    Drove back from Detroit Tuned. What a lovely day for a 220 mile jaunt.

    On the road again. Heading back to Columbus Ohio.

    Stopped at Corbin Kentucky...
    Wanted to eat at the original Kentucky Fried Chicken Resturant. Had a two piece dinner. The chicken was OK, but I'll tell you what, the colonel may have fine tuned the cluck but he lost his way with the mashed potatoes and gravy.

    The museum was a fun time though.....

    Ahhhh....
    Yesterday afternoon, after leaving the Biltmore winery, we jumped on the Blue Ridge Parkway and took it all the way back to Cherokee. Man.... What a nice scenic trip back to Fontana.....

    Ahhhh, you guy's in North Carolina really need to get your weeds under control, that Kudzu stuff is kinda spooky. Don't be sending that stuff up to OHIO......

    Can't kill the dang stuff and it grows like a foot a day... The idiot or idiots that brought it here should face a firing squad.

    Kudzu was developed at Georgia Tech for the Georgia Dept. of Highways to grow fast and help eliminate soil erosion after road construction. I think they got the grow fast part right!!!

    Took my summer tire to get that nail checked out....

    LOL- turns out it's good. The guy went to pull it out and it fell out :eek:
    It was hardly in. They checked for a leak anyway, but it's good :Thumbsup:

    For a couple of days now, I could hear a slight uneven sound, coming from the front wheels at speed. Not a vibration exactly, just an annoying sound. Had the fronts re-balanced, one was fine, the other off 25. Now all is right with the world once again. :D
