    how to insulate

    Get 1" foam board, 3M spray adhesive, canned foam, some Liquid Nails or Lock-tite caulk adhesive, a calk gun, scissors, and some of the silver Reflectix bubble pack insulation for Lowe's. Also get some of the silver sealing tape which will be found over near the paints, but don't get the...

    But the last word also assumes that they were always unchaperoned, and that's not the case. Most often the parents, or at least one parent, also spent the night there, as well. "Granted, that would be an awkward position to take if one had been preaching the normality of young boys sleeping...

    Haz-mat regulations

    If you have a HAZMAT endorsement, then you should know the rules already. If you don't have a HAZMAT endorsement, then you can't haul HAZMAT, anyway. HAZMAT is defined as hazardous materials that must be placarded. If it's HAZMAT, but not in a placardable amount, it ain't HAZMAT, and you can...

    Today's the day - Big trucks can now do 65 mph in Ohio on interstates

    I think all speed limits should be abolished.

    Actually, that's a classic loaded question worthy of Mr Bat Guano (may he rest in peace). Leave off the last word and it becomes a valid question in relation to the issue, but at is stands, it changes the conditions of circumstances, assumes things not in question, and becomes an exercise in the...

    The phrasing here is interesting, and telling. One, there's no "supposed" anything, it's either innocent until proven guilty or it's not. Two, why is it surprising? Is it surprising to you that so many people would rather deal with facts and what is provable instead of tossing all that aside in...

    Take Care...(of your tires...)

    Keep in mind that what's on the side of the tire is merely the maximum allowable pressure for that tire, not necessarily what is recommended for the vehicle, and that the correct pressure depends on the load that the tire is to support. They had a nice set of $67 Toyo's that I could have gone...

    Well, while I won't call you names, I do think you are wrong to reach the conclusions you have reached based on the evidence available. I think it's wrong to put any credence in illusory corollaries since they are far more often detemined to be incorrect rather than correct. Reaching a...

    Take Care...(of your tires...)

    Well, yeah, but more than the outside temperature, it's the temperature of the air inside the tire and of the tire itself that matters. Obviously, pavement friction will cause heat, and air expands when it gets hot, which is why the tire pressure increases as it gets hotter. But that doesn't...

    Take Care...(of your tires...)

    Yeah, that's why I went with 80psi all around on the second set, because a higher pressure would decrease friction and increase fuel mileage. And it did, slightly. It's hard to know precisely, because I only had about three months on the first set of tires with the extra weight of the shelving...

    You would think that someone who went to Chase Law School would know that, except for hearsay, circumstantial evidence is the weakest of all evidence. It is a type of evidence that demands correlations be drawn based on incomplete or missing facts. Hearsay is the absolutely worst because anyone...

    Take Care...(of your tires...)

    No. Whether nitrogen or regular air, the recommended cold tire pressure (ambient air temperature) is still the one to go by, since that affects the load rating of the tire. As the temperature of the tire increases with driving, it is quite impossible to know the correct tire pressure at a given...

    That's precisely what they're saying. They are also saying that if they were to find themselves in a bed with a young boy that they would not be able to control themselves and would molest the child, because, if you're in bed with a child, that is the only possible conclusion that can be...

    CDL Roadtest

    CDL C road test is about the same as a road test in a car. Make sure you know to pump the brakes 3 times and then hold on the third pump to test the brakes, as that's one they usually ask you to do first thing. You'll be pretending you're carrying HAZMAT, so come to a full stop with your 4-ways...

    This is just like mandatory registration of hand guns, so they can track guns used in crimes and arrest the criminals. Of course, it's been shown that handgun registration has never played a role in the prevention or solving of a crime. Yet there it is, this huge database of registered gun...

    The poster, nor where the article came from doesn't have any bearing on the truth of the article. The EPA has squelched similar internal reports in the past. The more dire the Global Warming Condition, the more money the EPA gets, not to mention the more power they'll have. Global Warming, now...

    And you're pouting like a child. Kids play from the time they're toddlers, and while the type of play may change as one grows older, the play itself doesn't cease. Hunter-gatherers did not hunt and gather, eat, sleep and poop and nothing else whatsoever. They didn't even hunt and gather every...

    A plane crash in the right South American jungle could change that. A life by your definition? No thanks. Why do you think that play isn't an integral part of living? And it's quite obvious you never studied anything like that in school. Agriculture did not precipitate play, it precipitated...
