I bought a $5 cable from PC Mobile Tools a while ago, thinking I could get my pics from my cell to my PC and was disappointed when I found out my Alltel wasn't compatible. I got an update today and I can now transfer pics from my cell to my PC and then to photobucket! w00t! Here's my ride of the that day! (I usually drive #85. I'll get a pic of that now that I can tranx pics!) The mileage on my second daily ride Freightliner (#86): And you thought your car, with 200,000 miles on it was worn out....

Your dogs are cool. Mileage is different for a rig than a car. My family's business has numerous old Ford trucks with over 200K on the clock if that element still works. I assume the rigs are measured in hours too.
The upper truck is a Volvo. My family is loyal to the blue oval.
The company owns about 70 trucks, plus the family's cars. My father must think he's somehow related to Henry.

HA! The boys (Jack and Russell) thank you. They like you, too....if you throw a ball, that is!
I love Volvo rigs - such as #85. They're not as powerful but, the ride...OH MY GOD!!!.....tons better!!
I'd spend 11 hours in a Volvo over 1 hour in a Freightliner!
We just picked up a new '09 Freightliner "Cascadia". I haven't driven it, yet, but, I hear bad things - especially since the new "2007 Low-Sulfur Diesel" standards.
I'll film it when I can.
I'll see it I can get vids from my cell. I'm also looking at getting a video camera on the cheap.
Let's cross our fingers on that.

I have the most basic features on my cell phone but soon they're becoming a hand held computer. We check my youtube account sometimes at work with a guy's cell phone.

Back in December I just upgraded to a flip phone. It doesn't even have a camera, but can text and do some IM stuff. One of these days I will get a camera phone, but not right now.

I finally hunkered down and ordered a regular camcorder.
There was a sale, so I got it 'on the cheap'.
There will be many new videos about stuff in the future.

The problem I ran into when I ordered the cable and software was that my cell "was not compatible'
For some reason, it worked the other day ago..
I tried to re-synch my cell yesterday and it didn't work. I'll have to remember how I did it the first time.
I hate new electronics! There should just be a big "ON-OFF" switch and everything works O.K. after that!
