overnight at another truckstop

Thursday, 10. September 2009, 04:35:04

Continuing east on the journey home from burningman, we are overnighting (boondocking in RV lingo) at another Pilot travel center in Missouri. Just 980 more miles to go. Sometimes we use the trucker
showers at these places. They are nicer then you would think with locking doors and a tiny private room. More about life on the road later.

hotel room net session

Tuesday, 28. July 2009, 04:45:29

room, laptop, work, netbook ...

I'm way up in the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina for work. I checked into the hotel and found this delightful computer desk complete with choice of wired or wireless Internet and flat screen TV. Very comfy! I brought the tomatoes from home. I can't wait to see the cute mountain critters at work tomorrow.

soul food and mexican in south carolina

Thursday, 9. July 2009, 22:25:20

mexican food, sc, gwen franny's, work ...

As I crisscross the Carolinas this week for work, one of my stops was Hardeeville, South Carolina. They have good food and Internet there. Hardeeville has a local net provider and my hotel was connected to it. The upload/download speeds were mind blowing. My cable net connection at home is from a national carrier, and while the download is great, the upload sucks.

I ate both the soul food and the Mexican seen advertised in the following pictures. The soul food wins in this town.

I like the mix of English/Spanish in the images.

in the lobby of a cheap hotel doing wifi

nasty, sc, motel 6, south carolina ...

Another week on the road in South Carolina.

I went to Olive Garden for lunch to fill up on salad, and now I'm in the lobby of another badass Motel 6 because the wifi signal is weak in my room. A guy in a Lincoln pulled up screeching the tires. He ran up to the hotel desk and asked the woman there, "I need a room for 45 minutes, just 45 minutes, you got anything?" She stepped away for about a minute, came back and said, "$20...cash". He tossed a twenty, she tossed the key. I couldn't help but glance into the passenger side of the Lincoln. NASTY! lol.

Love for sale...rooms by the hour.

We'll leave the light on for you.

sucking on some dots in a cheap hotel room

candy, hotel, cheap, dots ...

Sucking on Some Dots in a Cheap Hotel Room, originally uploaded by NCReedplayer.

Dots are gumdrops, by the way. I'm in Charlotte, North Carolina, for work again. I had some good tacos for dinner. The Dots are for a late-night snack. They are low in calories, fat free, and only a few scarey ingredients. I guess fruit would be a better choice, but I wanted candy.
