Slow, time to reflect. Google maps showing all the places I've been in the rusty T1N can

Wow there was a hidden undercurrent of resentment all this time Sent from my SM-A705W using Tapatalk

Hey I worked every day last week. Driving instead of posting... Opportunities in health deliveries right now (for anybody that cares, you guys are all goofing off...I mean retired...) Sent from my SM-A705W using Tapatalk

I don't have, and never had a straight truck - but I've been expediting awhile and have some free advice... Don't buy a truck. I agree with you about dealers, and the emissions system on the newer trucks. The only way I could see it working (and how I do it) I have a pre-emissions truck and...

Well, 1 booked for Tues (good pay) and one today (I haven't been out since June 18 so anything goes pay) I swear they read my posts Elliot Lake, 6 hours northwest of Toronto 95F weather to 80F "up north". One year I'm going to fix MY air conditioning in the sprinter... Sent from my...

Glad you're doing well, OVM If they're that sensitive, scaring them away is probably the greatest favor anyone ever did for them. Not a business for snowflakes Sent from my SM-A705W using Tapatalk

I haven't been called in July yet. Is that newsworthy? Preparing for a major recession here. Hasn't happened yet, but could... I'm enjoying the "retirement" dry run Added HVAC to my skills. Fixed our house a.c. now on to the cars. Missed a deal on a recovery machine for $150 Canadian. I...

Didn't you hear? I'm the only one working :p If you're bored, I recommend Zimaleta sprinter videos. Watching the first videos where he uses a hammer on brakes is priceless (Maybe I should make one. Is a slightly Asberger home mechanic entertaining? I enjoy spinning new brake rotors, they shiny)

Oh it was 3000 lbs of hand sanitizer destined for up north, I only forwarded to Ottawa. Without a vaccine I'm doing locals for the foreseeable future.

Well, no issues other than the usual shift problems. Although I didn't expect those skids to move. They did - right through the back door, only thing holding it in was the door lock. First and last time I didn't strap down Currently listening to the wife share menopausal stories and wanting to...

2987 lbs About to see if I did the axle right

:p bad pun I know, not my strong suit For anyone who has had the yellow abs lights on a sprinter, this is the updated part (1000x thicker) that might finally save me from a hundred "resets" of the transmission a day Continuing on my quest of a perfect 2005 while things are slow

Things must be coming back, lots of work available. I'm still personally quarantined tho. No USA, no retail. "PPE" compliant dock to dock only. Had 2 runs in 24 hours Looks like I'm keeping the 2005. 22 mpg loaded and comfortably above the speed limit Think I've found the culprit for the abs...

More work. Local-ish so it makes more sense per hour...above $40 Canadian per hour suits me fine Really nice to drive now, didn't realize part of me was waiting for the explosion. Everybody asks me if I'm driving, they can't hear the grinding from the differential anymore I guess. Crept up on...

Wow, a delivery. And it's warehouse to warehouse (distancing, mask n gloves) Amazing what they come up with when you turn down other work, sometimes

Update to "drives fine" it's like a Cadillac on the open highway! Not that I had anything to deliver, although the company called and said I have to do a delivery to stay on the payroll (weird, probably just checking in on the van being fixed) Of course now I hear the front wheel bearings. I'll...

Test drove yesterday. Drives fine except no steering and it won't get out of first gear. Most importantly no rearend leaks Degreasing engine bay, changing air, oil and fuel filter, cleaned and greased the back brakes when I put them together I'm using this time to do a crapload of stuff I...

Lol I forgot about that. In my mind you'd all be laid out in the back of the sprinter, or getting hotels Nice! I've got quite a few years yet before we can do it Safe travels Sent from my SM-A705W using Tapatalk

Now that you can; stop and enjoy NOT driving straight thru ;) Fist time I left Ontario going west was last year. Who knew it was 24 hours driving just to cross the province (I sure didn't)
