Today i tried a new tactic, i talked to them for several minutes and when they asked for my current c.c. percentage i said just a minute and i will get it. I then laid down the phone and let them kill their time until they hung up. I...

    New Solution Cures Snoring – And Lets EVERYONE Sleep At Night

    On a serious note my son has sleep apnea and has used a CPAP machine for several years. Last month his doc suggested he try 24 hour Allegra D for sleep apnea. He did and it worked great. I tried them and they worked but there were prostate complications so I had to quit them. Alegra D is hard to...

    I Quit wasting Coffee

    Always throw out coffee from my travel mug because it gets too cool to drink. Someone on this forum wrote about a Contigo brand mug. I got one off Amazon for $18 and I swear it is the best invention since duct tape. Coffee stays hot for over 4 hours even when half full. These things are great...

    Beware the 407

    Just got a bill in the mail for this summer's drive on the 407 just north of Toronto. The amount was $10.70 for 14 km, about 8 1/2 miles. It will probably be more after they add charges for using a US check. Don't think I will do that again.

    New Type QualCom installed

    Got a call last month from the Big Kitty offering to replace my PacMan era QC with a newer style. Went to Seville and two hours later left with a small box I did not understand. It took a while to update before being operational but after some exploration it is most usable and a major...

    Canada Getting searched by Border Patrol

    Yep, I was once asked if I had any weapons on board to which I said "No". Then they asked if I had any weapons at home to which I said "Yes". This lead to a 2 hour delay while I was questioned and had a criminal background check done. I was then admitted into Canada. Since that day I have always...

    Incredibly beautiful area in Ontario

    I had always assumed that Ontario was an OK place but nothing outstanding to look at until today. Took a load to Sudbury and the trip from Barrie northward was a real head turner. Multicolored layers of undulating granite, deep rock cuts with rippling rivers through them, sheer bluffs and...

    Added cruise on Ford 7.3 van

    After 2 years of no cruise I added cruise to my 2003 Ford E350 with a 7.3 in Jan, 2012. Bought it from the Cruise Control Store on line. Cost $429 plus $80.00 local labor to install. Over the past 21 months and 180,000 miles it has worked perfectly. It included an new steering wheel cause that's...

    Bonded Load Question

    Roadrunner, thanks for the link. It was very informative. There were a lot of nits to pick. My top nit was the fact that a van can not haul bonded loads. The next time a shipping doc says In Bond I will not allow it to be loaded without a long talk with the expedite company. Thanks again for...

    Bonded Load Question

    OVM from Roadrunner's link Homeland Security Today: In-Bonds Shipments: A Security Vulnerability Waiting to be Exploited "Bonded cargo is carried in sealed containers or trailers..." Since a cargo van can not be sealed it appears that vans should not accept an in bond load. True?
