    Help with Winter Driving...

    To be effective, you need to add about 10% of the vehicle's weight. Probably 500 pounds. A couple of cinder blocks or bags of sand won't have much effect on a vehicle that already weighs a few tons empty. While adding weight to the rear of the van will increase traction, it also makes any skid...

    When you find out the Powerball odds are One in 292.2 million.

    A - learn how to properly quote B - No, it isn't, since you derailed the thread and opened that door when you went off-topic and made it about me with "...than your odds of dating a Supermodel " C - I strongly suggest you get your Green & Yellow freight train back on its tracks, otherwise...

    No to mention countless union contracts that mandate certain levels and classes of employment regardless of demand.

    When you find out the Powerball odds are One in 292.2 million.

    I've posted my resume here before. Basically, musician, dry cleaner, restaurant management, photography & portrait sales, and expediting. I don't even know what that means.

    That's because your (O) is based on severely limited information. You have no idea who I dated back in the early 80s when I worked as a studio musician in NYC.

    When you find out the Powerball odds are One in 292.2 million.

    Yes. It was a joke. :D The odds of winning any number lottery are dependent on the number of balls (or unique numbers) you must choose, and how many numbers you have to choose from (like, from 1 to 59, so, say, 59 numbers). Previously in the Powerball, players chose five numbers out of 59...

    Mechanical Adding air ride

    Air ride used to be rather rare. So rare that customers would request and pay handsomely for it. It's now getting so ubiquitous that the customer is getting it for free, just like so many other things in this business. I seem to recall drivers getting 15 cents an axle, or 30 cents for the...

    When you find out the Powerball odds are One in 292.2 million.

    The time to buy a lottery ticket is the week after a really big jackpot has paid out. Nobody buys tickets that week, so your chances skyrocket. :moneybag::moneybag:

    Quote box color

    You're welcome. :smile: I hesitate to use the term "horrid green," especially since that green is a part of EO's signature color, but the white text on the dark green background in quoted text just didn't work for readability purposes (for many people). What has been happening is, people would...

    POLL How Do You Keep Warm?

    Just touch the plastic/vinyl/metal around where the thermostat is mounted and see how cold it is. The plastic housing where the seat belt retractor is, probably not a good spot. Bare metal, probably not a good spot.

    New hobby

    You can get those at Michael's, Barns and Noble, Amazon. They are not your childhood coloring books, or coloring books based on comic books or TV shows. Nor are they XXX rated fill-in-the-body-parts coloring books. They are stress-relievers more than anything. It's something to do while...

    1st trip out with wife. 1st lesson learned.

    Getting a Friday call in Laredo for a Monday pickup out of Laredo is gold. You're gonna be there all weekend anyway, and if the loads ends up canceling it's no big deal. But when you're told on Friday about a load for Monday, the chances are the load is already on the road in Mexico and is...

    Who's buying a lottery ticket?

    It works in almost all cases, if you're prepared. Virginia is an exception. There are a few others. A few states (like 5 or 6) allow you to remain anonymous without doing anything other than telling them you want to remain anonymous. But even in Virginia you can remain virtually anonymous. In...

    Who's buying a lottery ticket?

    The way to do it is to create a quick LLC with only your attorney's name listed as the contact, and have the LLC claim the money. That way you can remain anonymous.

    Who's buying a lottery ticket?

    The door was opened for that when Rags brought up spending money on dreams. This thread is about spending money on lottery tickets. You want to whine about second hand smoke, start a thread on it, but you will not talk about it off-topic in here, nor will you be able to continue to engage in a...

    CV Insulation

    Only on the driver's side rear door, because I stupidly filled it with mostly canned foam, which retains moisture instead of letting it drain out the bottom like it's designed to do, and has thus rusted out the bottom seam and the areas around the license plate. The front driver and passenger...

    No, I didn't change any EO posting rights. :rolleyes: Off-topic is still off-topic, same as it always was. You want to talk about smoking, start a thread.
