No. No AC, no generator. I did move up to San Antonio. 10-12 degrees cooler across the board, plus there's a nice row of shade trees along the southern side of the parking lot, so I'm parked in the shade all day long. Its the difference between merely uncomfortable, and just brutal.

The mind is a terrible thing to allow to be bamboozled.

Not if you had the brilliant foresight to wax your Sprinter very early in ownership with Turtle Wax liquid clay and Turtle Wax ICE. Hard to find rust spots on mine. :)

Never pass up an opportunity to complicate the simple.

Here's how to hook up two Honda generators to one external tank. The principle of hooking one Honda genertor to an external tank, or a vehicle's fuel tank, is exactly the same.

I'm in Laredo.

I don't really have any links for it. I'd take a lot of what is said at pickup truck forums with a grain of salt, as there are people on those boards who will tell you that a rubber bed liner will generate static electricity and spontaneously explode a gas can. As long as its an approved...

That's actually the way I have always understood it, but I double checked to be sure. What have you understood? Well, sure, some fumes, maybe, but even a can sitting there with the cap removed, it is not very likely to have enough fumes evaporate and then collect so as to be an explosive danger...

I noticed that down in Laredo today it hit 111 with a heat index of 119, and the Memorial Day weekend forecast is more of the same. It dawned on me that you would have to be just butt stoopid to take a load delivering down there on the Friday of the holiday weekend, especially if you don't have...

Not all plastics can generate static electricity. An approved gasoline container also dissipates static electricity, as long as it is placed the pavement before filling begins. Leave the can in the trunk (carpeted surface) or pickup box (plastic liner or bare metal), howeve it is a different...

Hey, you're preaching to the choir, sister. :D There are some people, at least one I know personally, who believe so strongly in the message, that the ends justify the means. Then again, that's not uncommon with a lot of religions and their associated wackos.

I agree. But is it any more pathetic than those who believe that Obama is, in fact, doing a really good job as president? Or those who actually believe that Donald Trump planted a fake birth certificate into the hands of those in the White House? Or that Glen Beck has something useful to say...

Actually, I don't know that I can recall anyone here who specifically defended this group, either, at least not in a publicly posted message stating so explicitly, but defending them and not having a problem with them aren't necessarily one in the same. But for one, as wildly varied as the...

There are quite likely some on here who still don't have a problem with them.

It's the smartphone data plans which are unlimited, at least for now. None of the mobile broadband (aircard) plans are unlimited.

It's part of that whole hope and change extravaganza thing we got goin' here. Walk softly but carry a big sledgehammer, but use it only when necessary, I think. Democritus once wrote, "Throw moderation to the winds, and the greatest pleasures bring the greatest pains." The people who cannot...

Yeah, believe it or not, there are ways to moderate that don't involve the use of a sledgehammer.

In 2005, Paula Radcliffe, the athletics Golden Girl who dramatically abandoned the lead and pulled out of the Marathon a year before in the Olympic Games, won her third London Marathon, setting a new world record for a women's-only race, and besting her nearest rival by more than 5 minutes...

If that were true, as written, then vans do not have to log even when they are carrying hazmat, under 1,000 pounds, requiring a placard. Not trying to be pedantic, but leave out the "over 1,000 pounds" and it's a true statement, as in, "Vans, under 10,000k, engaged in interstate commerce do...

Naaaaa, that's not dragging in something from outside the thread and using it to attack the individual in a confrontational manner at all. Newp, no ulterior motives at work here. <snort>
