    Here's my rant! My layover hotel is where all the noob Swift,Central, and CR England school guys go. About 50+ students a night stay here. How about you respect the ppl around the hotel and stop walking around barefoot, looking like you just rolled out of bed, yelling and playing music loud like your at home, and ####!

    Bet you didn't even have any hot dogs or marshmallows with you, either. . .

    So tell us more, were you loaded, what happened, you know the REST OF THE STORY as Paul Harvey used to say. . .

    I could live with them walking around barefoot and looking like they just rolled out of bed. However, the yelling and loud music would have to go if I'm trying to sleep. See how loud their boombox plays when it is in a toilet. . .

    @Radman: Yes, brakes overheated. I am not qualified to give a professional opinion on what caused it, but personally, I think I had my quick release valve get stuck in the open position. In the minutes leading up to the fire, I had a serious air leak. There was nowhere to pull over safely so I pushed it another four miles to an abandoned weigh station down the road. All the tires were perfectly intact, just the drum was on fire. Guessing the pads made enough contact to heat up, but not enough to cause my wheels to lock up. I was hauling a trailer full of tires, another driver that was nearby let me borrow his extinguisher as well, this bought me enough time to control the fire until the fire department showed up.

    @Don: What a is a "boombox"?

    Whoa... What does it do? Is it like an MP3 player? WiFi capability? Does it backup my vacation photos?

    Just kidding, I don't go on vacation.

    I named my MP3 player to "The Titanic". Every time I hook it up to my computer it says "The Titanic is syncing"

    Yeah, I didn't think you heated them up. You've been running that lane for a minute. You know all the grades. Good thing your alright.
