What is JTEKT?

[kcvols1]

A company that I used to work for. Makes everything from power steering systems to ball bearings.

It’s all ball bearings these days...

We painted a house in downtown Sweetwater and the lady that owned the house gave everybody (about 5 of us) a pound of Benton's Bacon a piece, for a tip.

Every chef in Atlanta puts that stuff on their menu, and people around here think it’s hipster.

I always go 45 minutes out of my way to stop in Madisonville whenever I head to Knoxville from here, and it’s ALWAYS worth the drive. It’s all my UT kin down here ever want for Christmas. I’m currently sitting on a dwindling stash of undisclosed size, and need to make a run soon.

Did an internship there one summer while at UT. Factory is in Vonore TN. Beautiful area but a horrifying place to work as a twenty year old. An hour from anywhere...

Greenback > Vonore

Wonder how the General feels about the name of a Japanese company hanging in his stadium...asking for a friend.

Being from Monroe county I can vouch for this.
