    Hey Charlie,

    You should start a professional blog. You have great recollection of events and your commentary is very drawing. Itd be a great way to make a living !

    It's a shame the 5 lug section of this forum is, for the most part, dead.

    As far as your plans to convert to buckets, have you found any good info? From what I know, 2009 SR5 Access Cab Five Lugs came with buckets, but only for that year. At least, that's what I have read. All other sources show the swap but no easy solution to wiring the airbags to work.

    I would love to do this to mine but am curious if you found any good info.

    The day we bought mine, they had a red 2010 access cab with bucket seats on the lot.

    The woman driving this truck was merely borrowing it from a friend and did not know the year, but she said it had like 300,000 miles!

    UPDATE: Turns out the guys building the deck popped a breaker with their power tools and that's why both the Internet and the cable simultaneously went out!

    A really old and rather small house was torn down, and this 3-story, 3-zone central air-conditioned home went up in it's place earlier this year (might have actually been 2016; I took a second job delivering pizzas in the summer of 2015 and I once delivered to the house that was torn down)...

    image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg

    See? 3-zone central A/C!

    1-car garage...

    This house also has propane heat because the cost of tying into public gas lines was too expensive (same with the brand new home right down the street)...

    This is a brand new house in my neighborhood. Unlike my parents' house and all the other houses in the neighborhood, this house was built by a small independent builder. It has been on the market for months, and I think this is because they're asking too much.

    I believe they've dropped the price to like $700K. Anybody want to be my neighbor?

    image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg

    One dead giveaway that this house was built by a different builder is the brand of air-conditioner used. This house has Lennox...

    image.jpg image.jpg

    My house has Goodman...
    image.jpg

    My neighbor's house has Goodman, as does every other house in this neighborhood...

    image.jpg

    Though the duplex houses across the street, built by the same builder in like 2012-2014, have ICP (International Comfort Products; an offshoot of Carrier) air-conditioners.

    Not much of a backyard in the independently-built house...
