My new, final resting place

Hopefully, they will have more parking, too. Having an iHop on site will be a huge attraction for me; maybe they're learning that not all drivers want a full-time menu of Subway or Arby's sandwiches all the time. I chose to stay at Flying J over Pilot for one reason: the sit-down restaurants on site, usually a Denny's, but both of them have very large lots.

 

But on a more positive note, I tested my newly-repaired 12v receptacles with my RoadPro coffee maker and guess what?

I am now enjoying a truck-made mug of Starbucks Sumatra coffee, my favorite. Now the best coffee on the Interstate is found in this ol' Pete!

 

That bodes well. I travel that road and I24 a lot. I shall have to keep my eyes open.

Or not.

I will save money, much money, not knowing where it is...

 

After spending two lovely Georgia summer nights in this truck with no AOU, I am now sitting outside the ThermoKing shop in Resaca, first in line, to get the bloody thing fixed.

 

APU was fixed and the temperature dropped 20 degrees that night.

Of course.

But I'm at the tail end of a 34-hour reset that I need. I've been running on 4-6 hour recaps for too long and I was assigned a beer load that's already late to be picked up and it's a preloaded AB load, so I figured, why not? It doesn't deliver until Monday anyway...

Then I can get back to a normal 8-9 hour days and not be confronted by a week of 4-6 hour recaps in my near future.
