    Enjoy whatever you are interested in. Sleep late, wash clothes, get groceries, find good pizza, listen to podcasts, watch Netflix, read.

    Resets who takes them. I ain’t out here for my health. I’m out here to make money, who ever said money can’t buy everything has never been poor. It ain’t everything but sure makes life easier.

    Many moons ago, I delivered to a Walmart store with zero hours on my 70. I spied a motel with a pool next door and checked myself in after delivery.

    By evening, I ventured out for nourishment, and returned to my humble motel room afterwards to enjoy the pool.

    One fine day, my tractor a/c crapped out, and I needed to find lodging since ambient heat was an issue. I was nearly out of drive time and needed to stop for the night quickly.

    My only option was a $200 per night hotel that was close by.

    I enjoyed the pool, the breakfast buffet, slept on a memory foam mattress for the first time, and did some laundry. All on the company's dime. Western Express didn't like coughing up that $200, but they did finally reimburse me.

    What's the difference between a hotel and a motel?

    When possible I would do this over 2 days. I would park my rig in a safe location and go check in at a hotel. Many times I would watch football and enjoy a beer. Once back around 2003/2004 I was near Tucson AZ, parked my rig rented a car drove down to Tombstone enjoyed some quiet time, and got caught up on my sleep. My daughter wants to visit Tombstone. Good chance at some time the 4 of us can go. It would be nice to get out of Virginia and out there for a few days.
