I promise not to marry this one in three months....

I had quite a week at work last week. Friday night, I had just had enough, it was 5:05 pm and time to head for home. One of the ladies I work with was walking thru my area and I said "Hey - if you aren't busy tonight or tomorrow night, I think we should go get some dinner together".

Well, much to my surprise, she agreeed - so I picked her up at her home yesterday at 4:30 and we headed for "Pappy's on the River" just south of Blairsvillle, GA. This means, we went up over Blood Mountain - I ran it but not hard, since I had no idea what the LEO presence was. Turns out, two GSP officers were near the top.

We had a good dinner, talked WAY too much about work - and headed home. As we got down the south face of Blood Mountain, I turned to her and said, "I'ts only 8pm - and there are no LEOs nor is there much traffic, you thinking what I'm thinking????"

She said, "Yes"... I spun the car around and we ran it HOT back north, turned around and ran it hot again coming south!!! The tires are about shot on the car, I was sliding around curves more than I ever have (trying to impress her)...

Now, gotta tell ya, I've run Blood at 45mph and had people get woo-sy before. This time, I hit 80 in places ... Lori took it in stride. She says she drives her miniSUV like a sports car, but even so, the right seat is hard on some of us. Not her!

I THINK I have a new friend for y'all to meet this October.
