Good night from...

Russells Truck Stop in Endee, NM. First time ever here, and what a great place. Especially to old car museum and the 50's and 60' collection.

 

Cool. I lived in Oregon for 25 years total and loved it but after living in AZ I can't wait to leave Oregon now when I go through. All that depressing grayness and rain makes me want to off myself.

 

Come on now, Oregon is beautiful 3 to 4 days a year...

 

That is true, when it's nice it's hard to find better anywhere.

 

Flaggstaff, AZ. Glad that I have winter coat in truck. Have a feeling that it will be cold in the morning.

 

Newnan, GA. Figured I'd drive through ATL at 0300 instead of evening rush hour. Probably wise.

 

My Great Grandmother is buried in Klamath Falls. After spending a night at a truck stop there, I was giving some serious thought to the idea that digging her up and taking someplace else would be a blessing.

Petro in York, NE

 

Wow what a day. Started out nice, drove for a few hours felt like a shower and laundry so grabbed shower and laundry bag, ran in threw 1 load in washer, then washed my bod, then came out and put 2nd load in washer 1st load in dryer, then nice big fat sit down breakfast. Drive for a few more hours, Low Coolant and Check Engine. Uh Oh. GPS shows truck stop icon couple miles ahead, I think I can make it-- yep. Turns out to be a broken hose clamp, go in and buy a cheapo Chinese made one that barely fits, in fact I broke it when I tightened it. Got another one on there but didn't kill it this time.... Onroad says they're sending a road call guy out in about an hour. So I fill the system with water and run the engine for about 10 minutes to see if there are any leaks. Walk Abby, discover a flat trailer tire now (bolt). Mac 55 again....

I see the road call place is right across the street lol so I go over there and they have the right clamp I need for the hose. $15 bucks as opposed to $3.99 Chinese made. So I'm draining all the water out, guy says 'drive your truck over here and we'll fix the tire; cheaper for Swift that way'. Cool, only Swift hasn't authorized the tire yet and the place is closing. I'm scrambling to dump 12 more gallons in the system so I can drive across the street, too late, even though I'm on their lot they charge Swift for the after hours road call. Anyway, a lot of stress and my 10 is up in a couple hours lol, I think I will sleep til I wake up-- no alarms.

Port Allen LA.

 

Phoenix, AZ. Last night stateside before I start to long plane. Be safe everyone

 

Enjoy the flight, bls. Say hi to my daughter when you pass her!
