Hello Jim,
Great to hear from you as always. Yeah! The HMS Winnebago has set sail! Batten the hatches and full ahead! If you make it to the NC coast, Jim, you need to visit historic Beaufort, NC (Spanish horses dating to the Conquestadores running along the Shackleford Banks, the Old Graveyard with numerous maritime stories/ghost tales, the 3 maritime museums on the coast, Fort Macon at Emerald Isle, Blackbeard's house in Beaufort, historic Bath (where Blackbeard lived), Okracoke Island (Blackbeard's final resting place and where Steede Bonnet was captured), Blackbeard exhibit for the QAR...did I mention Blackbeard?? ANyway, you could drop by if you are closer to the mountains, my friend!

Hello Fernando,
Can I get that egg fried with a side of bacon?

P.S. Nice pics of the Book Mobile!
