Ban the Van! Grate the Straight! Chuck the Truck! Splinter the Sprinter!

I am nestled off the western edge of the Rocky Mountains, at the eastern edge of the Great basin region, in the northern extension of the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains at the southern edge of the Bear River Mountain Range. The locals have a name for this place. They call it "Ogden". Weird.

Kewl pics, Jack. Here's one from the other day in Laredo: "Register three! Price Check on a Tea Pot!" Ah, those wild and wacky ambiguously legal aliens. Here's some from Iowa. At first glance it's a new scale house, where if you're loaded too heavy up front they'll just redistribute your...

I don't even know where I am anymore.

Happy Birthday Linda!!!!

That's the last time I wear banana pumps to Walmart.

You forgot the Green Factor. All those new cars are cleaner and greener. Global Warming and Climate Change has taken a huge hit, thanks to Big O.

Brand loyalty will weigh heavy in the recommendations from a lot of people. I don't know, but the manual should give you a suggestion of approved or acceptable oils. I use Mobile 1 for a lot of reasons, being that it was the initial fill in the Sprinter, and the Service Manual mentions it...

As opposed to more dynamic, mobile attacks? :eek:

Side-to-side or front-to-back won't matter, as long as the seams are filled with wood filler or something, and then sanded down smooth so they don't catch something sticking out of the bottom of a skid. It effectively eliminates the seam, so where the seam actually was, isn't much of a factor...

Everything we see, hear and experience influences us. Everything. Why do you think pharmaceutical companies advertise prescription medication on television? It's not so the doctors will be influenced enough to prescribe it, that's for sure. It's because people fall for that stuff. You may not...

Hard drives are fragile things when they are powered up and the read/write head is moving about. Laptop drives (portable drives made to handle the extra stresses of being portable) are a little more robust, but it's still a matter of not if, but when the drive will fail. A drive can fail with...

I used large self-tapping screws, about a foot apart, around the perimeter and down the middle. I laid out e-track on the floor so that the outer edged of the e-track were 48 inches, and then installed them with screws about every foot, as well. Then measured the interior between the inside...

At least we've gotten away from using EOL as a term. Expediting is hard enough without it becoming synonymous with End-of-Life. :D

Great find on that video. It absolutely nails the subtle power of iconography and subliminal messages in advertising. It can be found all over the place, wherever an important message needs to be delivered, whether the important message is right there up front, or the more important, subtle...

I sent prayers in a two pronged attack: To Apollo, the god of music, medicine, health, prophecies, poetry, and archer, so that your recovery will be straight and true as an arrow, and your pain will be soothed by the songs of the Gods. And to Zeus, the king of the gods, the ruler of Mount...

I will rarely go into a place twice, in order to buy something once.

Probably due to the fuel discounts that Panther gets at the TA, Loves, and the Petro. On your fuel receipt, there will be the line that shows the gallon amount, price per, and the dollar amount. That's the "cash discount" figure, and would be the same whether you use Comdata or actual cash. But...

geometry - what an acorn says when it grow up

Other than picking up the phone and calling them and asking them, I wouldn't try to read too much into why a Chicago company would be recruiting in Dallas. They may very well be recruiting in Tulsa and Atlanta, too. They may get a few loads going to Dallas and are having a problem getting them...
