Rumble in Gary, IN

Yesterday was just a WEIRD day. The truck has gone wonky. The headlight socket was fried & melted. Got that fixed. It stopped working again and I can't look at it because the mechanic at the TA put it in so tight I can't get it out. The A/C (which was fixed just a couple of weeks ago) is acting up again. Daytime I get cool, not cold, air out of it. But the bunk A/C still works good. But let me not forget to mention...twice I was driving down the road and the A/C just turned off completely for a moment...then came back on. This truck has gotten a mind of her own it seems.

Anyway, I got the headlight (temp) fix at the T/A. While the truck was in the bay being fixed I watched the incoming storm rolling in and the view was amazing. I managed to take some really amazing pics of it with my cell phone.

 

(^this one is my favorite)

What an awesome sight it was! And then the rain poured! But not for long! After they finished with the "repair" I drove back over to the J where I could could get a shower with my points there. Got a dandy parking spot and got myself together to go take a shower and get some food. As I was walking in I had the living crap scared out of me when there was a lightening strike very close by! I probably jumped 3 feet and my heart skipped a beat. It caused the electricity in the J to flick off for a moment and all their electronics were going crazy. Their cc network was down, fuel pumps were offline and the cash registers were slow coming back up. I did finally manage to get a shower slip pretty quick though. Then I kept hoping the whole time I was in it that there wasn't another power loss while I was all soaped up....which there wasn't thank goodness. Apparently that one strike was it. 

Tomorrow morning I'll go get rid of this load and head for the yard so they can figure out why this old girl is giving me so much attitude.

Stay safe!
