How many truckers does it take to change a light bulb?

3 to reminisce about the old days before light bulbs existed.
18 more to complain about the FMCSA rules governing how to change the bulb.
4 more to complain about the FCC rules governing the type of bulb to replace it with.
6 more to complain about the OSHA rules governing what clothing to wear while changing the bulb. 8 more to say you can't wear flip flops
14 more to praise paper logs
7 more to praise ELOGs
An argument between the ELOG and paper log crowds between 20 more drivers.
3 politically correct drivers to call it a chicken light.
4 more to say it's a marker light
6 to say that having a chicken light is illegal
7 more to say that if its there it must always work, or CSA will get you.
A Swift driver to post a 'how to' guide, citing correct references from the FMCSA, FCC and OSHA.
28 more drivers to bash the Swift driver because of the company they drive for.
8 union drivers to say "that's not my job" followed by praising unions.
20 more drivers to bash the union drivers.

a small town in the middle of Michigan's lower penninsula is the scene of a gas war, it's below 80 cents a gallon

Oil is less than 30 dollars a barrel right now, and that's the lowest since 2003. So, these guys aren't losing a lot of money. http://www.9and10news.com/story/30988075/houghton-lake-gas-prices-drop-below-one-dollar

Meanwhile, here in San Diego, gas is still over 2.79

here is 3.59 a gallon at one of the more expensive places in town. All Chevrons are over priced

Veikko Sikiö hand made one cool bike. He cast the bronze and aluminum parts, wow!

"... make a liquid gas furnace, big enough to melt necessary amount of aluminium. I also had to make myself all the other tools which were to be needed in the casting-work. "

The usage of the clutch and the brake works with the same pedal. The system works as following: when you press the pedal, it first frees the clutch and when you continue pressing the pedal, the brake kicks in. I made a test version of the leverage system at first, so that I found the right relations

"First rim was a failure, but the second and the third were successful enough. On the front rim there were made places for 24 magnets, which are producing electric current for the lights when combined with a self made coil. I lathed the rims to the final size with a big lathe from at my workplace; the rims were too large for my own lathe. After some polishing and grinding I balanced the rims. One rim took 35 grams extra material and the other 50 grams, so the rims were a great success."

the most red neck - trailer trash kind of car repair I've seen in a long time

Stealing a bunch of magnetic car caps and a garbage bag to cover a broken window... that is terrible
