    Hey... wait a minute... I love pull throughs.... I use those whenever I can... However, I also consider how easy it will be to leave the spot...
    Today I parked in 4 different spots at this FJ in Carlisle... And at the end, I realized none made any difference, cause they are all bad anyway... :biggrin_25523:
     
    TruckDuo, Vilhiem and Blu_Ogre Thank this.

    And I thought would have some good spare time to relax today... :biggrin_25512: Well.... not really...

    Left Cannonsburg, KY at 2 am and took that wonderful I-79 and I-68 to MD... Did my WM groceries... Arrived at this FJ in PA late this morning and found this while walking around trailer... :biggrin_2554:

    No idea how those happened... Some "flying" debris on the road maybe? I am sure I didn't hit anything...

    So, I parked at a nice spot here... for a few mins though... Took trailer to shop for repair....
    After repair, I parked here...

    [​IMG]

    But then I decided the spot in front of me might be a little better... So, I moved again...

    [​IMG]

    Then, I kept thinking about moving to the other spot in front of me, on the other row facing the sun... a straight pull through... :yes2557: But while I was making up my mind, someone took it...
    Well... that was ok though... Cause all the spots here are so close to each other and the isles are not that large... so, no matter where you park... there are no good spots... :biggrin_25512:

    Had to get out of the truck three times this evening to watch drivers backing to the row in front of me cause they were VERY close to my hood...
    And had I not been watching, one of the drivers would have hit the concrete next to my truck...
    All spots in front of me are taken now... Will keep my running lights on all night long...

    Delivering about 15 mins from here sometime tomorrow... :yes2557:

    Go park at the Petro up the road next time. It will get just as crowded but you were there early enough to find better parking then what's at that J

    Rocks didn't you post a picture of a super clean floor a few months ago. That was back when I thought you were a dude who was a little light in the loafers and I was jealous how clean the floor was. Could you tell me what you use. I use the armor all, but it still doesn't look like the picture that you took.

    The "key" is to sweep it and wipe it every freaking day... Sometimes I do it more than once a day... Specially because I cook in here...
    I use Lysol... or Clorox Disinfecting wipes.... that's all... Wipe it till the wipe doesn't show any dirt on it any more...
    And when I cook in that RoadPro 12 volt portable stove,
    [​IMG]

    it always leaks water on the floor... which I wipe and wipe and wipe with a sponge... That also gets the floor clean... :yes2557:
    WOW... no wonder I am always busy and don't have much time to relax... :biggrin_25523:

    That's the other problem what kind of broom because those little hand held deals leave all the straw on the floor as well. Also is there any hope getting it to look like that after I have tracked all that salt crap in here?

    I better get a Sams card do I can get the super heavy duty deal of wipes. So they still have ladies who clean the trucks? I haven't had a cb in over a year, but can't remember hearing them on the radio like I use too. Also will commercial company clean the truck for you?
