I DON'T KNOW IF I HAD MENTIONED THAT THIS BIG DIESEL RIG HAS A 100 GALLON FUEL TANK AND IF YOU GO TO A REGULAR GAS STATION THAT SELLS DIESEL FUEL IT WILL TAKE ABOUT 1+ HOUR TO FILL THE TANK.
I PULL INTO THE TRUCK STOPS WITH THE BIG SEMIS AND USE THOSE PUMPS BECAUSE THEY CAN FILL THE TANK IN ABOUT 10 MINUTES, THEY PUMP AT THE RATE OF 10 GALLONS A MINUTE!!!!
INTERSTATE 40 WAS THE ROAD TO USE IN THE MORNING AND WE MOVED ON TO RT 95.
THIS WAS A NEWLY PAVED WIDE 2 LANE ROAD THAT TOOK US FROM I40 TO I10.
WE CROSSED MANY STATES FROM ILLINOIS TO ARIZONA WITH NO ISSUES BUT CROSSING FROM ARIZONA INTO CALIFORNIA THERE IS AN INSPECTION POINT THAT ALL VEHICLES HAVE TO STOP FOR.
AFTER A SHORT WAIT IN LINE WE PULLED UP TO THE "BORDER GUARD", HE ASKED IF WE HAD ANY FRUITS, VEGETABLES, FIRE ARMS OR ILEGLE ALIENS ON BOARD.
THEN THE GUARD WANTED TO KNOW HOW LONG WE WERE IN ARIZONA.
AFTER A FEW MORE QUESTIONS WE WERE WAVED FORWARD INTO CALIFORNIA.
A FEW OBSERVATIONS: USE TURN SIGNALS? NOT SO MUCH HERE.
SPEED UP TO MAKE A YELLOW LIGHT, YES JUST LIKE AT HOME.
LOT'S OF NICE OLDER CARS WITHOUT RUST.
ROAD WORTHY AND LEAGLE GOLF CARTS THAT WILL GO 30 MPH WITH WIPERS, LIGHTS AND ALL THE OTHER LEGAL ACCESSORIES. THESE THINGS ARE REALLY COOL AND CAN LOOK LIKE A ROLLS OR A 34 FORD BUT I ALREADY HAVE MENTIONED THAT.
DID I SAY THESE "GOLF CARTS" ARE REALLY COOL.
TODAY I MADE A ROTARY CYBER MAKE UP! FIGURED OUT THE POOL HEATER AND LIGHT TIMERS. THERE ARE 4 LIGHTS THAT DON'T WORK - BULBS MOST LIKLEY -
THE MAINTENANCE PEOPLE WILL CHECK IT TOMORROW.
THE COACH WILL GET THE ROAD GRIME REMOVED TOMORROW AS WELL.
LUNCH AT TOMMY BAHAMAS TODAY. AN AFTERNOON SWIM AND BLTS IN THE COACH THIS EVENING.
LIFE IS GOOD!
TILL NEXT TIME
