    Have you ever noticed, when you drop something, like a pen on the floor of the truck, its always about a half inch more than you can reach.

    I used to deliver to the one in Cheyenne, but I've never stopped there while OTR. This 1 out near Green River (actually designated as Little America, WY) has a good grill though for a truckstop. The hotel is also decently priced and clean, with beer in the store if you're waiting out a storm.

    Yes that is by far the best place to be if you have to be stuck in WY... They make a really good Bacon, Egg, & Cheese on Sour Dough.

    I had a patty melt at the one in Wheeling and it was AWESOME.

    This is a very interesting video... It talks of the legal battle over the right to have the access to the technology to repair what you own... Aka you should be able to legally get access to the diagnostic software to repair whatever you own (trucks, electronics, farm equipment).

    How many times have you heard "only the dealer can diagnose and repair this issue"? If legislation like the one discussed in this video were to pass nation wide you would never hear that again.

    Good lesson here about attention to detail! Do you see what caused this VERY expensive crash? It is those minor things that get you in the end!

    I used to live 2 blocks away from there. The answer is that the landing copter got too close to the copter spinning up

    Both aircraft were in the wrong (IMHO). First, the ground crew did not park the first copter correctly (attention to detail). Then the 2nd copter pilot lost situational awareness and continued the landing allowing these aircraft to be destroyed. I saw this video clip this morning on the weather channel. Good teaching material here about attention to detail and situational awareness. Lose these things and bad things are the result.
