Ok, got it into a shop, and fortunately, it's a shop that has testimonials on the walls from customer who were getting rooked elsewhere and then came here and found the treatment more honest. It's got plenty of freon. But the powertrain control module isn't grounding the AC compressor clutch...

Yeah, it sounds like they got the loyalty rewards thing backwards. It's supposed to mean that I get free stuff in return for giving them more of my business, not "here's a means for you to extort more business from me."

Hmmm...I think it has something to do with how hot it is. When this was first going on, it was HOT out, real hot. Then, after the stomp, so to speak, it started working again and has worked for weeks. Then, yesterday, it stopped again. I got it to run again when I got on the expressway, but...

A&A on US 35 near Jackson, OH once gave me a shower nearly for free. Condition was that I leave a tip for the cleaner. So for a $3 tip or whatever I left, I got the shower. Not quite free, but it was a tip.

Well of course he would get it, if the others can't. I'm just saying it might not matter which method a company uses as long as it's specified up front so everybody knows the strike zone, so to speak. As a former co-worker used to say, "A double standard would be great. It would be a...

Is it unreasonable to pick a policy and then implement it? I mean, either it's strict FIFO or strict closest unit or strict closest in-service and on-the-road unit...as long as we know what the standard is up front, right? Like the strike zone: pick one, make it known in the rule book, and...

Our buddy Al has some stones on him, that's for sure. All that yelling he did about how Bush was selected, not elected, when it was Gore attempting to steal an election the whole time. Well, he must have been impressed with Gore's attempted theft, because he did the same thing in Minnesota...

This particular economist is the one who was once asked "When might we regain our freedom?" His reply was, "When checks from Washington no longer buy anything." On that note (sorry for the >>s): A Timetable for Federal Default > Gary North > July 9, 2010A Timetable for Federal Default >...

It's a whole different world on an iPhone. Way too small.

Anybody ever tried a Ramsond inverter generator? Never heard of them before today. The one beside me is a 3500, but I'd probably go for the 2500.

Very true, and very true about his predecessor, too.

Hmmm...so if I went with an 8500 or 9000 BTU, there'd be NO DOUBT it could run the AC, even with the startup, and have enough left over for some various and sundries... Of course, being that I have no insulation, maybe I'd have to go with a bigger AC.

What's your make/model and BTU of AC again?

I just looked. It's going to be cooler in Laredo for the next couple days than up north. There's no way on God's green earth I could ever adapt to those temps without AC. Don't have a roof fan, don't have insulation, and even if I did, there's no way I could sleep like that.

Do you have any of the starting problems I'm reading about? How many pulls does it normally take you? I remember you showing me your AC unit. Could you please remind me what brand and BTUs it is? You were saying the Honeywell handles the startup just fine, and it's 2200W surge, right?

C-rap. I was only going to go with an 8500 or 9000 BTU unit, but if their reliability is low, that would make it a bad idea. I have to figure out something. Idling is using up a lot of gas, and since it got hot again... I was offered a load to Laredo today, but somebody else snagged it...

Hmmm...here's one that's less expensive than the others I've found. I just wonder if it would be enough to run an AC unit and laptop. Or even just the AC...

As much as I'd really like to use one of the slimmer, lower profile generators like the small Hondas or Honeywells, the cost is just too high. I may have to go with the bigger kind, the ones mounted in the frame. I'm not crazy about the idea, but I may have to resort to that, being that they...

Did you catch this? "2) To perform in-depth interviews with trucking industry executives to determine barriers to routine HIV/STI assessment and screening of their employees..." Can you IMAGINE that? After you go through the staggering rigamarole and red tape and documentary crap that we...

Calvin Coolidge is one of the few honorable men to ever hold the office of the President.
