We spent the night in this fine establishment in Lenoir City, Tennessee. We were in town to hang with our buddy, Charlie Starr and to see his band, Blackberry Smoke at The Shed in Maryville. Good times and a great hang!

The door to our motel room was hard to open. We had to give it a really good push and when it would finally give way, it sounded like the door was being kicked in. When we got inside, we could see that the door had some damage. I’m guessing it was caused by being kicked in a few too many times.

That begs the question: How many time does a door have to be kicked in before it’s officially too many times?

We had breakfast at a place called Donna’s Diner and the pancakes were ridiculously big. They spilled out over the plate. Donna does not believe in small pancakes.

My buddy, Todd Fox and I are gonna get some more of those pancakes and then drive to Nashville. If you see two dirtbags stumbling around East Nashville in a pancake coma, that’ll be us. In the words of the great Nelson Wilbury, “Handle me with care.”
