    That’s crazy! I haven’t done a 5100 install yet that threw off the alignment too much and I haven’t ever had the VSC or PCA act up. Curious to know what issues you ran in to doing them? Other than the notorious seized cam bolts…

    I’ve never been. I live right next to the fairgrounds, I dread the fair every year. Always an event just getting home

    Yeah it’s pretty chaotic. If they have a band that we like, we do a fire pit on the street with my neighbors. Dead end road, only 6 houses.

    So, haven't been paying too much attention to things lately. Woke up yesterday morning and something clicked. I remembered / said "isn't maple fest this weekend?" Mrs Arc went, "dam, guess I won't be going to the bank and some other places down there till monday?" haha.


    Unrelated but humorous (?) in the 'overrun the town' mindset. We don't go shopping that much, maybe every 10 to 15 days. Multiple times throughout winter when we ended up in Wallyworld there was a morning bus coming or going that had Stowe resort ski markings on it. They were bringing there localized workers all the way to St Albans wally's to go shopping. Nothing closer? Seems like a weird out of the way haul for that.


    Mrs Arc accidentally caught, and stayed in some nearby parking lot for most of, Styx when they were there. I always liked the small venues better, could never do the bigs again. Not a fan of Higher Ground, but we did a few there. Last I think was a real surprise of Al Di Meola.

    I do like being able to listen to the concerts. I think it sounds better than being right up close to the bands also. Or maybe it’s not being in a big crowd. Either way, better from a distance.

    I went to higher ground once way back when. I remember it being a pretty cool place.

    Yeah, I think that was part of the problem I had with HG - their "fix the EQ issues by turning the volume up massively in a small space" sound engineers lol. Saw things like Dragonforce, Enter the Haggis, and George Clinton Funkadelic there. Funk was one fun show! The Al D show was one of the most toned down volume-wise and musically enjoyable things I saw there. I was in the music scene in a previous life, but this area just made me loose interest any more. I compensate by breaking my back scuttlin' firewood on my hill now....

    It was pretty mellow this morning rain keeping people home.
    Getting busier now the rain has stopped.
    Just did air/cabin filters both vehicles.
    Wife’s suby went to dealer for TSB something to do with the starlink crap draining battery. Freaking 90$ to do cabin and 87$ for air.
    I don’t freaking think so. I had the filters anyway just had to do them.

    Crazy dealership prices! I had a customer call a few days ago about replacing sway bar links on his Tacoma. He said he was going to grab a pair from Toyota for over $300 :eek: But, they also wanted $750 for the 30k service. More craziness.

    Had his truck in yesterday. Links were just fine. So we hung out for a while and talked Tacoma stuff. Good day :cool:
