    I thought it was fun that there were 3 named trucks socializing. Ghost, Glory, and Amelia with our two headed cat. :D Hope the Panther driver identifies them self. ;)

    Air Tabs

    Pictures? I have pictures. Of course, I don' t do a great job of labeling them. :o The first shows where I put Airtabs on the roof of my sleeper (3/10 mpg savings). The second pic shows the Airtabs on the fenders and the back of the West Coast mirrors. The third and fourth pics show a...

    Boston area layover??

    There's a Walmart at 72 Main St., N. Reading Township. It is not posted and the time I stayed there I talked to a local police officer. There are no local regulations against staying there. As I recall I was there 2 days.

    Cleaning around doors

    Would Heloise approve?

    India, In my quiet, shy way (all who've met me are laughing), I just ask drivers that I see reading what kind of books they read and tell them that I have books looking for homes. I approached one guy who was looking at the book rack in a truckstop. He left with a bag full of books...

    Would Heloise approve?

    As a reader, I exchange books with other drivers. I ended up with some that smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. Now I couldn't just not read them because that goes against the grain. Instead, I had the brilliant idea to use one of the flat air fresheners as a book mark. Voila, books to...
