Cool stuff ..... mmmm ..... wonder what a 10-speed Sprinter would be like ? :eek:

See this and all will be revealed: Standard Mileage Rates

I just read the stuff in your sig line (the blue) ..... yup - we are (already there) Hope you had fun in DC - it can be a fun game to play - especially from the outside :D

greg, Glad to see ya !!!! I, for one, have missed your posts and am looking forward to a little reasoned discussion - as opposed to being bombarded with mindless drivel .....

Huh ? I think the frothiness is taking it's toll .... you are starting to drop out whole words from your sentences, so that what you post no longer expresses a cogent (even if misguided) thought ... Mebbe that's why you are so enamored of copying and pasting the writings of others ...... can't...

Yup - I was raised that way as well - change the oil & filter every 3K miles ..... Old habits die hard sometimes :D How exactly do you measure that ? Have you noticed any measurable change in fuel mileage after changing your oil ? I believe that TeamCaffee also has a C-15 in their rig...

Here's the current analysis. I'm pleased - the wear metals are up, but all still reading at or (mostly) below Blackstone's Universal Averages for this engine type. Fuel dilution is still the same, no water or antifreeze, insolubles remain low, viscosity is within range, and the TBN is still...

At home on the couch :D ....

Nope ...... bright sunshine with hardly a cloud in the sky .... :( I dropped at around 3 AM this morning and was at least 2nd out behind a Bolt cargo van that was at J in Corfu .... I grabbed a decent night's rest .... hung around in Buffalo until 17:00 or so and didn't get a call .... or a...

Chef ..... sounds like you and Barry are really birds of feather .... you could be twin brothers. So .... why dontcha just stop bein' a 'tard ?

I hope to ........ :rolleyes:

At a Denny's in Buffalo at the moment .... heading over to the J in Corfu as soon as I finish my French Toast tho' ....

Yeah .... yeah ..... that's it .... it's the snow !!! :D Mmmm ..... anybody know what's the forecast for Buffalo today ? :eek:

It was a good week - deadhead is usually not quite that low :D ... but I get the impression that they work pretty hard to minimize it. Since the 1st of the year, my dispatched deadhead stands at just a hair over 14% as a percentage of loaded miles (2091 deadhead, on 14,900 loaded miles) Ahh...

Cool ! They called me for a short one this morning ... but it ended up going dry-run ..... which is fine - the dry run actually ended up paying better than if I had ran it :D Down at the Starbucks on US 5 in Meriden, CT right now .... roads here are a mess .... and the snow jus' keeps on...

Paid miles for loads delivered this past week: 3,804 Deadhead miles to pick ups: 145 'Nuff said.

Chicopee, MA after dropping in Selkirk, NY ... Sitting in the parking lot of some local grocery chain, behind the Midas Muffler on RT-33 (just across from the Walmart) ... If you're in the neighborhood drop on by ....:D It's snowing here btw, rather heavily .....

Thanks for the heads up Aristotle - I hadn't even checked it today .... just scoped out the radar and it looks like it's just west of here, all along the western hills of the Shenandoah .... it should be pretty once everything gets covered. Glad I'm not driving in it though.

Weekending at the J in Winchester, VA ..... :cool:

From the quick and dirty department: The coolest one I saw was one a young Russian fellow had built out of a plug-in USB WiFi device and a 6" to 8" wire-mesh strainer/sieve he picked up for a couple of bucks. He mounted the antenna pick up in the strainer, and then could rotate the handle to...
