Congrats Mason :) And I completely agree with dr guy - that is, if you need an excuse to enjoy a beer, this is one of the better ones ;)

One thing about heat, it makes a cold beer taste even better ;-) Fun to read about the cyclist's adventure. A colleague of mine will be cycling from Portland to DC the coming weeks, maybe you'll see some of the cyclists go by - although I expect they'll be giving interstates a pass :-D Should be a sight though, 50 velomobiles in a convoy :)

Dr Guy - if that's true, we should be keeping an eye out for the first wave of gentlemen truckers :)

Hey Mason, hope you're running again - and that the Orlando Bastards get what's coming some day, fat chance probably, but... Saw this in the wsj, thought you might enjoy it http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704896104575139990857438962.html :)

It's the gentleman trucker :) Did you delete the other one or did it get mislayed somewhere? Anyway, sorry to hear about the truck not running, even if it is what it is - it's good to be able to make the money when it's possible in the current circumstances

DL'd immediately, love the new features :) Also have a feature request: can you add the option to choose the recycle bin as the default location for program shortcuts? It's where they inevitably end up anyway ;)

Bummer about the knitting bag, but it looks like you've almost gotten through the waiting time without it. Hope you have a great day tomorrow :) Congrats!

Reply to Which Blues Brother Are You? in Blogging Stardock Forums

Wow, thanks. The only reason? I'm flattered and consider that very kind of you to say. It is nothing but the truth :) I've limited my online reading severely the last months, trying to get some more time for other things, but masonm.joeuser.com is still a regular stop - and I'm sure it will be as long as you keep on writing, so there :p I do visit the homepage though - when I need to login to leave a comment ;)

Looking good Mason :) And I agree with BigBad, as you know, you're a good writer and the only reason I still visit JoeUser at the moment danny

Reply to Free Audio Books Great For Driving in Blogging Stardock Forums

I love the Holmes stories :) If you enjoy the 30 minute radio plays from the 30s & 40s as well, there's lots of fun to be had at archive.org . Just look for Holmes in the audio section - I don't know exactly how many were made, but over 20 years I expect there's some time to go before you've heard them all.. Of course most won't be Conan Doyle stories, but you can't have everything. (Trying to find how many there were and found <a href="http://ww

(just wanted to say it was good to see you back online :) Hope the trucking is still bringing in some business)

Reply to It's Just A Piece Of Cloth in Blogging Stardock Forums

Good to see you happy Mason :) As for the silly piece of cloth, I'm still in two minds about them I think - anyone trying to sell me something wearing one of those will have a hard time convincing me, it's like a flashing neon sign saying 'crook' just above his head :p Others just behave differently in a suit and tie - still I think respect is something you earn more than just receive because of a nice tie or suit. First impressions help, but if you're stuck with someone for longer tha

Ok :) Will do! edit: watched a few of the roadmovies, you sound very relaxed :) I'm sure people could listen to mason's talk radio :)

Reply to Summer Cold in Blogging Stardock Forums

Get well Mason :)

Reply to A Voice For Radio in Blogging Stardock Forums

I wonder what you'd sound like :) Strange how even if you never really think about it you tend to have a certain image of someone you've never met in your head :p You can probably do a weekly mason's trucking adventures podcast, play a few tunes, pick some great stories from your years on the road :) Hmmm and the discussion of interest isn't really an issue is it, seeing as you're 5th leading user on the site? :D

Hmmm and the answer to the question in the title is of course: To get to the other side of the road without tripping over his pants ;) edit: correct typo

:) Now you have a tough decision to make, buy new clothes or go drink some more beer :D Seriously, hope all is ok and it's just a metabolic adjustment :) Be safe!

Reply to Call Me Cowboy One More Time in Blogging Stardock Forums

Driving through a car wash with your clothes pinned to the outside of the truck isn't an option I think? :-D

Reply to It's Better Than Nothing in Blogging Stardock Forums

No way you get boring :) My firefox wants to send me to masonm.joeuser.com when I start typing joe. Haven't got much to add usually, but I enjoy reading - a lot. I can understand that when people don't comment it may look like there's nobody reading, but I can assure you I'm here just about every day :) What's more, I'm sure I'm not the only one either :) I'll leave you some more comments :) (Although there is a reason I usually leave the writing to people like you who can ;))</

Brad, nice video :) Good explanation too, I'll go and try it out in a bit. Two things: for me it ended abruptly in the last second, missing the last few words and second: put a link to stardock and/or fences in the description :)
