Neither of these two outfits were as bad or as wonderful as the "Fire Babies" in York County, PA. They ONLY come out during the annual York County Fire Fighter parade and convention. Picture this: (or don't if you have a weak stomach) A bunch of older, overweight, volunteer firefighters, in...

Don't eat spoiled food and it won't come up!! :p

Part of the FedEx stuff had a dead battery. It ruined the test.

My TVAL testing. You know, super secret decoder ring stuff. Temperature Validated is the proper term. Why would you drive a tuna can? Does that not smell bad after a while?:p

Back in Green for our TVAL retest. :(

The British National Health system was in very bad shape when we lived there and that was a long time ago. We were there from 1976-81. It has been dying slowly. The problem there is that the "you owe me" system is so deeply ingrained that it will take a total collapse, or a large explosion...

We had a wonderful time. Expo gets better with every passing year. :)

Some people have all the luck. I, however, do not. :( We finished our TVAL testing today. Everything looked great. No problems with our TCU or the box. THEN, came that phone call from FedEx. They informed us that our equipment was perfectamundo, BUT, one of their secret decoder rings did not...

100% correct. both about what you saw in Germany AND the first 26 weeks. I was talking about the extensions, THAT is welfare. As to the "S" corp and all that, I am honest. That says it all.

Maybe they could put on island on the truck side that could have the smaller nozzles for diesel and one gas pump for you gas guzzlers. I wonder if there is enough business for that? You know, not only expediters but other commercial accounts.

You are right. As long as he is on his 26 weeks that is paid for by the employer, it is fine. AFTER that, when only tax payers are funding it, he, or anyone, should NOT be receiving more. Once taxpayers are covering it, it is no longer unemployment insurance, it is another form of welfare. In...

I sure wish I had one on my truck. That is a very good tool to have.

The point is, you get laid off from an employer that pays into the unemployment fund, you get 26 weeks. That is it. Taxpayer money should NOT be funding more. Why is a PHD special? They can get laid off, they get 26 weeks, they are done too. Period. Why should we hard working business people...

So MY taxes have to go up and the deficit has to grow? Unemployment was never meant to be another redistribution of wealth plan. Once you have used up your 26 weeks, which is NOT tax payer supported, you are done. Period. As to the rest. If one has to do what ever is out there, everyone should...

OK, is there anyone out there that can built "TRUE" custom built laptop computers? Ones that you can get the type and number of ports, processors, screen types etc? In other words, NOT just the cookie cutter places you see on line.

Yeah, but you are "OLD SCHOOL" and, despite your choice in shorts, you take pride in yourself and fulfilling your responsibilities. THAT is the difference between a responsible adult or between a REAL MAN or a boy.

It is a "libtard" socialist term. That bunch teaches lazy and the idea that everyone is "owed" something. They encourage people to be bums and reward them when they become bums. That is how they control people.

We finish up at FedEx today, then we have to head home. :( We planning on being back in service today but a stubborn electrical problem is acting up on the truck. I am losing lights. I have NOT be able to pin down where the problem is, SO, we will put the truck in the shop this afternoon. Darn...

No problem with that here. People are just too dang gum lazy these days. Yeah, I know, it is bad out there. Jobs are NOT a plentiful as in times past. That is nothing new either. I got laid off on a regular basis in 1973-76. At one time I was laid off from 3 jobs at the same time. I worked...

Yes I do. So many think that they are owed this and that. WalMarts are NOT a truck stop. They are a store. IF they allow you to park for extended you should not abuse it. As to the reward cards, that is a marketing thing, they are out for your business. That is one of the ways they go after it.
