We didn’t have too much trouble, lights went out on the shower and I couldn’t find my wet *** out of there haha. I also had a toilet quit working but today it’s back to normal? 
 

did you get the rolling blackouts? I’ve heard a lot of peoples heaters and water heaters wouldn’t turn back one when the power kicked back in. My moms did that but she had the manual and we somehow reset it

I truly appreciate it man. But we’re spending the time in Georgia with wife’s family. 

Welcome, just up the road in Jonesborough. I fish Watauga most, Boone during the week only during warm months because of pleasure traffic on weekends. Definitely takes getting used to these ultra deep lakes. 

Welcome, Paulie. There are a lot of Tennessee fishers who post at Bass Resource. The next time you're on the water, just yell "BASS RESOURCE!!!" as loud as you can and someone will hail you. 

Welcome to BR and to east TN! I'm an east Tennessean, currently in exile in south Arkansas.

Welcome to Bass Resources?

whenever I hear East Tennessee, I think of Kenny Chesney ?...... My wife's favorite.
