Murray, KY > Nashville, TN

I realized last night that I didn’t bring my cell charger on this trip. What angers me is that as I was leaving the house, I looked at it and said to myself, “I have two, that one stays here”

WRONG!

I have 2 camera chargers!

See, three weeks of not traveling ruins my brain.

Our portion of BracketBuster Saturday went well. Graphically, it was a struggle with my newbie AP, but she was sweet, so that made up for all she didn’t know about basketball.

I had looked up a Sprint Store online and there was allegedly one only a couple miles away. So after the game I put the address in Linda and set out on my quest.

Never found the place, but found a Radio Shack – they had one of those universal ones that has a changeable tip so it works with almost any phone. I got the car version since I don’t have one of those.

Made it back to Nashville in the late afternoon. Got settled in my room, put a load of laundry in and then sat down to work on the blog…. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! No power supply for my laptop! I left it on the TV truck! This is not my weekend!

Went down to the front desk inquiring about a Radio Shack. They showed me on a map that there were several within 10 miles. The closest one was at Opryland – when I asked what it was, you would of thought I had asked what the White House was. The guy working the desk almost fainted – “It’s a destination!....” He rattled off all the things to do there in his southern accent – he reminded me a lot of that American Idol guy – Clay Aiken.

Anyway, the reason I asked was because I had a lot to do and didn’t want to try to find a Radio Shack in a mall that had hundreds of stores.

And good thing I didn’t plan on it because the exit for Opryland was backed up for a good mile.

So I went to one of the other ones.

No longer there.

Then headed towards the next one. Hmm… this doesn’t seem to be the best neighborhood. Linda, where are you taking me?

Oooh – there it is!

The entire time I was inside, I was fearing for my life.

But was able to find a power supply and made the guy open it and confirm that it indeed powered my laptop.

I quickly got out of there and back to the hotel!

Put my laundry in the dryer and started another load.

What an eventful day!
It’s been years since I have been to a Radio Shack; today I went to two in 2 different states!

Am bummed about the laptop power supply though – all these years I have been so proud of myself for never leaving it behind.

I did a little research and sent an email to the truck company; hoping it would eventually be found.

Got my laundry out of the dryer and went to bed.
