Most of the time when I'm sleeping I'll have it blowing in. It's right above the bunk. I'll put in the window vents in the side windows, so the incoming air has a place to escape. I've found that when it's particular sunny and hot out, turning the van into an Easy Bake Oven on wheels, the heat...

Actually, no, it's not a fact. For a fact to be a fact, it must have occurred in reality, and if we are ignorant about it, always were and always will be, then it did not occur in reality, and therefor cannot be considered fact. If something is not known, has never been known, will never and...

Ya think? LOL Considering all the yelping she did as the Arizona governor about the Republicans not being able to do anything about immigration there, and now that's she in the position to actually do something about it, she can't even get the first step off the ground.

Ah, the stories I could tell (and have a time or two here). I used to teach sanitation, cross contamination prevention and food handling safety in the food service industry. I've gone off on more than a few food handlers in truck stops and other restaurants out here. The folks at the Pilot's...

Fan-Tastic Fan Roof Vent. Rain sensor, 3 speeds, blows in or sucks out.

Well, not really. When automobiles first arrived, the tort notion of fault was so deeply embedded in our legal system around 1900, it was taken for granted that the origins of automobile law would rest on a fault system. When an accident occurred, fault would be determined, and then liability...

Depends on the carrier. Some do, most don't. For most, it's all about what will fit as far as dimensions and weight, since the customer is renting the entire truck, whether it's one skid, an envelope, or more than 2 skids.

Depends on the contract. Some will let freight forwarders broker the load to one carrier, but it cannot then be subsequently brokered out to another subcontractor. As for the actual carrier's cargo insurance, many if not most BOLs state a maximum value of a really small dollar figure for...

You start picking off Mexicans in the desert like ducks in a shooting gallery, and that will, absolutely, put a serious dent in illegal border crossings. The Berlin Wall proved that.

"Boom and the leak stops." Holy crap, what a moron. You can blow up a burning oil well, where the explosion extinguishes the fire and you can cap the well. But if you do that to an underwater well, well, for one there's no fire to put out, and "boom and the leak stops" really means "boom and...

That's why I didn't hesitate to mention it, in straight-up guilty fashion. I shouldn't have done it, and am sorry for doing so. That's why I went for the link once I saw that someone was actually interested in tacking it down. I try my best, but I have character flaws. I will continue in my...

Well, I'm right there with the MSM on Bush. Knowing full well how big and strong Katrina was, and when it was gonna hit, he shouldn't have been in Crawford when it happened. But it was that goober at the head of FEMA that is really to blame. He was flat out incompetent (nor even remotely...

I sat at the Kingman J one day when the wind picked up. Was going to go back up and check out the dam, but the wind made it not worth it. While I was sitting there I watched a tractor-trailer be blown over while waiting in line to get fuel. That prompted me to turn the Sprinter into to the wind...

They've shut down Times Square, or portions of it, several times over the last few years for suspicious vehicles. One was when there was a parked van with blacked out windows parked for 3 days. I park there for 10 minutes and get told to move it, but this one sat there for three days. Sheesh...

Well, yes and no. Mobil is not my sole source of information. There's a company called ANA Laboratories who has oil analysis labs in several cities, including a research and teaching lab at Murray State. The problem, many people will change oil, or not, based on the difference between the...

I have to many typos myself, it's just fun to see it in others. :D

I don't know that response comparisons between this and Katrina are all that valid. We knew Katrina was coming for several days before it hit, and we knew how bad it was likely to be. The response was quicker, sort of, than with the spill, but the response was woefully inadequate compared to...

Do they have sock hats, too?

I was going to follow up with a "Bueller? Beuller? Bueller?" type of post, but I didn't want to come off like I was picking on him in that thread. Clearly, picking on him here in a completely unrelated thread is much better.

From what I understand, they don't publish a TBN for it because it's a differently engineered type of oil that doesn't necessarily compare well to a standard oil analysis. In any case, that's what they recommend in Europe for that oil in VW's and for MB 229.51 engines, both gas and diesel. The...
