    Most of them were. I went through about a half a dozen before finding one that would sell me a truck at invoice with a non-insulting trade number. I didn't struggle with that the last two times around.

    This is a screen grab of one of the dealer's photos. By the time I went it was too dark to get any decent exterior photos.

    The color is avalanche gray. It's a super light gray, almost white. It's just different enough from plain white for me to like it.

    Im in the market for a heavy duty contractor rack and a camper shell for my second gen long bed. Black is my preference for shell. Let me know if anyone is selling or looking to change their setup!

    Congrats on your new truck and good luck! I loved the brick nose late 80's into the 90's!

    3.5 PowerBoost (Hybrid) Lariat. It moves. Motortrend says 0-60 in 5.3 seconds. I didn't get on it too much, but it is noticably quicker than my current truck.

    The big thing that pushes me to the Lariat is auto 4WD, which was also one of my hang ups on the Tundra. I think that is a very deliberate way for Ford to increase the uptake of the higher trims because while some of the other stuff is nice, it probably wouldn't be enough for me to move up from an XLT otherwise.

    I ordered a tonneau cover, rear floor liner (my fronts will move over), and mud flaps. I want wheel well liners, but I need to step back and look at what I have spent between this and Christmas gifts before I spend even more.

    Anyone have experience with a place that does spray in bedliners? There's a local place that dues Bullet liners and I see West Springfield has a Line-X dealer. I'm not sure when I'll do that - it might wait until spring since I don't use the bed much in the winter. My 2020 had the factory Ford spray-in liner, but this is just bare paint.

    I saw that a few times today. Rattling the whole house. There were two attack choppers behind it (Apaches or something) then a black hawk taking up the rear.
    Here’s some terrible photos I took.

    Check out the Theraband FlexBar when you're rehabbing...
    I had tennis elbow so bad that couldn't lift a 12oz can with my palm down gripping from the top...
    I started with Light band and over a few months worked my way to the heavy on...AMAZING...
    So if you find yourself looking to increase mobility and rehab tendons...ask about it.
    It felt SOOO Good when I could feel it tearing and repairing the tissues...like scratching poison ivy.

    To anyone that has an AmEx and Prime, you might have seen but if you spend even $0.01 of your MRs you can get 40% back at Amazon up to $60 in savings ($150 in purchases). You'll have to activate it from the website / app, but it's a good deal. The items have to be sold and be shipped from Amazon directly.

    I just re-bought a few things and saved a quick $60. Well worth it. It also appears to work across multiple family members using the same AmEx (ie my wife is on my Prime account but the point option only shows up on my AmEx, not hers on the same account) and she should be able to save that same 40%.

    Thank you, that is a good suggestion, and it was used. And likely will be again
    Tried that, and tons of other things in PT/OT the last 18+ months.
    Other underlying issues affecting this. But, I keel doing more damage, instead of healing.
    At this point, everything is in the hands a damn good surgeon.

    I got an email tonight that Boch Toyota South is now Nucar Toyota. I don’t really care too much about the dealership part of it but hope that EB Parts doesn’t change.

    I love my new truck but miss my Tacoma
    I knew something was up when I looked the other day at Toyota parts website and it didn't list Boch South as my closest dealer even when I put in N Attleboro's zip code.

    O.O oh, that was my closest dealer/service dealer if I ever needed it. I don't count Grieco in EP, their service is trash. Great sales team though, I'll give 'em that.

    As the husband of a Physical Therapist (I call every date night a doctor's appointment now), just ask your PT about this. They're flexible in recovery plans, it's not a "thou shalt do this because you had this". If they aren't, find a different one :) .... I can recommend one in Providence :spy:

    Oooo, interesting. I don't have prime but I have an Amex. I get some bitchin' coupons from Chase. Got one for Chewy a couple weeks ago 20% off up to 30$, Ollie's was some% off up to 10$ (on both cards) so I just maxed those out. Amex had an Ollie's offer too. I check them out time to time, so far this year I've gotten about 100$ for stuff I was going to buy anyway, plus the Chewy one which was $60 between the two cards :D

    UBER???

    I'm 2% annoyed that Uber is on the list. I am 98% annoyed that the list has zero sense of sort. Alphabetical? Nope. By "class"? Nope. Just whatever order the DB admin put them into the system.
