I didn't know about this! I sure hope she's improving. Keep us up on it!

I am sorry to hear all that, Spike. That is frustrating and annoying.

Forgot to mention the wife's surgery Monday went well. Hopefully she heals up great and we can get back to living a full adventurous life again.

Sounds like that place is being run by Boss Hogg or some third world dictator. I don't blame you for wanting out of there Spike.

So yesterday got this ridiculous note on our door, everyone else in the complex did too, I figured we'd get something this week because the complex next door had a fire over the weekend. But imo this goes to far. There's a few people that feed the stray cats and some that put bird feeders up. So in the note it said unless those people stop they will be charged a pet fee. It doesn't end there either. Grille's are now basically banned, they didn't go so far as to say that but you have to have the grill 10 feet from any structure now instead of on your patio. In the building I live in that basically means grilling in the middle of the parking lot. Here's the best one... All curtains have to be white, any other color and you will get a lease violation fine. That's funny because I went through the last lease we signed in February and there's not a thing about only having white curtains. This note was the last straw for our next door neighbor, she told us last night that she's breaking her lease and moving out as soon as she finds another place to live as I'm sure several others are also contemplating it. I'm hoping my wife heals up fast and gets back to work so we can get the heck out of here too as this is the last straw for me too.

Reminds me of the mushroom that gives you a boost in Mario Kart or the time Cletus had the NOS system.

Back at the Boar's Nest, Garrett remains crouched down behind a large leafy bush with a mouth full of parking lot dust as the law finally drives away. After they are out of sight, Garrett stands up, spitting out the dry dust and glancing around a long moment before he steps out from under the bush. As he does so, he sees Roy's truck back out and quickly pulls up alongside of him. Garrett sighs a sigh of relief before throwing open the door and climbing in. Closing the door, he turns to Roy and says, "I thought I told you to leave." Roy shrugs. "You can even ask my ma, I've never been good at listening," he grins crazily, "I bet you're glad of that now." "If you say so," Garrett dryly responds, refusing to show any emotion. "Anyway, I stayed in my truck and waited to see when y'all would come out to see if you needed any help. But lo and behold, you took the coward's way out and hid," Roy states as they leave the parking lot, "which just left me to wait until you decided to brave enough to reappear." "I ain't no coward," Garrett hisses, "it was either go to jail, fight the law and add more charges onto their fake charges of me, or to get out of there. I chose to get out." "I know, I know. I just wanted to get a rise out of you," Roy smiles smugly and looks over at Garrett, "and it worked." "Just drive," Garrett states as he sinks down into his seat. "Where to?" Roy asks. "I don't -" Garrett starts to say before he spots the sheriff's car up ahead turning off onto another dirt road, "follow the sheriff at a distance. Don't let him spot you. He spots us, we are both going to jail." "Woo hoo a car chase!" Roy laughs crazily, "A slow car chase, but hey...it's still a car chase!" Garrett eyes him before he lights up another cigarette. "I'm glad you're excited about it," he dryly states, "I'm just hoping they'll lead us to something or somewhere seeing as how we got pulled into this mess and then left out to dry." Roy nods. "Maybe Bo and Luke kidnapped Bill and Ernie!" he says with excitement in his voice as he slowly turns where the sheriff had turned, "That's why they weren't at the Boar's Nest as we had been expecting! Ooooo they gonna be in trouble!" "So will we if we get caught," Garrett states blowing out smoke, "don't let him see us." "Ten four grumpo," Roy responds, "but what you think Bo and Luke are doing to Bill and Ernie? Poor Bill and Ernie." Garrett just rolls his eyes and stares out the window.

I am glad your wife's surgery went well. I hope she recovers well.

I went through that when I had my Ninja. Young men in cars see you are on something that looks fast and want to challenge you. It reminds me of that Waylon quote "If any of y'all ever drive through Hazzard, well you might remember that if it's got wheels, folks tend to want to race it." (Mrs. Daisy Hogg)

In the last couple years, I’ve been replicating the interior of the Boar’s Nest at Cooter’s in Pigeon Forge. The bar area is done and the rest will be completed in the near future. I’ve put pictures up here: https://www.flickr.com/gp/10867551@N00/1v6Y9c7N34

Certainly feels like it Roger. It's so ridiculous. And the motto on the sign at the end of the driveway is "Make it your Home" . I almost bought a bottle of Roundup last night to spray on our flower beds but the voice in me said no because gardening is one of my stress relievers. But if we get another note after I clean up the patio this weekend scorched earth is what they will get. Wonder how well it will go for the manager if they force the veteran to take his flag out of his window. Would love to be a fly on the wall if he chews out the manager lol. Also found out the reason for the notes. Some resident put nasty reviews about the complex on a bunch of sites last week complaining about almost everything the notes say need to change. It just takes one person to ruin it for everyone these days.
