    Good Morning Porch Folks :hattip:

    Beautiful landscaping Dennis. Picture should be in Lawn and Garden Magazine :thumbsup:.

    Relaxing view of the lake. Sitting on the deck with a cup of coffee relaxing and enjoying the serenity of the moment :):yes:

    I generally have folgers but discovered if I mix 2 folgers to 1 expresso blend it makes for an excellent cup of coffee. Folgers does lose it's freshness after a couple of weeks but I put a plastic film (plastic wrap or equivalent) over the container after I open it and that seems to help keep it fresher longer. :thumbsup:

    Morning all:

    Was going to ask Sue the same thing, gas or electric lawnmower, but you guys beat me to it! :)

    Talking about car seats, I had mentioned this before, my one buddy had a Eddy Bauer Bronco that had very uncomfortable seats in it for being a top line vehicle, maybe one step up from my 1942 Ford Jeep, it did look nice though!

    Best of luck to you and the team this weekend. Take a few pics if you have the time.

    @MQQSE I thought it was just an Avalon thing with the seats, guess not. My 09 Tacoma seats are not bad at all but I use it mostly for around the DC area and maybe a few 2-hour trips to the eastern shore by the ocean. The cost for the seat upgrade was $300 which I thought was pretty reasonable considering I would need to buy tools and materials and then do a task I have never done before. The wife was happy with the cost and outcome.

    Good morning. Installed the replacement rear bumper reflector LED light yesterday. As expected, a 1-hour job turned into 2 hours, but it is finished, with no bruises or cuts. The reflector lights are right above the exhaust tips. I keep knocking items off the early summer to-do list. Today it will be to reinstall the old pond lighting to illuminate the backyard holly trees. Another 1-hour job that will take 2 hours. LOL Wife and son are going to a concert tonight so amigo, and I will have a boy's night alone at home. I might rent a movie.

    Good morning and happy Friday to all!

    Neighborhood yard sale this weekend so dug some stuff up from our basement to see if we can't pawn it off on someone else.

    Good Morning Cool Old Dudes & Susan :wave:


    :hattip: Tom
    Our 2019 Highlander is the LE (base model), her previous was a 2014 XLE with the leather seats, she never complained about them. We also had heating elements added to front seats as that was the only thing she missed from the previous model. We had the upgrades done by the dealer, I think we paid about $900 total for everything, install of heating elements, switches in center console, and additional padding. I've never had a complaint about the seats in either of my Tacomas, but now that I think about it, she took a chair seat cushion along when we took Stitch north up the haul road to Atigan Pass with our grandkids 3 years ago.
    Do you have a pic of the LED light install, I'm just curious.
    Have a great day my friend. :)

    RESPECT :oldglory:
