Playing in Charleston, SC tonight!  Hopefully I can get back to GA quickly and safely and get some rest so I can hang out with friends on the lake tomorrow.  :)

Thursday night, Friday and Saturday we camped. We came home early Sundaqy morning and the wife and I spent yesterday and all of today on the Harley.

Side note..... Thursday when we pulled into the campground the weather was about to unleash itself on us. The owner of the campground said "We're under a tornado watch". I got up the side of the mountain and then the skies opened and it hailed and rained like I've never seen.
I was terrified that I wouldn't be able to get my family out of there if I spotted a tornado because I still had a 7000 lb. trailer hooked to my truck. This is one of the few times in my life that I was actually scared.... because my Family was stuck. I had already eye balled the area and found a place to take refuge if necessary.

It was scary as Hell. My Friends daughter is still terrfied... the hail unched three baseball size holes in the roof fo his trailer.

Spent the weekend at the cabin. We had one huge rain storm. No hil or tornados fortunately.

Mikekoz,  Glad that you made it home saely and didn't get hurt by the hail, tornados etc.

There sure have been a lot of tornados around the country lately. Pretty scary stuff.

We have had way too much rain and cold weather here in Minnesota.

Hope that everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend.

As a Canuck I don't understand your Memorial Day weekend.  I'll stick to our May long!  Where I hopefully get to barbecue and spend some time outside without my toque  :D

Dude.... it's an important day to Americans. It is a day for us to take pause and remember those that have lost their lives fighting in wars. This isn't a difficult thing to understand at all. We take a little time to remember those that gave the ultimate sacrifice so that we can all have the freedoms that we enjoy.

Those that think this important day is about kicking off Summer and BBQs should be ashamed of themselves.

Bros, no disrespect intended.  Just being honest.  As a Canadian I had no idea what memorial day was about.  Now I do from reading the posts.  We have the May long weekend (Victoria Day).  Thought it was a similar holiday, that's all.

You have holidays around the same dates as ours, different names and different reasons.  July 1 instead of July 4.  Your thanksgiving comes about a month earlier - guess you enjoy the season change earlier.
