Right. Great Stuff is closed-cell. No water retention, and more importantly, provides a water vapor barrier. It's billed as a polyurethane, but it's actually more accurately a mixture of polyol, isocyanates, and ether, in kind of a polystyrene-polyisocyanurate hybrid. The benefits of the...

The local zoo was finally getting a young male wildebeest, a gnu, born and raised in captivity in a South African animal preserve, as a companion for their existing female gnu. They were putting the finishing touches on the bran new Gnu House which had several cages inside, and that allowed the...

Open-cell foam will be the R-17, and closed-cell foam will be the R-25. That also includes using the Reflectix and reinstalling the plastic trim panels on top of everything, too. By itself, open-cell foam will be between R-3½ to R-4 per inch. Combine that with the Reflectix which gives a...

A few things about that insulation. In the photographs on the site, the insulation has been spray painted pink so it stands out and photographs better (and to make you think it's "The Pink Stuff" or something similar). What the insulation actually is, is the silver Reflectix insulation that you...

I actually never said that. I also never lied about my voter registration in any way, shape or form. I have never said I wasn't a registered Democrat, because I am. I stated in public that I wasn't a Democrat, which is also true. The only thing that being a registered Democrat prevents me from...

All I've been doing lately is driving and sleeping, mostly driving. I'm on a long load right now. So I haven't had much of a chance to respond publicly or privately, so here it is. It will be my final word in this thread, at least. The man posted contents of a PM in public. I never apologize...

Anybody who knows me at all, even here online, knows how silly I think all this is, and how saddened I am by it. I've said it a hundred times and it clearly needs repeating: Pay more attention to what was said, rather than to who said it. Stick to the issue itself rather than to the person...

There's a difference between a "Commercial Motor Vehicle" and a "Commercial Vehicle". They are easily confused because common sense would tell you they are the same. But the DOT is not one to have common sense. A "Commercial Motor Vehicle" has special meaning for the regulation of heavy and...

Just so you know, Muslims take a back seat to Catholics on the same issues. Look it up.

Thanks all. It's fun to watch the Earth go all the way around the sun. One that I would have been happy to accept. If it swapped, it would have swapped in a place where the high today, and every day this week, would be right around 90 degrees. Instead, I got to take it to a place where Summer...

A year ago when the freight rates were down, Panther's new contracts for incoming vans was 70 cents. It's higher than that now, but I don't know if it's 77 or not. I've heard .75 and .73, but I haven't confirmed that with anybody. Mine's still 77 cents. But there are a lot of van drivers at a...

Good freight area or bad, it doesn't much matter if the Home Depot security or the police kick you off the lot at 1AM. You deliver to a place Friday afternoon. It's a good freight area, but just the same, rarely does anything ship out of there over the weekend. Try spending 3 nights and the...

I know 2 people who have had their transmissions replaced with Silver Star transmission. Both have only good things to say about them. If and when I need a replacement, that's more than likely where I'll get mine. But I have no direct experience with them at all.

You probably should have picked a more obscure "current" Muslim than a famous one that is far more in alignment with the former Muslims who want to be able to convert to other religions without repercussions and have a separation of mosque and state. He's famous for being a so-called a...

I get 20, 30, even up to 50 cents off per gallon at TA truck stops because of my carrier discount. TA and Petro fuel tend to be on the higher end of the cetane range, so I get better fuel mileage when I fuel there, too. I like to park where I'm out of everybody's way, where I'm not bothering...

An eight-member investment group, led by a company called Soho Properties, which is managed by a Muslim named Sharif El-Gamal and his partner, Nour Mousa, who is the nephew of Amr Moussa, the Secretary General of the Arab League. Two of the other investors are the Cordoba Initiative, a...

Doesn't really matter how many people there were on Earth then as compared to now, as all three started off exactly the same way, talking to one and then small groups. All of Muhamma's followers started off initially with his wife, then his 10 year old cousin, then a close friend, and then his...

Muhammad started off with four followers. Jesus with twelve. Fifty is a lot.

Well, it was the lower ribs, but I was still pretty full, I guess. :D
