    The replacement dashcam came with a bunch of new parts including an adhesive windshield bracket, and I figured it was best to swap the dashcam and the EZ Pass so I can adjust my mirror without making my dashcam think I've been in an accident; What you see here is the result of trying to remove the adhesive left by the Velcro that held the EZ Pass in place...

    Use a regular razor blade with a little soap and water. It will come right off. If there is anything left you can use #0000 steel wool also with soap and water. Has to be the #0000 though. Anything more aggressive will scratch the glass.

    I found that out the hard way with my Benchmade utility knife last year...

    :facepalm:

    Luckily, it's in a small area and can be hidden by my phone holder, but let's just say I wouldn't be upset if a neighborhood kid threw a home run into my windshield and someone else's insurance got me a new one... ;)

    My truck still seems to be burning minuscule amounts of oil, which is normal for a vehicle of this age and mileage, but the replacement of the PCV seems to have addressed the "1 quart every 3,500 miles" issue!

    Also, I was born in 1989; Ms. Tomei was born in 1964, and yes I would still sleep with her if given the opportunity...

    She was younger when she starred in My Cousin Vinny than I am now, and I had a crush on her when I first saw that movie; As "Sexy Aunt May" in the MCU Spider-Man franchise, she's just as hot as ever in my opinion!

    It amazes me how this thing is so small, yet has more cold cranking amps than at least two prior batteries I've had!

    I have been documenting the construction of a new subdivision near my own neighborhood for months; All of the lots sold before ground was even broken, and all of the houses have been moved into at this point...

    This was the last house to be completed, and thus the last to be moved into; They've been living here for probably close to a month at this point, but the shutters haven't arrived yet due to supply chain issues...

    I just noticed this today, but if you look closely, two of the three light fixtures on either side of the garage have yet to be installed!

    It is January 2nd, 2022; Not including backing my truck out of the driveway and then backing it into the driveway to switch the dashcam around and vacuum it, which probably didn't even put a tenth of a mile on it, this is my truck's first time leaving my house this year! I believe that by this time next year, I will have at a minimum hit 160K!

    143,126 miles as of 1:42pm on Sunday, January 2nd, 2022...

    The race is on. I may have more miles on the Lexus than your Tacoma by the end of the year. You do drive a lot though…

    I went to Sloane Toyota in Glenside, Pennsylvania looking for a 2022 Tundra they had advertised and could not find it; I'm thinking that since they actual pictures of it on their website and not just stock photos, they have it locked up somewhere...

    However, I did find this freshly inspected underappreciated survivor parked out back...
