    Bingo. Normally my load but glad to let you have it. Scaled it twice. I had a near full tank if that helps. Good folks there at Sara Lee. But I can say that about all our customers.

    Stopped last night in Nevada, Missouri I 49 x101 @ the Pilot. Lucky I was able to find a spot to park just before 8pm, but will take it. Just adjacent is Buzz's steakhouse. Highly recommend it. Got the open faced Prime rib sandwich mashed taters and gravy and bbq baked beans. Dang was it good!
    Headed to Lafayette LA, but will probably come up a little short and will stay somewhere on I 49 within an hour from my drop. It will be a short putt early Monday to wrap it up.
    Any recommendations for TS/food. Getting a shower up here today so won't have to mess with one down there. Noticed a bunch of Mom and pops down there and haven't ever been below I 20. Getting some new territory with my new travel agent. Liking it, too. Different from same ol, same ol.

    He's not kidding. I've been there too. Don't remember what I got but it was delicious.

    Hold on tight because LA roads suck I-10 and I12 will beat the hell out of you. If you happen to venture off that way. Cajun food not bad.

    That would be cool to meet up if you're there. Hope your air leak isn't a big deal. I've got one on the secondary side of my air system that I can't find. UGH. I don't like air leaks. LOL

    Agree on the roads... someplace along there is a place called “In-Laws”... it’s mainly a butcher place but serves food too... there is a Loves or P/FJ right next door too so parking is easy. I always try to grab lunch there and take budan (sp) balls and their thick pork jerky like stuff to go... it has a name but it escapes me at the moment.

    Question for the KW Drivers amongst us...

    When I go to fuel my truck I sometimes have a problem with the drivers side tank. The fuel nozzle just won’t stay in place and will just literally fall out if it’s not held in place. Not all locations but more than enough to be concerned about it. It normally happens at TA but the last time I fueled was at a Loves... started fueling the left tank, walked around to start the right tank... came back around to the drivers side to wash the windshield and the darn hose fell out of the tank... fuel all over the place but it did shut off. And so I had to start over as that jacked up that transaction. So I started a new transaction but laid the drivers side nozzle on the ground to fuel the passenger side tank and then come back around to finish fueling so I could hold the nozzle. (Insert your jokes here... lol)

    it looks as if the lower fairing is too high and doesn’t allow the nozzle to wedge in to the tank to keep it in place.

    anyone else have this issue?

    the worst part... two transactions of 19 and 44 gallons means that I didn’t even get a free shower at my beloved Loves... LOL :D

    Bungee cord to hold it on maybe? You can get really short ones, like 1 foot long, I think.
