    My intent was never to upset the board

    I agree completely with Pj, even though she's Canadian.:p Americans cross the southern border into a backwards country for cheap shopping, gas, & liquor. Canadians do the same thing. :D Especially where she says, "This seems kinda silly, to keep it going like this," which is the very reason...

    Mentors Available?

    I dunno if it's wrong, but it's certainly a contradiction. :D In expediting, if you don't mind being away from home all the time, it really doesn't matter where you live.

    Black History Month

    I don't even know what that means. Yeah, so catchy that some members of the US military stole and adapted the motto from the legendary, almost mythical Sliding Turtles, the 77th Tactical Underwater Rapid Terrestrial Landing Elite (TURTLE) detachment of the Galapagos Islands Tortoise Military...

    Black History Month

    Racism exists not just here, but in every country on the planet, and to one degree or another in every person on the planet, you included. It's in the genes. It has to do with preservation of the species. You really don't have a choice in the matter. In order to not tolerate it you'd have to be...

    Anyone ever lose a load because they had a pet in the truck with them?

    That's really more of a text book thought process than a text book answer. Since the question was very specific, "Where exactly you would like me to leave your truck", then the answer could be as simple as "In my driveway." If the answer is, "Depends on how far you wanna walk home,' then the...

    One angry trucker

    Yeah, the work lights are pretty bad. Once went through one of the PA Turnpike tunnels, construction just before the entrance, so those lights were bad enough, but right near the entrance, turned around facing incoming traffic was a "Care Bear" with his high beams on shining right into...

    One angry trucker

    I've heard about this but never seen it from a truck. Living in the rural south where owning a pickup truck with an always-on set of fog lights, a gun rack hanging in the window covered with a deer drinking out of a stream, and a row of lights across the roof of the cab is nearly a rule, I've...

    Joe the Plumber

    Not many people seem to have picked up on that one simple truth. Here's a great illustration of that, and it's also related to Joe the Plumber. YouTube - OBAMA's TAX PLAN - Penn & Teller and gang return to comment on Barack Obama's socialist plans to turn the United States into a Marxist...

    Turbo3000D

    That very question is asked in the FAQ on the Turbo300D Web page, and the finely crated non-answer-answer is worthy of a Washington politician. Why aren't any of the main engine manufacturer's currently using the TURBO3000D? The TURBO 3000D is a patented product that reduces emissions and...

    If you use PrePass

    Huh? It means, if the light that would pass through an untinted window is considered to be 100%, then that amount of light cannot be reduced my more than 30% by a tint. The light that passes through the tinted window must me at least 70% of the original light. A tint will generally reduce the...

    Not going to believe a word you people say again

    Thanks, Hawk. Hopefully I'll get out of here tomorrow. The Stratosphere has some 2 and 3 night packages for the same price. I'd rather stay at the Wild West, I think.

    If you use PrePass

    Being a cargo van driver I was initially thinking like one when I said whatever is legal in the state the vehicle is registered in. That's true for non-commercial vehicles, but for commercial vehicles, 393.60 is the deal. If you have additional windows in the truck, they can be as dark as you...

    If you use PrePass

    From CFR 393.60 "(d) Coloring or tinting of windshields and windows. Coloring or tinting of windshields and the windows to the immediate right and left of the driver is allowed, provided the parallel luminous transmittance through the colored or tinted glazing is not less than 70 percent of the...

    Authority Issues, I know I have them

    Talking about the contents of private messages from moderators is usually unproductive. Discussions of that nature never accomplish anything, other than to get someone mad, either because they're the subject, or because they disagree with all of it. In the end it doesn't matter, nothing changes...

    Barney Franks BOYFRIEND

    We haven't had a really, really good president since George Washington, and even he was a little iffy. The next election won't change that. Well, William Henry Harrison may have been the best.

    Authority Issues, I know I have them

    Well, it is censorship, pure and simple. I'm a free speech kinda guy, but I'm also keenly aware that when it comes to a Web site, the site is the owner's to do with as they please, and if that includes censorship, so be it. They key to getting the most out of any community, be it online or IRL...

    They may have just gotten a cheap casino hotel room and left the van in the parking lot. I don't gamble, but I'm in Vegas, and strongly considered doing just that. Some of the rooms are just stoopid expensive, but some of the 2 and 3 day packages are really cheap at even some of the nicer places.

    Anyone ever lose a load because they had a pet in the truck with them?

    LOL I'd be awful on that show. I actually learned how to cook under the tutelage of a classic French Chef. I can talk about food, foods of other cultures, and food history, all day long. There are some wildly complicated dishes out there, and how they came about and how they were done has...

    Tim Mahoney

    It was ABC News that broke that story. I don't think there's gonna be a big push from the Dems to help him on this one. They're gonna gain a bunch of seats in Congress, so he's expendable. He'll get tossed to the Republican wolves, if he hasn't been already. Just a few weeks between now and...
