I woke early and was killing time when Sue said she was awake and lets get going. No sense sitting in a cabin with only ABC and CBS for two days if we can't go out. We left at 5am and dodged limbs for quite a while. We had rain up to Nashville and I drove way on the cautious side as the standing water on the road made for a lot of spray. Hit Nashville about 2:30 and blew threw before the traffic got bad. Sue had put several pieces of driftwood in the Jeep, sand and all. Sand had sand fleas and they ate my legs. Stopped early at Clarksville, Tennessee and ate "Uncle Buck's". Really good chicken. Not only tasted really good but if the service was any quicker the food would have been served before we ordered. 2 piece dinner was a thigh bigger than most breasts, a huge breast, more fries than even I could eat, beans, hush puppies and slaw for $5.49. I woke way early and Sue perked up at 3:30, I think she was missing her dogs. We hit the road to more rain at 4am. Caught a semi running 65 and rode behind him about 5 seconds behind. Daylight found us in Illinois and I got on the go pedal. Rain quit and we got going. Sue likes Shell stations to bathroom in and pointed out a Shell sign. I pulled off and she didn't have to go. WOMEN!!! Got home at 10am. Bingo, here comes her order of water plants. They can't go out until May so my computer room is full of 5 gallon buckets. I saw where you had plenty of unfortunate weather. You and Colleen ok? Twisters and lightning, bad medicine. No gators, hungry or not so Colleen can wear red up here. I was kinda hoping to see you do a Tarzan with that big gator towards the end of the ride. You could have gotten a pair of real alligator boots with a story. I did say you and not me, I'm a coward.
