Cannot CD's and DVD's be eliminated altogether? Buy an iPod and put them on it. Use an adapter like this to connect your iPod to the TV.

When you are a debt-free expediter, the sunrises are a bit more pretty and the rain is a bit less wet. The best part is that when you get tired of the game, you can go out of service to go home or hang out wherever or wherever you choose. A friend told me the other day about a team he met at a...

Exactly! Regarding the comments in the article, I don't see the article, buried on p. 64 of a trucking publication, doing any harm or good to women, WIT or anyone else. Casual readers will see a couple of quotes from a couple of women about safety and probably say, "yah, right" when they get...

Coco, I don't read the Women's View forum every day. When I came across your satisfied mind post I was emotionally moved. What a great concept...a satisfied mind. You illustrate well how there are many things to think about and illustrate with beauty and grace how a satisfied mind can be...

I did a quick search on trucker spouse support and found these links. Check them out and see if you find anything helpful. A Truckers Wife, a place where trucker's wives meet and share! Layover Family Center - Trucking Families - Trucker's Wife | Layover.com Keeping the Home Fires Burning |...

Yes it is possible to get your Class B without going back to school, and no, it is not nerve racking to do. Diane and I both self-trained to get our Class B licenses and endorsements (HAZMAT, Air Brakes). It took a little bit of study. The free CDL manual from our state department of driver...

I enjoy the cost of bagged green tea too. I think it comes down to about $0.10 to $0.15 a cup, where a bottle of diet soda, which we now drink less of, is much higher in cost. I don't know how much the bottled tea costs that is being discussed here but if it is similar to soda, the green tea...

Consciously altered behavior is part of it, yes but not all of it. Before I got on green tea, I drank diet soda pretty much all day long. No weight loss then. I could substitute water for green tea but do not believe I would receive the blood pressure benefit that I know for a fact is...

I posted these Green Tea Diet results in early May. Now mid-June, the belt has come in a second notch. See also this post.

One of the down sides of eating is that it is so gosh darn satisfying and it can fill many needs, including the need to do something when bored. If I understand your post correctly, allow me to recommend the Green Tea Diet that is discussed here on EO. Combined with mindfulness and meditation...

I'll keep you posted. I get few colds now. The blood pressure result is already realized as reported here. We'll see about the cholesterol as that gets checked with my annual physical each year when we go home for Christmas. The taste never was as bad as "something strained thru a dirty sock."...

I got serious about the Green Tea Diet a few weeks ago. It is still early in this remarkably easy diet regime to report lasting effects but last night I had to take my belt in a notch to keep my now looser-fitting pants up. It helps to have developed a taste for green tea. I didn't care much...

I own a pair of pliers but feel no urge to crawl down behind truck stop toilets to put them to use. I wonder sometimes, would life on the road be better if every trucker was required to work for one day as a truck stop janitor?

While you are at it, guido, could we get you to tighten up all those toilet seats that are mounted loose on the toilets?

Diane and I have found camping stores like REI, Gander Mountain and Cabela's to be good sources for small rugged bottles, toiletry bags and other such items. These products are made for backpack, canoe and wildneress use. They are the real deal. Stuff sold at Camping World for RV campers is lame...

Just be careful to not put too much weight on the boot and think about surface wear between the shelf and the boot. As you know, the boot flexes some as the truck drives down the road. If you look close at the photo, you will see part of the shelf extends down past the boot. That part rests...

The wires are bunched up behind the passenger seat. They are the feeds for the camera system. It has been on my to-do list for a long time to wire-tie them neatly behind the shoe rack where space designed just for that exists. It is one of those projects that are easy to forget about. I hope to...

In the interests of personal safety and professional appearances, Diane and I wear black, polished, steel-toed shoes (not boots) at every pickup and delivery, and driving shoes most other times. The driving shoes are open-heel clogs that are very comfortable and easy to slip on and off. The...

Be careful what you wish for and think twice before knocking the traditional Christmas dinner. Diane's family celebrates Christmas on Christmas eve at "Grandma's" house. On Christmas day, all the kids celebrate Christmas with their in-laws. Since we have no kids and my parents have passed on...

Now there's an idea for the next Expo! An in-truck-cooked brownie contest. Volunteering to be a judge here! :)
