    Here's where we're at during the current Master Trip.

    I've cooled down, so idle pressure is a little higher. New oil too. Typical it's at like 12 to15 at idle when it's cooking.

    When the oil is near it's end life, lose 2 to 3 psi across the board.

    I have hit the Keystone state 2x in the last week, just left today. I am struck by what a cool state PA is. Very beautiful coming across the state on I-80. That said, I also think they have more than their fair share of arseholes.

    One example: I parked along a curb at a full Loves in Londonderry to go in and shower early this past Sunday morning, and the manager there, who was one of those white chicks who thinks she is black, launched into a lengthy diatribe over the PA. I mean she went on and on about how whoever was driving that truck knew better and etc etc. She concluded this unusually long and detailed lecture by stating that the owner would have 10 minutes to move it or it would be towed. Now, mind you, this was no different than one would see at any truckstop anywhere, it seems in my book to be the unspoken rule that you park where you can from like 10p-6a, don't block anyone or anything, and we all make it through the night. I'm literally showering when this chick gets on her high horse, I'm naked in the shower. So I figure, fine she said I've got 10 minutes, better make it snappy. 6 minutes later this chick is literally beating on the door like she is gonna break it down! At that point I'm wrapping things up and at the sink with no shirt on. I open the door and she's screaming at me, "Why didn't you come to the fuel desk?'

    Ummm, because I was naked and in the shower and you concluded your lengthy diatribe by saying I have 10 minutes, so I figured you were good with 10 minutes.

    Crazy, that was a first. The Loves appears new, and apparently this chick is from Philly and equates Loves parking to that Parking wars show that used to be on. I full on wrote Loves a letter describing this chicks full on freak out over this. I still just don't get it. Not blocking anybody, nothing out of the ordinary. This chick acted like I killed her dog or something.

    Holy moly

    It seems you may need to have a talk with the OM about the amount of time she is spending with truck drivers.
