Snowbird Get Together 2016

Boy, Tom, the sun wasn't down last year and it was chilly for the Florida crew! This year it is going to be better...I got my blankie all set in the trailer..But, Janice is going to sleep in the house...No trailer for her!
I will open my trailer in NJ, so Leo, John, Bozo, and Jonesy will have all the "good" weather you spoke about! LOL
Drpepper, has an open trailer, but he could sneak in some rain from MS, under the fender!
Just wait and see!
Your Buddy from the North!

Hello Rick, yes you are welcome to join us for any part of our gathering you wish. We will be in Ormond Beach as you know but, it is more than a 2 hour ride each way from the Tampa and especially with the construction on I-4. Also if you are not familiar with out Florida winter, once the sun goes down so does the temp, like a rock. We will be deciding on our rides on Sunday afternoon (7 Feb). We normally leave by about 9 am for our rides and get back late afternoon which really puts you at a very early ride from and late ride back to Tampa. If you decide to join us, please do register so we know who will be there. You are welcome either way.

Tom
Thank you, Tom, I very much appreciate the information.
 
We are looking good with the registrations and down to 4 weeks !! Lets hope the weather holds out for us this year with no rain days. This means that Rosy has to stop somewhere in Georgia, open his trailer to allow the bad weather out before he crosses the Florida border!! We have had 1 cancel due to family issues, we wish him the best and hope to see him at other TrikeTalk gatherings.
See everyone soon and have a very safe trip down or up depending which way you get there.

Tom
Rosy stop at the South of The Border and see Pedro , leave all the cold air with him !!!!!
see ya soon !!

Fred, I don't see your name on the registration sheet?? You going to join use for the rides and or stay at the motel, if so would be nice to sign up. You are welcome either way.

Tom
 
Fred, that's a great idea, and have a couple tamales, enchiladas, or refried beans! Hey, how are their margaritas, maybe a corona margarita would be good also!
Gee Tom, with that stop, maybe I won't get to Florida, I'll stay there for the winter! LOL
Skuuter, some new grub to try!
Rosy
 
WOW, and I thought you were my Friend, that's OK, I really don't want to be around when you take you muck boots off either! Know what I mean! LOL
Bring some of your home cured ham to Florida and we will have a breakfast party at the house!
Tom doesn't like home cured ham, so he is not invited!
See you in a few!

Thanks Tom , I have a job doing Dealer trades , new vehicles , for a transport company , we cover the whole state and surrounding upper states etc , on call , should be able to get away on a sunday .
 
Hey Fred, how are the puppies? Last time we heard they were going to the Vets, but that was year.
Rosy
 
Well, they fit right in, lots of people in Florida do not like hot weather. Janice and I say, bring it on! We love hot weather.
Great to hear they are doing well!
See you soon.

If you like our weather so much, then just what is taking you so long to get back down here?? And don't forget to stop on the way down and let out the cold!!! And wash off the road salt as you won't need it here!!

Tom
 
Waiting for Bath fitters to come and redo the bathroom, and Glass Routes to put new panes of glass in bath window..blew seals!
Also just got back from New Mexico, seeing the Grandchildren! I need about a week to get my stenght back up after driving 5,000+ miles. LOL
Couldn't fly, Grandparents need to spoil their Grandchildren, so the vehicle was full of presents!
Also, collecting as much cold air in the trailer as I can, so I can open it up at Tom's house!
Ha, how do you like me now Tom..Cold..cold air for you!
See you soon!

Well if freight stays slow, and the tornado's don't get me, I just might make it! Last night they were a couple of miles north and a little less south, I felt like a wet, windy sandwich!
 
Yes, have friends who were near the storm. WOW, glad you are safe and sound, look forward to see you.
See, tell Tom that tornado was not my fault! I am sure I will get blame for this tornado, just like the cold weather!
See you soon!

Hi Fred ,glad everything is ok & you may make it . My son is camping down south of you , yesterday they moved to another campground to be closer to the beach . They are looking for sharks teeth today near Venice . He said the campground was all messed up from the storm that went threw the day before .
We are getting real close guys & girls, & the weather has not been too bad . Yesterday I rode the bike too church , and was told by a couple that " I must be gritty to ride today " . That was a very nice complement , but realy , me gritty , lol , I guess I should have told them about the heater on the stallion ;) NOW, snowbirds, the weather all hinges on Rosy's trailer . How much cold will sneak in as he's coming down .I know he will have all the cracks around the doors taped to keep the cold out . And I know he is willing to go over, way over, the speed limit to try & out run the cold , just for us .:pepper:But if he gets a few speeding tickets , are we all on the hook to help him out ,:xzqxz: he did it for us, RIGHT ? ;) Rosy , the best I can do is a cup of coffee :Coffee:BUT have faith, there are a lot of good people here ,& you know they all will want to help ,lol . Please , everyone have a safe trip down , we are staying in a campground one mile away from hotel , hope to see everyone soon ,last year we both got sick & had to cancel the camping ,

Well, Janice and I decided not to come this year to the Snowbird Gathering because Tom has not done his "warm weather dance", it is 54F in New Smyrna Beach today. I can go visit Leo and Bikerbozo in NY & NJ and be as warn as Bruce and Debbie are NSB, for a lot less travel time! ☃🌧
Gee Herman, you and Reggie better have a pot of coffee on, rather than a cup for Janice and I! LOL ☕☕☕☕☕
Only a few more days before we head South, it better warm up soon, or we may take a right in Florence and go visit Dennis and Marylin in MS.
Tom, get your B..TT going on this warm weather business, or I'll ask ultraFred to sic his puppies on you!
Have a nice day Tom!

Bad idea Rosy, dang cold here right now , Had SNOW flurries this morning .Weather man says cold all week
 
I guess this Canadian cold has gotten the whole East in the cold. From the Mississippi River to the Atlantic Ocean! LOL
⛷ ⛸ ☃ ❄️
I have a Friend who winters in Florida and does voluntary work in his area and they are very concerned about the homeless people freezing. They are going around telling them to go to the shelters to stay warm!
Tom, you can start your, Warm Florida Dance any time now!
Bruce, call Tom and tell him to get started! Thanks!
Not my fault!
Rosy
 
Cold weather

Dr. Pepper, your welcome to follow me south as its not any better here in the smoky mountains. I woke up to 9 degrees this morning with the weather man calling for one to two feet of snow in the mountains tonight. If this doesnt let up soon i'll be camping on tom's door step real soon.
Anything has to be better than this. I might even consider rosy's trailer if it's in florida. Lol

My trailer will be in Florida soon, but not before the huge snow storms comes our way!
I am going to get a revolving tickets thing like they have on the deli counter, pick a number, because my trailer is going to be full with all the request going South! LOL Gee, maybe I'll make a bunkhouse out of it, so everybody will have a place to sleep on the way South!
🏖 🏝 🍹

We were 12F, last night, 19F right now 11:56AM, with very strong gust, so you know the windchill factor is down there.
Brrrr..
Come on Tom, what are you waiting for? :pepper: :clapping:
Rosy
 
WOW, OK, next week, but we will be heading your way, you better hurry! I hope our house has heat, if not, we are sleeping in the trailer!
