Ditto! My wife and daughter both took a self defense class. The instructor was our Associate Pastor; he was recently a Dayton Police Officer and a former Special Forces Leader. Now that we have "Concealed Carry" permits...empty the weapon, toss it down and walk away. A sure fire deterrent...

Thanks for you help. I watch very little TV, but it might be nice to watch my choice of programming instead of the standard "truck stop" viewing in the Driver's Lounge. Here is a product I am considering. It would allow me to use my laptop as a TV. If anyone has had experience with this...

RE: I'M COMING BACK! IS IT ME. OR IS THERE SOMETHI Amen! I am a huge supporter of Distance Learning! Personally, I believe the campus atmosphere is a deterrent to the process of learning. Additionally, I can forego the visuals of seeing my tuition dollars supporting those :( organizations...

RE: I'M COMING BACK! IS IT ME. OR IS THERE SOMETHI Prescat, I agree that waiting at the truck stop is one of the hardest things to do. For me, I developed a hobby; something I really like to do. When I stop I get out of the truck immediately and go inside. I set up my hobby and begin doing...

OK:) My response #24 already addressed the return to topic. It seemed apparent to me that my secondary post negated my single reply that was outside of the original topic parameter. I apologize for that single deviation from the topic. Interesting, no mention of a topic shift to "Truck Talk"...

Blackville, SC on Rt 78 between Aiken and Charleston. There is a BP station in this little town that has a food counter. Everything is carryout. It had the best fried chicken I have ever eaten!

Don, The e-track is configured into the width because it is set at the same height as the flooring. That set up gives me 48" edge-to-edge. Skids slid well on the wood. I also use two 4 x 4 foot sections of carpet turned upside down to help a two skid load slid in smoother and to protect the...

"But you are already sending your,and your children's, and your grandchildren's hard earned money to support a war in another country that did NOTHING to provoke us." Did Germany, Italy, Korea and Vietnam provoke us? Our Commander in Chief at the time (Our elected sitting president, you...
