I'm guessing most days for the next month will be like this, rolling by daylight and rushing to get somewhere before dark. Pretty much down to 10 hours of daylight.

We both needed fuel, BB stopped across the street at WalMart then followed me down to a BP where it was supposed to have been $.20 cheaper. It wasn't. But because of time, I filled it up. An hour and a half down the road diesel was $.20 cheaper but now I didn't need any.

First stop was New London at a Love's. Mostly because we had planned on stopping for fuel and didn't change our plans when we filled this AM.

Almost no traffic going through St Louis this AM. Just past, we stopped at Mascoutah. I thought there was a McD's there but it was three miles off the road so we ate at a Huddle House instead. We were in and out in 30 minutes so no time lost for a sit down.

A few miles back my engine icon light came on. Luckily dispatch said to keep running and see if it goes off. Glad I haven't had to abandon the RV yet, but will likely have to drop it at an dealer somewhere closer to my drop. No issues, just a light.

I didn't feel like pushing it, so I put in a couple of gallons while we were stopped. Enough to get us to Benton. I knew where the Walmart was and was looking for their gas prices. Saw the Casey's and it was less ... missed the Phillips across the street where gas was a penny cheaper and diesel was three cents cheaper. It all adds up.

Enough over two hours to Clarksville that we stop one more time, this time in Paducah at the rest area. By now we know it will be dark again before we get to the motel so we speed up to 65 mph. I've gotten my mileage up to 14.5 mpg, but I don't think that will be enough to offset the 90 extra miles I go out of route to drop off BB's RV first.

Supper tonight was McD's, motel is Comfort Inn. Other food tonight could have been Subway, where we ate yesterday, or across a busy street at the Waffle House.

In our first room tonight, we walked in on someone who hadn't latched their door, fully clothed. Then next room they gave us, the toilet runs so we have it shut off so we don't have to listen to it all night.

No scales, no traffic, no stories. Just push, push, push.

Lots of the runs we were looking at for a next leg are now gone, new ones should be on the board by Tuesday.
