Been having some medical issues. Aging is not fun.

60% of the US electric production uses fossil fuels.

Another example of why I have a hard time with the human race.

No way I could live there with that heat. Sure you get some cooler weather in winter but the summer heat means I would live indoors. 45 this morning, high 65-70.

Colorado Berthoud Pass has coldest temp in CONUS last Saturday (19 deg ) and Sunday (17 deg). Trees getting more color here.

I look at trucks to keep up on prices like some of us do. I bought my 2012 SLT in 2015 with 22K miles for $28000. There is a 2020 SLT Crew Cab with 33K miles for $45K. A 20 SLT with 33K miles for $44.5K. I know its not apples to apples, the 20's are crew cabs To me it's close enough. About $17 K difference.

The thought or desire of a company to build a quality product went away quite a while ago. It was replaced with making money. I have some products from years ago that the newer version has less quality. The way it is.

Not everyone's life is a cell phone in my opinion, including me.

Is the check engine light on? Take it to an auto parts store and have them scan it codes. Most will do this for free.

I could complain about what every CEO makes.

Ordered and waited 5 weeks to get the cap. When my A.R.E. cap was installed I stood outside the work bay and watched. To hook up the 3rd LED brake light they were going to put an electronic module behind the factory brake light. Easy way to do it for them and when it fails buy another module. I knew from research before doing this there is an extra brake light wire from the factory under the dash. I wanted the installer to use it which meant running a wire from under the dash along the frame to the LED 3rd brake light. I told him I wanted a connector put in the wire that was accessible so you can unhook it to remove the cap. He said we don't do it that way. I said do it that way or I will go to the office and if they won't do it my way I want a refund. Took 25 minutes to do it. Their way with the module I would guess was 10 minutes. No problems for 8 years. My brother in-law says " everybody wants to do things cheap and fast. "
