    logged into account and money gone

    I am in the managed account group. I managed my money and my Wifes money when they were 401ks. It was mostly about growth. We did pretty good. Now that we are retired and have IRA's...we are with a large firm. My reasoning is simple for me. I have my Guys phone number and cell number. There is...

    From everything I read, less than 10% of Americans get there. It is shocking how little people have saved.

    4' Tube LED's VS 4' Tube Fluorescent ?

    When I first started with the direct wire LEDs they were $24 each. Way too expensive in my opinion....even if it was company money. A few years later you could get the ballast driven LEDs for $10-12 each. If you needed a ballast, they were ~$13ea... running 2 LED tubes. I was using an 18w GE...

    4' Tube LED's VS 4' Tube Fluorescent ?

    When you start talking about fluorescent lights, the first question is are they T12 or T8? T12 are the bigger tubes 1.5 in dia. T8 are 1" dia. The T8 bulbs will have electronic ballast that "should" be compatible with the drop in LED tubes. T 12 ballast should not be used with LED...

    Diesel Driving Style - Minimizing Soot Output

    That is my understanding....higher exhaust temperatures will burn the soot out of the DPF on its own. On Edit: Looking around really quick on the web, it says that may have changed on the newer diesels.... apparently it has something to do with the way the EGR works now. I can only give you my...

    Diesel Driving Style - Minimizing Soot Output

    I had an '11 Ford 250w/ 6.7. It had a DPF filter. If I remember correctly, keeping the engine under load to produce higher exhaust temperature would decrease DEF usage. But you would use more diesel of course. I only had it a couple of years...58k miles or so. It seemed that the longer I owned...

    Any Other Merle Haggard Fans?

    In his biography, he says he called Dolly Parton at 3:00am, as soon as he finished this song and sang it to her.

    Considering switching from Verizon to AT&T - Have some technical questions about the network and GSM phones.

    Way back when Verizon owned us, they had no interest in running fiber to customers' homes. Their plan at the time was to put a nib antenna on the side of houses and sell them everything through 5G. So, they announced a week or so ago that they are buying my former employer back. One of the...

    Considering switching from Verizon to AT&T - Have some technical questions about the network and GSM phones.

    My experience living in Houston is the exact opposite. The company I work for switched to ATT, after ATT promised we would have service in our whole area. We did not. Most of us had personal Verizon phones so we would have service. San Angleo was exact opposite. Verizon service out there was...

    Considering switching from Verizon to AT&T - Have some technical questions about the network and GSM phones.

    It's not likely that you could buy a phone that runs on anything prior to 4G. I had a 3G flip phone for years....Verizon would call me every 3 or 4 months trying to get me to upgrade. It gets to the point that there are so few customers on that technology they just shut it off. They are in...

    Fluky driver door glass damage

    Apparently, they have started using laminated glass. Supposedly to help prevent ejections during an accident. Much harder to break through. My '13 F150 was tempered glass.

    Is anyone surprised about Tua Tagovailoa

    They have a lot of "drain" on that also. Managers, family, girls, ect. I heard Emmit Smith say, "They all can't come along for the ride".

    New truck day! 2024 F150 4x4 V8 Lariat

    They have been powered opening for a long time...or power release. You can open them with your key fob...it can be handy. Mine is powered release and reduced weight closing...closes really easy. I wonder if you can disable the power closing somewhere. Sucks for the OP. I bet Ford puts out a...

    Is anyone surprised about Tua Tagovailoa

    Yes, I get it. Riding the pine means sitting on the bench...probably on the PUP list. First post said $300m guaranteed. That should be no matter what. Sitting on the bench not playing would get him some kind of offer. Andrew Luck retired and kept everything...including signing bonus. But I...

    Why would he retire? He can ride the pine for a long time. Eventually they will make him an offer.

    Fiddling with ford’s battery management

    I had purchased a solar maintainer recently. My thought was to just leave it on the dash, plug it into a 12v outlet and help top off the charge. The two problem I found were that the solar panel could produce more voltage than I was comfortable with. My 2017F150 kills power to the 12v outlets...

    Fiddling with ford’s battery management

    I got 6.5 yrs out of my 2017 battery. It may have lasted longer if I was still working and driving everyday...who knows. The truck can sit for several days now. I am trying to make an effort to drive it at least every 3rd day. AGMs are supposed to have twice the life of a regular battery. My...
