    The Trump Card...

    Most of the polls are showing that Trump is rising in popularity, well into the 40 percent range, from the middling 30s. despite the OmniBS bill he signed last week. The popularity seems to coincide with Stormy Daniels and the Playboy Bunny (sounds like a Saturday morning cartoon, but I don't...

    Sprinter/Transit/Promaster window insulation set

    The window wrap is also good. Certainly better to not let the heat into the van through the windshield in the first place. I went with the NASA option because... NASA. And the fact that if I had the window wrap, every load I'd get would require me to exit the van in a hurricane in order to...

    Sprinter/Transit/Promaster window insulation set

    I have the same thing. It's great. It's the same exact layered material that insulates the Mars Rovers, many satellites, portions of the Space Station and other things NASA. I also ordered an uncut sheet of it and cut a piece to insulate the roof slope above the headliner to eliminate...

    March of Load One

    I talked with Wayne He's out of them, but will have some in on Wednesday. I'll get one of those. Whatever it is. Amazon has an OEM one for something like $170, and a good aftermarket one for $117.

    Espar blower motor died on Friday. At 4000 hours, which is a little on the too-soon side. Average is about 5000-6000 hours. But I have had them last 8000 hours. 38,987 hours on this unit. On my way to Columbus when it died. No one to look at it until Monday. No big deal, the van has heat. Not...

    The Fake News Depot

    On Fox News Sunday, in a lead-in to the story about the Pence bunny rabbit and the bunny book, Chris Wallace said that this is the first time in 150 years that there wasn't a pet in the White House. Helllll-ooooo?!? Kellyanne Conway! I think Trump should get large rat for a White House pet...

    Place you felt the least safe in

    They're confusing "firearms" and "radar detectors." It's an easy mistake. :D

    The Trump Card...

    As is typical of liberals, Brennan is excellent at accusing others of doing what he himself is guilty of... Brennan ripped Trump as "mean-spirited and dishonest" and said he has "shown a lack of integrity [that] demean the office of the presidency." Ironically, despite what Trump has said...

    Place you felt the least safe in

    There is no federal law prohibiting a firearm in a Commercial Motor Vehicle. If you are legally licensed to carry a gun in the state in which you are driving you're good to go. To find out which states will honor your CCW permit from your state, go here...

    Hampton Roads area of VA and Richmond VA

    That looks to be coming Wednesday morning. I'll be outta here by then. I'm at a Walmart in Newport News (at US 60 and US 258). Picking up a couple of miles from here in the morning, heading up to Kittery, Maine.

    Another sign we don't have long

    I think the autonomous mode monitor and whoever at Uber put that car on the road needs to go to prison. By the end of the week.

    Another sign we don't have long

    In other, other news, a self driving car (with an operator behind the wheel, but the car was in autonomous mode) with Uber hit and killed a pedestrian in Tempe Arizona. They really need to get this technology out of beta before putting it in the roads. This ain't the Internet or some phone app.

    I have an 05 Sprinter. If I were to get another van today it would be either the Transit or the Promaster. Don't want anything to do with the regen crap.

    The Trump Card...

    He hasn't been much of the focus by anybody, but I've been saying all along that Brennan is deep deep into it all. He's in the mold of Allen Dulles (Brennan personal hero and first civilian director of the CIA, the guy who wrote the manual on how to run a Secret Government) who thinks the ends...

    If people got a DING! notification on their phone every time they were put on reserve, they'd throw the phone out the window after a few hours. :eek:

    The Trump Card...

    A small but important distinction, one that is often overlooked by the media, is Judge Rudolph Contreras didn't recuse himself. He was recused. The chief judge of the District Court is the one responsible for assigning cases to the District judges (to prevent judge shopping, equally distribute...
