This is the first day of the actual Power Tour--thousands of classic cars, muscle cars, unique cars driving half way across the country. First leg: Charlotte to Knoxville, by way of Chimney Rock. Steve had a lot of fun driving in the winding roads of the Smokies. However, had some issues on way to Lake Lure. Dipstick holder broke. A very kind man, Patrick, helped out. Let us pull in his driveway. He helped Steve work on it and run all over the county for parts. We are very grateful! After many hours of hard work and worry, Steve got us on the road again, and we were actually able to make it to Knoxville. Unfortunately, it didn't leave much chance to stop in the lovely little town of Lake Lure. Couldn't get many good pictures, ... read more

After being blessed with a comfortable stay in a nice Residence Inn suite,courtesy of free night from Marriott, and complementary hot breakfast, Steve wanted to find a hot rod performance parts store. Upon finding the local place in Columbus,IN, Steve was amazed to find out these gentlemen were the same ones who sold him his Tremec transmission over the internet. What an unbelievable coincidence, considering we just happened to pick Columbus as a place to stay our first night! Steve had a very nice visit with these new friends, Brad & father Keith. Keith was able to do some mechanical work Steve had wanted to do before the trip (replacing rockers). So, we got a later start, but got to Knoxville, TN, (Red Roof Inn-Strawberry Plains) in good time. We had a delicious supper at Puleo's ... read more

it is nearing the end of the day! and addiction is addiction no matter which way you slice it too much this too much that food beer sex etc. its all the same I think obviously:) since it is me talking (writing to the voice in my head) should I back it up with evidence? :) there must be something in the brain that says more more more a chemical reaction and your impulses are to respond to that chemical reaction with more more more then mindfulness training enters and you become the observer the watcher and the one who is aware of eating drinking sexing and you can see it is something outside of you just a behavior that can be undertaken or not involved in or not is that control? too? as I look ... read more

what is the path? more correctly, what is your chosen path? things, something to consider I could sit and listen to the crickets and be content even the hum of the interstate might lull me to sleep if I were tired that nap did me in did me good late night the night before news from the girl not good perhaps there is hope there is hope like the great Gatsby the hope he had two quotes from fitzgerald im glad its a girl. and i hope she'll be a fool-that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool. and no amount of fire or freshness can challenge what a man will store up in his ghostly heart. sounds right on to me! when does a girl become a woman? ... read more

Geo: 35.7142, -83.5103Thanks Congress for turning into a 2 hour drive from Asheville to Gatlinburg into a 6 hour drive. The roads through the National Park were closed. I am going to deduct a tank of gas off of my income tax return this year!We had a great drive anyway. The weather was beautiful. We are staying at a campground along a stream about 3 miles from downtown Gatlinburg. And, they have a shuttle that runs into town. So, heading into town for dinner!... read more

maybe it is those times when I do not have anything to say is the time I quit writing alas when will come such a day? like me granpa who among company never ran dry of words with his wet scotch in hand he was particularly greedy with words not to disparage but if you new papa you know he liked to talk and eat and indulge the pleasure sense he liked good company and he smiled when he saw you and was distant when you left as if he was sad you were going lying on his couch or bed near the end pale but happy and maybe a little worried why do I talk of him? because Dumplin often does with her ceremonies of pansies and lilies yellow lilies for papa so this is ... read more
