Agreed but can't rival what I saw last week in the newspaper. "... She acted like some kind of Pre-Madonna...". I assume that's worse than a post-Madonna.

Cruise Update: Got the steering wheel cruise kit installed today and it works perfect. Took about 90 minutes. Bud at Harrison's Garage in Corning , ARK did it for me. He was most reasonable and easy going. Stonewolf was there and helped too. PM for a phone number or other info.

Apparently this cell ban does not apply to vans under 10001 pounds as they are not CMV's. Found at Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Ban on Hand Held Cellular Phones - Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Ban on Hand Held Cellular Phones 4 Q: Are...

Ordered a steering wheel today from an online outfit named Cruise Control Store. They guaranteed that is all I needed. I will let you know how it goes. Stonewolf, please check your private messages.

Anyone know of a shop that will furnish and install cruise on a 2003 Ford van with a 7.3 diesel? Ford dealers I have contacted say they can't do it because of Ford policy. Independent shops claim they can not get the necessary parts, not even from salvage yards. Thanks

I have been trying to think of a safe method to heat and pour hot water through coffee grounds in a stationary system (not a heating pot or other plug in device) while traveling. I want to use the heat coming off the exhaust pipe or manifold to heat the water, perhaps running it through a wrap...

I saw signs around Chicago that cash paid toll charges are going to increase (I think it said doubling the current toll) there on Jan. 1st but I-Pass would not increase. Guess this will cause me to start using I-Pass.

In a previous life I made several trips to Europe on that same passport and up until last week it was a virgin in so far as stamps go. Strange!

Isn't it great that there is still one group left you can make derisive and disparaging remarks about and not run afoul of the PC police? Posted for all my people still in or near Hyden, Cutshin, Smilax and Hellfersartin. Lord I miss Granny Marg's sour milk butter.

We picked up a load in TN and crossed the border at I-29 below Winnipeg on a run to an end of the world hamlet 200 miles above Edmonton. While going thru Canadian customs I was asked the standard drugs and firearms question and replied with the standard "NO". She then asked me what kind of...

I have had a Firestone lifer alignment for past two years on my van. Cost $149 originally. They have done a total of 7 alignments across the country and so far without too big a hassle, added cost or more work. Got to watch then though, last summer one in Toledo told me my right ball joints were...

Thanks OVM. I am currently paying the Cat Co. $1820 yearly for my Qualcom and all it does is track me for their benefit. Everything else could be done via cell phone. I think I will ask them to consider replacing this antiquated system with something of value.

I saw a post (see below) from Iceroadtrucker that he is getting internet service from his Qualcom unit. I tried to reply to his post but could not because he is with a different company. Anyone have more info on this? Thanks Free internet on the qualcom Yupp dont have to by Internet...

In Toledo today and back to Laredo in the morning. Considering buying a house there that way I can be home much more often.

Last Friday I believe it was 11 vans with 8 enroute for a 3 a day board.

When I was a kid I thought bologna was swell. Later I grew to regard it as pink lard in a package. Happily, I recently discovered a brand in Michigan called Kogel's that is great but it is hard to find away from MI. Are there any other hidden food treasures across the USA? Obviously IN & Out in...

I believe the entire Panther fleet is in Laredo and I understand they will soon be moving their headquarters from Seville to Laredo. They are just waiting for the KMart there to close so they can take it over. That place has the the only accessible shade tree in Laredo.

Actually I had them replaced elsewhere at half the cost and then took it to Firestone for the free alignment. I got the van at 142,000 and have put 210,000. It now has 352,000 and running fine. I appreciate the 7.3 International engine but wish the Ford stuff on it was as hardy, i.e, starters...

All good points, I thank you all.
