    Time for light-duty trucks to scale?

    No one said cargo vans don't pose any risk at all. Clearly they do. But so does a Toyota Corolla. The same tree-plowed and flipped cargo van above could have been a Dodge Caravan or a Ford Explorer or a Honda Prius and the results, and the risk, would be the same to the general public. It's...

    Question Dr. lose child to CPS

    Re: Question Dr., lose child to CPS As a condition of being in the military. You can't have your cake and eat it, too. Don't want to be vaccinated, don't join the military. When you sign up you have the opportunity to express either medical or religious objections to being vaccinated, and are...

    Question Dr. lose child to CPS

    Re: Question Dr., lose child to CPS If forced vaccinations have been present for years, then why do we have a 60% participation rate, instead of a 100% participation rate, as would be the case with forced vaccinations? The answer, of course, is that forced vaccinations don't exist, and never...

    Yep. And it's usually cheaper than anywhere else around. A few of their locations have big truck islands, as well.

    Yeah. Been driving by them for years, I finally stopped in at the newest, biggest one in New Braunfels. For Juju and others who might not know, it's a convenience store, the size of a Kroger (everything's bigger in Texas, but this place is big even for Texas). It's not a truck stop, no truck...

    Question Dr. lose child to CPS

    Anyone not already familiar with CPS, sure. True. But that's still got nothing to do with Obamacare. With no evidence whatsoever? You betcha it's silly. Any idea how big a luzer you look like when you say that? Never mind. Rhetorical. Of course you don't. You can't post sheer ignorance and...

    Biological clue to why women live longer than men

    Precisely. And there is no better, more efficient and proficient mechanism to beat down and weaken the male's mental and physical defenses than that of a woman. :D

    Question Dr. lose child to CPS

    Obamacare? Seriously? :rolleyes: CPS in most states have been out of control for decades. Decades. The first time CPS took custody of a child because the parent smacked the kid's butt in the grocery store for throwing a temper tantrum, CPS has been out of control. This has zero to do with...

    Fan-Tastic Fan 6600R with Remote - Tips and Tricks

    It's best to find a spot up there where you can cut the hole without cutting through the ribs. Most vans will have at least two, sometimes three spots like that. Once you have the hole cut, use mounting putty. They've got it at RV places, and it's what they use it for. Usually in a roll that's...

    Fan-Tastic Fan 6600R with Remote - Tips and Tricks

    Yeah, it does. You can still run the fan during the rain most of the time while it's raining. Intake doesn't work as well because you're sucking water right into the rain sensor, but exhaust works great. Sometimes during light or moderate rain water will still splash in there and trigger the...

    Fan-Tastic Fan 6600R with Remote - Tips and Tricks

    I did get the Fantastic Ultra Breeze vent cover for it. MaxAir makes some really good ones, too. I went with the Fantastic one because it's made by Fantastic specifically for this fan and therefore, because it's got that custom molded indent for the dome lid to fit right up in there when opened...

    Transtater? Really? A science fact version of Star Trek's crossdressing spud? Shelly means "replicator," not transtater.

    Fan-Tastic Fan 6600R with Remote - Tips and Tricks

    I had the same model for 7 years. Loved it. But up inside the knob that you manually open and close the dome with, there is a metal pin that holds the dome fixed at whatever opening you set it to. I somehow broke that pin (being a little too rambunctious, I think). The result was, I could...

    Time for light-duty trucks to scale?

    By definition, there are none. Unintended consequences are unanticipated or unforeseen outcomes that are not the ones intended by a purposeful action. So, the question becomes, what are the costs of unintended consequences versus the cost of doing nothing? As an example, one that I'm sure...

    Time for light-duty trucks to scale?

    Almost certainly, yes. But I don't think very many straight truck drivers are jealous of all the magnificence of van driving. It's just that some (many?) CMV drivers, those who don't understand the reasons for HoS logging and scaling in the first place, are jealous that those little pіssant...

    Fan-Tastic Fan 6600R with Remote - Tips and Tricks

    The La Crosse BC-700, BC-900 and BC-1000 are all excellent chargers. I have the La Cross BC-900 and the Maha (Powerex) MH-9000C (as well as a Nitecore/Sysmax/Jetbeam Intellicharger i4 charger, which independently charges both Ni-MH and Li-Ion chemistries simultaneously, which is very kewl, and...
