I actually have a gps, but you cant take the parkways with the trucks. Someone must make a unit that will show truck routes.

Anyway I back in Ct now, until monday morning, the back to NY.

Jim we are installing sports lights at a soccerfield, Its the first time Ive worked in the city since 9/11. My next job is in Staten Island. Ive never even been there.

Ill pass on the Thai food, my guys like TGIFs or Outback, stuff like that. I dont care were I eat, as long as the help is happy.

Yeah, most expensive worst meal I had was TGIF in Manhatta. Cost the same as the 4 course meal at the other place, only had a soda, GF had water, had a burger, and she had two small side dishes. Was $60 roughly for those few items.

Not sure on a GPS that avoids parkways, some ask about toll roads, but not parkways or non-commercial roads.

This is pretty funny. I especially enjoy how their "contact us" page has no contact info. I also find the "About Us" page rather concerning. Why can't I shake the feeling this PICC thing is a pyramid scheme?!?!

Man, those Egyptians really were on to something big, and they didn't realize it way back then.

both the "contact us" and "about us" pages are concerning, but especially the "contact us" page. its deff some kind of scheme, i figured that out once i read the headline saying an suv could get 44 mpg. the whole adding water to the fuel thing took the cake though.

Please let me clarify:

This pyramid:

Not this pyramid:

Take the aforementioned Ford tractor over to the grandparents house in order to push back the snow bank I've created there. After that I've got to make sure my grandpa's van still has no flat tires and make sure the battery is charged. After that I'll go visit my truck and take it out for a little off-road fun to keep all the seals moist and keep the turbo from getting stuck.

Hi Ken:

My weekend plans have been a changing.

I had an appointment to have my van looked at on Saturday for tranny complaints, coolant seepage and an oil change since its in.

The Tranny finally set a code today while I was actually driving by the dealership so I made a u-turn and had them meter the van. Great for me as now the issue is verified and becomes warranty versus diagnostics R&R at customer's request.

Now the dealership can't get me in tomorrow because they can't get the other diesel out, so an appointment TDB next week.

Hopefully I'll have breakfast out with Wifee on Saturday.

Ken:

Use to be my wife doled out the money, for she was making more than me.

Now I pick up the tab, plus I can order more with less complaint.
