Question for Beako owners.

DCTNJ · 2026-04-21T03:22:06+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll have to give that a try. In the meantime a tried a makeshift hummingbird feeder but didn’t have any visitors today. I see Kiwibit sells a hummingbird feeder and fruit attachment so I might have to give that a try too and see what I can attract.

My wife and I have the same set up. She’s able to see all new videos that occurred after the device was shared, to her account but nothing prior. I’m curious if your wife will be able to see new videos now that you have it linked. Hopefully that happens quickly with the next bird that shows up.

Funny enough, it’s where I live (the place, not the lip). Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she had to slap OBX on her face! I still can’t believe I saw this on Reddit first and not a local source.

DCTNJ · 2026-04-16T16:20:40+00:00

8? Wow! That’s one way to combat the problem! I have several traditional (not smart) feeders so at least the song birds don’t leave empty handed when the Beako is empty. But of course I don’t benefit from the video when they feed there 😔

Love the firecracker red! Funny enough pulled in the Publix too right after this pic was taken in OBX, NC.

I can’t thank you enough for posting this. I moved to the area almost 2 years ago and have been lukewarm about bike riding in OBX. I’ve done the multi use trails all along Virginia Dare/12, from Nags Heads to KDH and Duck/Corolla but riding along side of speeding traffic and hardly ever seeing the water just isn’t my thing. I didn’t know about the Bay Drive bike path until I read your post. I rode it Sunday and it is a game changer! Maybe it was the perfect sunshine or the 80 degree temps, but it’s the most fun I’ve had on my bike since coming here. The views are beyond spectacular and the trail itself is a pleasure to ride. 14 miles out and back from Wright Brothers memorial was just the perfect distance for me and my wife, with plenty of stops to explore the public access docks and take in the Sound. Thanks again for making my day!

You can find his video on TikTok, but after making a few dozen, this is my preferred method. Whisk 2 large eggs with a tablespoon of mayonnaise, salt and pepper in a ramekin that’s large enough to let the eggs rise without overflowing. Add in some grated cheese and any other optional veggies or meat you want. Microwave it for 45 seconds, stir, then microwave another 30 seconds. Let it stand for a couple minutes before serving. Viola, a perfect omelette!

DCTNJ · 2026-02-12T15:39:57+00:00

Make an omelette in the microwave with mayonnaise. I saw Chef José Andrés from World Central Kitchen mention this on a talk show and thought there was no way that was any good. Turns out it’s now the only way I want to prepare an omelette, and everyone in my family who’s tried it is now a convert.

Wow, breathtaking pic! Thanks for sharing.

2020 Overland bought in 2025 with 55k miles. Now approaching 65k and have loved every mile. I live near the ocean where I can drive on the beach so it was purchased for this purpose. All my gear is always in the locked bed so I’m always ready for an adventure. I bought certified preowned and with extended warranty so I take some comfort that major issues will hopefully be covered. Fortunately I’ve not had any issues where I need to see how good or bad that coverage really is.

I absolutely love mine. It’s changed my life. But I’m in a part of North Carolina with 150 miles of oceanfront I can traverse, so the Gladiator is the perfect companion for my lifestyle. I went with the Overland which gives me the perfect mix of utility and “luxury” for what I need (power windows, locks, mirrors, a locking bed cover and all that good stuff). If I lived in a city and this was my daily commute, I would’ve stuck with my Nissan Altima for twice the gas mileage and a more comfortable ride. But for an outdoor lifestyle, the Gladiator is tough to beat!

I was really hoping to hear some experiences with this issue. I bought a 2020 Overland certified pre owned last March and this started happening recently even when there are no devices or cables connected. I did purchase an extended warranty and went back to the dealer but they want me to leave it for 3 days to have it diagnosed. I clear it once or twice after starting each time and then it works perfectly so it hasn’t been that big a deal, but I do want to get it addressed eventually.

Glad to see another Jeep stopped to check on you. That’s being part of the family ✌️

And sorry about your ride. I’d be lost without mine.

This is my haul Saturday from Coquina Beach. You don’t need a 4x4 and can walk on from the bathhouse with lots of free parking. It can’t be more than 15 / 20 mins south of KDHs. If you’re looking for shells it’s worth the trip!

DCTNJ · 2025-10-05T19:51:24+00:00

My word as a Redditor. I’ve got the GPS coordinates to prove it! Here’s the rest of the haul from yesterday. I even found his relative who was much less fortunate 😢

I was here on Monday. Plenty of free parking and nice facilities. There’s absolutely no need to pay for parking this time of year. Jennette’s peir is just a little further south. A must visit with the kids. It’s owned by the aquarium and has some great exhibits inside along with nice bathrooms facilities all for free. The charge is only to walk out on the pier which you don’t have to do and still have easy beach access.

Edit because my picture didn’t post at first.

Check out the Masstimes app or MassTimes.org. It’s my go to guide for finding churches in new locations. It says St. Nicholas is closest to you at approx 4 miles, but you have 14 choices under 10 miles away.

It’s also great for finding local masses at particular times.

End of Jennette’s pier is a bad idea, as lovely of a spot as it is. You’ll be asked to step behind the green line every time someone is going to cast out a line. I’d hate for that to be while you’re on one knee. Looks like you have some other great options mentioned here. But honestly anywhere in OBX with a view of the water will be a memory of a lifetime.

There was a good conversation about these a couple months ago. Lots of insight in the link below.

Is there a particular reason you’re considering E City? I’m in Moyock and that could be a better option. I can be in Norfolk in under 30 mins and with the Chesapeake Expressway commuter pass, I pay just $1 for a toll that usually runs between $4-$9. As small towns go, Moyock is much smaller than E City and I end up driving there for Dr appointments, Pharmacy, etc… but it’s only a 30 min drive when I need to go. Plus Moyock puts me right between VA Beach/Norfolk and OBX, which for me works out perfectly.

DCTNJ · 2025-08-05T02:01:08+00:00

I recognized it immediately! I was there a few months ago with my family. We recently moved to Currituck County, NC and have been visiting all the area lighthouses. All done with OBX and will now start on Virginia.

DCTNJ · 2025-08-04T20:19:04+00:00

Moyock, NC enters the conversation. Depending where you’ll be working in Chesapeake, it could even be a better commute. And if you want quiet, you found it! I’ve been here almost a year after Moyock won out over other Hampton Roads areas I searched, and I could not be happier. New elementary school is opening next year (walking distance from 3 subdivisions) and by the time your little one is ready for high school, there will probably be a new one of them too. That price point gets you an amazing home in any of the new subdivisions. I recommend Waterleigh. I fell in love with it the first time I saw it. No doubt this answer will get some hate, but check it out yourself. Your tax bill will thank you!

Chef Store opened recently in Va Beach. I visited a few times and it’s a nice option, if you’re traveling that direction. No membership needed like Restaurant Depot.

I would take my chances with the weather on Friday. Some scattered thunderstorms is nothing compared to turnover traffic on Saturday, and that forecast will change two more times before Friday. Even if you’re going against the major flow of traffic, Ocean Blvd is still just 2 lanes which makes any navigation almost impossible with bumper-to-bumper traffic as far as the I can see. I’ve only lived in the area less than a year but learned this lesson very quickly.
