RE: This has Cheri's (and others) name written all Hey Moot: I think the guy who drives that red van with "free candy" written on it, that you posted a photo of here somewhere, just blew his cover! :o

Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven"

Moot: I sincerely hope that you're an organ donor - that brain of yours is priceless! ;)

RE: This has Cheri's (and others) name written all And to think this brilliant man was probably considered a 'geek' all through school, while the guys who could play ball were hero worshipped... Thanks, Leo - it's reassuring to read that some people still have the "right stuff", lol.

"Hot freight"!

Excellent point, Leo: threads are often like a conversation, and twist and turn and meander here and there, or go off on tangents - but a simple request for more pertinent replies would work, I think. It's just the Col's way, of typing can make people feel "put down", even if it was...

Greg, your posts, looong or short, are on my "must read" list - keep it up! :)

Did it say dark chocolate only? Because that's what I read - and am forcing myself to eat some every day. I went to the Doc this morning, and my blood pressure was 102/70, so the chocolate helps, but I'd actually attribute it more to NOT reading an article on traffic congestion (and especially...

Isn't it funny, how you get so used to adjusting, and compensating for the 'backwardness' of everything, that you forget that you're a southpaw - until you get flummoxed over some really simple thing, that just doesn't work for you? :+

Turtle's point is valid: if you are simply too tired to remain alert, don't drive. But when it's a case of sleepiness that's due mainly to boredom, then high energy music or snacks, or something that requires attention, such as a phone or CB conversation, an audiobook, or listening to a...

Colonel: if someone forks over 55K for it, then: it's worth it, no?

I don't care who you are - that was funny!:P

RE: Court's response to OOIDA sleeper berth petiti There is also the not inconsiderable matter of traffic congestion, and construction slowdowns, to figure into the equation - the same number of miles takes a lot longer to drive than it used to, and it's time that drivers can't use productively...

Louixo: I still don't know how you manage to find so many gems, in all the flotsam that's on the net, but my hat's off to you - this is going to be a favorite of mine! PS I'm emailing it to my son in law, who does tech support, so the next time I need to call him, he'll know I'm not the worst...

RE: CONFUSED!! Apparently, the Colonel misread, thinking Turtle was referring to himself as 'one of those guys with nothing but bungee cords'. If the Colonel were to check out the posts and photos Turtle has put on the Truck forum, he'd know that Turtle's Sprinter is the envy of many - with...

RE: CONFUSED!! Turtle, sorry, got no photos, but this is how I secured those '3 drums on a pallet' loads: 2 long ratchet straps, each wrapped aroun the drums, and secured on opposite sides of the pallet - meaning, in front of the skid with the first, behind with the second. The countertension...

RE: CONFUSED!! The CAT scales are a big help, and at $8.50 per, it shouldn't take too many times, before you figure out where to put the weight in the box. And to remember to include the weight of the fuel, too. ;)

Turtle: we're more likely to find out, from you, what the thong feels like, going in one ear & out the other...;) :P
