CaptainJoe

Well, you have been pretty quite of late. Thought maybe you needed something to do...

Question? Whenever I thank someone for a post, why does it come up like this: captainjoe thanked for this post? and not this: baylensman thanked for this post? or captainjoe thanked this post? No biggie,,, just bugging me.

Thanks Roger...

Any particular reason that #4 coil is used when hooking up a tachometer?

May you have a Speedy recovery. Penny and I will be praying for ya.

Sounds Great Mike! Tiki Bar 6 pm on 12 th followed up by a rocket launch at 10:44 PM and a ride to your place... Friday wake up and ride to the Keys.... I like it when a plan comes together...

Ha... Steve is a very good friend of mine, but neither one of us is gay... so the answer to that suggestion is HELL NO!.... LOL Problem solved... I called Kingsail and they extended our stay to include the 13th and14th:thumbsup2:

Going to look at getting a motel room in Key largo for additional two days. 13th & 14th .. as this is Friday and Saturday, wish me luck..

Our reservations in Marathon, FL don't start till 3 pm Sunday. That's why I was inquiring about sight seeing in central florida around the lakes.

thanks, I've been on those roads before around Titusville it's beautiful, the closer you get to Miami the more stop and go... built up over the years to the point it's uninteresting.. That's why I'd prefer to go inland to central Florida. to see the folks.

Well then, I'll have to try it...

Ha! Made me looK it up: Ceviche - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Don't like rawfish.... so I'll pass... I'll take the fresh caught fried fish sandwiches any day! My daughter eats this kind of stuff all the time. Which reminds me... Leo, what was that I tried in Islamaorada. The husband and wife ordered me one ? nice to know the restaurant is only a mile up rt#1

I didn't really care who won or lost, but could someone explain that last call? 1st down, at the one yard line, with +24 seconds on the clock and he calls for a pass?...Huh...WHAT! Stupidest call I have ever witnessed...

Nice Pics. Now that's what I call a mess of fish!

The sound side has a long run of nothing but trees also.. We'll probably do both. one on the way down and one on the way back. Really helpful to know where the good places to eat are.

\\ Good point Leo, Weather permitting... Even though the weather should be good, to start out on the 10th it may surprise us. If it does we will just have to delay our departure date.

Mike, That's definitely doable. Only thoughts are, if the launch is on time we will have two full days to kill. Friday and Saturday. Most of Friday will be taken up with the ride down. Would like to be close to the keys Saturday night. as Sunday will be an easy ride to Marathon, checkin at 3PM . Wouldn't mind seeing Everglades park Saturday . Question is where to stay friday and Saturday night; around Homestead area? or, north if cheaper. Any suggestions? Any must sees in the area? Any thoughts?

Nor would my patience... LOL was driving rt 1 south of Titusville and after a few miles we had stop and go every block...jumped on turnpike with the crazies...

Thank you very much. The voices in my head didn't like them...LOL

Parasailing?

Hey Leo, Yes that sounds doable. Trying to get some alterative route(s) and things to see if the launch goes off on time. (we'll have all day Friday and Saturday to fill). We can't check into Kingsail till 3pm Sunday. There's the Everglades park that Cowpuc suggested... sounded interesting to me . Also, when Steve an I rode across alligator ally a few years back, they had airboat rides...I'm thinking that would be... fun. See what you can find out. It's 323 miles from Titusville to Kingsail Motel so... if we had to, it could be done in one day.

Thanks Guys, All of this is good to know. It will give us some options depending what happens with the launch. T-minus 6 weeks and counting!

Yeah...right Puc.. Knowing you, you'd be the one crunching on a fried gator... (wasn't that in Adam Sandler's WaterBoy movie)?LOL

Thanks Guys, Will be posting info(a formal invite) on the trip tomorrow... Just made my reservations for 4 days at Kingsail Resort. Been a looooooooong day... Info on launch... launch at Cape Canaveral : Targeted Date: March 12, 2015 Mission: Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) Description: Launching from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla. on an Atlas V 421 launch vehicle, the Magnetospheric Multiscale, or MMS, mission will study the mystery of how magnetic fields around Earth connect and disconnect, explosively releasing energy via a process known a magnetic reconnection.

Is I-95 as quick (around Miami) as the Florida turnpike?
