    Antonia Scalia dies

    They're almost certain to, because Obama will send them a parade of liberals, none of whom will be palatable to a conservative Senate.

    Not much to report. Enjoyed the room and the lobstah, then went home last Thursday. Since then, getting the rust repaired over the windshield so that Safelite will replace it, then I can get the van inspected. Taxes done as well. Tentative return to duty on the 22nd after refund comes in.

    Cargo Van Upfit to Van

    To earn points with the PFJ card, call the number on the back of the card and tell them you're an expediter. Only downside to it is that you hafta go in and prepay. After you do, you get points as well as half-shower credits.

    Come Join Our Journey!!!

    I'll give you a break from all the nonsense going on, by asking a question about something that actually matters: how is that truck working out for you? E.g., how's the fuel economy, have you had any problems, especially expensive bs-type problems, and so on. I'm thinking about getting one, as...

    Yup. 400 pounds into the danger zone. Even the illustrious T1N Sprinter qualifies for the hammer of Albany, by a mere 50 lbs :( It's a beautiful place to visit, but unfortunately New York is, in a lot of respects, a fascist state :mad:

    Yellow Ford, idling peacefully? Yup, that was me. Tonight, cannot idle because I'm in NYS and I was advised that it's actually a misdemeanor, in other words a crime, to idle!

    How many trucks/commercial vehicles have you owned in your lifetime?

    As an expediter, the Yellow Submarine is my first. In my courier life, I had a 1999 Dodge and a 1994 Ford. The Dodge was a money pit; the Ford was great until the tinworm killed it :(
