    For Dog Lovers: Beware AIHA

    Don't beat yourself up about it - we have been going through the same thing and came to the conclusion that it was meant to happen and we can't change it. We thought at first she had a slipped disk in her back but that wasn't the case. She had a tumor on her adrenal gland and that may have...

    For Dog Lovers: Beware AIHA

    Pilgrim, I'm sorry to hear of your loss. My wife and I lost our beagle/basset last week, which may have been caused by this disease, she went downhill fast. Our beagle has taken it hard and last friday his doctors stopped his chemo treatment because the tumor grew for the first time in 8...

    Anyone tried the 19.5 tires on a van?

    Had a set on my 3500 dodge which went with the truck when I sold it. The increased load capacity is nice, the tire doesn't heat up and runs smooth. The life is that of a truck tire, the owner of the dodge sold the set to another mutual friend and he got 275k out of the set. The only...

    Economics E.O Style

    But Sue, the employment end of it matter less when the strength of the dollar and an issue of how we lessen our debt matters more. IF we didn't have the debt, we wouldn't have the issues we have today, which is inflation in energy and food. Coupled with the fact that as Dennis pointed out...

    Economics E.O Style

    But you noticed I didn't say that small business are not the job creator, I countered Sue's point that big business is creating jobs which it isn't. In his case, he may expand but likely not. It is because of the unconformable feeling within the state and the need to hedge against the...

    Ah, the Police - To Protect and Serve

    I agree with everything you are saying but I am talking about what the intent of freedom of the press was when it was written. We each are the press if we choose to be (blogs, forums, standing on the roof of your house yelling out events - any way it is broadcast to the public), there is no...

    Ah, the Police - To Protect and Serve

    nope not at all, just the opposite. I have been accused of siding with the government a few times to justify the 'trampling of our rights' and this is one incident where I feel extends into the the realm of what many consider a profession, reporting an event.

    Load Checks evry 150 miles?

    The feds regulations are not the ones that states have to follow, they can and do create their own. An example is the CARB laws and how ALL interstate trucks have to abide by them. THIS actually has an over reaching effect on how a state can impose other regulations onto an interstate operator...

    Rooting a droid

    I heard this the other day, it is a bit off subject but... people who purchase an iPhone from the darkside own the hardware but the software is owned by apple.

    DEF or Diesel Exhaust Fluid

    Because unlike WW fluid or coolant, DEF is consumed to make the truck go.

    Rate per mile?

    I can understand when licenses were foot loose and fancy free but now under our present system of licensing and the way insurance is paid for by the contractor, I find it ironic that a carrier would actually make someone drive their van (truck) to see if they can drive their van (truck).

    Ah, the Police - To Protect and Serve

    If you are expecting me to defend it, think again. The cops violated not just the rights of the guy they killed but also the rights of the individuals capturing it on their camera. They are the press as far as I'm concern and the violation is clear that the cops violated their first amendment...

    Economics E.O Style

    That is all true but as I said the fallacy that we prop up our exports and in turn will produce jobs is just that - a fallacy. What I mean is explained later on, the jobs don't come because we have been catching up to production and when we do, we don't use old technology nor do we use old...

    Rate per mile?

    Why would you have a road test when you are paying for the insurance?

    Economics E.O Style

    Employment can't solve the problem. There needs to be changes in the structure of the government with regulations and taxes first. The problem with that goes back to the issue of employment. The key cause of not hiring is the uncertainty and lack of confidence with the government to stay out...

    Van fuel pumps

    When were any fuel pumps mounted to the firewall? Ever think of putting in a backup system? Like a Holly HP pump in parallel?

    Palin's Paul Revere

    But Cheri, tell me who isn't? I can't take her seriously because of a number of reasons, mainly her reality show and the idea that she needed to tell us about her life and how she enjoys it. Not what I would call someone who has leadership qualities.
