Trip Pak will now be forced to look for a new pick-up service. I don't know who handled the business before DHL. I don't think that they are one in the same company. Correct me if I am wrong. I thought Trip Pak was Trip Pak and DHL did thier pick ups. Layoutshooter

My cousin's husband drives for DHL and voted against that contract. He is sure that MANY jobs will be lost. He is expecting losses of up to 30% at his terminal (Romulus, MI) alone. He said that layoffs will start right after the first of the year, as soon as the holiday rush is over. They are...

WOW!! In Michigan, and much of the rest of the country, hunters are harrassed and ridiculed. Maybe I should start harrassing other people's sport's. Naw, not yet at least. Layoutshooter

You are right Cheri, I CAN hit what I shoot at!! Yesterday's score. Two ducks came into the spread, two shots fired, two dead ducks. I drive better than Ted Kennedy too and don't run and hide if I have an accident. (neither did the Vice-President) Layoutshooter

Human beings treating other human beings right. NOT in Detroit!!! Must be nice to live in an area like that. Common folks with real values. How out of date. I love it. Layoutshooter

Stay out of the Detroit area today till at least 12 noon. We had a light dusting of snow which quickly melted and then froze on bridges and ramps. Couple that with many around here forget how to drive in winter from year to year and everything is a mess. Roads shut down all over the area. If you...

Thank you OVM. Layoutshooter

I moved 5 times, the first was from Michigan to England. I had a family to support, I did it on my own talents. No sucking off the government t*t. I am proud of my life. I upheld my responsibilties. Layoutshooter

Oh yea, he also taught himself script writing and made money engraving party invitations for the local coal barrins. He taught himself how to re-wind generators and did that to earn money during the depression. He taught himself how to work a metal lathe, made tools and auto parts for neighbors...

Cheri, there is no such thing as a stupid race. All people are capable of whatever they put thier minds too. An example. My grand-father. Came over to this country at 3 years old. His parents learned English. Due to the economic times he had to go into the coal mines at 10 years old and never...

They also no longer teach reading, writing and arithmatic. I cannot even fathom graduating a kid that can't read. I guess self-esteem is more important that reading and writing. Tell you one things, the Nuns at St. Cyp's never let that happen.

Gee, they can always do what Americans, my family included, have always done when things were not right in the area where they lived, they moved. Some just up and left everything behind. Why? Looking for a better life. Not just sitting on thier collective butts. There are no valid excuses once...

LOL, OK, Sorry Phil, guess I am just a bit punchy lately. I should have realized that. Layoutshooter

We use an electric kettle. Fast and less drain on the electric system. Layoutshooter

We had 56 in my 8th grade graduating class. No problems. Most went on to college or good jobs. A quiet class room. By the way, those 56 were in one room. There were 45 in the other room. Guess teachers today just can't hack it. Not allowed to "wield the ruller" as needed. Might hurt the "little...

Hey Bob and Linda, where did you get the shocks put on your lift axle? Cost? How long did it take? Hope you guys are doin ok. Layoutshooter

I still think we are independent contractors. FedEx does not control my hours or my work. I can refuse work at anytime. I can haul other than FedEx freight. I do have to cover my FedEx signs. I work when I want an take off when I want. I choose to contract with FedEx only because it benifits our...

Give me a shout if you get up this way. We are home for a bit now. I will be gone hunting off and on but home for the most part. Layoutshooter

No Turtle, I hunt the big water. Lake Erie and the Straights of Detroit. I do not shoot at people or turtles, we trap turtles in this area. There is a REALLY good bar just up the road from me called "Trappers". They serve Michigan reciepe turtle soup. They used to serve muskrat years ago when...

Glad to hear you are making progress, when do you go back on the road? Layoutshooter
