The Zip

Very, very, very important as not to leave this responsibility to another family member when you pass away. What you like, consider to have monetary or sentimental value, will not be the same with a family member left behind responsible for the downsizing. When the eldest sibling passed away unexpectedly, the siblings were left with downsizing due to no children or spouse to consider "value". Man you're talking about chinaware, silverware, fine rugs and clothes, restaurant size pots and pans. Siblings, nieces, nephews don't know what to do with that kind of stuff. Who has a China cabinet today? Young folks will look at you and say, what is a China cabinet, is that some place where you keep your paper plates? Some will probably say, I don't want anything to do with that country. So yes, I will totally agree to downsize while you can and be sad now to spare family members the frustration of being sad later.

Another perspective. I had an over-the-top barbering skill set and when I trimmed a fella's 'wig' because I wanted to, I never expected to be paid and didn't have an issue with them when I wasn't. Didn't feel I was being taken advantage of. On the other hand, if I trimmed a fellas' wig because I needed to, then I let them know right up front that I expected to be paid and we negotiated a wage. Always at least 50% cheaper than he could find at any barber by using the Yellow pages. Are Yellow pages still a thing with Google?

He'll never get any employees, from teenage to 70, who doesn't hold onto a cell phone all day?

You are a valued asset. Through my 43 years working with the Department of Defense (DoD), I've noticed a trait of veterans with TBI or PTSD, humor. Whatever happened during the TBI/PTSD event, it heightened their sense of humor. Similar to when a person lose hearing, other senses are heightened. Get back into the fight, whatever that may be for you, by refining your humor. I suggested many veterans try this and now they are the life of the party. I don't know where they get it from but it compares to the jokes diyer2 provide on the forum. Turned out being a positive coping mechanism. I don't have PTSD or a TBI, so still hanging around DoD based on what I can bring to the table. Being a veteran of Air Force, there is a major change every 10 years. The military to include active duty, civilians, and contractors has gotten younger and not as mature which covers junior and senior level members. Not necessarily a bad thing, just an observation. Air used to be a big deal in DoD, now it's Space. Surprised there are not more reported accidents or incidents involving traffic in Space. I've been in the original Desert War and every Campaign since, put or your favorite Veteran or Campaign cap on Memorial Day and don't be surprised how many folks say thanks for your service. Memorial Day highlights your service, but wear your cap everyday until the stitching comes out. Thanks to the men and women able to answer the call.

JacksonRichards - I remember playing a card game made popular by Blues and Jazz musicians in the south, worn out by military guys in barracks. While on patrol one day, I had a guy 1000's in the hole, even had his new washer and dryer. He was in serious panick mode about the appliances. We were a two man patrol, I was the leader and he was the member for a nuclear aircraft base. Ultimately I found out he was not at my level and let him off the hook by intentionally losing some hands, couldn't have a member in panick mode while guarding nuclear weapons. The game was called Tonk, no luck all guts.

Man lost his perfection, animals didn't, IMO. I'm not a cat lover, but have the same feeling for all animals and respect their individual perfect space. Even more so with a cat like yours, remained perfect while establishing her parameters. Good looking cat, nice shot. I have 2 monster dogs and will reverse what you said, the reward is worth the pain.

I've been around the US military since the end of Vietnam, still around today some 40 something years later. There is no way a civilian could handle a VA hospital, I can't handle a VA hospital. Not getting busted up as bad during my 23-year active duty stint, I'm humbled when I go into a regional medical center and see how busted-up those folks are. Freedom for you came with a price, speak your "peace" man.

Yeah I agree. This a-River is at least 1000 miles long and about 500 miles wide. Local weather folks say the worst will be tomorrow. This put a dent in the reservoirs, the impact on the drought will be seen when they check the snow pack.

The weather guy says this atmospheric river is pushing 25 times the water in the Mississippi. Not knowing how much that is, I can tell you by looking out the window for the last 12 hours it's a lot.

Central California does not get a lot of rain, if what's happening right now comes across the country it will not bode well for the states that hover around freezing during the winter months. It's big, carrying a lot of water, and moving fast.

I've bought a lot of tires online and taken them to my local tire shop for installation. I pay to mount, lifetime rotate and balance, and a lil extra to warranty the tire. The cost should be less than the 400 extra saved by buying at Walmart. Call your local shop and ask what they charge for the items listed above, around 200 is not unreasonable. That being said, I wouldn't have a problem with letting Walmart do the work. These are fulltime techs, not like the rotating Walmart cashiers. Also, there are so many Walmart stores around the country with the auto shop that warranty would be covered at way more locations than your local shop.

It's Tim is correct. Although the oem sensors may work, you won't do yourself any favors by using old sensors. The batteries in TPMS are not replaceable and once they go, you have to replace the entire sensor. I haven't seen a guage that tells how much life is left in the batteries.

This problem does affect the hood and roof, but the continued assumption of the cause being automatic car washes, dusty-gravely highway cruising, parking outside, or the sun is incorrect. I've had my truck now since 2014 and this issue appeared on my truck in 2018. My truck has been hand washed by me since I bought it (no car wash), garaged, and regular wash and wax. This paint job is a defect whether it's with the application or materials and putting a bandaid on a defect will not fix the problem, it has to be repainted. In my case, it went almost down to the metal. You are correct that sanding and buffing didn't help, and unfortunately you made a mistake. What you did sped up the process. No assumptions, if you don't get those areas addressed by a reputable paint shop, sooner than later your truck will look worse than the photos above.

That assumption would be wrong, cost me over 2Gs to fix that crap. That's how my vehicle looked after 3 years less than 30K miles, garaged, washed, waxed, no snow or ice. I live on the Cali Central Coast, h**l it don't even rain. That's definitely a defect, there is another thread on this forum about that.

If 20" wheels from the prior gen fit this gen, definitely not the wheel size. I have been running the 20" since 2014 without any issues.
