I delivered one load with the van sitting on a flatbed, after the alternator went out en route, and there wasn't time to repair it. ConWay Now paid for the tow to the consignee.

Barney, that's brilliant! And since it's your idea, I think we should put you in charge, lol. (Hey, you asked for it :p) Seriously, though, it IS a good idea - maybe we could form a 'Cookbook Committee', solicit recipes, and have them published in time for the next Expo. The only fundraiser I...

India, you're awesome! Now I can make tacos, too! :D:D:D

For posting about her rice cooker - something I'd probably not have bought otherwise, and it's become indispensable now. :D The other day, I made ham & au gratin potatoes, which turned out nicely (layer thinly sliced potatoes, peeled or scrubbed, with thinly sliced onions, shredded or cubed...

Col, no one would ever accuse you of extravagance, :eek: but you can be generous, I bet - did you think 3 gallons enough?

I hope he's making lots of money, but I miss him, too. Whether you agreed with him or not, he always had an interesting perspective, at least.

That so many voters are convinced that a third party candidate can't win, (& therefore won't vote for him/her) is what makes it a self fulfilling prophecy. I think we can agree that both the major parties are guilty of forgetting for whom they are supposed to be serving, and yet, we continue to...

I'd buy stock in whoever makes orange barrels - I'm sure I see a billion of those every day. ;)

There's a loophole in that "not adding any vans" rule: most will accept new units signed on by current leased O/Os. So even when they say they aren't adding vans, they may be.

Cindy: I'm very sorry to hear of your loss, and wishing there were anything I could say or do to help - but I know there isn't, really. Stay safe & sane, my friend.

They're generally found in posts by Moot, Turtle, & Highway Star :D

But if you both think exactly alike, then one of you isn't necessary.....:p

I'd call the folks at Alumibunk, in Ft Wayne, Indiana. They do a lot of fabrication for trucks, including Sprinters, so they might could fix it up for you.

It's a deal, Chef. (But it's only a duet if I can bring some helium!) ;)

Chef: compared to some of the posts we decipher, yours are a model of literate writing, lol. Ya know, your mention of karaoke reminded me of what's missing from my weekends: fun. There's no dancing, or bubblebaths, or rollercoasters, or tubing down a lazy river any more. I thought I was...

Considering how often the "experts" on financial affairs are dead wrong, it would seem that any effort to plan one's actions according to their prognostications is guaranteed to cause a spinning head & upset stomach.

Even stupider are those who believed what he said was true, and rushed to sell their stock, I'd say. And those people vote. :eek:

Thanks, Dave. :) EO Land? Sounds like a sitcom, eh? We've got a whole crew of smartazzes, and a chaplain, and an administrator who probably rips his hair out on a regular basis, [reading some of the comments here], and a few who try their best to remind us that WE ARE PROFESSIONALS dammit - act...

That last line probably explains why I didn't make 50 years....[but I made 17!] :p Congratulations, Prof, on a great story, a great marriage, and a great gift - you know she'll use that hip, lol. The grandfather clock sounds lovely too. :)

A good week is when you've earned more than spent, and kept the shiny side up. :p The latter was no problem, but the former was a bit tougher for me, in a van. Bruno: I was NOT a pro, clearly, or I'd still be driving the van, eh? I am doing much better in a straight truck, and anyway, as Highway...
