    So Now......

    Yeah, and if you read all the replies here and then go back up and read mine again, you'll see that the non-answer answer is pretty dead on. But in case you missed the salient and pertinent responses: "I locked it. It was locked because I believe he was trolling." When you own the house, you...

    So Now......

    Well, Web Site Support and Services doesn't really cover it, since that's more for technical matters dealing with the site itself. The General Expediter Forum doesn't cover it since this doesn't have anything to do with General Expediter (whoever he is. Maybe Colonel Expediter knows him). The...

    So Now......

    Well, the thread that was locked was in the wrong forum, just like this one is.

    Millions face shrinking Social Security payments

    Thanks. That's what I was looking for tonight... a mental image of old farts making out. :eek: I'll refrain from commenting on Johnny's performance. :D

    Get a thick rubber hose, slice it down the side, and envelope the affected section of the wiring harness within the hose.

    The Quiet Exodus

    Every time I go home and do anything to the van I make sure to get an empty weight ticket before my next load. My most recent one weighs in at 6320 with the fridge, bunk, batteries, shelves and the assorted crap. That leaves me 2230 for cargo.

    What is killing all my walmart fridges?

    On the big sign at the J here in beautiful downtown Ft Pierce, "Powerade - 2 for $4" Like that's a good deal. They are 2 for $3 at Pilot, and 97 cents a pop at the grocery store. Walmart had 'em for 3 for $2 the other day in SC. Powerade Zero, same price, of course. I bring this up because you...

    What is killing all my walmart fridges?

    I'll hit the highlights. I notice you use the term "cranking amps". That's a term which is meaningful in only two situations. One, when you are using them to crank the engine. It defines how many amp the battery can punch out very quickly to get the engine turned over, usually for about 10...

    "Thanks"

    Thanks. :) Couldn't resist. Actually, there is a button like that, sort of. Under someone's avatar, way down at the bottom you'll see those three little icons: One is a Cloud, next to that is The Scales of Justice, and next to that is the Tattle-Tail Sign. The Cloud lets others know...

    What is killing all my walmart fridges?

    If all you need electricity for is to power a fridge, and don't do computers or lights and fans and a bunch of other stuff, then batteries would be expensive overkill. If all you need is to keep something cold, then those thermostatic coolers that run off the 12v volt cigarette lighter is fine...

    "Thanks"

    That's more for Web sites where post counts gets you some kind of meaningful status, like on picture groups, where leeches are frowned upon and posters are revered as being important. It's also for those with Sally Field Syndrome and need to have lots of responses to their posts to boost their...

    pay per mile

    I've never had a problem getting loaded out of Kansas City. Clearly, that's my carrier's fault, as they always seem to find something coming out of there, and rarely at a reduced rate. On the other hand, Houston is my load unicorn. Everybody on the planet seems to get loaded out of Houston...

    who taught you to drive?? what did you learn?

    I'm right there with ya, Jack. If you are waiting to turn left, and when your time comes to turn, either because there are no cars coming or because the light has turned to yellow and then red, if you have to move forward even a foot before turning the wheels to the left, you aren't far enough...

    What is killing all my walmart fridges?

    Check the microwave for how many watts it consumes. Microwave "cooking" power in watts is not the same as the wattage draw. There should be a label on the back of the microwave that tells either watts or amps, but they usually say watts. On my Microfridge, because it is specifically designed...

    Government Can Require Gun Registration

    It's not an easy answer, but as an example, what's the difference between the Bloods and the Crips being armed legally or illegally? They're still armed. Gun control and gun registration fails, utterly, to keep them from being armed. So the only people who are inconvenienced with the burden of...
