    I can't catch a break - Medical complications.

    Oof! Sorry to hear that. I know how you feel as last year I had an operation which required a 4" vertical incision right below my belly button. Got a row of staples, but four days later started a fever. They found an abscess so they took out the staples to go back in. For some...

    What are you watching on tv right now?

    Tour de France. Two bad wrecks today. Paid the $9 for the month's subscription to Peacock.

    Happy 4th, to those of us in the USA !

    Happy 4th!! Thought this would be appropriate and is one of my favorite renditions: National Anthem

    @Cujet, better be careful with Florida's new speeding law!

    Temporary solution to a speed craving: Silver State I want to do this someday!

    2000 LX470, 2UZ-FE, 200k mi; Mobil 1 5w-30 6k mi

    I have the '07 version of this engine and have been using M1 0w-40 FS since I got it in '13. UOA's have been great (haven't done one in a while due to life events), so it's what I'd recommend.

    Debit Card hacked

    About 5-6 years ago I tried to set up Zelle to go through a debit card. Didn't have one so I signed up and they gave me the card right there in the bank. They have a machine to do that, I guess. I took the card straight home and put it in a drawer as I was not going to use it for anything...

    AGAIN...what's the 'best' engine oil for me?

    Fellow Zonie here. I use M1 5w-30 (regular flavor) which has the Ford spec in the 5.0 GT. I've had a couple UOAs done with no issues.

    What are you doing right now?

    Busy morning: mowed the lawn before the heat set in, filled the gas can for the mower, grocery shopping, gas for the 4R, picked up some vitamins, just finished the laundry. Still have a little cleaning to do, have lunch, and then see what's on TV/relax...unless something else pops up.

    Maxshine towels - wow!

    Update: Just used it for the second time yesterday and didn't blow off all the water ahead of time. That dried the car too quickly and started leaving water spots. Just drove the car into the shade after the rinse and started drying. Still: WOW! I can dry the car in ~75% less time and it...

    Can I Run Euro Oil for 2 Years with Very Low Mileage?

    I've done this a couple times in the 4Runner with the 4.7. M1 0w40 no issues. Once, Blackstone said I could run in even longer, but I figured 2 years was a good change point.

    You learn more by listening than by talking.

    video; snake our scared house sitter.

    Considering where you are and I'm assuming there are rattlers about, it's a good reaction to have. I'd probably leave a human shaped vacuum coming upon a snake like that as I'm in a rattler area, too. It is funny, though! 😁

    Who's never traveled outside of the United States?

    Never thought about actual time until now, but I've spent less than 12 hours outside the US. On a vacation in the 70s, going home from Phoenix to NM, we went across the border to do some shopping in Ciudad Juarez. I think a couple of us started feeling ill, so Dad drove straight home and we...
