    My Battle of the Bulge

    Had a friend like that 3 to 4 snicker bars for life without weight gain then in his mid seventies he had to have a quad heart bypass. I guess there is no free lunch even in health care.:D:D

    Worst Restaurant Experience

    Found a big staple from a shipping box in my omelet at the Shasta Inn in Calif. Part of a wire scrub sponge in my Pizza at Sals Pizzaria in Navarre Florida. Problem a good thing I always Pray over my food before eating. :cool:

    Worst Restaurant Experience

    Go figure: Up North they make sweet corn bread but unsweetened tea for the most part; however, down South it's almost the opposite, sweet tea and unsweet cornbread. :confused:

    Ketchup on eggs was a life saver when I went through Navy Bootcamp.

    Cargo Van Best Insulation for Van Floor

    Thinking of building a Sprinter, Promaster or Transit in about 6 months so height isn't as critical. I have an RV background so hoping to bulid the best sleeper for 5 feet of van length.

    Cargo Van Best Insulation for Van Floor

    I concur for winter solutions; however what do you use in the summer for cooling. I was thinking of a 3kw generator because I have an almost new 13500btu Carrier RV airconditioner.

    Cargo Van Best Insulation for Van Floor

    We used the stock cotton like blanket under the wood floor in our van, but it really didn't do the job. Was wondering if anyone has tried using 1" planks with foam between to give a little lift before putting on the plywood floor with e track? Or has someone done that aluminum insulation that's...

    No Mandela Mention?

    Mandela is an interesting figure. He went from criminal to peace activist. He was head of the armed division of that movement which was confusing to me because he claimed to follow Ghandi. But he did change his life to a non violent movement and then he was victorious. His ex wife was a fireball...

    Religious dudes and dudettes - a Judas question

    I prefer the New American Standard. King James seems a little too difficult for me. I even need close captions when watching British TV. The main difference is between a translation and a paraphrase. Paraphrase is the Living Bible, Amplified,etc. My main concern is the Holy Spirit leading your...

    Which Size Gas Engine?(Cargo Van)

    Does anyone have concerns about the power of Ford's V6 Echo Boost when it comes out in the Transit Combinator. It seems to have a good few years track record with the F150.

    Which Size Gas Engine?(Cargo Van)

    Love our 7.3 Powerstroke and our 7.3 IDI with an ATS Turbo. Some guys on the Ford Forums refer to the 6.0 as "6.NO!!!"

    Rick Santorum compares Obamacare to apartheid

    Distance and time seem to make the memory fade. I guess as a Politician you always want to say something nice about the "departed". I would suggest just keeping your comments to yourself, you don't have to comment every time. I am disappointed in Sen. Cruz; however, I really hope we can convince...

    Nissan NV 2500 Cargo Van w/ high roof

    Not sure about them except they appear to be cramped, I think I prefer the Dodge or the new Ford Transit. Can build a nice sleeper with those.

    Ford Full Size Transit

    Yes the Ford Transit will be built at the F150 plant in Claycomo,MO just south of Kansas City. I hope all the delays will be because they were working out all the kinks. Seems as though the gas engines will be 2 V6's and the diesel will be an inline 5 cylinder diesel from South Africa.

    Dodge Promaster

    I have to admit Dodge makes some nice looking cars but when it comes to commercial vans they choose ugly. The old Ram Vans that were extended length looked unstable to me because the body behind the rear axle looked like it was too far. I imagine it was like a diving board. My Ford E350 was...

    Dodge Promaster

    How do feel about the Transit Combinator? At least the gas engine V6 Eco Boost has got favorable results with the F150 application for awhile, not sure about the V6 Penstar. I prefer new in vans because I don't like inheriting someone else's misuse, I am real easy on all my equipment and don't...

    Dodge Promaster

    Has anyone here on the forums purchased one or did a close look? I heard rumors that they modified the larger one because it was unstable going around curves.:confused:

    Worst cities

    Pittsburg has been decent to us and we usually go to the other side of the Airport to the U S Air Force Reserve Base and get a room at a reasonable price during the week. Weekends are tough because they're active for the Reserve's

    Don't know about that but when I was a young sailor the local station had Regis Philbin and Raquel as a weather girl if memory serves me correct :)
