I hate Peoplenet, where are you parked and recipes thread

Supposedly got a load going to Roachester over the weekend. Not a bad haul and keeping my fingers crossed for an easy run back in time for Mescan Thanksgiving.

I make an exception to a few stops that were probably something else before PFJ bought 'em. That would be the ones with generous parking. Like Oak Grove, KY. Or ones with Moe's.

I'd pay for a parking space at the TA for @joseph1135 then con him into cooking dinner. Steaks or sausage and noodles would be just fine.

Suprised they aren't doing this further north first. But something DD fans to look forward to. Home delivery. This will probably not work for anything outside of downtown, but who knows? It might take off.

You probably don't need a glow pin, but buy the tool to remove it if you don't have one. It's like $10 bucks. I just get my Espar parts at the TK dealer. The parts I've seen on line aren't really discounted that much, and the websites don't inspire a lot of confidence.

Pro tip: If you're Espar heater sometimes doesn't re-start, or is sending out smoke signals when it does, it's probably got a clogged up vent hole, near the top of the socket that the glow pin fits in just above the screen. #2 in the diagram below. You have to clean/scrape it out with a torch tip tool, the tip of a pocket knife, or the like. Do this while you're in there changing the screen. Easier to get at properly when removed from the truck and taken apart.

 

how ghetto

 

that red guy is a lot smarter then i look

 

the only people I know that are more independent and stuck in their ways then truck drivers are fisherman
90% are one boat operations and since 1995 the gubbermint has been closing loopholes to freedom
Today every commercial boat in the country has black boxes on it
you have to sign in before you leave the dock where your going ,length of trip and sought after species
some fisheries have cameras run by the gubbermint to monitor what fish are brought aboard
some fisheries are tracked by the black boxes by gubbermint employees in Gloucester Mass that have 200 people like air traffic controllers that know where every boat is at all times
If I wanted to go to the Isles of Shoals from Portsmouth
ie line 5 I had to sign in that I wasn't fishing and if the Coast Guard stopped me I could be arrested if there were any fish aboard
If this doesn't sound familiar carry on

 

sorry straight stacks for the run on sentences and dangling participles

 

I'd have to agree with @Vilhiem on this. Just get whatever you like. They all have their little issues, but generally nothing too terrible. The leading brand names tend to support their product with operating system updates a little better.

That said, my current phone is a Sony Xperia V3 on Verizon. Not surprising that is has about the best camera and audio I've seen. The rest of it is just ok. Unfortunately, I believe it is an orphan in the Verizon North America universe. Not even listed on their website any more. They're more popular in Europe, where I believe they already have released a more better new model. So I cannot recommend it. I also bought the Sony tablet. It's even better at handling entertainment content, and even got an upgrade to Android 5.0 before the dam phone did.

The Motorolas I have had previously tended to be a bit more solid. My son likes the Samsung phones and hasn't had a lot of complaints with his now old Galaxy 3.

I also favor Apple computers, and had iPhones up to the 4s. What I dislike about Apple mobiles is that they are usually two steps behind the latest technology, and the apps are designed to work really well with Apple apps and work badly with just about anything else. So far, I've found the Google apps to be the most portable, running really well on just about everything but Apple apps. I still use a Macbook Air and will probably buy another one when this one dies. The MacPro I'm using right now at home is a 2009 model and still faster than any consumer model sold today. I'll just keep saying no to iPhones or iPad LOL.

 

what about the rest of us ? ....

 

Take a shoe!

 

is he allowed to smack him with it ?

 

Where's red pencil guy when someone needs thwaped upside of da head?
