    Costco DC. San Diego. Left Wheeler Ridge at 0130, drove non stop straight to the customer. Got here 45 minutes early. Backed right in and was empty in less than 30 minutes. Sitting on a side street waiting to finish my 30 minute break.

    I’ll tell them goodbye. For me leaving later tonight, and hopefully the state snaps off at the border, then I’ll wave goodbye.

    Remember that small class action lawsuit against an old company I got $1000.00 for last year? California taxed me on it. I could either let them keep the money they stole....taxed me....or file an entire income tax form with them. I told them to keep it.

    Parked at Loves in Williams, AZ yesterday and woke up this morning at 0300 to start my day like I usually like to start at with my throat a little scratchy and sinus’s feeling like they are getting stuffy. Must be the crazy weather changes, good thing I keep a cold/flu/sinus over the counter kit in my truck with my first aid kit just in case sickness sets in out here. Hopefully nip it before gets too bad. Went in to use the bathroom and after the stalls got filled up a eastern european driver walks in and gets angry the stalls are full then starts ranting and raving and yelling at people for taking longer than 5 minutes to empty their bowels, “should only take everybody 5 min, s—t and get out. Im tired of people taking more than 5 min to s—t.” I almost called him the toilet nazi, but held my tongue, lol! Usually at that time of the morning there are quite a few ppl just hiding in the stalls while parked in the fuel island trying to get a 30 min break in though.

    It turns out that if your trailer tire looks like this, it will not retain sufficient levels of air to stay fully inflated.

    I thump the tires religiously whenever I pick up a trailer. That's a "100% of the time" kind of thing. And when I picked this trailer up yesterday, all eight tires were fine. Currently at the Petro in Mebane waiting for them to give me a tire with fewer holes in the sidewall.

    I love how the arrow marks the bad spot. Probably wouldn't have seen it without.....
