It's been one of those weekend so far...

First I had to meet a customer in Covington, KY around 3:30pm on Thursday...
bad planning on my part, customer was late and after the meeting it took me over 2 hours to
get home due to Barack Obama speaking in downtown Cincinnati.

As I was driving on 75 and before passing my home exit the wife called and said she wanted to
go with me now. So I drove by the house unpacked the truck into her car and off we went.

Next we stopped by a Shell Gas station to fill up before heading to Paducah. Earlier in the day I'd purchased a Shell gift
card at Kroger's so my wife could get double point for me purchasing this card. Back to the Gas now...
The card didn't work so I went inside to see the cashier. They informed me their system was being updated so I paid with my credit card and
off I went.

So I jumped back up on I75 heading south to I71 and wouldn't you know it the traffic is backed up for miles due to construction on I71 - Down to one lane for 12 miles.
Well 2+ hours after leaving home and now on I71 towards Louisville, KY my wife said that she was hungry. Good Thing!!!

Stopped at McDonald's and it was at that time I realized that I left my wallet back at the Gas station in Florence, Ky (53 miles away)
Turned around and headed back to retrieve my wallet.

Hauled some serious butt back to the station and off again we went.

Made it to Leitchfield, KY that night and while talking to Sonny on the phone I was done for the night.
Got a motel room and spent the night.

Well we hit the bed and about 20 minutes into a sleep my cell rings :o and it's Pat - after talking to him for a few minutes
I went back to sleep. Ring-ring...it's Sonny 10 minutes later.  :o

Finally a little rest and we load up the car --- now the wifey has lost her cell phone... what next.

Well I'll tell ya'...................

I had a great time with some great, great people.
I meet Sonny, Pat, Larry and Hal...the latter three also had brought their wives.

Love these guys!

My wife and I had to leave on the same day as arrival due to a friend of ours competing at Owensboro, KY - Grillin & Chillin BBQ
We left there and drove for about 3 hours and once we arrived I dropped Cathy, my wife, off at the Marriott in Owensboro and drove to the camp grounds.
Tom was beside himself when I arrived, hopefully not at me, but it was now raining cats and dogs and Tom didn't get his spot and we were standing in about 2-3" of water the whole night.

That was it for Tom, by 3am he had loaded up and left the camp grounds. Should have been 43 teams for the comp and 3 teams left.

Drove back to pick my wife up and we were going to go back to Paducah and surprise everyone. Heading down 431 to Central City "Ring-ring...it's the motel that we stayed
on Thursday night and they found my wife's phone. We then drove back and picked it up and headed home.

What a weekend so far.............................

Mark, you'd better go back to work tomorrow to relax!

[SouthernSmoked]

Pat you are correct...Monday can't get here soon enough!

Today I've got one more possibility of headache - with the Bengals-Niners in town.

I hate to think about going but.....................

[KyNola]

What an ordeal.

[Tenpoint5]

Wow what a weekend Mark!!
