    We have Sheets in Ohio don't have Royal Farms or Wawa. There's a Royal Farm not far from here.

    Make sure the cooks are not nuking the #### things to order. They need fresh made to order on a HOT griddle....

    I used to kill, sort and steam crabs bayside for a living and manage the three one inch gas line equipped steamers. I made good crabs. But I had to stop because I developed feelings for them #### things after a few months after I stab them in the heart with a icepick and watch them deflate in death. Im cold in battle but Im too nice to spend a life time killing like that by the hundreds a day.

    Sheetz is #### good. If they ever open down here in the south.... Walkersville or Manassa will take your big truck for a few minutes...

    Try them out. Like I mentioned, Bugers, Hoagies, Fried Chicken, Hot Dogs.....all the good stuff your doctor don't want you to eat. WaWa has options if you want to eat healthy, but like I mentioned, try the Chicken Fingers with fries. You'll thank me for it.

    Absolutely. Go to By The Docks on Eastern Blvd in Middle River for those. They're great there.

    I like Sheetz. There aren't many places where I can get a burger MY way, and that is devoid of plant matter. I hate people who look at me like I have two heads for wanting one with nothing on it.

    Weis is toward the higher end of the price spectrum for grocery stores. I prefer Food Lion.

    Alright guys, I'm back. Another day out in the Wayne, Norristown, German Town Pike and Abington, PA area.
    We were out for a little while today it was a long day. Didn't get back till almost 5pm.

    I was riding again, but I ended up driving the final way back and last stop. Were at our second last stop and the stop was complete and I'm standing outside of the truck waiting for the driver to move the truck up so I can close the doors. So he eventually does pull the truck up and I shut the doors. Well I go to climb in the cab and the poor kid has tears streaming down his face. I said "What's wrong?"
    He informs me that his grandfather had just passed away and I saw him on the phone when I was waiting for him to pull the truck away from the dock.

    So I said "Well alright, look why don't I take over you want let me drive to the next stop and so on."
    He said "Really? Could you?"
    I said "Yes."
    Poor kid was all up set, we got to the last stop and I told him, hey look if you want you can just sit here and I'll handle this, but he insisted on helping.

    So I drove to the last stop through the woods I guess lots of roads in wooded areas in PA and then I drove from our last stop which was somewhere in Pennsylvania not very far away from the Delaware boarder, because on the way back I got on I-95 south bound and drove a few miles and boom saw the sign Welcome to Delaware,so I had about probably a good 50-60 miles of driving on I-95.

    Ended up earning my I-95 stripe drove through Wilmington, DE and then got through a real life east coast weigh station. The weight station on the boarder of Maryland and Deleware was open and I had to get in line to go through that. First time I've ever been through a weigh station. Ended up getting in and out of the weigh station just fine. We were empty so there was no way we would be over weight.

    Anyhow got back to the warehouse I unhooked the trailer and parked the truck . Went in and checked out and after a 15 hour day I though well I earned my pay today...

    Anyhow went to the Tide Water Grill in Havor De Grace for dinner had some crab cakes very good I liked them. Thinking tomorrow I'll probably have Royal Farms for dinner Sho Nuff recomended them so that's good enough for me.

    Anyhow that was today's story. It's always an adventure around here.

    There's a scale up there at the DE line on 95 now?

    Must be new...

    BTW, 495 through DE is a better run.
