    So bear kicked my tires coming into the most awesomest state.

    On the trailer. Hazmat so had to go in anyway, but I didn't get a bypass.

    He waved me on.

    Think they have a sensor that even tells them if tire is low. Girl in the window said it reads mismatched that way too.

    In other irrelevant facts worthy of a Thanksgiving day conversation. The Toledo war was fought over control of the Toledo Port. Michigan claimed the territory. The Ohio Soldiers claimed the Michigan Soldiers fought like Wolverines. Thus the nickname. The Federal Government negotiated a treaty. Ohio got control of Toledo. Michigan got the U.P. Since Wisconsin wasn’t yet a State, only part of a territory. A Wolverine was finally found in Michigan about 20 yrs ago. It’s unclear though if it was native to the area. More likely brought in by someone and let loose. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. This is the part where one of my half drunk Brother in laws asks “ What the hell are you talking about”? Lol. I don’t miss that at all.

    I stopped at the Petro on Watt Road in Knoxville, and partook of the "all-you-can-eat" turkey dinner.

    Not bad, as institutional food goes. I cleaned up 2 plates for $17.99. My tummy is happy.

    Got to listen to 3 VERY LOUD truckers at the counter.

    One giving his dissertation on the origins of COVID and the gooberment response thereto, one bragging about how much money he's making by dicking over the outfit he's leased to, and one talking the same old #### about "baffled vs unbaffled tankers", and how an unbaffled tanker will toss you all over the road like a ragdoll.........PUH-LEEEEZE.

    Tanker boy was a big fat trucker, like the kind of fat that makes me think to myself, "Well, I ain't THAT bad.........YET!"

    He had killed a plate and was working on a second when I came in, had another while I was working on mine, then he ordered another one, and at that point some more drivers came in, and he started talking real loud to them, I figured "this is where I came in", so settled my check and walked around in the store for awhile.

    Now that I've had a dose of WIIS entertainment, I guess I'll get back on 75 toward Dayton, OH-HI-OH.

    I'm dragging an empty, I'm off for the weekend, and Thanksgiving dinner is whatever day I show up, with me, Missus Skillet, and young Master Skillet, if he can squeeze us in to his busy schedule.

    Happy Thanksgiving to you-n-yers.

    If you're home, stay there. You ain't missing anything out here.

    If you're rolling, safe travels.

    I'll reassess my will to drive when I reach Corbin, KY.

    No telling these days. Last one I read about is the heat sensors for hubs. Checking for a cold/inoperable brake.
