    Never trust the Dash for mpg’s. I’ve yet to see one that wasn’t at least 5-7% off. My guess is the actual is 6.9 mpg.

    That would be going with Me. Make a nice spare. If it’s bent or ? $40 at the scrapyard.

    Now that’s a beauty. I’d like to get something similar for stripes on mine. Something old school. Standard Freightliner type stripes, but unique. 70’s,+80’s paint schemes were the best. 90’s it was one solid color. Nice clean new look at the time. Retro stripes on mine would look great. Once I get all the old ones off completely.

    Not really. I read food labels. A single innocent looking hostess cupcake is worse.

    High fructose corn syrup is probably the worst ingredient.

    This is why TA is the best. Always looking for new ways not to get it done.

    I boil my eggs EXACTLY the same way, every time. It's amazing to me how one will be super easy to peel and I end up losing half the egg white with the other. Very perplexing. I've often wondered if it has anything to do with the eggs freshness. Maybe air between the egg surface and that membrane. I think this subject would have garnered some government funding. Are there any chicken men among the group?

    There’s a Load to Wyoming paying $5500. $5.00 a Mile. Almost to SLC. Not enough money for me. No chains, barely tread on this Truck. That ####s for real Truckers. Not a part timer like me.

    Actually it's dead on. I realize it sucks to have a truck that struggles to get 5, and you pay like $30K a year more for fuel than I do.

    But that's just a new car you could have. A new house in 7 or 8 years. Cash.

    But hey, you got dat old arn.
