That link is FUBARed. This one works. Dumping the Electoral College is bad, bad, bad. People think candidates will spread their attention more evenly, like across the Plains states the same way they would campaign in California or Ohio or Pennsylvania. But they won't. All this would...

Back when I was doing church directories for Olan Mills, I once had a flat tire, left rear tire, while on the way to Hot Springs, AR. It was on that road that leads there from the Interstate. I was on my way to the church, dressed in a suit and tie, jacket was on a hanger. I was driving a...

I charge the house bank with the vehicle's alternator, using a battery separator.

Fuel cap for a Sprinter is like ten bucks. :D Good thing, too, cause the underside of the cap rusts like crazy and the cap needs to be replaced annually.

We cargo van expediters may be a very small segment of the trucking industry, but we're a vocal one. :D One problem with the Pilot Driver Payback card is, it's not registered to an individual (so if you lose the card all your points go with it), but the Flying J card is registered to you. If...

No, not jumpin' off a cliff, but other than keeping the lounges and a few other things, everything points to things being done "the Pilot way". The RV dump, that's a Pilot thing. They took out the fuel desk at Black River Falls, a Pilot thing. At the above Flying J's, you can go to the fuel...

Correct, Guido. "Purchase a total of 50 gallons of diesel fuel or gasoline in 5 consecutive days and earn a free shower credit that lasts for 10 days."

Here's a nifty little update that should thrill beyond words. Notice where it says it's temporary, and then later on it says a very open-ended date of "until further notice". I think "until further notice" means "until we merge the two programs into the Pilot Driver Payback program". <snort>...

There are rattlesnakes in Texas, south Texas especially. Tarantulas, too. They're all over down there, and it's all but impossible for any business sitting in the middle of the scrub brush to control them. For the TA to put up a sign saying "Beware of Rattlesnakes" (especially on the hearsay...

Mine's a freight-capable RV. :D

If you have an Expedite King card, it has already been automatically rolled over to a UltraOne Expedite card, same account number. I would assume the regular Road King card is being converted to an UltraOne card, as well. You may or may not have to actually request a new card. I called...

Dood asked... "after all expences taxes everything". That would include all taxes, food, clothing, tooth paste, everything. Everything is everything. No way you are going to bank, and not touch, thirty grand in a cargo van.

I've been following this story since it began, from Gulf newspapers to newspapers near the Kennedy Space Center (where the incubators were in storage), to the rather good coverage from Discovery.com. Once the turtles hatch out in the incubators, they get taken down to the beach and released. The...

You're better off using a computer as a computer, and a GSP unit as a GPS unit.

For a $120, I personally wouldn't take the chance. The reason is, the way the law reads, if the magnetic signs come off to reveal permanent lettering, there ya go. But, you've never been pulled over. I made at least 20 round trips out there and only got pulled the once. On the other hand, the...

Perhaps. But at least it's honest. Apparently I misunderstood what you meant when you said, "Any input or direction would be greatly appreciated." I didn't realize you wanted a rosy picture instead of the truth.

Pretty much the same thing. Silica is an oxide of silicon. While silicon is the most abundant element in the Earth's crust (25% or something like that), it is rare to find it in pure form, and is most often in the silicon oxide form known as silica. But it's a very, very hard material, most...

In New York, any vehicle designed, maintained, or used primarily for the transportation of property or for the provision of commercial services is considered a commercial motor vehicle in that state. That's for vehicles registered in New York. Vehicles from other states operating in New...

Not to put too fine a point on it, but if you owned a small expedite company for several years, and have only been out of the business for two years, you should know that none of the expedited companies are located out west, and all of them are weaker in that area. You should know where the...

The first thing to be affected by a dam is the flow of sediment, which is usually picked up along banks and stream beds and carried downstream. Sediment collects behind dams, rather than continuing to flow out with the river, and as a result, the water bed below the dam eventually becomes...
