I see there were yankee snowbirds even in the 1800’s.

Apparently the bees aren't very happy with the lack of flowers at my house and sent a representative to ring my doorbell

Waiting on AAA. Guessing the CP4 fuel pump has left the chat. At least it held on long enough to get me off interstate.

Had to wait 2 hours on a tow truck, but it’s now at the dealer and I’m finally home. Damn long commute today!

Another interesting map. (FB is bombing my feed with maps the past couple of days.)
Map Of All Sunken Japanese Navy Ships During WWII. IJN lost over half of their ships, 334 warships in total
(I think they're incorrect in saying "all" ships are represented on the map, but probably a very large percentage of them. Well, maybe, if you could zoom out on original source map.)

Got a load of YJ's to take to @spraypaintman this afternoon. And just for future reference, 2 YJ's will fit on a 24ft trailer...barely.

Made it home in time to catch the angles doing passes. They don’t show up on Flight Tracker App.

Took a road trip today to pick up some jeep parts. Made the mistake of taking I-40 westbound through the Pigeon River Gorge. I expected some delays, maybe 10-15 minutes, but traffic was actually great until about 2 miles from where it goes back to 4 lanes and then came to a COMPLETE. STOP. FOR 2 FULL HOURS. 
Based on what I gathered from the couples of cars moving slowly and eventually stopped on the eastbound side (yes, eastbound came to a complete stop too for the last 30 minutes I was there), a dump truck had a flat tire, and instead of limping along and getting out of the way, he decided to block up the single lane interstate. After about an hour, I hopped out, crossed the eastbound lanes, and check out the Helene damage from the river.
As you can see, I’m standing on what used to be the left hand eastbound lane. The right hand lane and emergency lane and any shoulder that used to be there is gone, washed somewhere out to middle Tennessee.
I can’t even imagine how much water it took to do this.
Once we finally got moving again, a mile or three later, I saw this section that really gave some perspective on the scale of damage.
Absolutely humbling how powerful the storm was, how much has been done, and how much is left to do.
Once I finally got off 40, had a beautiful drive through middle of nowhere mountains and hills and fields of Tennessee. And the Bush’s baked bean factory with their sweetass water tower
Got the goods, and had an uneventful drive home. Except I skipped the gorge on i40 and took 129 instead. Yes, that 129, Deals Gap, Tail of the Dragon. In my Ram 2500 with a pair of axles in the bed. Best (and most disappointing) part is that I ran the length of it and not a single car or bike caught up to me. Ol truck was railing, and I actually caught and got stuck behind a guy on a BMW sport tourer that thought he was going pretty fast haha. Can’t wait to see the photos online from the Dragon photographers.
Also tried to run my truck out of fuel to get cheap diesel in Morganton, but even at 40 miles past “zero” it still only took 29.5 gallons in a 31 gallon tank.
And saw something interesting. Big pile of debris and mulch in Swannanoa this morning. Big fire this afternoon when I came back through.
Overall an eventful and productive day.
