Either way, the Statey is sure to let you go on your way. ; )

Yesterday I had a trailer brake catch on fire , (which also melted the
tire), pulled over, put it out, then a statey stopped. Oh no. He was
real nice, tried to help. Had his dispatcher make a call for me as we
were in a valley (no cell service). He even gave me his home phone
no. in case I had trouble later on that night.

Where would Scotty Potti get 300 bucks? Selling his boat would still leave him
229.50 short.

You'll make Horvath jealous. Scotty pott's his bitch.

How's the fathering going RB? I'm at the other end of the line, with my
youngest (of 3) just going off to college. College is like the big bubble
payment at the end of all the other seemingly endless payments. Unless
you're independently wealthy, my best advice is to start a college fund for
the little guy, now. The other advice is to find ways to enjoy your time
with him (sailing is a great start). Scout

My congratulations, or condolences:) I only have one kid and he just
started college. Costs have gone up. I was more than a bit surprised
to find that used textbooks for one semester of basic freshman classes
were almost $700. He had better learn something:) One of the great
quotes that I recall from one of my profs.."education is one of the
few things people are willing to pay for and not receive.":) Sad but
true:)

Yep, the costs sure have gone up. I'm seeing a significant difference
between my first and my last to go. When he's done I will have put 5 of us
through college and I'm calling it quits!

For me, the guilt of not getting up at night was the hard part. I made up
for it later though.
That's great about the college!

Tomorrow will be two weeks since Thomas was born. So far it's been
interesting,
but not as hard as I expected. We sleep at night for the most part. We
have to
wake him for feedings. He gets fussy in the early evening and we work hard
to
entertain him, which is mostly a lot of fun. It's early yet, but I'm
having
fun. Luckily, his college is already paid for via his grandparents.

Ha! All three of mine (2 kids, 1 wife) are done with skool and all
have jobs. The 2 youngins moved out 3 weekends ago. Lisa & I are

Whats the specific gravity for diesel?

# 2 weighs around 7 lbs.

7.65


Scotty...Do you have some sort of Tankermans endorsement in the
trucking industry?


There is, but I did not get it. Have no use for it.


I received my tankermans endorsement the same time I sat for my AB.
It's a good course. Lots of nasty stuff that will kill you if your
not
doing things correctly.

I got the hazmat endorsement when they first came out, a lot of gov't
bull if you ask me. I did not renew it after 2 years.

Yeah its pretty basic common sence. I had to get one while pushing
around fuel flats. But its the people that have no understanding of
gasoline ect that get toasted. We use to push all the fuel southern
pacific RR used in the Houston area. Also used to fuel up all the
ships visiting Houston, got some great stuff trading with the ships
visiting houston from around the world.

Yeah your talking about the weight of the fuel. I was talking about
specific gravity as compared to water.

Specific Gravity is dimensionless unit defined as the ratio of density
of the material to the density of water at a specified temperature.
Specific Gravity can be expressed as:

SG = = ρ / ρH2O

where

SG = specific gravity

ρ = density of fluid

ρH2O = density of water

It is common to use the density of water at 4 oC (39° F) as reference
- at this point the density of water is at the highest.

Thermal Properties of Water Density, Freezing temperature, Boiling
temperature, Latent heat of melting, Latent heat of evaporation,
Critical temperature .... .

Since Specific Weight is dimensionless it has the same value in the
metric SI system as in the imperial english system (BG).

At the reference point specific gravity has same numerically value as
density.

Example - Specific Gravity
If the density of iron is 7850 kg/m3, 7.85 grams per cubic millimeter,
7.85 kilograms per liter, or 7.85 metric tons per cubic meter - the
specific gravity of iron is:

SG = 7850 kg/m3/ 1000 kg/m3 = 7.85

where the density of water is 1000 kg/m3.

It is critical to understand the specific gravity of fluids you carry
on deck in tanks. If you do not.... and just go by volume guessing
weight you can get in mucho trouble in a heart beat.

I carried fluids that had as high as a 4.6 SG

Joe



Scotty

My boat only holds 12 gallons, so SG is no concern to me. My truck
holds 260 gallons so I need to know the weight sometimes. You sound
awfully smart. Did you go to college?
