    Good place to move to, as an expediter

    Sorry for your pain. Been there, done that. The nice thing is that broke is temporary. Your marriage not being rocky is a great thing. I'm not real big on spouting bible verses, but there is a great passage in Proverbs 31 about the value of your wife. I have put mine through the trenches and we...

    iOS7 update

    Those must be the 'special' iphones. You know, the ones that were shipped without a calculator app, and the schedule app only shows recess weeks.

    Snow on Donner Pass. It's that time of the year. Are you ready?

    Not that I'm aware. I looked over all of the western states' chain laws prior to install. Several have specific language about ATD's (automatic traction devices). The only rub we've heard is a little flack about the lengths of chain regarding wide single tires. They don't fully cross the...

    Snow on Donner Pass. It's that time of the year. Are you ready?

    Our Onspot automatic snow chains were installed two weeks ago. Myrian's been pestering me about getting them since our first year of driving. In years past, we carried our chain bags, but I didn't have the first clue about how to install them. My theory was if the chain law was in effect...

    Obama lied?

    For the sake of argument, let's say Mrs. LOS goes into the hospital today (God forbid) and has to have a heart valve replaced or some other procedure costing $500k. Surely, you haven't paid that much in premiums, but her insurance covers most of it. Isn't she benefitting from someone else's...

    Rear air bags

    Cannot remember for the life of me. Maybe I'll try to dig in the morning.

    Rear air bags

    I was actually crossing leaf spring bushing numbers online Friday and came across something about u-bolts on fl trucks loosening and creating havoc with bags. Immediately thought of this thread. Might be worth another search?

    Really?????

    Huh? Think that has to go through the union local first. Seriously though, what "business practice" is unfair?

    Michigan cider mills

    Uncle John's in St. Johns is also cool....US27 north of Lansing. Lewis Farm Market on US31 in Shelby for us west-siders.

    Tire rotation

    It's the Federal Excise Tax, the same you pay when you purchase tires. Installing a pusher does not allow you to avoid paying the tax. You are simply evading.

    Drug Testing for Welfare Recipients

    Nice fantasy, Monger. Let us know when you return from that dreamy place known as Capitalist Utopia. On second thought, don't.

    How bad is US160 from Cortez CO east to I-25?

    Been doing this almost 5 years, and have no idea how to sling chains. Thursday evening, we'll be flicking a switch. Mama said she wanted precious metal for our anniversary. I'm delivering, as per the norm.

    Our New Straight Truck !

    Negative. Six months passing only relieves the dealer and/or upfitter from collecting, as it is no longer considered "connected to the sale". Six months or six years, if you change the GVWR over 33k pounds, the tax is due.....truck and axle. Just did a lot of homework on this subject. I thought...

    Our New Straight Truck !

    Whether or not installed immediately after you took ownership or 6 months later, that responsibility to pay the FET still exists. One quick look at your cab card would make that detection a lot less difficult. A $35k gamble on an audit is a risk I'd rather avoid. In any event, good luck...

    It's football time

    I am so thankful for the Lions. When I see how badly my Bills suck, my heart is warmed knowing that the Lions are still in the league.
