  1. Reason number 2841 that it is time for a change at the top.

    Yikes!!

    I trained a lot of women to drive big trucks, starting with my first wife. I worked at a driver training school for about three years in the late 80s, and the ratio was one in 12 female vs male. Anecdotally, the real world ratio is much lower, even today.
  4. I have a Ryobi circular saw and I am not impressed. Very difficult to make square cuts as the protractor is cheaply made and not at all accurate. my tools are all corded but I would like to go cordless when it comes to replacement time

    Yikes!!

    Wow! Pretty dramatic scene. Now I want to see the Highway through Hell gang recover the truck.
  6. Might have to work something out but he would have to store them until next February.
  7. Yeah no joy. Waited until about 2:30 and then had to go. As of this morning no email that it’s ready for pick up but we woke up in our own beds at home so hopefully we can cancel for a refund when it comes in.
  8. In Allan Park Michigan. My wife has been shopping for a specific type of beach chair that seem to be unavailable in the frozen north. In spite of the fact that contrary to popular lore, we actually do have beaches. So she found what she wanted on the Home Depot website for online purchase only, not sold in store. Anyway, if she had thought of this earlier, we could have had it delivered to a local store in Florida and picked it up there, but ordered it at the last minute to ship to Michigan and hoped it would get there in time. She got a message saying it would be ready for pickup on the 29th, and it shows it was loaded on a UPS truck at 7:14 in Detroit. So far nothing, but we are going to wait another hour and if still nothing we will cancel the order and head for the border.
  9. Day two done. Camped at Walmart in Sidney Ohio nestled nice and snug between a couple of 18 wheelers. I'm feeling right at home. Took a side trip downtown to a Chinese restaurant cause we were both kind of feeling like something different than Cracker Barrel. The seating area was dark and empty and we were told it was takeout only. So we went next door to a pizza joint which we were happy with. Drove through high winds all day which really killed the gas mileage. Torrential rain through the northern part of Tennessee too. Now my wife is complaining about the cold and wants to turn around.
  10. Which part? Canada is a pretty big place. If you are in our neck of the woods, please drop in.
  11. I had the chicken pot pie 🥧
  12. First day done. Parked at Cracker Barrel Marietta Ga.
  13. The pleasure was mine. Now my wife knows at least a couple of you guys aren’t imaginary.
