The Dreamer abides. I don't know about you but I take comfort in that. It's good knowin' he's out there.

I remember fishing with my good friend Hap Shaughnessy, who as a scientist (among many other careers) specialized in memory research. He explained that episodic memory is linear like a film and indelibly cast in stone. Hap should know. He also has a masters degree (among many other degrees) in...

I drove a long wheelbase, mid roof, T-250 with the 3.7 L. I don't know what the axle ratio was. The only expressway driving I did was about 4 miles from one interchange and another 4 miles back. On the return trip I had a head wind and at 65mph the transmission down shifted so I'm guessing it...

I consider fuel, water temp, voltage and oil pressure gauges to be essential for any vehicle. My oil pressure gauge likely saved damage to my van's engine when an oil pump seal failed and oil pressured dropped. I noticed the pressure drop on the gauge and shut the engine down before an idiot...

The following quote was taken from the text of the piece Muttly linked in post 1. There was no mention if Mr. Kurtz said this with a straight face. A Fox News analyst, Howard Kurtz, said, “The admission raises serious questions about his credibility in a business that values that quality...

I test drove a Ford Transit this week. I noticed that it only had two gauges other than a speedometer and tachometer. There was a gas gauge and a coolant temperature gauge. No oil pressure or voltage gauge. There is an option for what is called a "message center". Does this option display...

I like those little Mandarin oranges from California that are available this time of year. Easy to peel and eat while driving.

I'm even pulling your old E-1 Whirlpool loads. Hopefully Murray will work his magic and get you loaded. If not, next stop Sauk Centre?

Hello Summit!

Ya, hey I'm sure glad I live in Minnesota. Do do do lookin' out my back door. .

I was thinking more like: Thank you Dr. Science. "He knows more than you do." He has "a Master's Degree... in science!"

Most expedite loads are one way. I've been doing this for awhile and can only think of 3 times where I returned to the shipper with the same freight. Two of those loads were because the shipper sent the wrong freight. I also got hooked up with a quasi dedicated run two winters in a row that...

Went to WDW to scope it out for next year when we take the two kids we used to have and the granddaughter.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Not good for pets but maybe easier access for someone with some kind of disability. Could be dangerous if one were to slip with one foot while the other foot got caught between an original step and an added step.

One of the articles Turtle used as a reference mentioned how composting organic waste reduced methane gas. Specifically that San Francisco had "... the first urban food waste program in the country that has not only helped reduce the city's greenhouse gas emissions nearly 12% below 1990...

I have an Engel MD-14 refrigerator/freezer mounted next to the driver's seat. I added a top "extender", a piece of particle board covered with a piece of a cheap yoga mat. This gives me a larger, non-skid surface table top. I have the unit plugged into a switched, 12 volt outlet. This enables...

That's very commendable of you. What carrier are you leased to and how do they feel about you turning down loads that pay less than a $1.00/mile?

Has anyone seen something like this? Both the passenger side and driver's side had these step extender things. Did f4f (I'm not short I'm people) ditch the Sprinter and get a large car?) It gave me something to ponder for miles. The miles have now turned into days. I'm going on vacation...

If you can handle driving the poorly maintained p.o.s. roads in Michigan, even the Northwest Territories will be a piece of cake.
