Oh Brother where art thou?

Jan 26, 2014  Warmer 70's and 50's at night, much better

Here we are in Florida and guess who texts and says "lets have breakfast?"   My brother from Ontario.  He is an independent trucker with runs once in a while to Miami and back.  This week he had a run and we happen to be 30 minutes from I75 so we planned to meet at the Waffle House in Wildwood.  He has been driving his whole life and can thread a needle with his truck and trailer.   We are sitting in the parking lot at Waffle House wondering where in the world  is he going to park his rig.......  Then all of a sudden we see him coming through the McDonald's parking lot next door - which is packed with cars.  Never in a million years would Billy drive our motorhome through that maze and here is Rudy a lot bigger and longer slowly inching by everyone.  Once he made it successfully through he parked on the side road (which was his destination).   He was laughing - said he has done it many times before but its not usually that busy!!! OMG.
Just down the street is a different type of shop - I75 Chrome shop -  but quite interesting - who knew there was such a place?  Everything chrome for trucks.  Take a look at these pics....

Outside and inside the store.  The guys love all this chrome!
Every thing for the dashboard
