Not win the Series? Shocking! The Tigers are electrifying this season. The are charged! They are riding the current! :p Many in sports are superstitious, baseball players in particular.

Funny you should mention "Sparky". I was listening to a baseball "talk show" and the talking head, I don't know his name, said that he believed in "omens" both as a player and in real life. He said that Detroit is "destined" to win the World Series this season and the sparks off the mask are...

A few nights back catcher Alex Avila got hit in the mask with a foul tip. The pitch was clocked at 96MPH. When the ball hit the mask sparks flew! What I am wondering is what caused the sparks? The ball is leather and lacing on the outside, no metal. It struck the metal on the mask. Was it a...

Yep, rotations will occur. I will be watching my MPG's. I always do.

The old drives had 4/32 left on them. I would have thought that the jump to 26/32 would have made things drop a bit. Not that I am complaining mind you, just trying to understand things that I don't understand all that well. Like what makes a tire "Smart Way"? I was looking at that and...

Yep, not like I have any options! LOL!! I was just surprised that I did not see a marked drop when I put them on. The MPG I am seeing so far is consistent with what I have been seeing for the past 3 years. I HOPE it continues. I like having deeper thread. I am looking to get more life out of my...

It was almost 900 miles. I was under the impression that just the fact that they were new and had deeper thread that mileage would go down some. Two fill ups, 10.85 on the first, 10.55 on the second. The second had several hours of APU time on it.

Well, I have watched our so-called government for a LONG time and have decided that we have to do the following: Change our National Anthem from the "Star Spangled Banner" to "Send in the Clowns". Our government is nothing more than a really bad "three ring circus" and Barry is a sad...

LOL!! You either got your teeth VERY late in life or you started driving REALLY young!

We go to NYC fairly often. Those runs pay good. Money is money. With the toll increases they will have to pay better to cover the costs. That is business. We do what we do. If that includes NYC then it does.

Near Jackson, TN. Pick up here Monday going to MS. Then a Tuesday load from MS to TX. Hope this is a real trend!

OK, I got 6 new gumbies on the truck. I put Bridgestone R280's on the steers and Bridgestone M720's on the drives. I was running Michilen XZA3 tires all around. I got 10 to 10.5 MPG with those. The XZA3 is a "rib" tires. New they have a 19/32 thread depth. The rolling resistance number...

This bill NEEDS to pass. Government agencies are very much out of control. The Federal government has no business in this. Private industry should REMAIN private. Boeing can operate in any part of the country they chose too. That is what PRIVATE means. Industry is NOT a government function. Too...

Dang gum it! It would have been nice to see you again. It has been a while to be sure. Sure hope you had a good time spoiling the grand kids!! :D

Sorry about your father. Welcome to FedEx. Caffee's gave you sound advice. Other FedEx drivers are your greatest resource for information. MOST of us are MORE than willing to help when you need it. As Linda said, ask most questions of drivers in the same divisions. Like surface or White...

We were VERY busy before we went home. I don't post much when I am home, too much fun stuff to do then. We got today's run 3 hours BEFORE we went back into service. Let's hope this keeps up.

Not much passed? Just Obama care. One of the biggest attacks on our freedoms and Constitution in history. That ONE bill is the vehicle the extreme left wants to use to complete the destruction of the Constitution AND the take over of the People.

You believe ANYTHING you want. It is, after all, your right, at least for now. Can't win this one without destroying an entire religion? Horse hockey. The mess we are in started with Lincoln and maybe further back than that. It will end in only one of two ways. The American people...

The ONLY pole that counts is the one in 2012. Obama is beatable. Not that it matters if he is beat. When only Cheech and Chong is running no matter who wins you still have a pot head comedian in office. SO, nothing is going to change in 2012.

We pick on Obama because, for now, he is the Putz running his lying mouth more the the rest. Sure Bush did the same and the left was on him for 8 years like white on rice. Now it's Obama's turn. Too bad if the poor mistreated baby can't take it. Congress needs to go into recess, for good...
