I was in Ft Wayne for a few hours yesterday, parked right next to some Load 1 guy. But when I awoke he was gone. I was looking forward to getting his opinion of my new quick-change Möet Mö-öut high pressure shower head. Oh, well, maybe next time. :D

Many Dodge dealers, especially those who weren't Sprinter dealers in the first place, have a hard time getting Sprinter parts through normal Chrysler channels these days. Because of that, those who don't do a lot of Sprinter work have not bothered to find out what the other options are, so they...

There's a whole host of things people just don't get. This is not a revolution prompted or backed by Islamic fundamentalists, the Muslim Brotherhood in particular. Not even close. This revolution was prompted largely by the embarrassment of seeing what the people of Tunisia did. The people of...

Never said it didn't include everyone. But since you hung the above off the bottom of one of my posts, and I didn't recall making any of "the more personal" comments to anyone, I did a quick review of what might constitute "the more personal stuff" and the one I quoted above was simply the first...

My guess is around 5% of the freight would have to go on a straight truck if it were not for the existence of Sprinters. Part of that comes from load board and load bookers and dispatchers, and it fits with what I see out here in general. When I was in a cargo van, it sure seemed like it was a...

If you believe a friendly man you have never met before is your bitter enemy, and treat him like a bitter enemy, why, he will react accordingly and become your bitter enemy. You can then point to him and say, "See? I told you he was no good." That works in both directions, don't forget.

Yup. Exactly.

The more personal stuff? Huh? Oh, you mean like... Got it. Thanks.

My reasoning is, when Obama speaks, there are people who could care less about political or presidential speeches who will listen to what he says. And more than a fair percentage of those are really pushing it for an eighth grade comprehension level. :D

It's hard to enforce the Bill of Rights when you're dead, tho. The people who are assaulting cops are just butt-stupid idiots. Because I gotta tell ya, the only people I know who would assault a militarized, out-of-control roided goon would be butt-stupid idiots. Maybe they do look inward and...

Mumbo jumbo? Would you like me to use smaller words? Was my prose not clear? OK, in my opinion, you singled out someone for ridicule and to belittle them for something they did not even do, because you screwed up and can't keep track of who replied to what, and did so just because you don't like...

These speeches have to be tuned to the audience, ya know.

In a related story, phone calls to the Yeagers have gone unanswered. <snort>

Ahhhhh, nothing like an unbiased report. :D The other day I ate dinner while sitting next to a table populated by four cops. I didn't get shot once. They didn't even slap me around a bit. I was very disappointed that these cops aren't living up to their reputations. <snort> Back in the day...

Neither, really. Loads have to be covered, whether they are long or short. The shipper or the customer could care less how many miles you get or what time of day it picks up and delivers, they only know they need to get the load shipped and delivered. Oftentimes short loads are difficult to...

Well, since there are no asterisks involved, I'm good to go. I've been told that intelligent people can effectively communicate without the need for astrerisks'd words, apparently indicating that if you use asterisks'd words then you are not very intelligent. But Obama could have stood up...

Ooops, I forgot the <snort>

The the caveman days before Espar, I used a 12-volt electric blanket. The next winter I got an Espar heater. Now I sleep very comfortably and warm and toasty on top of the covers, usually nekkid but sometimes while wearing socks, no matter how cold it is outside. :D

My statement stands on its own. Yes, attempting to make someone look small is harsh, especially when it's done selectively. No, Witness' comment didn't add anything to the debate, just as Chef's comment added equally nothing to the debate. Picking out Witness' comment as being some kind of...

I really enjoy reading Maklin's stuff.
