You hollerin at me, curmudgeon? I'm in Candler, NC, taking a break on my way to Columbia, SC. Nice easy load, with time for laundry, shower, whatever. But when the load needs running, I can do that too. As Jefferson said, it's just knowing when to take that break, without risking the delivery...

Jeez, Blizzard, would you treat your tools that poorly?:eek: You really need to take better care of your most important tool: yourself. PS I basically live in the truck - been doing it for so long, I don't know how to live any other way, anymore. I have 2 daughters, one in Ohio, the other in...

A moderated forum is a conversation that flows within limits, kept on track [more or less] by the moderators, not an open season free for all. While helping the conversation along, did you happen to notice the post in which one member said "f u" to another, and called him an "azzhole"? I...

John: would that APU happen to be a Proheat? Cause I drive a Sterling with the same Bentz sleeper, [84, not 96], and the APU is a piece of junk, IMO, that rarely works for long. Except for that, I LOVE having the 'comforts of home' on the road - makes it easy to stay out for months on end. :)

You may be right - but either way, it was absolutely uncalled for, inappropriate, and a good example of why moderators are needed. Course, they need to be paying attention .......

Sk8er: I don't know what most vanners do, but I can tell you from experience that not having the means to provide cost efficient meals and entertainment makes life on the road pretty expensive, and not at all comfortable. If you do a search, the subject of inverters & batteries has some very...

If Orville's was all I had, I'd lose weight too - blechhh! Speaking as a lifelong popcorn snob, Pop Secret [homestyle] rules, Orville's drools. :p PS I reported the Asinine one's post, maybe the Mods will take the trash out....props to TJ for refusing to engage.

I didn't do it in person, [wasn't there when it happened], but I once wrote a letter to the local paper to thank the cop who pulled my Dad over, after seeing my 7 yr old daughter get in his van at school. The cop was suspicious, and I appreciated that he wanted to be sure - it could have been a...

Actually, the smoothest way to merge is to use both lanes to the merge point, then take turns [it takes all the fun out of it for the aggressive jerks who like to cruise past to cut in the front], but it's seldom done that way, sigh.:(

Yep, Ohio - is there another one?:confused: Drove east from Indy, was wondering how much worse it would have been without AirTabs.... Then I went to lunch and the bookstore with my daughter in Cleveland, where it was just a torrential downpour, lol.

It was pretty blustery [as Winnie the Pooh said, from the tree he got blown into] when I fueled in Beaverdam yesterday, and the tornado siren was screaming - but the tv didn't interrupt the commercials to explain the 'tornado warning' banner crawling across it! :mad:

Just saw one yesterday, in Rogers, Mn: FedEx CC D unit - even had the bulldog on the hood.:)

Wouldn't you just love to read that he's sleeping next to you? [And you'd splurt your drink out your nose, just like I did when you posted that, lol] :D Short of that, the troll isn't worth the effort of a response... O - I'm near Chicago, letting rush hour rush by without me, whilst charging...

That's not a defense, it's a precaution - and as has been mentioned, violence can be sudden & totally unexpected, no matter how aware one is of the surroundings. Psychotic people look just like anyone, until they start shooting everyone in sight.

Totally agree: it's a special occasion, ok? We can relax, and enjoy the weekend, because we work hard the rest of the time. We should keep the diabetics and other special dietary needs in mind, and have plenty of choices for all. Including buttermilk pie. :D

But the right to bear arms gets trumped by states' rights, lack of reciprocity honoring CCWs, and private/public places forbidding weapons, which leaves us almost literally defenseless. If we could carry concealed, I certainly would!

Happy birthday, Ken! If you're still in Rogers tonight or tomorrow morning, I'll buy you a cupcake :)

Bismarck, ND :eek: Got paid to DH to Minnesota, will head for Rogers later on - maybe have coffee with Moot and/or OVM in the morning, if anyone's still there, lol.
