    Actually in an 04 and later Sprinter it's not a big deal. The 03s and earlier don't have a fuel pump in the tank and are really picky about air in the lines. You have to bleed the lines completely and make sure the filter is well primed. For 04s and later, the filter is self-priming. I rarely...

    Secret Service Investigating Photo ....

    No, there is no crime as "shirtcide". But can you imagine the response if the Secret Service failed to investigate this, and one of the people in that photograph shoots at the President? To dismiss it without investigating it would be irresponsible. They investigate everything that is remotely a...

    Idiot in charge

    If they prosecute, though, they are admitting that the doctor committed a treasonous act, which flies in the face of their entire position of being actively engaged in fighting al Qaeda and terrorism, and in trying to locate bin Laden. If they prosecute the doctor for aiding and abetting the US...

    Sad... Purple Heart Medal sold at local pawnshop

    Technically, the Purple Heart isn't earned, it's an entitlement based on the meeting of certain criteria (being wounded as a result of an enemy action). It is the only military decoration medal which does not require being "recommended" to get, as all other decoration require some kind of extra...

    Why?

    Except this isn't about the general election. Not yet. The Primary process is more like a chess game than a general election.

    Idiot in charge

    The reason for not (publicly) confirming a source is to protect the source. In this case it's the other way around, where you need to confirm it publicly in order to protect the source. This puts world pressure on Pakistan, who had been saying all along they didn't know bin Laden was there, and...

    January Banter and Location

    Getting ready to empty move down to Roanoke, because apparently there are no expedite shippers in the Mid Atlantic Seaboard Baltimore New Jersey Philadelphia area.

    Why?

    Well, you answered your own question. It is not only about delegates, it is more about getting out a message to everyone. The goal certainly isn't to win Florida, even if it was strictly about delegates. Florida is only 50 delegates, out of 1144, so Florida isn't all that important in the grand...

    Well, I stole the phrase, "embrace the stupidity" from him. :D I'm sure he will add a few tips along the way.

    Cargo vans and Panther

    Again, remember that "their system and their rules" is "the Stupidity". You need to embrace the stupidity ("their system and their rules"). Learn the stupidity ("their system and their rules"). Be the stupidity ("their system and their rules"). That's not the same as being stupid. The fact that...

    KY Lake Bridge Closed - US68/KY80

    I really don't know. I've been across that bridge a million times. Been under it on a boat about as many times. Likely, however, that ship itself has been under that bridge more than I have. It's not your average barge, and it stands out every time you see it. And I've seen it a lot. That ship...

    Newt Skywalker - The Dark Side of the Goon

    "By the end of my second term, we will have the first permanent base on the moon and it will be American." - Newt Skywalker "Does that mean I'm visionary? You betcha." - Newt Palin Fellow candidates panned the plan because it would cost an insane amount of money. But not only is Newt's plan...

    KY Lake Bridge Closed - US68/KY80

    Two spans of the Eggner Ferry Bridge, which carries U.S. 68 and Ky. 80 over Kentucky Lake between Aurora (just outside Murray) and the Land Between the Lakes, were destroyed Thursday night by the way too tall cargo ship Delta Mariner. Pieces of the Eggner Ferry Bridge on U.S. 68 at Aurora...

    Cargo vans and Panther

    The key to being successful at Panther is learning their system and their rules, because that's what they go by. Learn to make their system and rules work (hereafter known collectively as "stupidity") for you, instead of you working for them. They do things that will seem, and are... stupid...

    Hi All, I have a question about Sprinter Expediting.

    Normal average mileage pay for a Sprinter is about 95 cents a mile, give or take 5 cents, including fuel surcharge and everything. Some will lie and tell you something way different, but it's about 95 cents a mile on the average. Some really do get more, some really do get less, but most get 95...

    For the record I have never run out of gas or diesel. I've put more than 26.5 gallons into a 26.5 gallon tank on more than one occasion, however. :D

    Panther is like New York City. If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere. Start spreading the news.
