After making sure that it’s totally okay with Mom, and that my Dad will be with her, Chase and I are leaving in just a few minutes to go to the Fall Rod Run in Pigeon Forge. We went up to the one this past Spring, but even after going many times over the past 8 or 9 years, this will be the first Fall one that we’ve gone to. You hear different things about which is actually better, but regardless, it’ll be nice to get out of Dalton for a little while. We’ll be back home late tonight sometime, depending on if we get stuck in traffic again, and will hopefully have a much needed good time.

We had planned to go to Rod Run up in Pigeon Forge, TN this weekend, but 70% chance rain on Saturday has pretty much killed the plans. We’ve went the past 7 years and lucked out w/o it raining at all. But my guess is that when it gets rainy, everyone will pack up and leave because it actually starts on Thursday and lasts through Saturday. One of my buddies is betting that it won’t be dead, but my thoughts are you can’t really cruise the strip w/ it raining, and people aren’t going to be out walking around looking at cars w/ it raining.
Oh well, maybe we’ll make it to the one in the Fall or the next Spring one in ’09.
When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.
