mikeR1100R Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 We will be in the frozen white tundra otherwise known as CT with a brand-new granddaughter then. Otherwise that sounds like a great first motorcycle get-together since moving to FL. Enjoy! Link to comment
tallman Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 Congratulations. Please bring her along next year. Link to comment
DaveCinNO Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I've always wanted to make this event but it falls on my anniversary (47th) and grand daughter's birthday (13th). That's two ladies I don't want to disappoint! So it took some cajoling and negotiating about the importance of a specific date vs a date close to the magic one...and I was granted exception to celebrating on the exact day...as long as it was prior to the magic date. With all that said, as long as I'm really good the previous weekend I'm not free for Ceder Key XV and will be arriving Friday afternoon. I've made a reservation at the Faraway Inn so it looks like I'm in! This should be a hoot, looking forward to seeing everyone. Link to comment
Indy Dave Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 All right Dave! We're looking very forward to this, and Shawn having a chance to meet many of you she's only heard about. Those will be epic! Link to comment
tallman Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 Dave, Great news. Saturday sunset cruise? We have 8 so far room for 1 or 2. Link to comment
DaveCinNO Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Sunset cruse sounds like fun, count me in. Link to comment
Indy Dave Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Are the rumors true that the Dynamic Duo will be together again for an updated photo? Link to comment
Kinsley Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Yes, we plan to expand our influence upon the region Link to comment

Kinsley Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Pat, if you're speaking of my height, I'm probably standing on some phone books to get to Tim's height Link to comment
Marty Hill Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Either one is standing on a box or the other is standing in a hole. Link to comment
tallman Posted December 24, 2018 Author Share Posted December 24, 2018 Marty, both. So, our refrigerator just went belly up. Big box stores don't have delivery available until after January 17th. Most used refrigerators around here have seen fish heads, literally. Time for a Christmas miracle. Dave, you are #9. Link to comment

Most used refrigerators around here have seen fish heads, literally. Time for a Christmas miracle. Dave, you are #9. Buy the display,.....you should be able to talk to the manager and get that deal. I've done it quite a few times, even on items that are "in their warehouse". Link to comment
tallman Posted December 25, 2018 Author Share Posted December 25, 2018 Good idea, but delivery an issue. Long story. Immediate need due to holiday. Ended up with a $1499 one for $400 delivered by independent. Had to do some end runs and cajoling, but in the end, Baby It's Cold Inside the refrigerator. So, brisket done and ready, potatoes, chili, veg soup, corn bread/biscuits. Turkey in in the morning and multiple sides too. Cooking breakfast, eggs, omelets, bacon, cinnamon rolls, for everyone, then chili, veg soups. Dinner will be turkey, brisket, and trimmings galore. Family, grandsons, and the dogs. Merry Christmas to all! Happy Holidays, make your plans to start the New Year in Cedar Key! Link to comment

Indy Dave Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 The Mrs. tells me it was 70 today in Cedar Key. Tic Toc . . . . Link to comment
Indy Dave Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Florida Types are advising me the temps were higher than that - 79 or better! Up this way, anything over 40 is a heat Link to comment
tallman Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 Dave, Average is 46-69. We've had freezing (30-40 folks). We've had very warm. (over 100) No longer promote off this site. That week has forecast range 0f 30's to high 60's. It will most likely be cool/chilly/cold on the water. Time of day, wind, etc. Layer, wind stopper jacket. If not needed great. We can hope for a 75 degreeer. McGruff is compiling a to do list for me... Link to comment
Indy Dave Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I've seen the photos of bundled up folks sitting outside overlooking the water. Still looks inviting to me! I'm under no illusions that the Swedish Bikini Sky Diving Team is going to land and feed me grapes and fan me as I bask bronzing myself on the beech. Mrs. Indy Dave, however, will track temperatures for weeks or more, much like many will track sports stats. For all I know, she's in a fantasy league about such things! The odds favor warmer temps than the MidWest, and certainly better scenery. For the change in scenery alone, we'll put up with the questionable company. Link to comment
Chris K Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Just booked the last room available at the Faraway Inn. See y'all on that Friday evening. Link to comment

tallman Posted January 20, 2019 Author Share Posted January 20, 2019 Weather looking good. FarAway Inn says the remodeling from hurricanes complete. Anyone else coming to our place Thursday night, get in touch, party starts early. Hmm, after 15 years, maybe I should talk to the people who run the place and ask this appear in the annual events.

tallman Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 Bernie, not yet. Called Away From the World and, they just replied. We're looking good. But, they're open, as is Steamers, 83, Duncans, Raw Bar, more. So I'll scope it oput Friday night and see ya Saturday. Supposed to be sunny and pushing 60. I'm fine outside with that, but some may want inside. You know those Tamp BMW Riders group, going this far north... 11:30ish hopefully on the deck over the water. Link to comment

If you get caught in there just hope it's by the po-po, it makes banjo Appalachia look civilized. Link to comment
Richard_D Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Thanks Bill. I'll pass. I didn't know it was private . Google satellite maps has a good view of it. Link to comment

All the private hunting roads and areas are posted . She's not sure you can make it all the way to 95th due to rain and logging companies dumping rock lately. If I were on the right bike I would explore the area. You don't have to be afraid to go in there and check it out some time. Let me know if you do. Link to comment

I'd given up on it, 4 maybe 5 years ago I went in the Buck Island Rd. east entrance and it was gated with a lot of 'private', 'keep out', and 'no trespassing signs'. So I'm guessing that's changed (I almost mentioned it was a possibility but unlikely : )) It was one of the reasons I started diverting Trans-Fla to other small west coast towns, the silver lining is we have more choices now and keep finding more good stuff to ride on that side of the state. I'll probably check it out in the next few weeks and let you know. Link to comment
Bernie Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I am on my way. Stopped in Gainesville for coffee a bagel. 40F and warming up. Blue skies and sun peaking out. 1 Link to comment
