My idle time is high. My company wants me to keep the truck off. I've played this game for over four years. I do not have an APU. I need one. I have a studio sleeper and run a lot of stuff. Keep the truck off for more than a few hours and the low voltage warning buzzer reminds you to turn the truck on. Last night I decided to be a company man - a suit without a suit. It was humid, but a nice mild Louisiana night, here at the I-20 "Welcome" rest area. Other than the cooler, I shut everything else off. I rolled the windows down a bit. It felt strange without the engine on. I did not have the usual "breeze" of air from the fan and ac that runs, even in winter. I tossed and turned a while, even after taking an Advil which usually settles me down. I fall asleep. 3am the voltage buzzer goes off. I knew it wasn't the alarm. I couldn't open my eyes. They were "stuck" together. I managed to open the bunk curtains, reach forward through the steering wheel, and key the engine. I turned on the ac and the fan. I fell back asleep. I woke up about 7:50am extremely itchy. I'm always itchy, but this was extreme. It seems during the night the local mosquito's decided to make me the featured item on their dinner menu. I must have been delicious. I intend to spend most of my day driving and itching. Tonight the truck stays on.
