    When does being a Newbie cease ?

    Zack, here's a link to a 2009 E.O. poll. While it doesn't answer your question, it does give you something to strive towards, "grizzled veteran." http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/general-expediter-forum/35288-how-much-experience.html

    When does being a Newbie cease ?

    Then a newbie is one who makes the same old stupid mistakes and an intermediate idiot makes new and different mistakes.

    When does being a Newbie cease ?

    Zack, you asked for nice, I gave you nice. Now you are asking for specific, I'll give you specific: If you have to ask whether you are still a newbie or not, you're a newbie. Me, I'm sticking with intermediate idiot.

    It's fish fly season

    Conventional wisdom would say that applies everywhere. I was amazed that walleye would bite on minnows when all that hook free food was available. These fish were stuffed full of mayflies yet still had room for a minnow. It's all in the presentation! On Minnesota lakes the mayfly hatch only...

    I've been doing this 14 years and like to think I have finally graduated from newbie to intermediate idiot.

    It's fish fly season

    There have been a few years where MNDOT used snowplows to clear mayflies from the Wakota Bridge, I-494 over the Mississippi near Stockman's Truck Stop. I had a great weekend of walleye fishing in northern Minnesota during a mayfly hatch. Every walleye we caught was full of mayflies yet they...

    Van fuel pumps

    Maybe GM realizes a problem with this particular pump but doesn't want to go public with it.

    Van fuel pumps

    Good deal! I'm of the belief that the more fuel in the tank the more that fuel can absorb heat from the pump. A cooler running fuel pump is a happy fuel pump. And a happy fuel pump may outlive an unhappy fuel pump. I don't know if this is true but for me it's another reason to keep the fuel...

    Van fuel pumps

    Lucas pumps on a Ford? A friend had an MGB and a Austin Healy Sprite. He hated Lucas parts. If you have ever had any experience with Lucas you may find the following link humorous:Lucas - Prince of Darkness - Lucas Electrical Humor Jokes

    Another Panther First

    Last night I called Panther and got the typical:"your position in the queue is two. Average waiting time in the queue is two..minutes and forty..seconds." . I of course continued to hold. After about 7 minutes I heard this message: "we are unable to answer your call at this time. Press 1...

    Leo, are you up and running? Any speculation on why your fuel pump failed? Did GM cover any of the costs?

    Gassing up...and up and up and up

    A metric litre is spelled l-i-t-r-e. A U.S. one is spelled l-i-t-e-r. An imperial one is spelled l-i-t-t-e-r.

    Gassing up...and up and up and up

    Oooh, now I get to lecture AMonger and anyone else who reads this. I can't understand why people play Kentucky Roulette with their fuel gauges. Even if you are certain that you have more than enough fumes to get to the next fuel stop an unforeseen traffic back-up due to an accident or...

    Congratulations Moot!

    They all went home from the hospital yesterday. Last night their A.C. croaked. It's 90 degrees here so for the next couple of days they are staying with us. I've got a 01:00 pickup so I should probably go to bed.
