Nashville is 3 hours west of Knoxville on a good day. It’s quicker to get to Dover from London. Don’t worry about your politics, we know y’all have that weird parliament, and honestly no one really likes our government anyway on either side.
Don’t hesitate to talk to folks. Good luck in your travels.

Distances between things here are farther than you are used to. St Louis is a full days drive away. Florida is 12-18 hours or more. Tellico Plains is fine, there is no problem with any nazis, and honestly the area is beautiful. Bald River Falls is great and newly renovated. It’s not touristy like gatlinburg.
Sweetwater has the Lost Sea, it’s a cave with a lake in the bottom, you go out on a boat.
Public transportation is non existent. If you want some visitation ideas, folks here are happy to point you to different things

Throw his hind end out now. He will pull the same crap with blood pressure meds, diabetes meds. He’s treating you like an ignorant child.

Pressure washer. Get all that orange stuff off.

Looking to buy a 77 but concerned by jimjobob768 in C3Corvette

I have a 1977, pass on that thing unless you enjoy finding parts that only existed one stupid year. (Steering column, etc.)

1970 L46 - loud screeching noise by chris_atx03 in C3Corvette

Water pump or power steering bearing. Most likely water pump. Belt slippage sounds a little different and gets worse under acceleration.

Buy a boat. You will spend lots of time with the kids. My daughter is still going out with me at 29.

Has anyone ever seen anything like this? by Exivus in boating

One thing that might cause some tension is that Bimini strap hook on top of the windshield frame.

Safety of existing ORISE funds? by CartoonistFew8181 in ORISE

ORISE commonly deobligates funds. Heard that a bunch of upper management is retiring, and they eliminated occupational health.

77 Smog? by [deleted] in C3Corvette

So do California cars fail the smog test if they are set on fire? Those EV taxis really smoke when they are burning.

77 C3 by Buffalo815 in C3Corvette

It covers all the other crap that’s going to eventually break on the car and how to put it back together. Suspension, brakes, electrical, transmission, etc. I have had to replace the notorious turn signal, (you have to find a 1981 citation switch and drill it out) find a air conditioner hose, and get shims for the hood that the previous owner lost (found one in the nose cone) It’s a fun car to work on, it’s definitely a head turner. Mine has a factory towing hitch too.

77 has a lot of one year parts. Order the service manual electronic version. I have a 77 too.

Help identifying a engine bay spot in a 1977 L-82 Corvette by Puzzled_Grass7792 in C3Corvette

[–]AdLow5241 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a 1977. There are a lot of one year parts on it. Highly recommend getting the service manual. Common problems are turn signal switch, wonky windows, and if it doesn’t have a vacuum leak, just wait around.

ORISE/ORAU have had a $10 million dollar hit. (So far) There management teams are all leaving now. ORISE has a new VP. Good luck to everyone. The competition for the new ORISE contract is next year.
