Woke up today to cold weather again.. really cold.  Got gas ($1.51/gal) and decided to check the tire pressure again..   tires were a bit low so addeded some air when one of the valve stems BROKE from the cold and the left front tire went FLAT.   Luckily we were at the truck stop and they called a tire repair service and they came right out.  Put us about 1 hour behind schedule but the guys at Sanders Tire Service were quick, friendly and didn't gouge us in pricing, even though it was a Sunday morning.  Thanks Guys!

Then off to Nashville, TN, arriving just after noon.    Did a quick pit stop at a Camping World to pick up few supplies (even got a tongue wheel for trailer Jim and Etay). 

After the quick stop we went to Opryland and toured the hotel and decided to take in a show.   Jerry at the info desk was very friendly and told us he would give us a discount on the tickets to the Rockettes Christmas show and told us where to grab a quick lunch.  After eating lunch we went back to get the tix and Jerry was on break.  The girl replacing him said she "Didn't know anything about discounted tix and if we wanted a discount, we would have to wait for Jerry"..   not very nice at all.   Decided to go to the revolving bar in the atrium and wait for Jerry to return.  When he did, he gave us the tix for Buy One Get One Free.. cool, saves us almost $70.  

Walked over to the Grand Ole Opry and saw the Rockettes show which was pretty good.   Afterwards we had to walk back to the RV which was about a mile away (big hotel / resort complex).. problem was  the temperature was now about 20 degrees, way way colder than when we went into the show.   We almost froze to death walking that mile!

After getting back to the RV and warming up for a few minutes, we headed east again to Knoxville for the night.   Stopped at Cracker Barrel for a nice dinner then off to another Flying J for the night.

Got gas ($1.51/gal) and now are preparing for another cold night (low of 10 degrees).
