    It's 30 past midnight and I must finish planning my stops for tomorrow, my hrs... eat a fruit salad cause no time to cook and maybe wash myself (or not) and go to bed. Yesterday I took my 10 hr break at a Walmart supercenter parking lot in IN, very quiet, very nice... So much better than truck stops or rest areas... No noisy trucks, lots of space, did my groceries... :yes2557: But tonight I came to shipper in Des Plaines, IL... no truck here but folks here work 24 hrs and the only dock there is, where I am, is right next to the smoking area... :biggrin_25510: Darn... I closed the window but the smell of smoke.... :biggrin_25510: it will impregnate this truck for a week... :biggrin_25510: Funny, there was absolutely nobody here when I arrived at 22:00... The dock is like a narrow driveway off a narrow street... and I did my backing in the middle of the street, in the dark in 3 mins and got it PERFECT!!!! OH!! I AM SO THANKFUL AND PROUD OF MYSELF!! :blob3::yes2557: Then, as I was sitting in the truck doing my paperwork, one guy/worker came out for a cigaret and stared at me, then another and then another... and soon there were several guys smoking right next to the truck and staring at me.... :biggrin_2556::biggrin_2558::biggrin_2554: I had to roll up the window and close my curtain... :biggrin_25510:

    My dear Rocks, the men were smitten with your beauty and they all wanted to get a peek. They were probably highly disappointed when you didn't get out and grace them with your presence. They were probably transplanted yompers.

    Thank you for the adorable polar bear. I wish I was where he is staying cool.
    I hope you got a good night of
    :biggrin_25518:Be safe in your travels today.
