Thursday evening: Cumberland MD to Selkirk NY. Somewhere along the way, I got a dose of something, idk what. Drove back to PA with a lot of potty stops :(

The reason we vanners tell newbies to drive bigger trucks is because there are way too many vans out there. Imagine literally every kid on your block running a lemonade stand; you'd be lucky to get a dime a cup.

Yeah, he was nice enough, I suppose. I was just shocked, that's all.

Put on the short skirt for a long, get-close-to-home run. Avon, MN to Hagerstown, MD. Now at a relative's house to sleep it off. Night night....

Northfield MN.

Mebbe I should've kept the shower receipt. Do my tootsies stink? Not as bad as they did a few months ago. I think it's just the J reacting to some local or retired traveller or whomever, that thinks all people in vans are scuzzballs. Idk and idc.

Five days at a Love's in a van? I didn't think that was possible! 10-4 on the guy in SLC being a tool. I'm now at the Pilot in Inver Grove. I vented to the shift manager about what I'd experienced at the other place (Northfield); she was a sweetheart. She also told me that at this store (Inver)...

... for sitting too long. Apparently someone complained about the man taking a nap in his vehicle with his (shod) feet sticking out the side door. This is after I spent close to $50 over two days at the restaurant AND bought $45 worth of gas. The kid that confronted me asked me if I was...

Have fun and be safe :D And yes, I'm a hair jealous :p

Some states have the word "commercial" on their plates; woe unto you if your plate doesn't, and you park in NYC.* PA used to have separate plates for commercial and personal trucks; that changed in the 70's. Now, all trucks get a truck plate, commercial or not. My son pays $204.50 for his F350...

I figured it would be a good place, too. Problem was, AT&T figures it's the dark side of the moon. Oh well...

Can't say I did, no.

Nah, the heck with Wisconsin. I'm now at the Kwik Star in Nodine, MN. This is where I should have come in the first place. Decent little truckstop, shower $8 (or free after 50 gal). Maybe I'll get a choo choo run this weekend, or most likely sit till Monday. Either way, the decision will be: J...

Newp. No bars for me. Now at the Road Ranger in Tomah. After 1700, who knows?

Thanks! Will try that in the morning. I was just gobsmacked that I couldn't get service in a decent sized town; when you get 5 bars in bfe Idaho, you get spoiled :p

And a nice loud Leslie train horn :)

Wanted Denny's and a shower, so I drive almost 50 miles to the J in Black River Falls, Wis. Get here, no cell service. Are you farkin' SERIOUS?? :mad: Oh well, tonight I sleep, tomorrow I deal with this. Decision: stay in Wisconsin or head towards Minneapolis?

That would be the shiznit, but I'd need an advance to do it, that's for sure :p

Got out :cool: Livonia to Onalaska, WI

A minor miracle last Friday: got to go home loaded :) Saturday: rest. Sunday: retrieve wife's car from son, and enjoy Grandson Time :D Wife staying home for a little while, because the people we've been living with need their cellar back and we hafta move. I dh'ed to Pittsburgh to deliver a...
