    You gotta make it special and personal. North Adam's mayor for life John Barrett says if it isn't personalized he deletes it. Handwritten letters are probably rare these days so might work best.

    We have fiber and it is symmetrical. Not always the case but for us it is.

    Think I’m doing the same this week. I’m still on a time Warner plan so it’s $116 for cable and internet. Speed is 20mb. I asked about upgrading speed, their basic is 100 mb and they said for the equivalent switching to spectrum it would be almost $150 a month. Think I’m going to get the faster internet and drop cable. We don’t watch tv much anymore and the wife and son usually are on Netflix or Amazon.

    https://www.makitatools.com/products/details/9227C Makita, I really bought it for when I finish sand surfboards but I bought some automotive pads for it and the variable speed with soft start makes it a breeze I only needed my small orbital for a few spots but was able to do 95% of the vehicle wih an 8in pad it was sweet way better than my old variable speed DeWalt

    I've been doing some reading and now I'm interested in skinny tires. I'm currently running stock size 265/65/17 with stock suspension. Any thoughts on a good size? Not sure if I'll pull the trigger yet.

    I ran 265/70r17 when I had my Tacoma and liked them.

    I always did like the look of tall, skinny tires, like 235ish series but you need the correct offset to pull it off.

    So I'd have to get new rims or spacers if I want to run on stock rims?

    Not necessarily, but if you go really skinny, the overall track is very narrow and looks weird on stock wheels, in my opinion.

    Not necessarily.

    This ^ is my opinion as well. 235/85/16 and 255/85/16 (if you go lifted or really want to trim some), I cannot remember the 17" wheel equivalents, probably 80 instead of 85 but I could be wrong
