Leaving the channel and entering the "spot" where the Detroit River meets Lake Erie.

The current where the freighter is running is normally between 5-7 miles per hour. Get a wind out of the wrong direction and that water "blows up" FAST! That is a wonderful area where that picture was taken.

It is a matter of personal taste, choice and life styles. I know that there a less expensive parks around the country. NO park, any where else in the country, has the fantastic walleye fishing AND layout hunting in it's back yard. Therefore, for MY needs, no other would work. I work to pay...

I guess it all depends on where you wish to park it. The RV park closet to where I live charges $715, PER MONTH! My house payment, everything included is under $1000. I would still have to pay for the camper, the utilities AND several storage sheds. It is all a matter of needs and lifestyles...

I have had timing chains break on U.S. made engines. I have yet to hear of a timing chain that would not break. What I am missing here?

Yep, and 171,008 is FAR better than welfare. Then again, after taxes, the REAL KILLER of personal wealth, who knows? I do know one thing for a fact. If you settle for a minimum wage job, you get what you ask for. Government/union interference is nothing new. Just ask Preston Tucker. It was...

The ideas are all simple. The ability to put those ideas into action is hard. It MAY come to the spilling of blood, I have said that all along. That does NOT mean that I don't want to at least TRY to do it at the ballot box. Blood in the streets is the LAST resort. It may by the ONLY one. I...

Another good source for weather and news in that area: York, Lancaster & Harrisburg, Pennsylvania News, Weather & Sports - WGAL Pennsylvania's Channel 8

Do NOT wear cotton in the winter. That includes cotton thermals, flannels, chamious etc. They hold moisture , which then evaporates. the human body cools by evaporation. Turtle, that was a picture that I just did NOT need to see in my mind. :eek:

I am by no means saying that things are NOT out of wack, they are. I am more than aware of the mess we are in. I understand how unneeded regulation is hurting everyone. I know how corrupt the banking/government "system" is. All I am saying is, to a large degree, MOST people are in the mess...

DOD clearances are a must. So is being a part of security programs, assuming being leased with FDCC.

Maybe they can't, but I can. LOL!! Why in the world would ANYONE want to fill in wetlands anyway? Why would you want to "fill in" 80 acres? Man, you don't know squat. :p I told you before, if you want more information, advice and suggestions on that land, let me know. I KNOW the right people...

It is all in how you account your money. Here is how we look at what a run pays. A couple of examples below: Sitting at a shipper, no DH, 1000 loaded miles, pays $2000.00. That is $2 per mile. Sitting 500 miles from shipper, DH 500 miles, truck is empty, higher fuel mileage, 500 miles...

Well, as to the DH, 2+ per mile, empty or loaded, makes no difference to me. In fact, I make more PROFIT running empty, DHing to a pick up, than loaded.

I did not take it as wanting to make the U.S. feel "guilty". I took it more as just looking at things from a different point of view. We DO whine too much in this country. Yes, being poor is hard, even here. We in this country have the ability to fix that problem and, for the most part...

All those trucks leaving FedEx sure seem to be helping OUR business.

Shoot Greg, what does the government know? They lump the Great State of Michigan into the "mid-west". WE are our OWN region, the Great Lakes Region. Man, everybody knows that! Except the government of course. Geez, how silly can they get?

They don't need to "protest" to get rid of those practices. They need to start voting out those who impose this stupidity on us. We need to do away with all the socialism and get back to earning our way through life.

I sure seems that way, does it not? People tend to forget, that for the most part, their lives and their success or failure in that life are the result of their own decisions. The choices one makes in life has FAR more control over the outcome of that life than "bad luck" and "being held...

We are using a Hamilton Beach "Brew Station". It does not have a carafe to break. It keeps the coffee hot for 2 hours after it brews. We have had very little mess with this one. Nice not to worry about breaking a carafe. We will often run a cup or two of just plain water through before we make...
