My wife saw a Maverick in that orange metallic color and said, it's a sharp color and the Maverick is small enough that she'd be able to drive it. The Maverick's simple, unimaginative box shapes are attractive.

Certainly is if that is its best angle. Maybe it will look better in person.

I was anticipating a RAV4 based pickup truck.

Well, I gave my retirement notice. Don't know what I expected, but they ran out and got a surprise cake for me the same day and balloons and they were a lot of hugs and thanks for my contributions over the years. It was really very touching. I'm very blessed.

Is he correcting social security at least? He paid into it, might as well get back some.

All highway.

Been using Supertech or Kirkland for quite a while, maybe the last 100k miles. My wife drove home from an hour's highway drive right before the oil change and the oil level was reading about 7/8 full. The old oil was a hair low and a little brown, like dark honey. Looked pretty good to me.

It's easy to say but hard to internalize that time is the biggest resource. Most all my friends are retired so I'm joining them and will have more time to do stuff with them. I've been working from home for the past 7 years since COVID so that was a great transition. I hit my number and the...

2020 RAV4, 159,655 miles. 10k OCI. Supertech 0w-20 Dexos full synthetic and a Fram Ultra 20k mile filter. For the first time, the old filter seal stuck to the housing on the engine. It fell right off when I poked it.

Are there private non-union places that give pensions these days? My "pension" was stock options that did very well.

In central NJ, we had a farm coop that sold shares. I bought 1/4 share and had more lettuce and salad stuff than I knew what to do with. Check out local farmers markets.

My wife retired last week after 41 years at the same small law firm. I'm giving notice next week after over 20 years at the same biotech company. Many biotech companies don't last 20 years. We got a couple drugs approved and helped a lot of patients with no other treatments available.

I'm doing that now. In-laws have stopped driving and have a 2022 Corolla with 4,800 miles. Carvana is offering north of $21,000.

It's either the factory overfills them or the whole process is whacky. A lot drains out when you just remove the drain plug. If cold and done right, very little should drain out until you remove the plastic tube. I put back what came out and it hasn't blown up or shifted poorly.

Same trend with major sports. NFL and MLB games are sometimes only available on streaming. I have Prime for other reasons but no way I'm getting Netflix or ESPN+ just to watch games that used to be on regular TV.

I bought one a month or two ago for my RAV4. First time using one. They work well.

Very moving commercial! The "Indian" was played by Iron Eyes Cody who was Italian-American. Things you learn on the Sopranos...

My in-laws have stopped driving. But when they did drive, they'd often encounter full handicap spots.

Sometimes I drive my in-laws places and they have a handicap placard. I don't use it because I figure someone that is handicapped might be driving themselves and need the handicap spot. I drop the in-laws off and go park elsewhere. My kids watch a YT video dedicated to harassing able-bodied...

I went there at 10:10 am for breakfast. They told I was too late. Breakfast ended at 10:00am. Went back once and wasn't impressed.
