    Good job Mr..... glad for you... :yes2557: I know what you are saying about "Get the H! away from me!"... :biggrin_1square1:

    I do the same thing.... keep watching them on my flat mirrors... and sooo many times I caught them coming too close to the truck and trailer because they were distracted with something in the car... that's when I open my window (if it's not already open), put my hand outside and look really angry at them and tell them to move the H away from me! :biggrin_25516: And they always do... :biggrin_25519:

    Today was a super soggy wet cold day in the city of Rio... :angry1:
    I knew it was going to rain in Rio but didn't imagine it would be so much... So, I brought only my nylon coat and no umbrella cause I am already carrying my laptop in my bag and a few other things and I would be walking a lot...
    So... it rained buckets of cats and dogs all day long in the city.. :biggrin_2552: I got totally soaked..:angry4: even my panties, and my socks and everything else.. :angry6: it was pouring, windy, and cold. 20 celcius..

    I got wet ALL DAY LONG.... dripping kinda wet.... :confused: and had to sit in a cold room for almost one hr.. waiting to speak with an attendant in a government office... all my clothes wet... I was shivering.... with cold... :confused:
    And the humidity... :confused:

    And I brought my laptop for nothing.. thought was going to need it to check some DVDs I ordered.. but the shop had a laptop... and I didn't need mine... :biggrin_1square1:
    Then, I went to 3 places tying to find a phone booth for international calls... the third one had a booth.. tried to call the place in USA 3 times, couldn't talk to anyone and spent almost U$4.00 for that... :angry1:
    No time for lunch... just walking around with my heavy bag under intense rain and strong wind... :biggrin_2552:
    Finally, thought I was going to find a room in a hotel... :biggrin_25513:
    Went to three hotels nearby and none had vacancy... :angry5:
    So... I ended up here....

    This room is just a little bigger than the cab of "my" truck... :biggrin_25523:
    Hey.. Mr... @MACK E-6 is that small enough for you...?
    I know I have been at even smaller hotel rooms... :biggrin_25523:

    That's the shower and bathroom all in the same place...

    Then.. this evening, I had to put on my damp clothes again to go out and have my lunch... or dinner at 7 pm local time and took two buses to go to Rio International airport..
    And when I got there.... the airline company was having some "problem" with a flight that was cancelled and I had to wait for 1:30hr just to get some information about my trip.... :angry2:
    Ohhhh what a day...
    By the time I was ready to leave the airport and come back to the hotel, there were no more buses... ohhhh.... "great".... :biggrin_1square1:
