    Keith Olbermann Special Comment: There Is No 'Ground Zero Mosque' - 08/16/10

    DO NOT TAKE THIS POSTING TO MEAN THAT I AM, IN ANY WAY, PRO-OBAMA!!!! What bugs me is "right wing" or whomever is using this to make him look bad. He's done enough to look bad on his own without having to make shtuff up! Keith Olbermann Special Comment: There Is No 'Ground Zero Mosque' -...

    Annual NET per truck/Fleet Owner ROI

    As I continue on this quest to get rolling, creating acres of excel spreadsheets, most of the numbers are coming up "within expectations". Maybe not "ideal", but close to what I expect them to be and/or in line with info I find here or at other sources. There is, however, one number I need to...

    When Blimps Attack...

    Last week while traveling I stopped at a Zany Brainy store and saw that they had a blimp for sale. It's called Airship Earth, and it's a great big balloon with a map of the Earth on it, and two propellers hanging from the bottom. You blow up the balloon with helium put batteries in it, and you...

    Turtle, that was me that said it's a big indication of the problem likely being Win7. I admit it's not a sure sign, but it, and rumors of other USB problems in Win7 should warrant some scrutiny of the OS. It's not like Microsoft has never done something like this to us before. Admittedly, much...

    Cheri, that's BIG indication that the problem likely lies with Win7.

    The problem being Microsoft its the most plausible I've heard yet. Microsoft has a history of not getting it right on the first try, all the way back to DOS; released (fixed): 1.0 (1.1), 2.0 (2.1), 3.0 (3.1), 3.2 (3.3), and so on... Today it's just "windows update" and "Service Packs"...

    I would be interested to know which notebooks have abandoned the USB standard. If indeed that is the case, then bus powered external hard drives (along with any other high power devices) wouldn't work either. More likely, the power issues are a symptom of another problem causing the unit to...

    Ok, I might be missing something here... A unit load is defined as 100 mA in USB 2.0, and was raised to 150 mA in USB 3.0. A maximum of 5 unit loads (500 mA) can be drawn from a port in USB 2.0, which was raised to 6 (900 mA) in USB 3.0. There are two types of devices: low-power and...

    Oh black water, keep on rollin' (plumbing question)

    Prefect. I was thinking 40-60 for both fresh and gray. Sounds like my numbers are right inline with "real-world" examples.

    Shore Power

    For those of you looking at adding shore power to your truck, or trying to find a better way, I found this in my "travels". It looks like a pretty slick little unit and a much better solution than the simple relays I've seen. They're a little under $200 everyplace I've seen them. Rapid...

    Oh black water, keep on rollin' (plumbing question)

    Ok, I was hoping for 1 week service intervals and it sounds doable. Here is the pan I'm looking at using for a possible retrofit (this one has an 8 gallon tank): They're $115 or $159 depending on the size.
