    I don't know if Anyone has updated their Pilot app (At least for Android) they totally re-did the app. You can start the pump from your phone now, so when you're waiting in line to fuel (Notice...WHEN..not IF....) you can put in all your pump info, and it will generate a code you punch into the pump and it starts it up with all your info. And immediately sends the receipt to your phone. Ive done it twice, works great. Also has a list of all your last receipts as well. Soon be able to reserve and pay for parking using the app directly.

    Same with the TA app for the parking. You can reserve and pay using the app directly now. I don't reserve parking 99% of the time...unless I'm rolling at night and need a spot at a packed lot. (North Platte NE comes to mind for the Walmart).

    But hey, its a business expense.

    Speaking of expenses, I'm still trying to figure out my rear end shaking. I was talking to my heavy mechanic grandfather, and he thinks it could be the shocks. Only shakes with something on (Empty, loaded). Shaking is less strong with a loaded trailer (Holding the backend down), a slightly bumpy road will kind of "cancel" out the shake and it will be smooth. A smooth fresh new highway and it shakes the entire time. Also could be right height, the height could be fine bobtail but not getting correct with a trailer. But the shake frequency is low enough that it doesent seem to be the driveline. Carrier bearing is good, no play in the driveline. So next PM, I'll be getting the shocks changed out and we'll see. Other option would be balance checking the drives. Would be nice if I could get that done with the wheels on the hub so the whole assembly could be checked.

    Still using the same dashcam purchased at the TA back in 2012 or so. Still works decent but I imagine new ones are light years ahead on features. \\
