I now see why it takes so long to receive a letter USPS

Yeah that's why we were SO damn lost. We got off southbound I75 on Barret Parkway to eat at this damn good Mexican place called Chuy's which is right beside Costco. I saw a sign pointing to Hwy 41 pointing towards Barret when we exited. I wanted to get to 41 and avoid the traffic jam along 75. Because the trip up took twice as long since the slow ass traffic started in Jackson which is way before it usually gets backed up.
Anyway I asked the waitress if Barrett Parkway was 41 and was told that Cobb Parkway was actually 41 and to look for some damn whole foods at the corner of Barret and Cobb. About 20 miles later we were STILL on Barret with no signs of a damn Whole Foods or 41. And these damn Google powered phone GPSs act like 41 doesn't even exist.

At one point we were in the City of South Fulton and got led through the hood and industrial area. We eventually turned on Butner or some such street which took us by a scrap metal yard. Well scrap yards almost always have train tracks very close by. And guess what ... there was a ******* train right across the road we needed to be on and it was definitely not moving. By then my head is about to explode. Somehow we wound up in Luthersville. I only know that because I saw the water tower going into town. I believe it said something like "Town of Luthersville... You either live here or you're lost."
Eventually we made it to Barnesville where 341 starts . And 341 runs through Roberta (Methville) and then Ft Valley and eventually Perry. I stopped at the Barnesville Ingles got some Rolaids and Modelo and handed the keys to the wife. We SHOULD have been back in Perry around 4:00 PM but instead we got home at almost 9:00.

Wow! you obviously overshot Rte.41 big time as it's just over a mile west of Chuy's. Surprised you didn't end up in Alabama. Then again, you could have gotten directions from B Bypass and maybe done a little sippin' 'n trading . On the other hand it's not a good idea to get lost when you have a belly full of Tex Mex food, if you know what I mean. Cut the attached out or print it in case you get the urge to visit Chuy's again.
Great story .

Yeah at one point we were riding through yet another small town and I saw a sign for 85 South. So I got on quick as I could. I recall saying " Oh hell yeah! 85 South runs out into 75 South." Well...Not that particular 85 South. Before I knew what was going on I saw a county line sign for whatever county Newnan is in. So I stopped on this LONG boring country ass road and interrupted some deputy from running his speed trap. He told me I needed to go back the way I just came from until I saw Newnan Harley Davidson. By that time I really dreaded backtracking especially that far.
Oh since you mentioned Alabama...the last sign I saw on the so called "85 South" said we were like 15 miles from La Grange. I lost my **** and told the ol lady "I don't wanna go to ****in Alabama! And that's where we're headed."
There's plenty of cool looking little towns (including Newnan where I have delivered ammo cans before) and riding around that WAY outside the ATL area seeing those towns is cool. But when you been in a Corolla in the driver's seat since 9AM you ain't got the time or patience for none of that.
BTW...if any of y'all are in the Kennesaw area looking for something "fit to eat" as Jerry Clower used to say definitely check out Chuy's. It's different than the same old chips salsa and red rice Mexican places. You can't miss it either. It's the most colorful building at the I75 end of Barret Parkway. It's on a hill across from Target. That's good ass burritos right there. In fact it makes you wanna ask for a box and then go "No I'm finishing this one." That was a mistake. All I wanted to do was drink a quart of water, put my fat shorts on and lay down. But I had to keep on driving.

Not gonna lie, a gentleman I know said he gets $41hr working in a small post office doing VERY little. He’s pretty set as his job doesn’t require him to leave the office, just deal with customers at the front desk and help keep the place clean and running smooth…

Where do I go to get THAT gig?

We ain't the right pick for that job.......

Actually he’s a young grunt who just got out of the military within the last year or so. I’d guess he’s maybe 30 and his Harley is parked on the side of the post office…
