 Left very early this morning and drove to the Love's truck stop in Ft. Myers, FL.  I'll be here until Monday morning.

 Took the truck over to Thermo King first thing and dropped it off.  While they worked on it I did errands.  They were able to find the refrigerant leak and fix my A/C on the APU.  I got it back right at their quitting time of 5 PM.  I took the truck back to the Daily yard in Jacksonville.  There was a JLG man lift on another trailer that was brought in earlier in the week.  I unloaded it from that trailer and put it on my trailer.  It is going down to Fort Myers, Florida.

It has been about 4 years since I have driven one of those so I had to give myself a refresher course on it.  Got it all secured to the trailer.  I'll leave early in the morning.

 Finally some good news!!   I got my truck back this morning.  After getting my truck, and hooking up to my trailer, I drove to Savannah, Georgia, and delivered the generator.  Then I drove to the Daily yard in Jacksonville, Florida.  Tomorrow I will be at Thermo King to get the A/C fixed AGAIN.

 This morning checked out of the hotel and went back to the truck at the Petro truck stop.  Took it to the International Dealer in Knoxville.  They hooked up the computer to it to get the codes describing the reason the "Check Engine" light was on.  They said that a sensor was overheating and that they got a rarely seen code.  They needed to get the truck inside to dig deeper into the problem.  At that point, I knew I would need another hotel room.  I got one fairly close by that had shuttle service. The shuttle turned out to be a local taxi that the hotel paid for. That driver was the worst I have ever seen.  He drove like a maniac and scared the crap out of me.  To make matters worse, the seat belt didn't work.  I was so glad to make it to the hotel alive.  Anyway, I'll be here for God only knows how long this time.

It did it again.  Now my APU air conditioning stopped working. Yes, that's right, the same one that just got fixed!!  I'm in another hotel until Tuesday morning.
