    I'm stuck at the Springville, UT Love's. Stopped to take a shower. Came out and tried to start the truck and no dice. It wouldn't start. It's not cranking at all so leads me to believe it's the #### starter that was replaced not too long ago. :(

    The truck has been parked at location that I rent for "hometime" since yesterday and I am here...

    [​IMG]

    Woke up at 1 am on Friday and left that QUIET and secluded empty fuel station at 2 am on Friday... Headed to my "hometime" location in TN...
    One of the truck headlights went out in Atlanta... :biggrin_25510: Good thing I always carry spares... Had to stop at 3 different locations to find another bulb...
    Arrived at rented parking place at 8 am east time and took almost 3 hrs to load my vehicle and leave... After running many errands yesterday, checked in my "hometime" hotel in the afternoon and continued running more errands...
    Stopped at storage and got some other things to bring to hotel... At 17:30 yesterday I finally had all my things in the hotel....
    For the first time my room is on the second floor... No elevator... :biggrin_25510: had to go up the stairs about 5 times with loads of heavy stuff.... For a damaged back like mine, that was painful... :biggrin_2552: And then, realized that left some things in the truck... :biggrin_25510: and other things in the storage... :biggrin_25510:
    Will be very busy these "hometime" days... I intend to go back on the road on Friday early afternoon...

    What bulb does the Cascadia use? Is it H11? Volvo uses H11 in the low beam and 9005 in the high beam.

    Love the convenience of "my hometime hotel"... Two beds, big bathroom, stove.... and it's just across from my storage... :yes2557: That's the main reason I haven't moved to a storage near my co. terminal in OK...
