It's 9:25 p.m. and we're settling in for the night. Just finished dinner at the fabu Flying J in Sullivan MO. Saturday is "steak buffet" night for the more adventurous.
It's still hot. Thankfully this truck has an AC unit that runs without running the truck all night.
I'm looking around for driver-supplied ecoutrements that you guys might be interested in: two power inverters (one powering my laptop now), a scanner (to get the latest on weather and road conditions), fancy CB and special antennas, special purple covers for the interior dome lights (now it's a disco truck), bedding of course, spiral-bind road atlas, looseleaf style log book, steel toe boots (kept in truck for when needed), sunglasses (ordered from Gempler's no less), hard hat, leather gloves (one pair for fueling, one pair for unloading), first aid kit, crow bar, hammer, tin snips, crecent wrenches, pliers, safety vest, flashlight and one slightly grumpy wife.
The truck stop has four or five "carrels" for computers ... places to plug in your laptop. All were full on our way past, everyone playing a computer game as far as I could tell. He remarked earlier how cool it would be to have a stand that you could mount in your truck to put a laptop on ... I referred him to AWD.
We'll go back in the truck stop in a while to brush our teeth and take what I hope is the last pee of the evening. Then wake up tomorrow for a shower and get ready to hit it again.
