Got to see the new Bronco at the Ferd stealership. Nice ride for sure. I’d like it with the 3.5 liter and manual though. Still, as shiatty as Jeeps have been getting the Bronco is a really viable option. But I’d probably pay the Toyota Tax before I bought a Ford.

Shanghai-ed into helping the wife with a birthday party for one of her friends. I hate doing stuff at her friend's houses. It irks me that people can "not know where 'X tool' is"......

Ugh.... good thing I brought the X and it's service truck like tool storage.

Maybe I need to be a mobile mechanic....

Everything is junk. Engineering is happening in the dealerships because they are pushing out unproven and even untested tech. My buddy that was a gm mechanic a couple years ago said most repair SOPs were written by shop techs who discovered how to fix the issues because GM couldn't. I have very little faith in vehicles less than 20 years old....

Not to switch the subject , but I am .
Started the X this morning and the 4wd light in the cluster came on and the little drivetrain with the wheel's that turn black to show 2 or 4 wheel drive didn't come on ? It drove fine so I went to work like that but when it was time to head home I started the X and everything was back to normal . Does/has this happened to anyone else ? How worried should I be ?

Reason, we have human Lab rats. Send to the Masses.. Let them find our Engieering screw ups, that are sub Par. Public is the Best way to test things. Medically, Mechanically, ETC. I like Old things, less chance of failing.

Pull any codes?. I want to say that had something to do with Battery charge..
Find gravel road, Place in 4x4 mode.. drive. little ways.. Return back to Two 2Wheel. see if all works?

would think if something went Bonkers.. Codes should be displayed..
That is my guess..

Also I always feel kinda bad when I try to pronounce them to a new person at the Docs office but then I remember how CVS's computer pronounces them and I feel much better.

For example one im on is pronounced Carvedidol, at least by every Doc and Pharmacists I have gotten it from the system calls to remind me of refills and says "Carvidatidoll"

This is why I’ll never buy the first few model years of a new car or new design. Been burnt by that a couple times.

I'd have to hand them a thumb drive.

You guys are silly..
I take a big ole multi vitamin every day and a probiotic too!

Oh, and some lava Lovenox injections in the stomach that leaves UGE bruises for DVTs or the junk for the severe neuropathy, the crap for the carcinomas, back spasms, cramps, numerous pain pills, anti fungal, anti bacterial, lifetime high doses of Prednisone and immunosuppressants, workin g the kinks out on multiple depression meds, blood thinners, sleep meds and was recently prescribed a CPAP but due to being recently diagnosed with a severe deviated septum and being a side sleeper I can't get used to the machine.. They're messin' with my kidney so I'm on a lasix (sp) so I piss a lot, they're playing with my thyroid and cotizol/adrenaline so I'm on speed, I can't sleep so they're testing some new stuff on me so I have date rape her gma's poodle pills, I have every strength and style of nausea med available in the USA, I take a weekly and monthly shiat for my bones, osteoporosis or arthritis or one of em I got, that keeps me from having my coffee for an hour after I take it 1st thing in the morning. That's the worst one!

So:
21 in the morn
16 at night
1 at 3p

3 with 3 meals
47 daily

@Prime my PayPal must be set to one click n done as I don't have time leave comments, etc..

For the 30oz I was hoping for like a gunmetal gray powder coat or a charcoal or if not a copper would be cool..

So the party was a wash, literally. Wife's big canopy was missing parts and they couldn't get it put up. She went and got three more pop-ups for a total of 6.

I showed up and we got them tied down. Hard to nonchalantly go back and redo what another man did poorly without looking like a jerk. Anyways, got it all tied down and mostly decorated.

Just in time for a massive thunder storm to roll through. We ran out and tried to secure everything back and got soaked. And I mean I've taken showers I didn't get a wet in before....

My Dad joke was " Your luau party turned into a tsunami". Lots of eye rolls!

So everyone chipped in and we got all that taken down and moved the party inside. Then I ran both grills in the rain to get the kabobs done. The girl it was for was in tears when she walked in and saw everything so I guess it was worth it for her.

I'm gonna lobby for a larger grill. If I'm gonna start having to cook for 30 folks, I need more surface area.....

OK. You win.

Cpaps take some getting used to. Ours kept us from Camping for quite a while until I figured out how to power them.

Anti-depressants are a tough one. Finding the right med/dosage is tough and takes time. I hope you find something that works well!
