    Chick Fil A is delicious man. I don't too much go there, maybe 3 or 4 times yearly and that may be a stretch. I have the ones jotted down that are near spots where a truck can park. Being up there in the PNW, ya miss Zaxby's yet? I think that was your spot when you traveled east....or was it Bojangles?

    It was very surprising. I think I'll check in early if I ever go back there. It actually was a very easy ride, even after riding past 12. That was because i got there late in the evening. Once I got deep into Mississippi, the sky opened up on me. That rain was serious. It let up just before I got to Batesville. That Jarred fella called me this morning. There was trouble with getting me home for my doctor's appt. I had a feeling that may have been problematic given that it was on a Thursday. I was thinking about moving when he asked if I could get in early since I was going through Memphis. That was a no-go so I pushed it back to the same day the appt for the other doctor is. They gave me a Hershey load going back to Texas. It's going to McLane in Fort Worth. I can't remember if I've been there or not. It don't deliver til 10 Thursday night so if I had kept the appt, I would've missed the delivery. Everything worked out to perfection tho.

    That McLane in Fort Worth isn't the worst. They have overnight parking, but they're not the quickest. You can park, walk up and check in as soon as you show up, and then you'll get a call whenever they're ready for ya. I checked in 7 hours early last time. It's prepaid like the rest of Hershey loads, so they'll knock when they're done. If you don't mind a couple interruptions, you can basically get a full night's rest while delivering lol.

    You know, when I put into Google Maps, it said I visited there Feb 2022. I really couldn't remember that experience til I read my own review. Lol I leave reviews at various places as a form of note taking so I know what to expect. I never expect to get done quick at McLane if I'm taking candy there. Counting those thousands of cases can be time consuming.

    That Zaxby's is delish man. If I had ever ran across you in Memphis I would've taken you to one of the local wing spots there, called Jr's. That place may shift your thinking on chicken lol
