6/15/2011 Starting with a Fill Up

Fill 'er up! Eeegads! It doesn't matter if gas prices are coming down . . . A 50 gallon tank costs a lot of money to fill. This is our first time to really "fill it up". We had to stop at a Penske service place to learn the trick for getting the tank more than 3/4 full. Now we know.

Who's in the driver's seat?? This is a staged photo. I drove the truck for the first time today (we just got me put on the approved driver's list yesterday at the Penske place when we stopped to learn how to fill the tank). But I only got to drive it 25 feet forward from the gas tank to the yellow line where you pull up. Karen was inside the truck stop getting breakfast and there was someone behind us. So the big debate is: do we share the driving or does Karen drive the whole trip just so she can say she did? Well, she drove the first two days. (Day 1, I was flying to Greenville and she was driving, so there was no choice and that's what started the idea. Plus I wasn't on the approved driver's list. Day 2, I got on the approved driver's list about halfway through the day, but then we thought of this idea of her driving the whole trip.) We'll see what today brings.
