    Working on it. I think I have 2 more months to wait. And now that I’m running local, I see you guys all the time.

    So... no lights while Driving, right?

    I considered completing the load with the Pre Trip Lights Test running... can you just imagine seeing that Christmas Tree rolling down the road?

    :laughing-guffaw:

    But Officer, the lights ARE working.

    Yes, and they’ll put a place mat in front of you that has the hops rating for each brew. I found anything over about 60 (they start getting into IPA territory at that rating IIRC).) was too hoppy for my tastes.

    That's a sign that you should probably buy a lottery ticket.

    That Pilot is awful. Nothing lucky about being there, not that the TA down the road is any better.
     
    MidWest_MacDaddy Thanks this.

    Lucky that he could find a parking space there, was where I was going with that. Place is a madhouse 24x7.

    Last time I was there, they only had two working pumps, making it even more special.

    The TA in Hurricane ain't bad tho. I stop there alla time. Showers are good.

    Me and hubby stopped there once about 4 years ago on Xmas eve. Only time I’ve ever seen it almost totally empty. And probably only about the 5th time I have ever even attempted to go in there.

    You quickly learn to avoid that Pilot. When heading back to Richmond, if I couldn't make it to the Beckley service plaza, I would stop short at the Bidwell Loves.
