I don't know how I missed this yesterday . There is a Yogi Bear campground in Sturbridge on the other side of I-84 . If you had known about it before you stopped at the Pilot you could have had a more enjoyable weekend . Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Camp Resort in Sturbridge, MA . They may have...

PrimeTimeRewind - The TV Cube

I in no way meant any criticism . Those serving deserve to be remembered every day . I just wanted to clarify the actual meaning of the holidays .

While this is an excellent post it shows a common misconception of Memorial Day . Memorial day is actually to honor those who died while serving . U.S. Memorial Day History and Information on U.S. War Memorials . Veteran's Day honors all who served . The History of Veterans Day

I get angry whenever I see reports of Hillary's KY victory over and over and over and regular broadcasting interrupted for repeated breaking news of Ted Kennedy's condition . Few posts I have read in various forums have the same praise for Kennedy Pelosi , Kerry , and Reid had . (Please let's...

Any NetFlix plan will get you unlimited free online movies . We use our 37" HDTV at home hooked up as a monitor to our PC to watch the movies and I watch them on the laptop on the road . We still get DVD's in the mail to maintain the free online service and also to get Bluray rentals .

I'm sure many members here have slept in trucks well below 40 degrees without idling . A good sleeping bag and one of those camping propane heaters help . But it sure does suck waking up and having frost on the INSIDE of the windshield !

The article in "The Trucker" gave much more info but I couldn't find it online . Why would OOIDA step in if it just involved daycabs and buses ? I can see where it would easily apply to OTR drivers . Suppose the weather is cold and rainy and in the mid-30's . A driver finishes his day , goes off...
