Default OK so I'm in TN with no bike

I'm here on business about to do some work on the Center Hill Dam. It took about 12 freakin hours to get here from PA in the company box truck loaded down with equipment.
I think I passed Trips exit on the way here with all the construction around it.
It's 2:25am my time, but its only 1:25 am here so at least I can gain an hour of sleep.

I donno all I know is I came down I-81 pretty much the whole trip, then hit I-40 and passed City of Lenoir. I'm only about 20 miles from Nashville now.
My boss really fucked up our hotel reservations. We should have been a few miles from Center Hill Dam....so they said if worse comes to worse then find a hotel in Lebanon....well my boss thought he got a comfort inn in Lebanon and last night at 1:30 am he said were are we staying...so I told him Sleep inn and its about 50 minutes from the job site.

The shitty thing is the other people are staying in a 3 or 4 story log cabin house fully decked out with the granite counter tops and everything that they rented out for 2 years while this project is going on. Next time I come down here for this job....I staying in the fuckin cabin!

Oh and there was no room in the truck for my bike....we had it fully loaded with control panels and equipment.

Yeah, you went the other way on 40, you keep coming down 75 to get to my exit.

sux bro. I didn't get a lot of free time here in UT, but I'm damn glad I spent almost $400 in gas to get my bike here.
Around 700 miles on the bike in the random canyons

I've been here several times with the bike, but just being here on business and not having my bike here just feels so wrong.
I keep trying to think of a way to get the bike here on the next business trip here, I just don't know how to accomplish that one yet.
