    was tempted to do that, especially since i was right down the street at the same exit, at millard refrigerated but I wanted to get a washout. and i've never seen the TA full, since its a pay lot thats where i was planning on parking, after being stuck in the lot for a while waiting for a flat bed that took almost 40 minutes to park i circled around on my way to leave and someone was coming out of a spot

    I remember the first time I tried to back a spread axle flat on concrete. The surface wasnt exactly flat and it would switch pivot points from one axle to the other.

    Well I put my app in and awaiting approval. My current company just can't keep me running enough to pay for this truck and I hate sitting. The only downside I see for jct is my co pilot (dog) will have to wait for me to save 2k big ones before he can join me.

    Stopped for day at the Wal-Mart in Winslow, Az and went ahead restocked my truck. Found a single burner electric stove top for $20. So, i got that along with an 8in skillet and some non stick cooking spray. Now, I can make me bacon and eggs in the morning.

    Let me know how that works macho. I got one of those fancy ones and it won't work on the apu:( so I still use my George Foreman grill and microwave.

    Works pretty good. Made myself a couple of grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner. I also have a Carrier apu with a generator. This is the one I got from Wal-Mart:

    JCT has perfect timing. Just when I was getting ready to roll, they call asking me if I was willing to do a swap. I was like sure, as long as the other person can get to Tolleson by noon today. He called the other guy and he said he could, so we swapped. More miles for me.

    The main thing I hate about Winslow, Az is all the #### beggers. Got approached by one yesterday on the way in to Wal-Mart and two when I came out. Then two more this morning while doing the swap.

    They sometimes show up a the Pilot at Exit 39 in NM on the 40. But, at least they are trying to sell you something instead of just straight up begging.
