    So, I went to my ex-wife's house tonight. It's my daughter's first homecoming dance. I went over because I wanted pics of her in the dress I bought. I didn't know she had a date. Originally she was just going stag with some of her girlfriends. Apparently not. And she's also been dating this guy for a couple months. The ex somehow forgot to mention that. Well, I met the kid tonight and I gotta say, I liked him instantly. Any guy that shows up with a bow tie and a analog dress watch is okay in my book. No shotgun threats necessary tonight :biggrin_2559:

    Ok, we probably crossed paths then. I dnh in La Crosse Mon afternoon, got to Memphis Tue night but appt was at 0800 Wed. Back to LC Thu afternoon, dnh, and made Memphis for my 2000 appt Fri night. Reloaded for drop in Burleson a few hours ago.

    Like y’all said, ain’t much at that terminal. So I dropped and bob tailed down the frontage road about 4 miles to a little Chevron fuel stop. It’s 6 bucks to park but I didn’t mind. Clean, quiet and a great little TexMex restaurant attached. Lots of food choices here within walking distance.

    Hey how long can you keep the truck shut down with the fridge on before you have to worry about the battery. My truck is a 19 not sure if it matters or not.
    I heard 11 but would like to know for sure

    Okay, I can't actually answer your question, but the low voltage alarm will start beeping if it's getting close to time where you need to run it so if you are in the truck I wouldn't worry, it will tell you in needs to be started.

    If you are not in the truck you'll need to wait for someone with personal knowlesge to answer.

    I didn't know he worked Sundays. Never happened when I was there anyway. Maybe they are short in dispatch...?
