Wife and I are leaving in a couple hours and heading to Nashville. We’re staying there for the night and going to Lane Motor Museum on Saturday before heading over to Knoxville to pick up our new dog.

It’s gonna be a long trip (we’re coming back Saturday night) but it will be nice to get out of here for a couple of days. We’re both looking for to Lane since she’s never been. Expect pictures of the museum and new doggy next week!

Update: So it is snowing in Nashville right now. Looks like we may run into some freezing rain/sleet on the way up. Nothing I haven’t seen before, but still going to be interesting. I’ll update once we get there to confirm we made it. I know for some of you 1-3 inches is nothing, but it is for us southerners, so definitely going to be careful!

It would have to be a better doggo than any on oppo, for me too drive that far for it.

Haha yeah. We drove to Missouri last year to get our Bassett Bound. He has been great. This one is a Bassett Beagle mix. We’re adopting it through an organization called Belly Rubs. They help find homes for pets that have been neglected/abused. It’s for a good cause so it’s worth it.

Yeah I’ve been keeping track of the weather. They keep going back and forth with it. I’ve had the room booked and off days set for a month now though.

Well if it does, hopefully the roads aren’t too bad.

Yeah I have been keeping up with it. May go a different way if AL ends up getting a lot. Thanks for looking out though.

Yeah hopefully not. We will be up there by around 4-5. If AL looks iffy we can always take an alternate route. Thanks for looking out!

My parents have been stuck for a half hour trying to get to our shop 11 minutes away. By the time you get here it might bdvclear but we’re in apocalypse mode right now.

And as per usual

Me: don’t leave the house if you don’t have to. It’s not worth wrecking the car.

Also me: no. Go goon in the snow. Snowduts for days. Do it.

New dog yea! I just moved to LA for a few months and my roommate has two very well behaved dogs, which is great because I can enjoy all the benefits of dog ownership without actually being responsible for it :)

Indeed! She’s gonna be a lazy dog like our other Bassett is. He’s 11 and she is 7 so they’ve earned it.

Once you get there, you’ll have to turn the DSC off and give the diff a workout!

Just a tad behind, my friend. We went up there last month.

That’s stupid Kinja for ya. It wasn’t too bad up there when we went, so no hooning was done unfortunately.
