    Oak Grove KY Flying J

    It's probably being turned into a Denny's, so enjoying a meal there isn't going to happen any time soon. If you're lucky, it'll be like science fiction in which they take their tasteless protein pill and are happy they've gotten their nutrition.

    UltraOne Expediter 2nd Chance Points Policy Change

    Re: ultra one 2nd chance points policy change You can, however, have them fax the receipt to CS with your card number (I just have them copy my card along with the receipt) and they'll load the points that way. The lady at CS told me they can no longer do it over the phone but will from a fax...

    Another Palin looker...

    Just goes to show how neocon-ism has taken over the Republican party. Someone can successfully have the positions she has and still fool people into believing she's for freedom and small government.

    I'm tired

    Condoleeza Rice believes in freedom? Either that's a new position for her or a different Condi Rice. The Condi Rice with whom I'm familiar was the neocon in the Bush administration, who couldn't pick freedom out of a police lineup. You want a black president who believes in freedom? His name...

    Now for winter, keeping warm

    NOT BACK TO THE GENERATORS AGAIN!!!! I figured I had gotten through summer without one, and heating should take less energy than cooling, so I figured I can go a few months without shelling out for something I can't afford. I suppose I can find a cheap remote start, warm it up inside before I...

    Now for winter, keeping warm

    Ok, first, I don't know a thing about electrical systems and such. But from past reading, isn't there something called an isolator that would have to be put in this circuit? I seem to recall some thread where people put in, "Don't forget, you have to have a hootzenjammer in the system to...

    Another driver ticketed for Routing on Laptop

    Didn't the feds issue a ruling that we can't be cited for this? I think Arizona tried it first and the feds told them it's not a TV receiver when being used as a GPS.

    Now for winter, keeping warm

    Hey, what about those emergency jump start batteries? I was thinking it would be handy to have if running these heaters kills your battery, but then I figured, why not just charge the emergency jumper as you drive and then use IT to power a heater?

    Do Firefighters have a duty to put out fires?

    I'm a little confused about this one. At first, I said, "YES! Let their house burn if they didn't pay the fee." There are some subscription-based fire protection companies, and if you don't pay the fee, you're not a customer, so they have no duty to save your home, much like a private guard...

    Now for winter, keeping warm

    Hmmm...how do you do this? Are these the same kind of propane tanks you would use for a propane grill, same size and everything? This doesn't sound safe to me.

    Now for winter, keeping warm

    Years ago, there used to be a product, don't know what it was called, that would plug into your cigarette lighter and warm the inside of your passenger car or pickup just enough so snow, freezing rain, or frost would melt from your windshield if it was parked overnight. I guess keeping the...

    Which is it, the party of silly or stupid?

    From the linked story: "More than 400 organizations — ranging from labor unions to faith, environmental and gay rights groups — partnered for the event, which comes one month after Beck packed the same space with conservatives and tea party-style activists. "Organizers...

    Driver Rewards

    Shortly after I posted above, I was denied for the first time. Up until then, even after it was said to have changed, I kept gassing up, 15.1 at a time, getting the 1/2 shower credit and using the showers. Just changed for me.

    The Truth-O-Meter Says:

    14% may not be obscene, but it's definitely slightly offensive. So if that's the LOW rate, the rates above it are unquestionably obscene.

    other truck stops

    I know everybody's down on the Detroiter, but today for the third time, they gave me a free shower in exchange for filling up my gasser van. Sure miss the old days there, but that was before I was vanning. Wish I'd been in some of the bull sessions in the restaurant with the other 100 vanners...

    Blow by weigh station

    I'm pretty sure you mean you couldn't care less. My first week in a big truck, I was in Kansas. Saw the sign and planned to pull in. First looked at my radio and changed the station. Looked back down and was passing the entrance. That was the shortest and quickest mile I've ever...

    Blow by weigh station

    A guy told me he was cuffed and stuffed once for blowing by one. Don't remember what state.
