Camry runs good as can be as got about 34mpg on way to Denver NC


And spec'd for a 20 weight?


Yup, all in the name of cafe

The Camry has never had a check engine light or oil related issue other than faulty oil psi sender I replaced.
 
I used to stay in Frisco just about every year. Fishing is best for Spanish Macks and Blues just about now.. early weeks of June. Fish off the piers with Gotcha Jigs.. or in the surf with Stingsilver spoons. The Piers always had the guys with the two or three pole rigs fishing for Kings or Cobias..

When the 'bite is on' you can catch a fish with every cast.. or get fouled up as the end of the piers is elbow to elbow. I have seen many people get hooks in faces and other places..it can be a frenzy.

If you want nearly the same experience as the outer banks...try Atlantic Beach NC. The last few times i have been in June it was like a ghost town for the most part.

FYI do not go to the Orange Blossom bakery in Buxton.. if its still open. Guaranteed to gain a few lbs.
 
Well, had a good beach day yesterday. Thunderstormed here few hours ago with gnarly lightning strikes close. Still black skies out there

Enjoying this after some steak and chicken on grill. Ready to hopefully see blues wipe out Bruins like Allies wiped floor with Hitler


Great choice of adult beverage !!ðŸ‘
Enjoy your beach trip and be safe
 
Picked up some New Belgium "VOODOO RANGER IPA"

Very tasty as just came back from Cape Hatteras lighthouse. Very cool

Still real cloudy and 70F though. Anyone tell me why down here they will not accept glass on recyclables? Odd, as landfill we passed on way in here. Hmmm

From Google : Dare county is the only county in NC that has it's own glass crusher. The county gives away crushed glass for landscaping, check out the glittering landscaping at Jockeys Ridge. Establishments selling alcoholic beverages are mandated by state law to recycle their glass containers. Out of 100 counties in NC, Dare county has more recyclables than any other. It does seem odd they won't take glass as a recyclable.

Very odd indeed. They will gladly accept anything plastic and grocery stores here want people to use paper
 
Go north all the way until the road stops if you have 4wd. Don't take any awd - subaru and audit do fine but many escapes, explorers, pilots, crvs get buried in the sand. My Montero is pretty rugged but the lifted trucks and jeeps with big tires really do best.
Have fun.

Thanks! Guess that puts the myth to rest that heavier oils cause timing issues and loss of mpg....
 
JLTD: we took mom and stepdad 11' Mercedes GLS 350 SUV out to outer banks. Its NOT going on the beach

And yes, I'll probably blend some Maxlife 15w40 with Valvoline Advanced syn or QSUD I got for $17~

You like thong sandals? They don't wedge in between your toes causing rash?

One thing I have noted is there a decent amount of Asian tourists and workers at surf shops, etc. Very gracious and great, wonderful people I might add
