    At the Westar Travel Plaza in Cowpens, SC (Formerly Mr. Waffle). Being remodeled I decided to take a chance on their showers. Ok, I was starting to get overripe and needed one. Was not dissapointed. They are very nice. They don't have toilets in the showers but for $7 including bar soap washcloth and towel it's a bargain. That's the price you pay at the Vince Lombardi and that's using your own towel, etc.

    I've been seeing that place at least twice a week and wondered about it. Looks nice from the road. However my fuel card has guaranteed us as a loyal TA/Petro customer, so I have never stopped in when the Duncan TA is just up the road (for $3.03 fuel last trip).

    Been a busy week for me so far. Yesterday I again found the capital beltway a pleasure to drive at 0230 on the way out of DE. Then spent last night at the Carnesville, GA Petro to slip in to Atlanta pre-rush hour at 0430. Now savoring the goodness of a consignee that has their crap together (Costco), while enjoying the cup of coffee I brewed in the truck after installing a big inverter last month and finally getting around to buying a coffee maker and the goods to use it with. Simply awesome to have a fresh cup anywhere in the same time it would take to go in to a truck stop and buy one.

    Good things come to an end however. Leaving here I will dash over to Americold and reload for another lap thru VA before Friday. So close to home and no time to stop LOL.

    Sitting at the TA shop I-65 Lebanon In. Got up this morning and found this on my pre trip

    [​IMG]

    AC compressor froze up and broke the serpentine belt. TA doesn't have any compressors in stock so I am waiting for parts stores to open. I figure lunch time is as early as I will get to leave.

    If you are in the neighborhood stop in and say Hi. I am the dry bulk tanker parked in front of the shop.

    I'm listening to dueling real deals. Take it to 27 or 23. Not hard to figure out where I am.
