Tennesse Adventure

What a wonderful and crazy week.  How did anyone ever live without the Internet and phones?  
WOW!  I didn't realize that I was addicted.  I missed you, so much.

But wait til you hear about parts of My week. Be aware, I'm speaking REAL southern slang today. 

First of all, We left yesterday to drive home so that I could work an 11p-7a shift.  We left in good time and were to arrive home around 8pm.  We got into Knoxville and stopped for food.  We heard a strange noise with My sister's car.  Lasted only a few seconds so we drove for about 30 minutes and stopped for fuel.  Well, by now the noise is much louder.  We opened the hood and knew there was an issue.  A sweet man came over and took a quick look and said that this sound was the cooling fan and it sounded loose. Maybe We lost a screw or it's loose.  He had no tools and knew no one that could fix it, but said We needed a mechanic before driving home.  NOT GOOD!  So here We are looking for a mechanic.  No one is open and if they are, it's too far for them to travel.  We called many roadside mechanics and left message after message.  To NO avail. 

So here We are in Sevierville, TN. deep into the mountains with no help in sight.  So to the hotel We go.  We continued calling every number that We could find that was attached to a mechanic.  Well, guess what? FINALLY We have a man who answers and speaks only DEEP SOUTHERN REDNECK---Nothing against rednecks, this describes a lot of My family.  Haha!  So anyway, in a language that We barely understood, he said he could not help but to drive down to exit 412 and turn right and somewhere there's a place where this "ole boy" (his words, not Mine) works all the time.  So, We get into the SUV  drive and got off on 412. There somewhere on the left were a couple of 18 wheel trucks.  So we pull in and see that the garage doors are open so We get out and walk around.  This place is like something out of a horror movie. I was listening for chainsaws.  But We hear a voice and see a flashlight shining.  So We walked toward the light and sure enough there was a mechanic and he was sitting in the engine of the big rig.  My sister says OMG can you help us and I said We really need help.  you know playing into two beautiful "Damsels in Distress".  Well, the mechanic says to us, YES Ma'am.  I'm about to do it here.  Just y’all wait for me.

So we went back to the vehicle to wait.  My crazy sister says, damn he's cute.  We just love a hard working man and I tell you, this man was covered in grease.  Yeah, funny right.  Like one of My pictures on My site, We laugh about greasy hand prints implanted on one's sexy butt.  Haha...Ok, We are sitting and waiting and this guy comes over and says "I gotta follow this trucker up the road. Y'all wait right here and then he asks, do y'all want anything from the convenient store?  Ok, so We say NO thanks. We’ll just sit here and wait and We are both thinking and hoping We are not gonna be hacked up while you're gone.

OMG, he left the garage door up, so I decided that surely there's a restroom in that building somewhere.  Well, after walking into the first 3 rooms I decided that I really don't have to pee that bad.  So back to the car and in about 20 minutes in the darkness with all kinds of lurking sounds, We hear his 1967 chevy truck, he's back.  He literally had the car repaired in 15 minutes. It was the cooling fan.  During the 15 minutes, he mentions that he had another business... big welding business and he had the contract to Dollywood until his wife ran off with his business partner.  Now this hunka greased up man is single and a hard worker.  He confirmed this with stories of his hard work and loss of women, cause he works too long.  Ok, so We are gonna pay him. He says NAW, y'all pretty ladies don't owe nothing.  Well, then he asks how often We travel through, says he's a single free agent and laughs...We think that he was flirting.  Well of course he was, anyway My sister insisted on sending him payment on paypal for his work and time.  Now anytime We have car trouble or "ANY KINDA NEEDS" We can stop right on in or call and he will be there in a flash.  Now that's a crazy story and 100% true.

The only thing I'm leaving out is that I snuck a couple of pics of this hard working man, just for My sister.  Well, We drove away and I'm sure he had hoped that We would use that number that he asked us to add to contacts just in case We needed anything. Oh and once We were back at the hotel I showed My sister the pics and she and he looked kinda like a couple...he was standing close to her and I think I saw a twinkle in his eyes as he looked at Me.  Don't worry, she's married and FAITHFUL...and as for Me, I have a hard working man already...YOU! 

By the time We were done We were ready for bed...so We grabbed a snack and crawled into those hotel sheets just like they were HOME.  We drove out and just arrived home.  WOW!  Wonderful week.  Lot's of memories.  

Oh just one more thing, My sisters were all at the lake together...We threw caution to the wind.  EVERYONE visited.  We had a blast.  BUT to make things a little more INSANE My sister Pamey drove home yesterday to find that her husband MOVED out and changed his phone number...took all of his clothing and personal items. Did NOT even leave her a note.  We are all in complete shock. Husbands! Who needs them. Hey, men won’t leave their Mistress. men always Love Honor and Obey Them.

Now, what do you think...glad to have Me home?

I'm HOME.  I'll be catching up now.  Well I work tonight 7p-7a.  So I'll rest some too.  But, by Sunday night I should be all caught up and ready for a wonderful week.

Kisses and LOVES

Thank you for all the LOVE and SUPPORT while I was away.  I needed that REBOOT!
