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.

This is way after the fact but it might be informative to some others as well. This is a quote from an article that that is found here. I would also add that I have use brines for chicken, turkey, pork loin, boston butt, pork chops, various steaks over the years. The only thing I have never brined is a brisket, well, because a brisket done right can't get any juicier or more tender.

I use the Academy as it is closest to our house. We have had coffee already, courtesy of you (I am the guy that bought that FloJet from you). We are in Texas for the Holidays and will be back after the first of the year. Next time coffee is on me at our house. I will call or text after we get back.

Wait, what??? Is this available in all BX/PX's? I have to get this!

I agree! We go on base to see our doctors or pick up prescriptions and then, and only then, will go to the Commissary. About the only thing I can say is definitely cheaper in there is meat. Other than that, by the time you add on the surcharge, all other products are less expensive off base (at least here in Colorado where food items are tax exempt). The Class 6 store (liquor store) has some decent prices but I would rather support my locally owned neighborhood store. And the base, at least ours, does not carry diesel but the posted price of gas is no bargain especially with a loyalty card from the grocery store.

Fair warning, I had a set of the those poles that I got at the flea market there in the RGV and even with them installed properly a sudden gust of high wind still damaged one of the awning arms. The cost of that repair made me realize that the poles simply were not worth it. I have not considered tying down my awning since.

Yup! When we had our Prowler we racked up a lot of miles but they were all in areas that did not have the dreaded width posts.

I don't see that you wasted space, it is after all in the "other" area and it is the real, for now at least. While the Roxor looks like a baby Jeep you can get other off road UTV's with diesel engines by some major companies such as John Deere, Kubota or Cat,

What is your source of the court fight as a settled matter? The article Ray posted has this: And Mihindra makes the Roxor, which is actually the Thar but assembled in US. As of yesterday Bloomberg reporting shows that court proceedings are ongoing and FCA only won their case in front of an administrative judge. More at this link.

Which model did you get? When I had my Tailgater it was the smallest available. I see they have a couple smaller ones now.
