    The TA in Rockwall used to be a total pit out in the middle of nowhere! Noticed there was a Japanese hibachi restaurant and a steak place too as I left. Just delivered in Ft Worth (very quick unload at US Cold Strg,) and am parked on the street for the night. Heh! Had a "helpful" Central Refrigerated guy decide it was time to give backing pointers to some poor Prime driver. He made sure I knew I could "use all the space" and not to be afraid because "I wasn't being tested."

    :laughing-guffaw:
    Really? WOW!! Is that how ya do it??? Amazing!!!! :cool:

    Petro, N. Little Rock AR... got a busted wire on the tractor's rear left turn signal. GRRR! It's either shell out a lot 'o $$$ for the assembly, or go do surgery with a soldering iron - gotta get one of those too! Upside... finally got the "Maine" off of my truck from last weekend.

    IP, if you're handy enough slinging solder, you might want to get a butane soldering iron. The cheap ones go for about $20; I've seen them at Sears and Home Depot. Don't fall for the rechargeable battery ones; they aren't worth the effort.

    I bought a Pyropen a long time ago. They aren't cheap, but they have have power. (Insert Tim Taylor grunts here.) On high, they're comparable to a 150W soldering gun; on low, about a 30W pencil.

    OK, so we met. Were you the guy with the R/C cars? Need a hit here. Nice meeting you. Great tail wind, with 10.5 across Wyoming and now at 9.3 in Nebraska.

    That was someone else. I was just passing though security with a "hidden" trailer. Thought you might have been in there. Maybe next time.

    It's mostly the grade... from about 8500' west of Cheyenne down to 3500-ish out near Big Springs NE. Almost all downhill. Taking a break, Jackson TN.
