    They have this manuever down pat up here. They park in the median just over the hill west of missoula. They decide which truck they will pull over , and following u right before the weigh station and light u up... so he can give inspection off the road way .. See him everyday has someone pulled over, today it was me

    So I hit the road at 0400 today thinking that I take a coffee break at the 4 hour mark. I pull into a restarea right on time for my coffee and a constitution, knowing full well that the coffee will work its magic. Sit back and brew a fresh cup of Community Coffee Dark Roast, oh yeah. Have a couple hard boiled eggs and some blueberry yogurt. I'm lovin' life and livin' large (or is it the other way around?) Anyway, the coffee kicks in fast, and I mean fast, so I make my way to the clubhouse. I walk up to the door and what do I see?! "RESTROOMS OUT OF ORDER"
    Oh gawd! And also, WTF!! I get back to my truck with a very uneasy feeling beginning to overwhelm me. By the time I get to the on-ramp I'm beginning to get cramps and it only gets worse from there. Fortunately, I made it down the road to a Love's. Getting across the parking lot was an extreme chore. Not an experience I want to relive anytime soon.

    That's a scary feeling, I've been known to visit the woods in those situations.

    A little hitch in the alternate step left/right/left/ sometime relieves the immediate pressure.
    Also make the needed time go slower it seems.
