No, I don't need to research his facts. For the most part, he and I are saying the same thing, it's just that I'm giving actual credit to where it belongs, instead of slanting things to one side or the other. It's true that nothing is as clear cut as many would want to think it is, but just the...

I once had a cat named Midnight. He died of a stroke.

Not that it matters, but Cicso wasn't founded until 1984, and didn't ship it's first product, a network router, until 1986. Cisco played no role in the early development of the military's computer technology. In response to Sputnik in 1957 (the greatest year ever because it was the year of the...

Connecting from a home terminal to a mainframe downtown (telecommunications) is a direct connection from one computer to another, not an interconnected network connection to a gateway. Matthew Broderick did that in War Games when he dialed into Protovision's computers to play games and stuff...

Lead, follow, or get out of the way. Stop opposing everything and start proposing. If you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem. The square root of three equals two for large values of three.

Dale took my answer, word for word. Man, this is a thread that dispatchers should not be allowed to read. If they do, they'll be able to get all kinds of crappy loads covered. :D

After a couple of hiccups where nothing would install, nothing whatsoever (massive errors in the MS installer, even for programs that were designed for 7), I got that straightened out, got online and it downloaded all the latest drivers and it's up and running. I have a few things I still need...

Microwaved ribeyes just suck.

"I don't understand , why were your drivers on hold for a pod?" They weren't on hold for a POD, they were on hold for an advance prior to the POD, waiting to get approval for an advance that would afford them the luxury of having enough fuel to make it to the delivery. Yeah, I know. I know...

I'm 83.4 miles northeast up I-95 of RLENT, enjoying the rain that be brought with him from Memphis. Thanks again for that. Made the hand unload to the rear of a really large Asian fish market all the more special. The fish helped me unload. BTW, it's a large market with an Asian flair that...

I have a cast iron skillet that gets used for two things: cooking bacon, and then cooking cornbread.

Good Lord.

Posting history evolution is always fun to watch. ;)

Lou-a-vuhl. :D Just west of Lexington is VER-Sales. Don'chy'all be tryin' to all Frenchy it up, neither.

Everyone knows what cheap freight is, and it ain't a number. If the rate offered to you is insulting, it's cheap. If it's offered to you because you allowed yourself to be in a position to be taken advantage of, it's cheap. Never go someplace that you can't deadhead out on your own dime, or make...

I thought it was a brilliant illustration in reference to Layout's point, of watching paint dry. :D

I'm usually loud enough that I don't have to ask for the manager, the manager comes out of whatever hole they're in all on their own. Imagine a really mad Al Sharpton, all hopped up on cocaine, coffee and steroids. Anyone within earshot gets a full-on clinic in food handling and cross...

Well, going through two trannies in three years is not unheard of. What's unheard of is someone going through two of them while using the correct transmission fluid, changing it according to the schedule, and not abusing the transmission. In any case, why would someone pay five grand for a two...

As a former restaurant manager, and a paying customer, when I see that happen, I absolutely hammer them over it. No mercy. And I won't do it quietly. I've done it half a dozen times in the last year alone, and looking at it from even my perspective, it's pretty brutal, it's something I would not...

I weigh mine empty fairly often. You'd be surprised at how much weight you can accumulate by adding a tool here, a thingamabob there. My most recent empty weight ticket is 6260, which leaves 2290 for freight. I have hauled as much as 3000 pounds, but it's a rarity to even be offered that much...
