Trans Am Still

When I met the Flash, I would not have described him as "overweight".

Parked behind a Lowe's retail store, waiting for my 8 hour SB break to finish so I can move the last 5 miles and make my delivery this morning.

 

Got to embrace the bald. I did.

 

I would be ecstatic for pumpkin cookies. Later today I'm making bacon chocolate chip pumpkin bread and deep fried moonshine.

Since I'm bobtail this hometime the in laws let me back right up and park in the driveway for the weekend which is really convenient because I sleep in my truck, even on hometime. I can't get any decent sleep in the bed at the house and can't come back out after a week at home having not slept. My kids are excited my truck is home!

 

Here in the recovery T-700 to make a pick-up on a load that should take me back to Rockwall to pick up my regular truck. The exhaust filter warning & check engine light just started going off. Running a Regen cycle now. Hope that it works and I can get this truck off my hands before it needs to go into the shop!

 

Good afternoon, everyone!
passport, keeping my fingers crossed for you!
honeybadger, enjoy your home time and baking. I don't know about the bacon in the pumpkin bread tho!
Pete, are you back to running the roads?
JohnBoy, are you heading for home?
Panhandle, are you already out of Illinois? I hear they are setting up portables across there today.

 

thank you now I can be prepared

 

In Okawville, Il. at the Road Ranger. only 62 miles away from delivery. 41 miles from Stl thought I would get some channels but zero. good thing I have movies. Leave out 0400. next load Joslin, Il to Mechanicsville, Va then home. Hope they unload me fast I would like to get home early

be safe out there

 

Today is a sad day for a lot of people. I remember the slogan "We will never forget" but I have seen nothing out here that is a reminder of what happened this day 13 years ago. Sad to me. This is how history repeats itself. I hope that it never does. That smoke went over my house for 2 days and that is a smell that I will never forget.

 

Shut down early today. Rule of the northeast comes into play. Park early or park in an undesirable place. Near Hazleton PA at arest area on I 81. My delivery is at 1pm tomorrrow. 112 miles away. Will get up. Drive to the Pilot in Newburgh NY. Stop aand get a showe. Really sleepy. The APU kept turning off and the noise of the interstate kept waking me up last night andearly this morning. I need the APU to drown out the outside noise. Wish me luck. Deuces.

 

^ LUCK!!!

The showers suck but that is otherwise a very good truck stop. It has a Burger King (my fav fast food burgers), if you park behind you can pick up the free WiFi from BK and it has a Dollar Gen. within walking distance to pick up stuff for the truck.

My last load was out of Joslin, I left it in good shape for you.

The regen cycle seems to have worked for now but a swap is brewing that will take me away from getting back to my regular truck in Rockwall. I like this truck more ... but I miss my stuff in my regular truck. All I need is my 9mm data wire to listen to podcast, cleaning supplies, second phone .. that is all I need ... and my bolt cutters ... that's all I need ...

I MISS MY STUFF:
