    I did the google maps and I didn't see any trucks parked outside. Just 1 bobtail straight truck. The street doesn't seem like it has a shoulder so the right lane would be blocked. I'm parked at the break check area so I don't spend no money :) That's how I budget. Got a couple 2 dollars burgers from Mickey D's in Barstow and a Coke zero and I'll be good until tmrw. Oh crap I did forget to get some money out the atm machine for the taco trucks and the guy who helps us back in at the banana place. Guess I can hit up one b4 I get down there.

    I park there once in a while. About as far as I can log from El Paso without having to squeeze in that #### half hour break.

    I'm back in El Paso tonight. I was pulling a brand new trailer and suddenly started hearing air leaking from the trailer brakes when I applied the brakes. Since I was headed to the yard and the brakes were working, I decided to bring it on in. When I got to the yard, i did my post trip and found one of the service brake hoses had come loose from the brake chamber. Didn't appear ripped, just disconnected. Parked the trailer in front of the shop and wrote it up in my report.

    Well you obviously just lost any chance of becoming a SUPERTRUCKER! A SUPERTRUCKER! would have just dropped that trailer in the yard and let the next poor slob who tried to hook to it, worry about that little old air leak. . .:biggrin_25512:

    Parked in Salinas, CA at the Pilot for the night. And the ugliest hooker on the face of the earth knocked at my door. I got up, I said, "There's no way she's hooking, maybe she is a driver who needs help". Nope. "Hey Mr Gordon driver, you want some company?" "You're kidding,right? Lady, who's paying you for that? You look like someone took a shredded bat to your face". Undeterred, she replied "Lots of guys baby". Guys. Really? You're keeping Madusa in business here in Salinas. I'm not just saying she looks like Madusa. She (it) is the real deal. Wow. I told her to walk away before I called the cops on her. Not even for being a prostitute. Because nobody should ever have to think of that thing nude. Oh. My. God.

    Camping at the EB rest area on I-16 in Ga. Unload in Vidalia in the morning. Then gonna beat feet back up to Big A. Gotta beat the snow. I hung out with some bull haulers in Amarillo Saturday. Coolest dudes on the road with the baddest rides around. I would love to do it but gotta have my rest. Hope everybody is having a good one.
