting some heavy storms.

They were talking 5% chance of tornadoes through Georgia, NC, and southern Va tonight. But some pretty wicked thunder storms nonetheless.

Just adds to the adventure. Thanks for the heads up though. We'll keep an active eye out for any danger or weather warnings. We left ourselves a 5 hour window in case we get slowed down for any reason.

So, is anybody else bringing an EZ-up? The weather looks like we won't need it by Friday night, but wanted to check. I'm considering not bringing it. It's heavy as hell and takes up a lot of room.
