I hate Peoplenet, where are you parked and recipes thread

Surprisingly I can still read the great majority of code as it wizzed by...

Understanding what he did though will take more time and potentially a couple more watches.

 

Nice setup! Congrats! I do like being the low blade of grass in my little plastic KW. Not much bling and only a single plain stack hiding behind the fairing, but no problems keeping up in the left lane.

An MXS turns up quite nicely. Or, so I've heard

Next time get a Dometic. It has a real compressor style refrigeration system in it, and can be set as low as 0ºF if that's what you want.

I have the CF-018DC, which is small but easily portable. I'm off the truck as much as on it, so I chose a model that is easier to haul in and out but still have some fresh groceries when I want them. Only rated for 3A, so good for any cigarette lighter. The little inverter I use to pre-cool it at home has never read over 2A on it's meter, however. So, friendly to your truck's electrics.

Hard to find in stock anywhere. If you order online, I would not recommend adventurerv.net, where I bought my second one of these (got one for my son to take on his truck). They were on back order and I was never notified of that until I complained after over two weeks. I did finally get the item almost 4 weeks later. Better to buy elsewhere and call them to verify they actually have it and will ship right away.





Standard size paper towel rolls to the right give an idea of actual size. The section on the left is deep to the bottom, the right section is half that, with the compressor and whatnot under that part.



With the temp set like this, it reaches about 33ºF inside. Once in a while I'll have ice in a bottled water if it's been in there more than 1/2 a day.

Next time you're out there, you'll need to do a little yard work. Go to Home Depot or Lowe's and get a 5 lb bag of ant powder. I had the best results at my house with Over-and-Out brand, but it's a little more expensive than others.

We park backed up to some not very well kept green space adjacent to a vacant lot. With reefers that are at times loaded with raw chicken, there's often goop coming out of the drains. Oddly, that doesn't attract them much. However, the bugs splattered on the front of the trucks appeals to them sometimes. I take a sling blade to the weeds behind the trailer to make sure none are touching it. Then overdose the grassy area with ant powder. I'm just now seeing a few ants emerge so it's due for another dose. Last time was over three years ago and no ant problems since. I guess when you tread an area with 4X the recommended use, it makes it nice and toxic LOL.

 

I work for Frito Lay and we use Peoplenet I'm wondering why ants are attracted to it. Thanks

 

Red....we inframed mine bout 18 months ago at 1.55...and now it is much stronger than original....but the couple of 6nz still around will out pull it....and all specd the same.....18/336....

 

LOL! Sorry, Cranky, didn't mean to net you any bicep bruises.

I'm a copy editor and tend to go about life on the theory that everyone else has the same vocabulary I do. Which I shouldn't, cuz Blu pointed out that he doesn't know the word cogent, either. (btw, it means "relevant to the conversation")

Has nothing to do with smarts, as I generally feel that I have to work at it to keep up with him in the smarts department. Believe me, if I tried to discuss trucking or automotive stuff with you guys, I'd come off sounding about as bright as a stunned cod.

 

Red, thanks for the posting the info on the 'fridge I'm gonna be needing one it looks like......The 'fridge in the Pete no worky..

 

of the millions of cod i killed off the coast of Mass I never thought of any of them as bright . They certainly didn't look too smart in my net

 

I'm not chasin em up the hills too much either. At 836k I opted for just a mild bump to 550, and not till after I put on a new radiator and ditched that catalyst muffler for a Megaflow. 13/325 built for more level roads. I leave that over the top power to the pioneers that can afford to replace all the other parts they break with it.

They make a bunch of different models. Someone that stays in the truck longer at a time might go with a larger one and use it like a built-in model. That little one I got has enough room for a 3-4 day supply of stuff I like. Fits snug in front of the passenger seat (T600) within reach to grab a bottled drink or snack. Adding that cooler greatly improved my diet.

 

I've got a 2 year old laptop that froze up two months ago ( Windows 10 tried to hijack it at startup ) and this tower unit has no sound, so I have no idea what was said in the "Huge tracts of land" video. Anybody wanna clue me in ?
