A fellow shipmate from my days aboard the USS Nimitz is coming through town Thursday for a two day stay. He and his wife are traveling in their RV from Washington state to south Florida to meet up with their son. We plan to get together for a meal or two and talk about old times. I have stayed in touch with a few of them over the years. Facebook, back when I was on it, facilitated a few of us finding each other. I no longer have an active FB account. Apparently he has a cruise book which is sort of like a school class book so it will be cool to see all those pics. It should be a good time.
I dropped Facebook as well. 2019. If I recall.

Morning Gents!

A month from today we leave for Laconia. I'm typically the route planner in my circle, I started working on that a couple weeks ago along with some day rides. I might be really late to the game on this one but I just heard of these "Butler Maps" recently and decided to check them out, I think they're pretty popular with the ADV/off-road crowd but it seems like they do a really good job with their road maps as well.

I usually do OK looking at google maps and seeing which roads look curvy enough and go in the general right direction but I can see these being great to have in the future. Apparently the people who make the maps go out and have ridden all these roads and give them ratings, gold being the highest rating, and they look like this.



These are all the road maps if anybody is interested

What's good for the goose is good for the gander. I delete everything I post on Facebook after a couple days.

Morning, morning Woods. A cups coffee this morning as I slogged through renewing my Global Entry status. They’ve added some new questions since my last application.
