    First of all I am considerate and do not park on the fuel islands. Just my nature.

    Now for some other inconsiderate SOB? My bet is management will cave and pull the boot for free to not have a confrontation with the customer....... Unless the tow truck is there to do their dirty work.

    Should have called a guy in a Dooley with a welder on back. 4 inch piece of scrap, 10 minutes of sizzle, crank and go. Boy I knew could weld anything except a broken heart. (He had a personal mend for those.)

    I wore a trail in one of those for 3 months after a stroke in 2013. Along with associated therapy to learn to swallow again. Liquid food thru the belly peg is not really fulfilling.

    Have you ever dealt with the management in Wyoming? They have some individuals there who enjoy the confrontation. It's 1 of my go to spots since there's usually a spot, the grill is 24/7, and the cheeseburgers aren't bad.

    Those handrails on that walking board are equal to a life jacket when you leave the Titanic.
    When they absolutely, positively, need to be there RIGHT THEN.

    Had to stop and re-stock The Casper. We was bouncing on E.

    Soon there will be two kind of truckers in the projected hurricane areas-

    1) Prepared.
    2) All the rest.
