    How's your weather?

    Not in Western Kentucky, no. I mean, snow isn't rare here, but it doesn't hang around very long. Where I live we have an annual average snowfall of 8 inches. We also have normal high temperatures for Nov, Dec, Jan, and Feb of 58, 48, 44 and 50 degrees respectively. Normal lows for the same...

    Food For Thought Or How Do You Want Your Goat Grilled

    No, Leo, it's not. Believe it or not, there are some mom and pop stores that are also ethnic stores. There are ethnic stores in other communities, all other communities, in fact, where Wal Mart has stores, and in those communities Wal Mart makes no effort to differentiate between "good ol'...

    Food For Thought Or How Do You Want Your Goat Grilled

    I tried to stay out of this one, I really did. But, I can't. Irony. In this case, with a large, highly concentrated Arabic community, pledging to protect the local merchants is, in fact, exactly the same thing as catering to a specific group in a specific store - Marketing 101 by the book...

    sprinter tranny troubles!!!

    Sounds like a sensor problem, or a computer problem, and restarting the engine clears the computer. It should throw a bunch of codes that a dealer can figure out in a hurry. Of, find someone with a code reader, like a Scan Gauge II. The cheap code readers won't give all the codes the dealer...

    Sprinter Tires

    On my '05 Sprinter the specs on the seat say 55 front, 80 rear, and that's how I ran the first set of tires. I was very pleased with the performance and longevity. When I got new tires a few months ago I went with 80 pounds all around. Slightly rougher ride up front, but not really noticeable...

    What are they thinking?!

    They always tell you that. Every customer we have always looks into the load, every one of them. <snort> If you're not showing late, and the customer wants it there as soon as possible, meaning faster than 47 MPH, then tell dispatch that you're more than willing to try and get it there ahead of...

    I'm Out

    The escrow account can't be used for weekly deductions. Whatever the escrow account is set up for, it can only be used for that, and nothing else. In this case, it's to be used to cover the cost of the QC unit in case you never come back with it.

    GPS Systems

    No, I don't think you messed up at all. The 750 and 660 are basically the same price, so it's more of a matter of trading features than anything. The 750 is not Bluetooth compatible, so you can't make hands-free calls. The hands-free calling works great if you're sitting still and the motor...

    While it ticks me off sometimes, I really can't get too mad when I have a dropped call while moving. Considering the number of times the signal gets handed off between cell tower to cell tower while moving, the number of dropped calls is very small. "The appeal of the iPhone (besides the fact...
