Yea, Detroit is pretty bad right now. I think in the 4 years we have been at this we have delivered or picked up maybe 10 loads total that could be called "Detroit Loads" IF you really streched the area to get them included. Most of the time when we are home we end up getting loads out of...

Well, ALGORE did invent the internet!! In reality he did all he could to stop the internet from being invented. He fought the funding for MILNET and a couple of other project the names of which I can't remember that were the precursers for the internet and were the driving force for it. Of...

Can't bring the gun, too many anti-gun nuts out there. They don't like me hunting or even fishing for that matter. I can remember when those kooks over at PETA wanted to outlaw fishing on the grounds that it was cruel to worms. They now want to re-name fish to "sea-kittens." They think that...

It is my favorite card game. So few play it outside of Michigan. It is a very fast game with lots of table banging. Layoutshooter

Cabela's is not at all what it was like when I started there. It was a great place to work until the Cabela's brothers sold out 49% of the company and turned over day to day opporations over to Chase/Morgan/Stanley. Few of those that were there when I started there, I helped open it, still work...

15 months? Even if you use the so-called "modern" figure of 2 consecutive quarters it has NOT been 15 month. I was always taught 3 quarters. See chart below. Layoutshooter US Economic Growth Statistics | Economics Blog

Are those "Flatheads" OVM? The biggest flathead I have ever caught was just over 30 pounds on the Maumee River in Ohio. I have a friend who has one out of there that was over 80lbs. He is still trying to get one over 100. He had a 50 pounder in the aquarium at the Cabela's in Dundee MI. What...

Yea, We are "Stuck" in our motel room. Clean towels, hot shower. Free Breakfast. The truck is in the shop, should be fixed Monday. Just in time to get out and TRY to get used to "Daylight Stupid Time". I kinda really don't like it. The sun knows what time it is. What a shame the polititions...

Un-employment has yet to hit the levels of 1982. When did this recession start? When was the first 3 consecutive months of negative growth? Much shorter than 15 months. My how they throw around numbers. We are at or slightly above the Un-employment numbers that most of Europe has for thier norm...

Yea, you may be right FlatTop, I just worry about the increased taxes on investment. Maybe invest in the drug trade or illegal guns? Anything to keep the money out of the hands of Obama and Company. Layoutshooter

Wish there was a way to carry my canoe in my truck, there is no room for it though, the hot tub takes up too much space. Layoutshooter

Like that. It would never work though. It is much better to yell at them, belittle them and assume that they are stupid and need to be "governed" to be able to slow down. Heaven forbid you explain the problems and needs and ASK them for possible solutions. Do ya think that some good ones might...

Yea, it seems to be happening more often now. Kinda scary, eh? Layoutshoter

My brother works at the Ford plant in Woodhaven, Mustang plant. They have been working overtime. They did layoff some last Dec. I don't know if they have been called back yet. Things will come back on thier own, they ALWAYS do. Only the government can slow up that recovery. With punishing taxes...

Gee, did anyone ever think about finding ways to encourage thier drivers to slow down on thier own? A most novel approach, eh?

It is up to the manager to insure that they get the best out of thier employees AND the employee SHOULD take pride in thier work, requardless of the wage. Managers need to motivate and encourage rather than force and mandate. It always worked for me when I managed people. In fact, it is easier...

I not sure about some rural areas but for sure in bigger cities bars, clubs restatraunts that were non-smoking would do gang-busters. As would those that advertised being an establishment that allows smoking. We are on the same page on this one OVM. Layoutshooter
