The Co-op, Travel Day back to the Shire

its Sunday, still trying to figure out posting here with my phone and these €£¥¥=%_ small buttons.  Travel Day for Janie and me heading home to Orlando.  Only 2 flights home compared to the 3 flight fun journey running across the Charlotte airport and the puddle jumper to Knoxville today should be better.  I see flying on 9.11 as showing how terrorists have failed to effect us.  I’ll  update this page during a layover .. I want to get through last week’s events so tomorrow I’ll  get back to work and back to the goings on there.  I must admit this time was good for me.  Event this week make even more exciting the goings on at the shop.

Have you heard of ” the tail of the dragon”?  We drove that Ford Focus back and forth all week.    Man I wish we had our motorbike!  Janie registered as the only driver…. she got pretty good at digging into the curves and I got used to be that lizard on the hood….. turn around is only fair!  Man Gatlinburg is right in the middle of the Great Smokey Mountains…… didn’t know why they called it “Great” til this trip.. man you need to give it a shot.  A free 6 day stay and they paid me $100 for being tranquil while they hammered me with a sales pitch… no problem, 2 hours and they gave up and we were there.  Points for the flights man Janie is a super social director.  I think the most cash was spent on those 32oz. Micro brewery beers…. good stuff.  What’s better than a week’s vacation?  A cheap one to boot!

But wait…. There’s more!  Got a post from Bill D. who pointed out there was a huge car show at Pigeon Forge the weekend, Janie was going to surprise me with that.  The top 25 at the top of the hill at Dolly world were well tops.  A Chevy wagon I think. 

Among another thousand or so other card.  hooked up with Bill and we talked about what else his 23′ coach at the ship….. small world.   Made me wanna get home and get on it.  The guys are continuing his paint while I’m  gone . ..  it’s hard to get used to that.  It’s been…. well never since I could do that!   Stay tuned for more today as we fly. .

And what the trip was for we spent much time taking in the National Park.  I mean isn’t that what this place is all about…. whenever the tour book says “slight assent ” don’t believe it. 

My flatlander legs are walked out!  One cool thing about having a car show nearby you really see some neat cars…  my Dad had one of these. 

The rest of the time was spent just enjoying the scenery  .  I’ll  be back in the humid heat Monday and the fun at the shop.  Everyone needs time off..  I get that now, I feel great and ready to go. Thanks for coming with me on this trip..    I promise to say “GMC Motor home many times tomorrow.  We’ll  see ya then. ..
