On a happier note :p I got my new battery and the beast is ALIVE! I always thought my battery was rather small to begin with. But what did I know, it's an older Sprinter and it was working fine. Turns out the dealer or someone must of slapped any old battery in it just to get it to run. I'm...

Just shoot me and get it over with :eek: Go out to check my position and battery is dead (again), thought it was safe to leave the QC plugged in this time. This battery must be on its last leg, going to swap out for a new one this time. Hopefully before the phone rings :(

Very true. I don't blame any one person, well maybe one but he still got re-elected haha. It don't take a rocket scientist to know the economy is still in the dumps. The business that was there before may not even be around now or working at minimum capacity. Yeck, even my local Hooters has...

In a way this reminds me of watching a disturbing animal rights group video of the Pennsylvania (killing for sport) pigeon shoots. Which I thought was barbaric enough, let alone have the children run around collecting the survivors and snapping their necks or beating till dead. It is 2013...

That is so disgusting I want to puke :eek: :(

Now that made me laugh. I would have paid to see that! ;)

Sounds like the same experience i had when i was in a straight a few years back, not sure where I was. This morning I saw a beautiful red cardinal sitting outside my kitchen window. It told me, if you go in service the loads will come :D So after a March to forget with too many personal set...

Maybe someone found out it was already passed, hidden in Obamacare, with who knows what else :rolleyes:

Easy way is to just plug it into the front of your radio if you have an aux spot, or just tune the station in with the radio. I did that for a year before getting a radio with the Aux spot. For me it would have involved taking it to best buy or somewhere to do what you want. I'm not very handy...

Good news, van is fixed and ready to roll. Bad news, still sick after a week. Worse news, my weight gain and ignoring my own health has brought back my high blood pressure. Going to the Dr in the morning to address the sickness and blood pressure issue. And no pressure, new DOT physical needed...

That is just nuts. I can't image anything good coming out of 20k+ pages :confused:

New? Is there an update from what we already had :confused:

Followed with an educational warning that rubbing two sticks together could create a fire hazard :p I did like a comment in my local paper about it. What were they going to do, fine an eagle scout for not having a smoke detector in his tent?....and on that line, how were they going to enforce...

I don't take my PS3 on the road yet but my current favorite is Resident Evil 4 HD, I've played through this one so many times and imo the best of the RE series. 5 really lost the magic and is still sitting on the side line to be finished. Don't know if i will try 6 as Capcom has totally lost its...

Thankfully this decision was reversed. But the fact that it got this far amazes me. LANSING — The Boy Scouts of America does not have to install smoke detectors in two-person tents at its Michigan camps, a state agency said Wednesday, reversing an earlier decision that had drawn criticism...

With all the anti-idling laws going on, more truck stops may be going on board with this. I was at a Fyling J in South Carolina that had a sign saying that the step project was available there. It was a rather intriguing idea. But I doubt I will see it out front for CV's anytime soon :rolleyes:

Yes unfortunate. Since the first reply was well after the station opened, they should be on their way, hopefully without too much repercussions. A lesson from The School of Hard Knocks. For me it's a matter of simply planning ahead. Before I roll out I know: 1- Do I have enough fuel to reach...

I thought about making a sign like this, as I watched a professional donation collector work a street corner next to the truckstop I was sitting at. The guy was making more then I was :rolleyes:

Always something lately: For over a month now seems like I just have not been able to keep in a steady work groove. Between family obligations, taxes, repairs and illness I just have not been able to keep rolling (despite the slow freight). Hopefully, after this weekend things will finally get...

I saw that today. He was a lot younger then I thought he was. Especially back in the day I thought he was much older. Oddly the day before he died I was watching some old videos of him with The Undertaker off a video game I bought. R.I.P
