    Rocks,

    You are probably best off in the service plaza..

    Not much for truck stops up there other than a really small Pilot at 90 and 81 or the old Don Elliott's off 690..Both are Syracuse area....Turning Stone casino is another option and used to be really truck friendly not sure about now...I think the casino is x-33 off 90 ???? Been a while since I've been up there.

    Yeah we Americans (or just me) are to lazy to put that much effort in a salad.
    Got to admit most are way to bland.

    "cooked" in an American buffet... I couldn't eat it... :biggrin_25512: They didn't remove the core... didn't peal it off and didn't season it with anything.... :biggrin_2552: I guess they had never cooked that before...:biggrin_25523:

    I honestly don't think you can beat an excellent steak, served with an excellent salad. You don't need anything else!

    Well, I come from Colorado, and folks don't seem to know how to spice up a salad there either. Or in California, or in Arizona, or in Utah, maybe in New Mexico, though. . .

    For one thing, to make a good salad, you need good ingredients. I'm sorry, but lettuce just don't cut it for a salad. Even for a Caesar Salad.

    Lots of different stuff! Greens, reds, yellows, whites, blacks, and then spices and a good home made dressing!:yes2557: The more variety the better!
     
    Rocks and tsavory Thank this.

    Sheesh!. I got Dads drum delivered just fine.
    He had called on the way in. I ended up agreeing to do SDV to KLM. it was 3 crates with 2 Hazmat & 1 not. I wasn't thrilled with the paperwork but I took it.
    And got rejected for the same error as the other day.
    He had called about a pickup at United goodness Nguyen to Hwy 6.
    Spent 1.75 hours at United and didn't get it.
    Dropped the rejected back at SDV and headed for the office.
    The Gas Dodge wasn't there. Put the stuff I needed from my truck into the mechanics truck. And we went where the truck is. And it wasn't empty.
    There is a tractor on the property to get the pallet off. But as we discovered the tractor battery wasn't going to start it Roland demanded that we come back and I take my truck and run.

    So I put my stuff back into my truck and went to get 8 cartons of printed stuff going down off Almeda Rd (old 288). Then fought the west loop getting to Sumner where I found out it was a round trip to Houston Heat Treat (dang it). Got empty at 5:30. Did some paperwork and rolled 5:45. Took until 7:30 to get from there to home.

    The mechanic texted the the gasser is at the office. Betcha SOMETHING keeps me from getting it....
