We made it to the lodge...where are all of you

Dropped the wife off at her workshop by the carwash area and then I washed all the bugs off...car looks much better.

Weather report for the day, beautiful! Expecting storms in the area for the weekend and Monday however...but mine's daily so we'll be driving around the area regardless.

Foliage report - sorry folks, but still very very green; there is a cold front moving in, but I don't think you'll see much change then.

Driving down after work yesterday we experienced a number of LEO's in IL before hitting our hotel in Cadiz KY; if you ever you go through that area and need a room, I don't recommend the Broadbent Inn and Suites.

Anyway, driving through TN was pretty good except some rush hour traffic in the morning near Nashville. There is some construction near Cookeville on Hwy 40 for about nine miles with night time closures, but the LEO's are watching with reduced speeds.

Dragon - not a lot of traffic today and it started out nicely but then I ended up behind someone in a Buick Lucerne...the slow group would be complaining about this. Finally after a couple of miles he pulled off to let me pass and I got lucky. They've recently added some more pull-offs from the looks of it. I think I started to get extra aggressive (for me), but the wife wasn't complaining. Everything was going great.....


Yes, you guessed right if you said LEO They were on the Dragon but I never crossed the yellow line... I'm at the last curve before hitting Cooper Straight and there they were...flagged me over just before the last big curve Crud Corner.

Came up to me and said he clocked me doing 46 in a 30! He says the governor has them up this way on a grant enforceing safety . Either way, he was a very nice CPL and let me off with a warning. I really think he was just thinking I was going fast because my XF is Red and knows it is the fastest color...plus he heard my exhaust.

So there you go, they seem to be keeping up the speeding tickets, so be careful!

I'll try to get back on from time to time to let you all know what is going on with the weather, leaves, and if the LEO activity is about the same.
