I see the conundrum. |

In past years, people would ride over to the area and get a room for Saturday night. That way, they could do the rides on both Saturday and Sunday. Why not do the same? This way, you could join us for lunch and do the HHR. You'd have a warmer ride over to New York and you'd get to spend more time with everybody. (Message edited by Crusty on October 23, 2016) |

According to Google, it's an hour and a half ride for me. Not a problem. I'll have to use one of the Beemers, though... the Zero would be able to JUST get there, but without quick-charging capability it'd take nine hours to recharge it for the ride back home. https://goo.gl/maps/iyjFnvp9Tuq |

Jaime, it doesn't matter what you ride, or even if you come in a car or on a pogo stick (or a Hughes 500). The idea if for a group of similarly deranged (yet different) people to gather, shoot the breeze and enjoy some good BBQ. Every day, I check the forecast for Wingdale for Saturday. It keeps changing. A few days ago, it was supposed to be sunny and mid 50s. Yesterday, low 50s and 70% chance of rain. Today, it's mostly cloudy and a high of 53 with a 20% chance of rain. I don't care if it's a monsoon; I'll be there. Hell, I got soaked last time, and I don't regret going, I get soaked every morning when I take a shower, so I can tolerate a little more water for good company and good food. |

It's "that time of year." Could be worse... could be snow... |

It snowed on Halloween a few years ago, don't jinx it! |

I think I can handle BBQ two days in a row. See you there Crusty. Big W is a fine BBQ spot and is in my regular rotation. |

Gorgeous here at Big W today. I'm flying Pleasant Valley to Long Mountain, CT tomorrow so, of course, the wx is promising to go to Marginal VFR. Fingers crossed ..... |

I was just talking to my friend Dondi, and I told her about this lunch gathering. I directed her to this thread as well as the photo of the brisket that Court poster on the Crusty's Travels thread. At first, she was going to have me bring back some brisket; then she got a look at the photo Froggy put up. Now, I have orders to bring back an order of ribs. Just a few more days... |

Weather looks promising (if a little on the "chilly" side) for tomorrow. See you at 12:30! |

II'll be out the door in a couple of hours. It looks like I may have to ride through some rain on the way down, but it should be good after I get through it. See you all at lunch! |

Don't know how I didn't fall asleep on the ride home. It's dinner time, but I'm not the least bit hungry (can't imagine why). For those going on the HHR tomorrow, wear rain gear and have a GREAT time! |

I just noticed something Crusty: You need to check the date/time on that camera. That photo was taken almost 14 hours AFTER the indicated timestamp... |

>>>That photo was taken almost 14 hours AFTER the indicated timestamp... Have you ever taken a photo of Froggy? Odd stuff happens . . . I mean folks from Publisher's Clearing House call . . . time begins to warp and children and young girls begin to giggle. I once saw him pull along side an AMC Pacer and . . from what I can gather . . his mere presence made the car begin to smoke. Not to quick blaming the poor innocent electronics . . . |

This poor POS camera has been all over the world (literally) and I can't really blame it for not knowing what day it is. (Guess what day it is!) Of course, I could probably dig out the owner's manual (it's around here somewhere; I think) and correct it, but where's the fun in that? |

If you look at it this way, in a week it will only be 13 hours off. Or maybe 15, I don't know how to math anymore. Now I need to find some time to try that place in Jersey with the brisket with bacon and cheese on a glazed doughnut sandwich. ( http://i.imgur.com/lXeYar2.jpg ) |

Kimchi Smoke Barbecue. http://www.kimchismoke.com/ 301 Center Ave, Westwood, NJ 07675 Looks like the Chonut is only available on Fridays and Saturdays, I was hoping to hit it before work during the week but I guess I'll wait. |

When the weather warms up next Spring, we ought to have a Lunch Gathering there. It looks pretty promising. |

Hey! I'm planning to ride to the Arctic Circle next year and I'm hoping to be there for some Midnight Sun! I bet the camera will say High Noon. |

Finished my leftovers. Even better when slathered with the Dinosaur BBQ's Wango Tango Habanero BBQ sauce! |
