I truthfully think that the E470 company will scam you anyway they think they legally can and then the burden of proof is on you, not them. At one time I had co-signed on a vehicle for my son. When it was paid of I signed full title to him. E470 tried to get me to pay a license read toll my son incurred well after the title was all his claiming I was a co-owner. I took a picture of the title, highlighted the date and emailed it to them. Never heard from them again. I do not know for sure how it works but the state does give them legal authority to collect tolls and levy fines if those tolls are not paid. However, I do not think they have direct access to state records and thus have to purchase them and do not keep them up to date.

When we lived in Colorado I used E-470 as infrequently as possible. It was good to get to the airport from Colorado Springs. Once coming back from an RV trip they tried to charge me almost $70 for the loop around Denver from I-25 to I-25 because the truck had temp tags although I did have the transponder. I argued what was the point of the transponder if they were not going to use it and eventually got the charge reduced to the tag rate. From then on I just gritted my teeth and went through Denver in the center lane with the RV. Because E-470 is a private company and not a public entity they can charge pretty much what they want.

It worked, now there a way to contact you for additional pictures? Like of the interior?

This is something I pulled out of Google Photos. I simply right clicked the image, choose Copy Image, then came here and used Control-V to paste the image in. Hope this helps. Well, after I came back it did not work, so nevermind my way.

WIth Veteran's Day 2023 coming on Saturday, November 11th the VA has posted an article on known freebies and discounts for veterans. Veteran's Day Discounts

Just out of curiosity where did you get that date? I could not find any dates beyond December 2023 on either the US50info site or the CDOT site. Unless I am blind, which is entirely possible. 😂

I agree. CCleaner runs daily and automatically on my laptop and would cause the same thing. It took me a little digging to find the right cookie and then add it to the exemption list. It is not just this site that relies on a cookie to stay logged in either.

We had an instance when I ended up in the hospital. We were staying at a military famcamp, it was at the height of the season, and my wife did not know how to move the RV. She notified the office and she was able to stay in the space we were in with them juggling things around for other visitors. We were also fortunate that the RV next to us was occupied by a newly retired pilot who assisted my wife with RV chores so that she could be at the hospital with me. The key here was notifying the office, explaining in detail the situation and then asking politely how it could be worked out. We ended up being there 5 days longer than planned and the office staff just took it day by day. They were great and apparently when they explained the reason to folks that were supposed to be in our space everyone was quite accommodating. I think most folks can be agreeable if provided with information.

Good advice from Bruce T. I would also add that while not the only place to buy an RV, Texas has PPL Motorhomes which has a pretty large selection of RVs of all types for sale.

I do not have Tik Tok but the same could be said of Instagram, X, Truth, Reddit, Pinterest, Snapchat or any of the other multitude of social media apps. It all depends on the source, in other words who is doing the posting. For example, there is one individual on X that I follow for the entertainment value which is actually drivel, but it is funny (to me) drivel.

If I am remembering it correctly, is it not Big5er ?

Thanks for the confirmation of what I had heard from other places. For most of the lower 48 I have been told it will need the northern exposure.

Yes, I am saying a little prayer that my financial advisor is on top of things and know what he is doing. 🙂

Let's break this down. Starlink needing to see the "northern" sky is false. We'll circle back to this. Their satellites can be anywhere overhead. - True. Dishy orients itself to the north so it's uplink (which is less directional than the receive side) doesn't interfere with geosynchronous satellites over the equator. - Also true. Now, back to the original sentence - partially true. It is true that it does not need to see the northern sky. In fact, I have been told that the farther north you are located the less northerly the dish orients. I cannot personally verify that. If your clear view at your location is any other direction but northerly you are going to be out of luck. Therefore, for the reason stated in sentence three you really do have to have a clear view of the northern sky since that is the direction the dish orients itself.

Read an article in the New York Post this morning that some folks getting the booster are being billed for it as not all insurance carriers have updated their codes to cover the shot. People looking to get new COVID vaccine getting hit with $190 fees: report

If you are in Texas I would walk away from the Fuzion. I looked at the specs and it says two 3/4 ton air conditioners. I think that is obfuscation. 3/4 ton is equal to 9000 BTU and therefore 18000 BTU. Our Montana only has two ACs with the option for a third but those two are 15000 and 12000 BTU units for 27000 BTU and they were struggling this summer to the point we got a 6000 BTU portable AC to supplement them.

Thanks for that link. Interestingly enough, I was talking to my sister this afternoon and my B-I-L is CEO of the hospital in Smith Center. He was told that there is no date yet for when the hospital or the attached medical group or pharmacy would be getting the newest booster. And, sure enough, there is no where close that has it yet.

You should check the Alliance Valor 44V14. If they had offered this when we bought last this would be it as we were looking for a toyhauler. It has stand alone dining table, lots of kitchen counter space, walk-in shower, and it has washer/dryer prep in both the bedroom and garage. We wanted the toyhauler to turn into an office/sewing room.

I have driven one and ridden as passenger in one, my son-in-law's Chevy Bolt. It is a fun car to drive, is comfortable, quiet and makes an awesome around town car. Would I ever own it, no, (and neither would my son-in-law as a sole car) because I need a car that I can jump into and drive for long distances without needing lengthy fuel stops. I know that a Tesla can be quickly charged but I also need a car that I can afford, which for me is under $35K. I also need a car that can handle cold weather driving and doesn't run the risk of being "unfuelable" when it is very cold. This latter is documented in the news. Above all I just don't think EVs are ready for prime time. I would own a hybrid in a heartbeat. My granddaughter owns one and I think they are the best of both worlds although I am on the fence about the plug-in hybrids.

I know that you can turn off the WiFi when using the ethernet port. I guess I did not word my question well. What is the advantage of using another WiFi router rather than the one included with the Starlink system?

I'm sorry you are having issues, but have a question which has nothing to do with a resolution. As a Starlink user myself, I am curious why you bypass your Starlink router. Is there some advantage I am not seeing?

Very true. When I was a watch section supervisor I did not need to know how to do the job at every desk I supervised, I just needed to know how to ask the right questions to suss out the info we needed for the mission.

This could also go under finance as it might affect Alphabet stock, but the government anti-monopoly trial starts today. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-sues-google-monopolizing-digital-advertising-technologies I wonder if the government will have any more luck than they did against Microsoft or IBM. Another daily email I got had this interesting this interesting bit: Now, that got me wondering as I can change the search engine with 3 steps in Chrome. Open Chrome, click Settings, click Search Engine, select the one you want. The choices are Google, Yahoo!, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Ecosia. I had to look up that last one. Well, I guess that is 4 steps if you count opening Chrome. How many does it take for others?

I can see it on an ATV as well.

That's pretty easy. Any time there is a difficulty, real or perceived, about the grid in Texas you point it out. But Texas is not the only place that has the potential for issues with the grid this summer, you focused on ERCOT and lead in with billionaires being in control. NERC has warned that 2/3s of the country are at risk of blackouts this summer, specifically pretty much everyone west of the Mississippi, and that is sure a lot more than Texas, yet Texas was the topic. The head of the Texas PUC is pushing for more natural gas power plants and batteries because he is not sure wind turbines can meet demands. So the article about Texas and the Tesla VPPs is welcome news that did not need to start out with the bashing or naysaying. I am not going to waste my time going back through all your posts to tally the Texas comment but there have been enough to bolster the perception by myself and others.
