    Make sure when switching between winter and summer that you change the air in your tires. You can't run with the same air for both. Also check the jake brake pads. They wear fast.

    friend, driving home from a fishing trip in northern Michigan with his boat in tow, had engine trouble a few miles inland from Lake Huron. He didn't have a CB radio in his car, so he decided to use his marine radio to get help. Climbing into his boat, he broadcast his call letters and asked for assistance.

    A Coast Guard officer responded, "Please give your location."

    "I'm on Interstate-75, two miles south of Standish."

    The officer paused, "Could you repeat that?"

    "I-75, two miles south of Standish."

    A longer pause. Then an incredulous voice asked, "How fast were you going when you hit shore?"
