    When I got off work yesterday evening, my hunny wanted me to go by the country store a few miles from home to pick up some BBQ. 0708221841.jpg It has been in business a long time, they have a little bit of almost everything. Just up from the store is a dirt road that goes over towards our house. I decided to go that way, didn't know how much it rained. After I started down that way, I realized I couldn't turn around. Took some driving skills, but made it through to the paved road on the other end. Decided not to try the other 2 dirt roads to go straight home...

    Back roads and dirt roads are always my choice. About halfway home from a town south of us we can cut in the woods and take dirt roads home. Whenever I ask the kids if they want to take the woods home the answer is almost always "YES!".

    We’ve had them all week and it’s in the forecast again today. I saw pics of North Myrtle Beach flooded.

    Getting a little much needed drizzle here too. I just filled up the cr-v on my way home from Baltimore Thursday and petrol was 4.55 for the cheap stuff. No pics of said BBQ?

    We would love to get some mud on the trucks around here. Been just dust for too long....we're dry dry. Finally some rain last night, not much, but at least it was overnight so it could last longer....

    Could you send me 100 gallon of diesel at that price? It's about $1.00 cheaper than what I can get locally.

    The difference between us and them is the color of the dirt on the side of the truck is more brown... Why I buy brown cars and trucks. They don't show it so bad except on the windows.

    That’s funny about different areas of country; here can sell a used vehicle without AC But a 2wd truck; dealers won’t have them on lot.

    I want your fuel prices

    Lots of folks down here have white vehicles, Kaolin, a white clay is mined in this area. It's on a lot of the paved roads.
