that first load is part of the blur too. I remember I was trying extra hard to make sure I remembered all my required macros. it was also sort of strange flying around without a logbook. eb

force close the screen by simultaneously holding down the center of the circle button (dot) and the button with a head with what appears to be the symbol of sound coming from where its mouth should be for 10 seconds. release and "pop" it's off. restart with key. I really like having the auto...

It depends on how a vehicle signed on. Canada--yes or no. Hazmat--yes or no. 2 or 3 pallet. Most don't sign on as no NYC or home every weekend. When I add a personal restriction I consider it as restricting myself as well. It does get slimy when the carrier uses a personal restriction against a...

As for the surveys, I'm guessing someone has to commission one. The gold program first shows they have traffic (us spinning the roulette wheel) then they convince companies this is a good place to run a survey. eb

I think the purpose is to generate traffic, so it could just as easily be a daily spin of the roulette wheel. That's how I look at the current setup, so I continue to log on and spin. If it was really roulette, they would probably have to get some kind of gambling permit. eb

Thanks. That discussion about the Amsoil also had some people saying they never had problems with it, and others said it caused them problems. It just seems to me that there are so many choices that have the spec numbers and are on the list that I'd go with the approved list. The link goes to...

As long as you can meet MB standards for your model, it shouldn't be a problem. update: Just ran across a discussion elsewhere about Amsoil and the MB spec. Apparently there are a couple Amsoil oils that carry the MB spec, but Amsoil will not have the oil tested for MB to put it on their list...

I just find this article funny. The idea is that the cat parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, can rewire the brain. New studies are backing up the idea. How Your Cat Is Making You Crazy - Kathleen McAuliffe - The Atlantic eb

This is another article that makes sense to me and relates to the article above. The article has gone viral since it appeared last year, and it seems to have created some backlash against the author. It goes against conventional wisdom, but confirms my own experience with my own way of eating...

My Valvoline is the 5W-40. Don't know if it makes a difference related to the miles on the van. I've used it the last 300,000 miles. You just need to make sure it has the approved MB numbers. eb

I posted this article elsewhere, but I'll post it here too. Very interesting, up to date studies. The area of interest to me is how the artificial sweeteners confuse the digestive track, and the part about the vegetable oils that trigger unintended consequences. After reading the article, try to...

The slightest wearing of the heels of my boots or shoes make my knees ache. Fix the heels, and knees are great. There are many simple solutions if we can figure them out before permanent damage. eb

I almost forgot to wish everyone a Happy Dollard Day, so--Happy Day. eb

I had a NAPA guy try to convince me the same thing about the Valvoline, but which Valvoline is the NAPA generic? The MB numbers weren't on the bottle, and I won't gamble on it. eb

This is how I try to conduct myself when it comes to sitting. I try very hard to not comment on how long I have been sitting, and the same goes to alluding to how long I've been sitting. At the 100 hour point, I allow myself one rant or exasperate comment. I've never made it to the second 100...

I know for a fact dedicated dispatch/bidders works well for large companies. At what point (from small to large) dispatch gets divided, I don't know. John seems to have a good handle on this kind of decision. As for what's going on in practice, we also need to recognize there are new people...

Congradulations to you, John. Will you continue to use the current facility? eb
