    Got my load of insulation off in Commerce City, CO...took a while, since these places are taking care of their local trucks and customers at the same time.

    Next load....Anheuser Busch in Fort Collins, to Devil's Lake, ND.

    I'm in Cheyenne this evening, and these truck stops are the last of the major brands on my entire route! 813 miles from here...No Love's, TA, PFJ....nothing. Fuel solution didn't even offer me one...said to call my terminal in the morning! Geez!

    Anywho....that's not even the kicker. That would be all my winter gear....hats, gloves, long underwear, long-sleeve flannel shirts, everything....is keeping nice and warm and dry. In my bedroom closet at home. Yup...forgot 'em last time there.

    Fun times. Be safe, everyone!
