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.....
Ask a fat guy where to eat next time my thin friend. Sonny's BBQ in Corbin FTW. :drool Have a safe trip home!
Nothing today due to stupid sinuses but yesterday... drove the new Coupe (S/manual... the JCW was only to look at :frown5 and liked it! Then to our good friend and MINI tech, Ed's wedding!
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!!!
Ya'll need to deep fry it, splash some BBQ sauce on it, grab a cold beer and have at it..... Ahhhh, at the Fontana, I had the deep fried pickle chips with ranch dressing.... The next night I had the deep fried green tomatoes with ranch dressing... I know you guy's can deal with it..... By the way, the pickles and green tomatoes were really good....:cornut:
Let's see...changed the oil, swapped summer wheels and tires for the winter setup (man I hate the way the rib spokes look...), and washed it.
I'm about to add another 300 miles of Ohio back road driving fun to the odometer today. Salamander & the SE Ohio ring FTW...
Believe it or not Attaboy & I have decided to do some exploring for Riverrun 2013. Glad I have my rain tires on.
Hey Chuck, got the card! Thanks! We tried to find you for the rest of the weekend.... But you must have been in stealth mode sorry we missed ya! Left early Sunday for our 14 hour drive home :-( the drive was good, coming home was the sad part, lol.
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 It was hardly in. They checked for a leak anyway, but it's good
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. Jim
By the way.... When I said your MINI was the best looking one in the parking lot.... Mine was in the same parking lot, and I included it as well..... That's one sweet ride you have...
