Please be safe.
Your trip (while cut shorter) seems to be amazing anyway.

Thats what I said when I tried the "exotic" jerky package only to find out its still mostly beef but with a small amount of whatever else.
The Brazilian steakhouse is great! Did they bring the meat right to your table and slice off for you?
They sure did Ray.... and as long as you forget to turn the table marker to Red, they keep coming! I had pork rib, mignon wrapped in bacon, supurb chicken teriyaki and topsirloin on my plate at once.
Thanks C, we are very fortunate on this trip that we were able to dance around the storms more or less without impacting our trip very much but it also helped that we had no "cast in stone" components once MS Sully was safely home with Ray.

After you bringing up Brazilian steak house. I will definitely be going soon.
Glad your trip has been good.
Here is a picture just sent to me.
My 2 granddaughters Evelynn and Nora. This is before we left the dock. When we fished the youth tournament. When Rose and I were in Michigan a few months ago.

Morning guys....
We crossed a bridge yesterday morning in Gatlinburg then we went to Dollywood in the afternoon.
we got back to our hotel at 10....and none too early for my knee let me tell you! LOL
it was a lot of walking but it was a blast. Last time we were here in '17 or '18, I lost our car key in the park! This time it was nice to crawl into the car to head back to our room this time
We talked last night and we have decided to head home today. We both miss The Nook and Kerry caught me looking at pics of Big Matt last night. It's time.
Enjoy the morning.....

what a nice surprise!

Glad that area must not have been hit hard from the storm. My parents lived just over the mountains from Gatlinburg. A little town called Maggie Valley NC. Saw on the news they were hit pretty bad.
Glad you both had fun!
We made it almost to the Bay Bridge near home. 525 miles or near so. We took Rt66 around DC....ALL OF IT was very heavy and lots of stop & go....50 miles of it. There was an accident or stupid maintenance on the Bay bridge and it was a 3.5hr 11 mile backup so we bailed and are spending the night in Annapolis. We weren't capable of dealing with it!
The best laid plans....LOL
Tomorrow, tomorrow.....

Tomorrow, tomorrow.....
We got home just before sunrise. WHEW!
It will take a few days to internalize and digest the adventure that we were very fortunate to be able to enjoy, but it's good to be home some 4,000 miles cavorting with my sweetheart.
We met some very special people like the guy with a crosseye at Graceland who asked me if I ever met Elvis. We saw him later and said "hi" & he told us he had a great time until he had hit his head on something.
It took restraint when EVERY brain cell was screaming " wow, you sure did, you know your eye is wonky?" but Kerry sensed it coming and led with a preemptive arm-squeeze! LOL
We also got a chance to meet Mark and his beautiful wife who is 80 miles away and Ray in Florida....so we also got to meet some normal people too!
A few cool animals too...Sully and Opo...each on his or her own merits is a spectacular example of a Sulc. Together...it must amazing for you Ray. I don't usually have a reason to get jealous of anyone but this nags me a little. I could be jealous of that experience brother.
The only other turtle we saw outside of the water turtles was a box turtle on the white line....of Rt 81 while driving 85mph. Sorry guy, hope you make it back. We didn't see too much cool wildlife but we did meet a couple of educated Crows at a couple of gas stations. They talked with you to get food! Cool.
The wildest thing was yesterday driving out of Tennessee, a BEAR had been dancing in traffic...it was dead but the whole bear head was undamaged and very fresh. WOW! Holy Mollie...how many bears have to be there before they begin getting hit?
We began our "lessons learned" discussion yesterday and how the car we selected worked on the road.
#1 lesson learned- Avoid at ALL COSTS driving in the Annapolis-DC-FAIRFAX corridor.
Lol

That's a peculiar way to describe it. Is there a new souvenir hanging on your wall?
Wow, Kerry and you must of had a blast. It was great meeting Kerry and you. I am so thankful for you delivering Ms.Sully and the other gift to me.(can't remember if I can mention the gift)
That bear you were talking about has me confused.
Roadkill?
Yup, the bear was roadkill.
The surprise at seeing a bear probably caused the odd description C. We don't mount trophies here as they reflect past peaks in life, not the current one!
Ray, you can talk all you want about your bike. We want you to be happy with it all! That's the whole goal!
For everyone else....Kerry and I dropped off a vintage motorcycle in need of restoration for Ray and the signed Title.
We also included a bin of very high quality original replacement tank, sidecovers, forks ears currated from eBay over the years and a box of old and used tools so he can at least, begin to "putter" with it.
We put all that stuff in Rays garage then we ran away before he could realize all the stuff he had.
It's perfect....i needed the space, you had the interest and space. I don't envy any part of what it takes for you to mess with it all but my respect for you as a human being is unparalleled, period. Dealt your cards, I wouldn't come close...and few would.
I do think that I'm the one who really lucked out though. Think about it....for the cost of a single night at a hotel, we got the experience of a lifetime.
Ray, your bike was the 4th I've given away in as many years....it wasn't the first....but it was damn sure was the most fun! I am thankful for the opportunity life gave me....im glad I didn't hesitate!
Actually since the deluge on Sunday it's not been a bad week here, just a bit windy on times. I've taken the opportunity to do some garden work so been quite busy. Hope the weather improved for you.
