    March into Spring 2020

    I almost feel unpatriotic and in denial.....but jeez, is this coronavirus really that bad? Somebody should lasso WOM. Have you noticed wherever he goes, there is coronavirus. Isn't that proof he is the cause of it all?

    Start a new job Tuesday. Concerns over Coronavirus

    Another factor to consider....is going to work any more likely to expose you to coronavirus than doing whatever you will do if you don't go to work? It's all over the place. Air travel might be dicey; but if you stay where you are, you might get hanta virus. Airline personnel are using good...

    2015 Ford Transit Maintenance Costs

    Informative numbers, thanks. What was wrong with your driver door? Mine "pops" during opening, closing. Looks like a part of the hinge is loose, have no idea how to fix/ replace it.

    Tale of 2 Shops

    Wow! on your blower motor price quote. My Ford Transit seems to require unnecessarily difficult access for mechanics ( book time says 7.5-9 hours to replace front struts, includes some dash disassembly), but the blower motor replacement at a private garage is $140, parts and labor. I suppose I...

    Durham Report

    Okay, a quick Google search reminded me what the Durham report is about. I have no insight or prediction, except to note that people who want a thorough investigation to bloody someone are sometimes hurt even worse. Two-edged sword, and all that. Do you have any predictions/hopes/fears for the...

    Durham Report

    For me, and any others in the dark, what is the Durham report? Who, what, why? Thanks, Moot.

    And This....is 2020

    I was honored to be given a tour of OVM's palace in the park. The gentleman knows how to live the luxury life, surrounded by nature and wildlife while having his own team of homeland security agents nearby. We had great conversation, then he grilled his locally trapped pig and deer, plus a...

    Cargo Van Larger or more weight?

    To add to the advice.... Yes, get yourself and your prospective vehicle approved by your company of choice before buying the vehicle. Be certain company knows details of vehicle, including make, model, cargo dimensions, number of windows, whatever they require. Wider space at wheelwell is...

    And This....is 2020

    Just arrived in Laredo. Can't unload until Monday. It's oil change time, then laundry, followed by naps, books, and a little boredom. Anyone else around here???

    And This....is 2020

    Yep, southerner now and a fan of grits. Southern grits that is, hard to find in Iowa. Raised in Michigan on oatmeal, still addicted. To be international, Don, I also looked for genuine Swedish meatballs in Minnesota, but hard to find. I did try authentic lutefish in a Swedish restaurant and...

    And This....is 2020

    In Cedar Rapids now. Nibbles in Waterloo but they died out. Didn't get my oatmeal fix here either, so I might develop oatmeal withdrawal symptoms. (I get an urge to wear a Quaker hat). Only place that makes it right is TA in Rogers, MN and TA in Duncan, SC. And mama's kitchen. Sent from my...

    And This....is 2020

    Awake and bushy-tailed in Waterloo. Might drop down to Cedar Rapids for a big bowl of hot Quaker Oats.

    Say Cheese ...

    Now, now, now. Don't be so hot. Before we get all fired up over the firemen firing off a shot of the fire which could get them fired, perhaps we should answer the burning question....WHY did they do it? I think the smoke should be cleared up before they get hauled over the ashes. Yes, it's a...

    And This....is 2020

    Congrats, WOM and Mrs WOM. You give me hope that my plunge into 2020 next week will be the start of a great year. We all need a full tank of optimism.

    EO friends first, then classifieds

    I'm thinking of turning my Bolt van seat over to a new driver. Before I run something in the classifieds, I'll toss it out to experienced EO vanners who know what it takes. In addition to experienced operators, I'm also thinking of a greenhorn to this industry who might need an opportunity to...

    The Trump Card...

    I know of no reason why the Senate can't conduct a trial. The articles of impeachment are known, what says Nancy has to actually deliver them. Since Senate has sole authority to conduct a trial, it should be done. McConnell should announce a date. House managers could show up if they wished...

    The Trump Card...

    If Pelosi doesn't send articles of impeachment to Senate, thereby preventing the Senate from performing it's Constitutional duty to conduct a trial, is that obstruction of Congress? Since there is no authority for her to do that, is that abuse of her power? Is she violating the Constitution by...
