    While sightseeing recently in Florida in a rental car, we discovered a FREE beautiful public Beach with a 1200 foot Fishing Pier and public restrooms. Amazingly there was ample free parking where there were several Bobtails parked... Maybe they dropped their trailers at the...

    How to remove overhead interior insert on Kenworth T660?

    I am wanting to install a CB in the left overhead cubby hole located above the sterring wheel. I was able to remove the facing trim but something is still holding the insert. The factory provided center tray for the CB is already in use.

    TA suxxx

    We were in a WG DR unit and had been parked there for about 6 hours. It was about 2AM when the guy woke us up. I was shocked that they would bother a FedEx truck being that they are that close to Memphis. The Manager told us that the lot was for RV's only and since ours had FedEx Logos on...

    Medical bill paid with pennies

    I knew a fellow several years ago who paid his state tax with a wheel barrow full of pennies. When he wheeled it into the local tax office the axle broke over the threshold and the pennies spilled onto the floor. Three agents counted for hours the coins and came up a couple of...
