    I was all set to hit the super slab, but the truck requested a parked regen so politely I couldn't refuse, however, it DID bring up the hint of a derate.

    So I'm drinking my coffee and waiting. Fortunately this load is a drop n hook with a flexible appointment time.

    The other night, my post trip revealed an indigenous tabby standing under my trailer axles. I greeted the little lady, finished my post trip, and went in the cab to get her some meat loaf, but when I returned she was gone.

    Regen continues. I gotta remember to remind the travel agent that I need to get by the shop so they can at least diag my APU so they can figure out if it's fixable. The idling is getting on my nerves. It took me awhile to get used to sleeping with an APU cycling on and off. Now I sleep better with the APU than idling.

    More coffee.....

    At Ft. Snelling national cemetery when we buried my father (in 1982) they had an option to have a ground level flower pot installed with the headstone (typical military white above ground headstone like you have seen hundreds of times in movies). Its basically a bronze pot with a lid and I guess when they mow someone comes through and removes the flowers and replaces the lid which allows them to mow over it.

    We are UP!!!!!!

    We began our stealth mission three(3) hours and seven(7) minutes ago, and have cleared the MEGA INDIGENOUS POPULATION CENTER in Tennessee.

    Stopped at an indigenous PEELOT for potty.

    The Orb is soon.

    Maybe carbon on the meats is good for removing toxins. Like activated charcoal, for poisoned victims.
