Tom

Looks like you really know how to pack the maximum number of activities into a short period of time. By the time you get back to New Hampshire your gonna need to take a vacation from your vacation.....Also I gotta give credit where credit's due...You did a great job with the photo expo !!!! ::)

Thanks

Thanks Moose.  We had a great time and it was cool to meet John & Ray.  You're right I could use a vacation now but as Ray would say, busy busy!

I haven't been posting much this week as my wife and I are off seeing the USA.  We are in Nashville Tennessee for the week.  We took a road trip down to Memphis and visited Graceland.  It was worth the trip!  The trip through his home was great.  It is preserved like it was in the late seventies.  We got to see the Pink Cadillac he gave his mom in the Auto Museum.
We went to tour Sun Records Recording Studio where he and others recorded their first hits.  They had some of the old equipment they used back in the day.  I even got to hold the microphone that Elvis sang into.  Really cool!
Took a trip down Beale Street and had a beer at BB Kings Blues Club.  Great week so far.

No Elvis had left the building  :)  But we did stop at Antique Archeology (American Pickers) in the old Marathon Automobile Factory in Nashville.  Didn't see Frank or Mike but saw some cool old bikes and parts.

President of the Rusty Bowtie, That would be you Ed.  Didn't know you played golf.  Chopper only two vacations a year but I make the best of them!!!  When I get home tomorrow I put the bass boat in storage for the winter which gives me both stalls of the garage to work on the car.  Back to work on it on Sunday  :)

Seeing a different part of the USA in a Chevrolet.  This time my rental is a 2013 Camaro SS Convertible with a V8.  First place we checked out was Roswell NM.  Had to see if there were any aliens still hanging around.  We took in the UFO museum and visited the former Air Force base where the government allegedly took what it found at the crash site. Check out the street lamps from downtown.  Heading north from here.
