    sprinter tranny troubles!!!

    Black fluid would likely indicate burnt fluid, assuming a change of fluid at normal intervals - or unless some non-standard fluid was used. When I changed mine out at 60K it was dark red but not black. As far as the metal shavings - were these actual large shavings - or the fine metallic...

    Food For Thought Or How Do You Want Your Goat Grilled

    Just to clean up one of a few posts I failed to respond to ..... hopefully not beating the dead horse too much. :) Indeed there are - as an example, Indonesia is the largest Muslim nation that there is, with about 88% of the population (over 200 million) identifying themselves as Muslims...

    The DNC has lost thier mind

    Oh ... we'll still have problems ... it's just that we might have a prayer of a chance of getting on a path that will lead to solving some of the most serious ones. :D

    The DNC has lost thier mind

    Interesting discussion ..... Representation is a key .... at least one of them ..... but ..... In a country which aspires to fair and equal justice for all, there must be a mechanism for those not in the majority to seek it. Otherwise you simply have a "tyranny of the majority" - think of...

    what parenting?

    The really interesting thing (to me) is the apparent lack of certainty that is seemingly contained in the statement: "But I must have gone wrong somewhere." It's almost as though the parent making the statement has SOME DOUBT. :eek: My take would be slightly different .... I would...

    what parenting?

    While I certainly can't absolve the young lady for her actions ...... one wonders about parents that would allow a 15 year-old female, home alone, to be having ANY KIND of unsupervised party or gathering ...... afterall the parents are adults (theoretically, at least) and really, really should...

    Sorry, We don't know what the load pays

    There had been a few changes in the way they were paying (better pay) - I didn't get all the details but it was described to me as an improvement but nothing earth-shattering. As far as the backhauls and one-way trips I gathered that this had not changed significantly from when I was there...

    Congratulations A Team

    One of the troubles with the online experience is that one is limited, generally speaking, to only the written word. You can't hear the playful tone of a speakers voice, the inflection of what's being said. Nor can you see the mischievous (but good-natured) look on their face as they hit...

    How's your weather?

    Sitting at home in the Akron/Canton area. Hard to tell exactly how much we got here but it's alot. The wife and I went out this afternoon shoveled out the walkway to the front door and the driveway right in front of the garage. The deepest drifts there were over 26" .... I took the pickup...

    Great job by this administration

    Now lessee ... what shall we do to keep the populace occupied ..... lest they become bored with their lives and get curious and interested and wish to peer behind the magic curtain ? Perhaps we could foster and support an "industry of entertainment" ? One that focuses on the most base...

    Great job by this administration

    I think laying our present situation entirely at the current administrations feet is a huge oversimplification at best. While they certainly bare their share of responsibility for our present circumstance, it isn't all THEM. When seeking to make sense of vast situations that contain so...

    Food For Thought Or How Do You Want Your Goat Grilled

    So lemme see if I get this straight ..... Walmart is generally reviled by most, for exactly what you describe above (undercutting everyone and driving the small businessman out) - so when they don't do that y'all have a problem with it - simply because of WHO it is that they're not doing it to ...

    Food For Thought Or How Do You Want Your Goat Grilled

    Well .... my question would be ..... are you shopping in a Walmart in a community that is primary composed of Fillipinos ? I suspect that if Walmart had stores in the Phillipines and Lechón Baboy is a popular item there you would find it at the meat counter. Do you seriously think McDonalds...
