    I don’t remember. The roof is pretty close to the water, so maybe it’s a platform off that.

    Me either - not big on hot beverages in general, but I just can't do the bitterness of coffee. I have an iced tea most mornings.

    Cumby's cinnamon rolls are outstanding!

    I've been watching "The Car Care Nut" on YouTube for a while now. He's pretty interesting and seems to know what he's doing. He also does a good job explaining things. I watched a result video that explains how the Controller Area Network (CAN) works. The concept is simple, although the operation is fairly complex. It makes sense in the way it works and as they like to say it's scalable.

    Not that I expect to have to do this sort of work myself, but one thing he did baffled me. He was testing the the CAN itself to make sure that it was functioning and that the problem was with individual components, not the network. Easy to do, but he removed the OBD connector and tested the circuit from the rear of the connector. That makes sense because as he noted the pins that a code reader plug into in the front of the connector are delicate.

    I wondered if there were OBD break out boxes and there are. They are pretty inexpensive and allow you to use VOM probes without taking the connector out. I wonder why he doesn't use one as they are inexpensive and would seem to save some time diagnosing.

    HVAC illumination for the first time in 6 years.

    Low profile T4 wedge LEDs. Good fit. I can dig the part number out if anyone wants.

    The difference I've found is a puddle of gas on the ground around your lawn mower.

    The new ones are meant to be spill proof or something but I've never spilled more gas than with those things.

    I think they were invented by the gas companies, ensured more sales to combat the EV craze

    Those Rev’s games are always fun when I’ve gone before. Not the crowds the Pats draw so nice in and out. Tailgate before hand is casual. Better weather. Just enjoyable overall
