    Chicago is OUT

    Seen it when Manning posted it to YouTube back well before the election. Nonetheless, I stand by my statement. Regardless of where the label originated, if you use it, racist or not, and then complain when the race card gets played, that's at the very least, hypocritical. When you use the label...

    Chicago is OUT

    "Wonder when the "Racist Thing" will be Thrown Out to the Public??" Right after he gets called a Long Legged Mack Daddy. I love the smell of racism in the morning. Smells like.... hypocrisy.

    Obummas Radical Past UnCovered

    According to the Fox News Web site, this Sunday's 9PM show will be about ACORN. "This contains things that were Just Uncovered and the Media won't Cover!!" If they were just uncovered, how can anyone even have the time to cover them, much less be able to schedule two days from now a one-hour...

    Chicago is OUT

    Charm is right, not knowing IOC politics is right. Charm will get you nowhere with the IOC. The IOC is in charge and they will not under any circumstances allow themselves to be overshadowed by anyone, especially the leader of a country. They allowed Hitler to do that. Never again. The only way...

    12 Volt Electric Blanket

    The upfront outlay is a little daunting, but when you run the numbers of cost analysis you see that it looks like a lot up front, but it saves you several times the upfront costs over the long run. It just depends on how you keep warm, as well as how often you are out, especially over the...

    12 Volt Electric Blanket

    My first year expediting I had one, when I was doing the Primitive Camping thing (a.k.a., Before Espar). I got it at a Pilot, I think. You need to plug it in a long time before you'll need it, as it draws very little power and thus takes a while to warm up. But once it got warm it was very warm...

    Verizon Aircard

    Most people are on the 5GB plan, where anything over the 5GB's will cost you $.25 per megabyte. The new plans will cost you only $.05 per megabyte over the 5 GB limit. Your old plan will continue to reflect the higher charge unless you call them and tell them you want to change plans to the new...

    The New York Times: Utah Gets Tough with Texting Drivers After a crash here that killed two scientists — and prompted a dogged investigation by a police officer and local victim’s advocate — Utah passed the nation’s toughest law to crack down on texting behind the wheel. Offenders now face up...

    Used Sprinter buyer beware

    You can swap out an odometer from another vehicle, even alter the odometer if you want, it's just that it has to be noted on the title that the odometer reading is not accurate. It's only illegal if you fail to note it.

    I'm not. I'm simply replying to what was posted, rather than to who posted it, same as I usually do. Of that I can almost guarantee. I stumbled upon a particularly good find when I got my Sprinter, had a snotload of a down payment for it, and had it paid off within 16 months. Without question...

    I'll say it again, the "more miles didn't magically make your cost per mile less." Cost Per Mile and Revenue Per Mile is everything in this business. It's not how much you make, it's how much you keep, or how much you are willing to give up. If all you look at is all them miles, you cannot see...

    Thanks. :) It was too hot in Fontana, so I headed north over the mountains and then back down the mountains into the San Joaquin Valley, birthplace of Buck Owens and Merle Haggard, where you can get cotton, almonds, grapes and crude all out of the same field.

    I find it arrogant, pompous and highly presumptuous that someone thinks they can make judgment on everything from how much you paid the dealer for the truck to how well you want to insulate the vehicle to just how Spartan you want to live while on the road, and then can make a determination on...

    Yeah, I might should have checked the weather before I came here. It was nice mid-to upper 70's in Utah. As I drove through St George the thermometer at the bank showed 113°. It is triple digits here today, too. Was gonna go up into the San Gabriel Mountains, maybe to Mount Baldy, but it's 95 up...

    Turn the volume down on the Nuvi. The dispatch nag, no can do. That one's a truly unique combination in all the known universe of the Immovable Object and the Irresistible Force.

    Naaa. They moved out the long term parkers out front to leave room for the RVers. And ya can't park by the restaurant anymore. Both because it's now an Ihop restaurant. The big trucks, I'm not sure what the deal is on paying, how much fuel to park for free, but the vans don't have to pay...
