    My truck was abandoned

    I would press charges and hope your insurance is good. Really sorry to hear about that! I would also call Dave Nemo's show and maybe a couple of other XM hosts to get the word out.

    Didn't know anyone went to Kalkaska. I'm right down the road from there. Still at home thinking about jumping in the game. Working the "day" job.

    E150 upgrade to E350

    What if you change the door frame with the tag from a 1-Ton? Ok, I know... but I'm just saying.... Buy a 1 ton junker and take all the parts including the vin and door sticker.. But then again, it would be cheaper to just buy a 1-ton.

    Anyone ever get to Traverse City? I see Vans and S/T's here from time to time. If anyone is ever here, drop me a note. I'll buy the coffee and give you a good place to park. Tawas and Oscoda are the other side of the state from me. I've been told if you find yourself in Traverse City...

    Type 2 diabetes Question

    I've been thinking about getting into the business for a while. I was thinking Van only because I didn't know if I could get a DOT Physical card and a CDL. I'm hearing more and more about truckers with Type 2 Diabetes (not on shots, only oral meds) Does anyone know how hard it will be...

    What happen to A Team?

    We all need a break from off-work activities once in a while. He's still doing the blog most days and from what I read, he's really busy with writing, trading research and truck stuff. He will be back at some point. Or not. Either way, he's doing what he need to.

    Jack, Sorry about your loss. Why do they make dogs last so much less time then we do. I have an 11 year old "puppy" that I'm dreading the day you just had. :(

    Brake Pedal

    Why is it that on some air brake equipped trucks and buses the brake pedal looks so much like the accelerator pedal? Just always wanted to know. I would think they would make it look like a brake pedal in a car or pickup to avoid confusion. Or is it to cause people like me confusion? :)

    mackinac bridge area

    Jack, You really need to have one from some old Finish Grandma. You will change your mind. Pot pies are ok, but can not be compared to a proper pastie :) My Grandma (who is 90 years old now) still makes them like they did for the miners in da UP 100 years ago. No potatoes and no Gravy...

    mackinac bridge area

    Well, I would say you could find some in Mackinac City (just below the bridge).. In Traverse City there is a couple of places that have them but they are not good.. They put gravy in them (yuck) which makes them Pot Pies. Real Pasties come from the UP. By the way, pasties are the ONLY...
