Two weeks for the weather to swing our way. Read on another website that the leaves in NC mountains may be peaking around Halloween weekend. That would be nice!

Some of us are always in costume maybe more funny than scary. But our cars get all the attention, so it all evens out.

I put a new set of tires on the rear. With that, I should have NO tires issues (unless of course I run over a nail).

But, no fear Evan, I can fix that too.
Been tested, in the rain, at night, during a tornado.
If I was headed anywhere but The Dragon, (and Kell and Debbie's wedding) I would have turned around.
Hell I would have stayed, folded up in a fetal position, at a motel 6.

For those who are staying Sunday night at Fontana lodge...
I was informed today that the lodge will not be opening the restaurant on Monday morning for breakfast.They will however still be providing coffee.
They apologize for any inconvenience this may cause but wanted me to be able to relay this on to all who are staying on Sunday night.
