So far, Illinois is not one of them. There are a surprising number of Blue States listed though. The whole business is just noise anyway, the petitions for the most part have no official backing. If the State of Texas does, indeed, file for secession, that would be something. Disgruntled...

I already am president-elect. The rest of this was just for show, the fix was in as we say near Chicago. The Feds arranged it all behind the scenes, and I'll be taking the oath of office in January. Do you think I could do any worse than the guys we've been electing?

The number of blue states petitioning to leave the union comes as a bit of a surprise. Wassa matter, ya vote for the guy and then ya don't like him??? (Seriously--- New York??? Michigan???? I haven't looked at the last report, but I wouldn't be surprised if Illinois is petitioning too--- and...

It's been a while since the last time I had any Hostess product. While we're on the "workers who don't like it can leave" kick, maybe-- just maybe,-- we should be on the "companies that are badly managed can fail" kick. That includes the companies that are "too big to fail". If it's badly...

Question: You're running a vehicle that is "supposed to be" under 10,000 gross. It's obvious to anybody with eyes that maybe a point is being stretched but you've gotten by with it so far. Today, however, is your unlucky day. You get pulled over by a state trooper. He figures you're heavy...

OK. Simple numbers here anybody can figure out time. I drive a heavy 2500. The GVWR as listed on the door is 8600. Right now, my empty weight, with full fuel tank, my stuff and me in the driver's seat, is just shy of 5,800. I've added some insulation and a plywood floor since the last time I...

It's better to drop the tank first. That way, you can see where to put the hole for "next time". Might as well replace the fuel pump this time since you'll have the tank out anyway. Once the tank is down, measure carefully. You'll need to give room for the fuel pump/filter assembly, any pipes...

I replaced the MAF sensor Saturday, the CEL has been off since then. Saturday afternoon after the repair I did a test run, some twenty miles or so on Interstates 355 and 88 near my home. No CEL, but the engine did seem to have an intermittent miss above 60 mph. Yesterday, I filled up with fuel...

Better have another look at the Old Testament. Last I looked, murder, rape and theft carried pretty stiff penalties. The first two could face death by stoning, a thief could have to pay back three times what he stole.

OK, maybe someone here can give me a pointer on this: I had a check-engine light on, the code indicated the Mass Airflow sensor so I replaced that. Check engine light is off. Now for the weird part: If the CEL is on, the engine seems to run smoothly at all speeds. With the CEL off, which it's...

I am looking for a way to subscribe to this thread, haven't found it. Gotta keep an eye on this one. There is the element of the old "Batman" TV series in it. Will Layoutshooter form his own revolutionary militia? How will he escape government forces this time? Stay tuned, same EO time, same EO...

Wasn't the head honcho of TA/Petro just asking why we don't use them more??? Could be the reason is TA/Petro's attitude towards us. Just sayin'

I was wondering what happens if it does get beyond grumbling. We could get to be like Europe, and you'd need passport and papers for a dozen countries to do our expediting business. Of course it would stop our ability to police the entire world the way we're doing now because no one state could...

We might not need to move anybody soon. As I write this, most of you have already heard about the fellow in Texas who wants Texas to secede from the union. Now, I have just been informed of a move by some in Louisiana to petition the White House to allow Louisiana to peaceably leave the United...

In Illinois, there is not a straight party option. It used to be, but not for the last several election cycles. I think straight-ticket disappeared in the mid-1990s if memory serves. I did vote for Republicans though, because they're the candidates I liked the best-- or disliked the least-- as...

LDB, I voted a straight Republican ticket. So, apparently I escape your wrath since I didn't vote third-party or write in. The difference though,is exactly the same as if I had written in my own name for president and Lester A. Tweevls as my running mate. The reason for that is that I live and...

Great. That answers the question I was gonna ask. I have the "green" hose, now I'll have to see how well it works.

A legend in their own minds. That kind of reminds me of the tale of the self-made man who worships his creator. Of course those psych-today folk are going to declare liberals more intelligent, they're liberals after all. In much the same way that Rush Limbaugh declares himself to be brilliant...

Part of the problem is that you can't pull the kind of power you'd need to pull with the engine off. Heating coils take an enormous amount of power, way more than you'll get from a 12-volt outlet. If you have a "house" battery bank you can pull more power, but if you're pulling from the main...

I still want to know how all this has anything to do with your neighbor wanting to move to Canada if Obama got re-elected, and if he asked you to help him do it since you have a truck.
