The creators of the series Frasier said on the commentary track for the pilot episode that there was a conscious choice made to not include a score during any episodes- you hear the intro music with the title card, and Grammer singing that “tossed salads and scrambled eggs” but during the end...

I just witnessed terrible driving- zero courtesy. A guy in a U Haul, towing a car behind, welded himself into the hammer lane, doing slightly below the speed limit, refusing to move over, or keep the lane clear. Numerous people had to get around him by passing on the right. If my truck were a...

I use close to a book per year (12 car payments, 4 trash pick up payments, and a couple of odds and ends). I’ll get another couple of sheets of the forever stamps.

Scary how many clerks can’t make change, or complete a proper transaction for a small dollar purchase. Nobody can/wants to do simple math in their head.

My theory is there are some drivers that squawk about their loads/situations, so the dispatchers have to lie to other, more accommodating drivers to shut the malcontent up. I do know that the job of dispatcher is one I would never take under any circumstances- they are under a good deal of...

Freight company dispatchers- not to be trusted. I strongly feel I was lied to today. I was on my way back to the house, and I get a phone call. As soon as I saw the company number come up on the caller ID, I knew I was not going home. They wanted me to complete a load that another driver “didn’t...

You’d think there would be air freshener in public one seat lavatories, but they probably get stolen.

I’m pretty sure I’m on my 9th repair shop visit in the last 3 weeks, with our company trailers. My dispatchers claim the other drivers maintain this beaten up junk, but I find that hard to believe. I’m much more than annoyed- my blood pressure is likely at stroke level. 😡

Road crews doing macadam patches during the day, tying up traffic. Why can’t they do this shit at night, when traffic is decreased? I wouldn’t put it past some genius to schedule farting around with this stuff on Monday, April 8th (almost positive that’s when the total solar eclipse is supposed...

Newly built roads that are horribly antiquated when they open. Just north of Cincinnati, there is a brand new off ramp from I-75 south that feeds into I-74 west. When they get everything finished in this spot, it will be better and safer- the new ramp itself is much better than what they had...

Good news is the car wash is standing behind its employee in this incident, and the scummy customer has been banned.

There’s a short clip on X that has gone viral- at an Indiana car wash, a customer rolled down their window, and tossed a beverage at an employee (I saw a little of that video- clearly done intentionally). Without missing a beat, the employee turns around, and shoots the high power stream of...

Take it from me- heat pumps are very inefficient in the Winter, and the energy bill takes a beating.

I would get these fishing calls on a regular basis. If I don’t recognize the number, I don’t answer the call. They might have given up on my number- I haven’t gotten one in quite a while now. This practice of harassing a citizen by phone only hinders the potential for donations. I got a call...

Sorry to say rain is expected in your commute tomorrow. Hopefully things go better.

Infuriating- the fucking antiquated I-65 between the KY/TN border and Nashville. They have needed 3 lanes here for years, and now road work has us down to one lane, so I’ve been sitting in stopped traffic for almost 30 minutes. Horse shit! 😡🖕

I used to be a huge sports fan, now I rarely watch. I agree with anyone who says some fans just have no manners, or respect. Slobs.

Good to hear that you’re fixed up so quickly. I bought a new heat pump in June 2022, because the original one that was installed when my house was built went belly up (it was a piece of junk anyway). Last Winter, I got back off the road, and walked into my house that was about 41 degrees inside...

I have only seen a handful of episodes. Will have to borrow the DVDs from my brother, and binge.

I remember that commercial.

This is so much more than annoying- it’s pathetic, infuriating and sad. This is a photo of the property where I park my truck for home time. The store spent a bunch of money and time not long ago to clean up, and also place a dumpster about 150 feet away from this shit. These slob truckers give...

What an unexpected nightmare going I-75 south towards Atlanta at about 5:00PM. I figured I was going opposite rush hour traffic, so it wasn’t going to be that bad. WRONG! Traffic was stacked for 26 miles down to the 285, near the new Braves ballpark. Just awful. 😡

Yes Austin now has the reputation of being a huge pain in the keister to get through, even without the orange barrels. There’s a toll road that was built a few years ago that bypasses the town to the east- the advisable way to go.

Was it due to just traffic volume, or were there wreck delays? I drove through Cincinnati during the time of afternoon rush hour, and traffic was considerably lighter than normal- I guess I was lucky.

Glad to hear the trip went without incident.

I used to drive US59 on a regular basis down to Houston. I liked that route. Be safe.

Another bad trailer today. Good news is the shop I stopped at put me right inside, and had the replacement part, so I should be on my way shortly- no 9 hour wait, like Saturday.

I bet there’s more that plays into who’s in/ who’s out than what happens on the field, and strength of schedule comparisons. Ratings likely plays a substantial role in these decisions.

Even though I don’t follow the college game, I would have been shocked if an SEC team wasn’t invited to play in the tournament.

I got stuck with a dangerous trailer last night. While doing my pre-trip inspection, I noticed that one of the brake drums appeared to be rusty, and the brake shoes on that drum needed replacing. I notified the safety guy. This morning, I also noticed that a tire had a couple of chunks out of...
