CabDriver Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 I’ve been considering a dashcam too - do most of these things turn themselves on and off or do you need to remember to do it? Id love one that somehow syncs to my phone too so I don’t have to mess with pulling video off a memory card…interested to hear if either of those types posted can handle that too… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walked about 1.7 miles per my phone. Stepping into the living from the porch (ONE step) and POP (from the left leg)! Tried to take a step and the intense pain went from the hip to the foot. I had to lean on the end table and managed to get to the couch. Had to call my oldest to dig the crutches out of storage and hobbled around for several days. I had chills as I had flashbacks to tearing the meniscus in the right knee 35 years ago when playing tennis. I had to undergo therapy as the knee wouldn't bend post surgery. I'm an office worker so not sure how I retore it about 18 months ago which required another scope. Much better this time as I had about 50% mobilty immediately afterwards. I joked with my teenager that my coaching him for baseball and backetball was over!! Went though the MRI and should have waited until the Ortho Dr this Friday. I stopped reading at "Complete Tear". My son learned learned a few new words unfortunately as my concerns were realized. I joked with the Dr that I didn't even DO anything to tear it but he pointed out if you wear out the right side tires on your car, the left side ones will need replaced too eventually. My truck was a manual transmission so fortunately I was still living at home and got to drive my mom's car. This time around, the car is an automatic, but Genesis automatically moves the seat back and the steering wheel up for ease in and out. (Guess Genesis knows old farts drive their sedans). It's official.....surgery is scheduled for the end or next month. Kinda expected it since the pop was eerily famailiar. Brace.....therapy.....crutches for six weeks. At least it's not knee replacement as that could be down the road due to the arthritis in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 I would agree with anyone who wants to have a dash camera in their car or truck. This is based on the way people seem to want to drive. The dash cam video would be handy in court to explain what the other driver was doing, if you should somehow survive what the other driver has done. My neighbor had a young lady decided she wanted to be in the same traffic lane as he was last winter in the middle of a snowstorm driving on a four-lane divided HI way. She managed to destroy the right front bumper, fender and headlights on the passenger side of his new truck and caused him to spin into the center divider trying to get out of her way. She just drove off and he was unable to get a license plate number. Dash camara might have made a good statement in court. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gramps46 Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 I told the county water department there was a water problem near the street. They looked at it and said it was groundwater even though we have been in a drought. Finally, after another call they decided with water flowing out of the ground it was not groundwater but their leakng pipe problem. To their credit they jumped right on it and had it fixed in about 6 hours. Fortunately for me the leak was between their main water pipe and the meter so no cost to me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodent Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Was in the HL neighborhood today on coupon day. Seems like every time I go there, the retail prices are higher. Didn't buy anything even at 40% off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't buy anything even at 40% off. I have mentioned this before, and I don't think it is just a local thing where I live. The "normal retail price" that Hobby Lobby puts on their kits is usually 10 % to 15% higher than the retail price at the dedicated Hobby Shop that I go too in my area. Locally the last time I checked HL wanted $39.99 MSRP for a current kit. I notice that they are asking $45.99 for the Olds kit in your picture. Even with their 40% off bi-weekly sale there are times when I buy a kit from the regular hobby shop for about the same price. Unfortunately, many builders here on the forum don't have a regular brick and mortar store nearby to shop at. I will still buy something from time to time at the HL, but it has to be something I just have to have and can't find anywhere else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89AKurt Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Internet quit yesterday afternoon, when I got around to calling CenturyLink last evening, the computer runaround told me to call during business hours. Today still not working, computer runaround said it was out, would be running by 6:45 PM. Anyway, gave me incentive to work on a model.

TonyK Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 2 things. Got my Chewy order and the bag of dog food was split down the middle so there's food all loose in the box and the bag is obviously useless to store the food in. Contacted them with a picture so we'll see what they do about it. The Iceman Collections has had a "coming soon" on their Trophy truck model and I was looking forward to getting one. Got a newsletter today saying how popular the truck model was and it's now sold out! Guess I was expecting a date it would be available and there would be a bunch of them made but I was wrong.

I took everything in the box, poured it into a trash bag and took it to a shelter who was more than willing to take it. They are excellent about standing behind their business.

I got the '24 Dark Horse Mustang last month and it sold out the first day it was available I think. His kits tend to be very small runs.
