Thanks to you all. I have two Flying J shower expiring today at midnight, so I think I'll treat myself to two of them in one day. Yay. Two chances to contract foot fungus and staph. (Actually, the Flying J showers seem to be cleaner than most, and that second towel really helps.)

Yeah, the reason I pointed out the gym thing is that I know someone who contracted staph from some workout equipment at the gym. Several others there contracted it, as well. Locker rooms and workout rooms on high school and college campuses, and even in professional sports, are known to harbor...

Well, the Garmin 465T lets you input vehicle dimensions, as well as weight, and will route you based on that. The problem is, they emphasize the "truck" part a little too much with the routing software, to the point where it apparently strongly favors STAA routing over practical routing, instead...

The PC Miler GPS unit is pretty bad, and they should be taken out back and shot for calling it PC Miler when it doesn't even have PC Miler on it. It's an electronic version of Co-Pilot, which sux, not MC Miler, which doesn't. Best bet for a standalone GPS unit is a mid-rage to high-end Garmin...

Shower after swimming to avoid MRSA, scientist advise | Science | guardian.co.uk Researchers found that people who went swimming at a popular beach in Florida had more than a one-in-three chance of coming into contact with the Staphylococcus aureus microbe. A small proportion of these were the...

It works for me, both Fleet Payables and Open Payables. The "Miles" figure on both should always be the same (since they come from the same source) and it should always match your Load Receipt. The "Miles' figure on either should not change, as being an indication for a swap, until the new Load...

It's really the same thing, except you have to feel the badaѕѕ, be one with the badaѕѕ. If you can do that, the GI Joe with the Kung Fu Grip emerges. It's awesome, especially when you combine it with a few choice things from PC Miler, and then export them all to the Garmin. GGGRRRRRR

We all know about out Credit Score, but few know what an ID Score even is. I heard about this company (ID Analytics) a few years ago when someone I know started working in home health care, checked her own ID Score, and found that she was almost certainly an early victim of identity theft. ID...

Write it with glow-in-the-dark neon green marker on the windshield right in front of you face. The ultimate in high-tech redneck headsup displays.

Yeah, the one over there by Markham. I've eaten there several times. There's also an On The Border Mexican place right over by there, which has awesome buffalo fajitas (made with buffalo meat, not with hot wings). I'm trying to envision how to barbecue spaghetti. Sounds delicious, tho. :D

Are you happy now?

I've got all the Corky's programmed into my Garmin. :D They've got 'em in all kinds of places; Biloxi, Monroe, Metarie, Lexington, Nashville, Jackson, Murfreesboro, Knoxville, Evansville, Jonesboro, even Caruthersville. I've never tried Interstate. I'll have to put that on my list. But man do...

The latest in iPhone cases. Not to be used while driving.

Tops is tops. Corky's is a real close second, especially for ribs.

Other than "multiple instances", which isn't necessary, yeah, I can do all that. Mileage A to B quickly is not a problem, if you know how to do it. Detouring around a traffic backup real fast is accomplished by the pressing of a single button, actually. In many instances the FM Traffic has...

Actually, you don't know nearly as much as you think you do. I've used both solutions extensively and I absolutely know what I'm talking about. I'm both a computer geek and a GPS geek, particular in the areas of route coding, how it works and how it can be altered and tweaked. I know the pluses...

"In any event, until you have experienced using a laptop for routing and GPS navigation and all it can do, you can argue till the cows come home because you don’t know what you are talking about. I’ve used both solutions so I know." I had a rather lengthy Turtle-esque reply penned, but I'll...

You'd think after all the "trucker tested, trucker approved" stuff there's be at least one independent review somewhere on the Net. Newp. Not even a review at the Rand McNally site. One thing that's interesting is the unit features a function for corrections, for roads, routing, bridges, etc...

Until now, there has been a "commercial block" via software that prevents MB dealers from ordering Sprinter parts. That's supposed to go away. Also keep in mind that unless the repair requires the DRB Tool, most other Sprinter repairs are just car repairs and can be done by most any mechanic...

Like Curious George :)
