    @Redtwin you should be fine that place gets overly packed so no worries if you spend the night just be careful plus I am sure your truck is a clean idle certified.

    Yeah it is clean idle certified but NJ tends to run by it's own rules so wasn't sure.

    I will be able to roll at 2am so hopefully things won't get too interesting before then. Hope I don't get boxed in either. I won't be sleeping much so will have to keep an eye out.

    Yep, great place!! 7 hours later I'm loaded. Another 30 minutes I can get my paperwork and roll. To about the end of the driveway with these hours .... LOL

    Only kidding. Should make Haw River NC before running out. Pick up enough tonight and roll after a 10 to drop this puppy in the yard.

    Then its shop, 34 (at least), sleep, biker bar maybe .... yada yada yada etc ... etc ...

    This is what you get to look forward to after 38 years of this. Grimmway Farms, Arvin Ca, first time here, 1985 then about 5 times since. The only good thing about this place is Rosalitas Cantina (roach coach). Nothing has changed since 1985. image.jpeg

    Taking dinner break at Loretta Lynn's Kitchen at exit 143 off of I-40. Pricey, but good eats.

    We got to stop and smell the V8, tire spinning, oil eating and pollutant belching roses today. It was GREAT pain relief. 20160826_133922.jpg 20160826_134534.jpg
