How to Jump Start a Semi Truck Battery

February 15, 2021 by chito

So, foolish me, I forgot to start my truck on a regular basis. I let a week go before starting it and the engine won't completely turn over, even though I could hear the starter motor try to turn the engine. Heck, it's been a frigid February in DC. I knew I needed a jump start, so my first instinct was to order a Truck Pack battery booster from Northern Tool. I was going … [Read more...] about How to Jump Start a Semi Truck Battery

Smiley’s Tow

June 9, 2020 by chito

TA Petrol customer service contacted me today to get more info on what happened - that was a promising sign. But TA Paulsboro still declined to cover the warranty. They didn't want to take responsibility for their mistake and were afraid they potentially damaged my engine. So I ordered a tow from Smiley's in South Hill. I had them come the same time that the recovery driver … [Read more...] about Smiley’s Tow

Missing Bolts on Oil Pan

June 7, 2020 by chito

After spending a half day parked in DC so I can run errands, I drove towards Houston hoping to get as far south as I can making up for lost time. I didn't want to push it too hard because I didn't want to run into Tropical Storm Cristobal, battering the Gulf coast. I made it 190 miles to the Walmart in South Hill, VA (330 miles today from Paulsboro NJ) before they shut down … [Read more...] about Missing Bolts on Oil Pan

After I retired from the Navy, I attended George Washington University to get my MBA. I left with a diploma, and also with a food tech startup called RUNINOut. Our goal was to add as many restaurants, stores and attractions to the site and after running it for five years, I had oversaturated the local Washington, DC market. It was time to take RUNINOut on the road.

In order for my startup to grow, I had to add more restaurants – that meant getting outside this blessed Beltway and exploring the highways and byways in small town suburbia.
