today's destination is Clarksville RV Park in Clarksville, TN .... per Google Maps doing so should take just over 4 hours to cover under 300 miles .... per the forecast, no chance of rain but plenty of high temps .... we hope to be on the road by 9AM but with a short day, that's not an issue

Guess I never knew that there life spans are so short. What brand are you having issues with NorCold or Dometic?

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

per Google Maps, 353 mile drive from Clarksville, TN to Swannanoa, NC on tap for today .... for the first time in many moons we are headed back to the Eastern Time Zone .... our last fuel stop for this trip should be at a truckstop on I-40 located just before we cross back into NC .... with its high fuel taxes, we make it a practice take fill our tanks prior to crossing back into NC ....

sometimes you get lucky .... a car sideswiped our truck during today's drive .... as best I can remember we were in Nashville driving a section where I-24 and 40 run together .... 4 east bound lanes .... the left two lanes were closed, looked to me like they had just been paved .... a row of barrels separated then from the right two lanes .... I was driving in the lane near the barrels .... all of a sudden a red SUV flashed by below my window and I heard a ripping sound, I was pretty sure he'd hit us but didn't feel anything .... absolutely no clue where he came from but he had to have hit some barrels .... I hit the horn as he vaulted ahead into our lane and took off .... I didn't get a good look at his car and he really took off, no way I could have caught him .... later at a rest area I looked and found the following .... first picture, our passenger's side front tire .... the rest show the driver's side front tire with the lug nut covers baby moon hub cap ripped off .... he also hammered that tire's pressure sensor .... I'd sure have liked to see the damage to his vehicle
