It was still raining when I got up this morning. I am kind of bummed out because I wanted to go for a motorcycle ride today. Will it quit raining around 10:00 am but still looked like more rain. I made reservations for a campground in Pigeon Forge this morning. I have heard the campgrounds can fill up during the month of Oct in the Smoky Mountains. So now we don’t have to worry about that. We have decided to ride the motorcycle up to bowling Green tomorrow to the Corvette Factory for the tour. So I got on line to make my reservations and found out that they have to be made at least 9 days in advance. Well we are only going to be here for six more days and we already have reservations made in Pigeon Forge. So I sent them an e-mail as there wasn’t any number to call and told them that we were in the area for only a few days and wanted to do the factory tour tomorrow, thought it couldn’t hurt. We needed to make a Wal-Mart run for groceries and a few other things. Well when we got to Wal-Mart it wasn’t a Super Wal-Mart so that met not much in groceries. On the way back to the 5th wheel we stopped at a Saves a Lot to get the additional groceries. When we got home I checked my e-mail and had an e-mail from the Corvette Factory and told us to come up tomorrow for the tour. If you wanted to see one happy guy you should have seen the smile on my face. We have been looking for the book Sun Stand Still by Steven Furtick. I checked on line and found a Barnes and Noble book store about 13 miles away. I called them and they had the book and they set it aside for us. So I wrote down the address and plugged it into the GPS and took off. Well the address end up in a subdivision. Now what do we do, Cheri said check your phone call history and call them (she is so smart). I called them and asked them what their address was and we had it right. I told them where we were and they directed us to the store. The address was 300 Indian Lake Blvd. Well we went east and we should have gone west. The thing about it is there is no east or west Indian Lake Blvd. Well after much frustration on my part we got there and now have the book. In the process we passed a Super Wal-Mart (more frustration on my part). On the way home I was checking out the gas stations as I was getting low on diesel fuel. I had checked on Gas Buddy and found some in Nashville for $3.659 and everywhere else it was anywhere from $3.75 to $4.10. I am not driving down into Nashville to save a few cents. Well we found a gas station that had diesel for $3.699 and gas was priced low also, people also knew about as the all the pumps were busy and still busy when we left. By the time we got home it was too late to do anything else for the day. I got the grill out and gilled up some pork chops for supper.
