September 14 - Yup, Reno. Have an hour and three quarters left, but given the dearth of good places to stop between Reno and Sacramento, I'm not gonna chance it. Besides, I'm about 3 hours away from Yolo, and my appointment at the yard is 16:00. I'd rather get a little farther – say, up in the mountains, but last time I came through (a couple weeks ago) the rest areas were shut down...
It's not AWFUL here.. temp in the low 80s at about 20:00. Might get tolerable in a few hours. Parked for the night at the TA at MM 19. OK, technically that's Sparks, but it's close enough. Been here before – with Darryl – but never spent the night. And, lo and behold, living proof that assholes are everywhere. About 4 stalls down from me, some moron in a moving van is taking up THREE stalls- parked kattywhumpus in two, with his nose poked into the third (in the lane behind this one). At present there are “plenty” of spaces left (maybe 20 out of 150 or so), but in an hour or so it's gonna get cramped.
Why do bobtailers always park at the back of the stall? Makes more sense, to me, to park at the front – so they can be seen and not backed into.
Ever have an episode where you are driving down the road and you see some fresh road kill, all sprawled out on the verge like Bambi on ice... and you think to yourself... “hey, I'm driving a reefer....”
Dammit, my new power strip is 50% non-functional. And of course I didn't save the receipt. Crap.
