Los: When running down the road, the microwave works solely as a storage container for the large popcorn bowl - I can't use it for it's intended purpose unless I'm stopped. Heck, I don't even reach in the fridge for a cold drink while moving, and that one I can reach, lol. :p

Sometimes I wonder how many people really LOOK at the 'blind spot' before changing lanes. Yes, we turn our heads, but that's a part of the routine, [like flipping on the signal] and after seeing nothing the last 10,000 times - well, you know the saying about 'doing what you've always done &...

LOS: My APU is a ProHeat, like yours. I keep a voltage meter plugged into the dash when sitting, [tells me when to crank something up, if truck & APU are both off] and it shows that I need to run the truck at high idle [I use the cruise] even with the APU running, while running the microwave, or...

Dennis: this truck [and anything I drive] does not run overweight, ever. Period. It's not just a legal risk, it's flat stupid to put that kind of stress on the vehicle, and the driver, too, IMO, for a few dollars. It won't be a laughing matter if you're ever involved in an accident while running...

Eight years ago, I considered buying a Sprinter, but decided not to when I read & heard all the horror stories about waiting for parts. A minor breakdown becomes major when you factor in days [or weeks] of downtime! I thought that maybe by the time I was ready to replace the van, the Sprinter...

My first expo was the last one there, too - and no one knew who I was either, lol. I haven't been there much since, [pay to park? No thanks!] except to buy books - I hope they keep selling them. Now, even a Pilot would be nice in that long stretch north of Detroit....

Whatever the outcome, it's time well spent. Waiting for the photos! Speaking of, looks like Looks like the Mssrs [I hope that means Mr & Mrs, but suspect it means Misters - ooops!] Vanman have been spending theirs productively too. It's inspiring - think I'll look at garden sites for awhile...

I understand the carrier's desire to protect the privacy of drivers involved in a crash, [not to mention their own image], but I can't help thinking that keeping it hushhush is missing a 'teachable moment' for the rest of us. It could be a sobering reminder, if we knew how it happened, and what...

Do plates mounted on the front bumper [per state law] have a light? Beachbum: as I said, my violation for having the plate secured on the front was one that required some creativity to resolve - it'd be nice if I could just produce that on command, but it generally takes a couple days to...

Growth, per se, isn't anything really impressive - what's really impressive is controlled and focused growth, and that is one reason we appreciate Load 1. I think John's earned another Jamesons [or two!] ;)

One dry run & one round trip with the return half cancelled, and it was still a good week! Mostly because I got to send a box of goodies to a complete stranger serving in Afghanistan with my cousin Jesse. I hope it's a guy [I just got the name 'Sgt Smith] because I put in some fun stuff...

I'm with Kristi - it's quite the eye opener, discovering what total inconsiderate slobs women can be when no one can see them. I've been known to say "O, GROSS!" when entering a stall that someone just left - it makes me feel better, if nothing else. Here's my 'bathroom stuff can be funny" bit...

You have to laugh at the people who think attracting tourists is all they need to do. Like John O'Groats, which attracts lots of tourists [being sort of the end of the road], but offers nothing for them to spend money on, except postcards. Dull & Boring sounds a lot like that, only even the...

Pearlpro: I'm wondering why you'd make the call - I wouldn't. I'd be too angry, because they have absolutely no right to ask why no one was in the truck when they felt like inspecting it. Really, it's none of their business! I've been known to 'volunteer' for a Level 1 too, like Moose, [last...

Another compliment for Jamie, here - she really is good. :D And a complaint about dispatching short [<200] runs at the same avg speed as long ones - no way to make up for those 'insignificant' delays that happen on almost every 2 lane road: red lights & stop signs, construction, and endless...
