Say a few prayers, send your most positive energies, blessings, love and if you can, donate to relief efforts. It is going to get worse before it gets better for the folks on the coast.

Monday I was in Surf City, NC and took this photo by the fishing pier.
Here is what it looked like today (I wasn't there). Strength and blessings to all my fellow Carolinians. Stay dry and safe.

Florence made landfall at Wrightsville Beach/Wilmington NC this morning- about 25 miles south of this location. Winds are picking up inland though where I am west of Raleigh I think we'll dodge the brunt.
Ya'll keep it sexy out there. :-)

Nothing like a fine woman in black leather and a fine motorbike.. :-)
Left the house around 8am this morning to head to the Triumph dealer to get the Tiger inspected for this year's tags. Got to the dealer and the battery died. OK, good it died at the dealer, but that meant I was going to have to wait around until they could get a tech to it (instead of just an inspection). BUT...it was demo day....

@littlejohn22 I wanted to like it a lot more than I did. Great cast. But the plot ended up being a formulaic rehash of the prior Ocean movies. Just substitute women for men. The script had potential, but the dialog was flat. The quips and one-liners that made the first one so good aren't in it. Entertaining enough, but I'd rather have seen it on Netflix than spent the $s at the movies. Oh well.
littlejohn22:
OK, Netflix it is, thanks mate

Spring is finally cooperating! Put about 1000 miles on the Tiger over this past weekend. Miles and miles of twisties in the mountains of western NC, riding with my best friend from high school. And lots of good local craft beer at the end of each day! :-)

Pouring down rain the next few days so glad I got it to scratch the itch last weekend!
Had a chance to meet one of my all-time favorite musician and artist last night in Durham. Todd Rundgren is on tour with Utopia featuring 3 of the 4 members- Todd, Kasim Sulton and Willie Wilcox. The new member is Gil Assayas- an amazing young keyboard wizard! Todd has had an amazing career- always evolving- willing to explore multiple creative directions, collaborations and vehicles- and...

@littlejohn22- here's a pre-tour interview with Todd, Kasim and Willie- https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/8283638/todd-rundgren-utopia-reunion-interview
Unbelievable final run for the Flying Tomato to win the half pipe. What a career.
When the greatness of the Tao is present
action arises from one’s own heart
When the greatness of the Tao is absent
action comes from the rules
of “kindness” and “justice”
If you need rules to be kind and just
if you "act" virtuous,
this is a sure sign that virtue is absent
Thus we see the great hypocrisy
Only when the family loses the...

Dunno. Doesn't say on the YouTube credits. But she fills the stadium with a mighty sound!
