    November 2020 Is For Turkeys

    Nice truck! I bought a new van in 1997. When it came in, I chickened out and gave it back to the dealership...monthly payments would have equaled the extra money I made with it at the time Waiting in the tire shop watching the flakes fall, let em! New rubber going on Oh, and waiting on a...

    Best Power Inverter and Aux Battery available for Sprinter

    Obviously, no one would mess with reclaimed smoke detectors for such a trivial thing. Home defense, that's another story...

    Waaay to expensive for my blood lol...Course I may use a lot of diesel leaving my sprinter uninsulated. I need room for my ass to get around skids, and it's a tight squeeze already

    Sprinter mechanic help

    Sprinter-source.com I won't try and guess, haven't had that issue specifically. Ask there, that website is the whole reason I can pay my bills, with a working 2005

    November 2020 Is For Turkeys

    After 13 years of sleeping in a van, I parted with $130 USD for an 8000 btu Chinese diesel heater. Rather than being happy, I feel like the sky is going to fall because I spent money on comfort. Being cheap is a real mental illness Also bought a stack of 8 Hengst oil filters for $63 and OEM...

    November 2020 Is For Turkeys

    I've had times this year where I've worked regular. One this year where I pulled off $6500 in locals in a week (manual labor and handcart involved) Truthfully I prefer 1 or 2 big ones every pay period, and sitting the rest of the time. If I tried to turn this into a job, it wouldn't be worth...

    Jeez that has to be one of the dumbest things I've ever done ,50f to -19f in one trip with 50 mph winds. And a foot of snow on the road, no salt. Stands to reason it's been raining for days in southern Ontario, 16 hours northwestern that would be snow To the big truck driver doing 50 mph...

    Not even close :p 1.26 million worth of easily cashable freight on board. I'd worry, but the sprinter looks so ugly bums give ME money at traffic lights

    Apologies. How is everyone? I think my last post was my drive to Saskatchewan. I don't think I wanted the timeline out in public. Safety first :p Doing everything I've always wanted to do has simply taken all my time, so I've been off the forum. Everyone I love is still here. Nothing drastic...

    $800 in locals, all yesterday. Using my talents to help an old scrapper go thru his collection of lawn mowers, trimmers, tractors, rvs and vehicles So far got 2 lawn mowers and a stihl trimmer out of it. We're trading off and he's building some garage storage shelves for free so I can dump the...

    Nope not camping. Going home empty turns this from a spectacular rate to an average one, but it was a great trip. So many people never venture far from home their entire lives, and if they do, its some other country. Made me glad to live in Ontario again. (Sorry Manitoba / Saskatchewan I like...

    All done. First two were off in an hour, last one was 6 hours north. One crazy law here, you have to slow down to 40 mph on the highway passing an emergency vehicle at the side of the road or $150 fine. Gonna give it tomorrow and get some sleep in Saskatoon. Yes I'm crazy enough to drive home...
