Absolutely, Linda, because as I said I have little to no trust of Google or Apple when it comes to privacy. Now if 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 outside privacy agencies will certify the security and privacy of my info then I might reconsider.

Since I rarely, well almost never, turn off Bluetooth on my phone if for no other reason than that is what my fitness watch uses, I will not be loading the app. There are ongoing concerns with the privacy that both Goggle and Apple afford users right now as is without letting them access even more. I simply do not trust their privacy assurances. But that is me.

Seriously, before giving up and wiping Windows 10, please, try loading the software that you have and then "right click" and choose to run it compatibility mode. Give it a try! The worse that can happen is that is does not work and you need to uninstall it.

Are you aware that Windows 10 can run in compatibility mode which allows it to emulate older versions of WIndows? No need to load XP at all.

Just an FYI. While Express Scripts does do home delivery of prescriptions for Tricare they are not just for Tricare. My son is in the IBEW (electrician union) and they use Express Scripts and I am sure there are a large number of other plans that do as well.

I apologize. In my mind there is no way possible to separate the two since one IS owned by the other. In fact, should Good Sam Enterprises decide that the "club" was making insufficient revenue it would fold the club in a heartbeat. It is more than an advertising or marketing tool it is a revenue stream. Good Sam Enterprises is struggling somewhat right now in no small part due the acquisition of bankrupt Gander Mountain topped off by nationwide stay at home orders. I personally have no problem seeing Good Sam Enterprises do whatever it takes to maintain as much revenue as possible. At any rate, what's done is done. I haven't gotten much use out of my Good Sam membership, in fact have not even gotten back enough to break even on membership cost, and will not renew again.

Yes, yes, they do with good cause IMO. The articles I provided links to laid out a very clear chain of events, again IMO. At the risk of name calling and based on what you yourself have provided as to your affiliations with Good Sam, you sure sound like a Good Sam apologist.

Who is your insurance provider as that might make a difference the responses you get.

Clearly, not just motorhomes if other posts in this thread are accurate. And finally from a very reputable source (IMO), rvtravel.com, comes the answer. The full article https://www.rvtravel.com/diesel-938/ and there is a follow on article which to me appears that Pilot is doing damage control for Good Sam in its lameness. https://www.rvtravel.com/diesel-939/

Yes, please, some substantiation. The TSD website still says it works at ALL truck stops.

Those look nice but I already have Spigen magnetic phone mounts there on both sides for our phones. 🤔

I've been grappling with where to put my radio ever since I got the current truck a couple of years ago. No offense to your install but that just wouldn't work for me. For one the vents are completely different and I have always liked having the mic and control head on the right. I finally decided just recently to modify one of the drop down sunglasses holders in the overhead as the mounting point and will run an extension via Cat5 for the mic to be on the right side of the steering column. The radio itself will be behind the back seat as well. I'll post a couple of pics when I get it done. Haven't been in a big hurry, just working on it a bit in between other "stay home" projects.

Nice install! That antenna mount is a little too pricey for me but it does look nice.

It is on the Amazon website, but kind of buried. They want you to use chat to resolve issues as a first choice. I actually prefer that for two reasons. One, at the end you have a transcript of the contact and two, as I get older I have a harder time understanding foreign accents over the phone.

Just to point out that depending on Group Size, Consumer Reports would disagree with you as Interstate batteries come in at the top or near the top of the list in a number of sizes. It is definitely worth researching any battery you intend to purchase to make sure you are getting the most for your money.

I have been mulling this statement over. First, why is the USPS providing "last mile" service to these other carriers? It is not because the carriers are throwing USPS a bone, it is because the that last mile is not profitable to those carriers. So if it is not profitable to them, is it really profitable to the USPS? As to Amazon, Amazon Logistics is now delivering 50% of all Amazon deliveries and that number is growing constantly. Amazon's goal is to deliver 100% of orders through its own system which will cut off that revenue stream to the USPS.

I don't see how getting out of a vehicle to service the boxes is any different than a mail carrier walking a route or having to get out at every mail box because they are set in the yard opposite the street side walk. Our daughter has the central boxes and if there are too many parcels for the boxes the carrier then delivers them to the individual residences.

You mean the gentleman that was sent home, with full pay, as he was showing COVID symptoms and was told to quarantine himself for 14 days? That same one that returned to work the next to try to organize a walkout? I'm not too sure that this strike will gather much impetus especially when you consider how many people are looking for work. We shall see.

What in particular did you see that needed improvement? I know we talked to one of the design team about some things we would like to see, for example, venting the range hood to the outside along with some other small things that would not necessarily be deal breakers.

We have our eyes on a new Paradigm by Alliance RV. They are new to the scene but the ones we have seen at RV shows are impressive in the quality of the build and features. They are also designed with most timers or full timers in mind.

Another way that the USPS could save both time and money (think fuel expenses) would be to require neighborhood group mailboxes everywhere, even in most rural areas, similar to what you see in newer neighborhoods.

This was, as I understand, a large part of why T-Mobile wanted the merger. The combined assets will give T-Mobile a huge chunk of the 5G spectrum.

I agree. Full that would add an extra 525 pounds or so behind the axle. Add that and pin weight and those of us with pickups would run the risk of overloading the truck.

We live in Colorado Springs, CO and have had for 30 years now. Our lot is about 7500 SF which is average for the area. When we bought this house which is situated on higher ground we had unobstructed views to the north and east. Now it is all houses and buildings. Proximity to the mountains as always given us a lot of wildlife, and surprising to me, we seem to have more as the city has built outwards. We have some kind of owl hanging out in the blue spruce in front. I have pictures of a Red Tailed hawk enjoying the bird bath in back. We have an epidemic of rabbits and squirrels, which perhaps explains the raptors in the area. We frequently are visited by foxes, coyotes, raccoons, and deer. A short distance away bears have been sighted. In my opinion, and I suppose this should be tempered by terrain, but the animals could move on but don't thanks to humans feeling sorry for them and feeding them. In Colorado that is illegal but it is also very difficult to enforce so the animals are where there are easy pickings.

While there may be some mental illness and dependency issues with many of the people that are homeless and panhandling, the above experiences have been mine as well. This is a case of a few bad apples spoiling the barrel for those that may genuinely need the help. As a result, I will give nothing to any of them.
