Yep... I waited until the last day. I'm still not 100% done. I need to put my little wood box together again that I use to protect the patio furniture. Contemplating on buying another BBQ cover.... damn thing only got used a few times last year anyway. The smoker got used way more.

Rivers... do you have a Windows phone? Or what is it you use?

Yea, I tried using cheap covers in the past, they don't last, - lucky to get a year out of them before they tear. Had to invest a little into a couple good ones. You can find some deals if you know the exact model you want. Actually Walmart online might help with that. They can occasionally pull some amazing prices out their butts with that kind of stuff lol.

White, I have a Samsung phone. It's an Android device with service from MetroPCS. What I've found is this is part of a Microsoft October update that required connecting an Android device to the "your phone" app. It requires first downloading to the cloud and then downloading from the cloud to a PC. I'm not sure of this but it almost appears that this update isn't getting done everywhere all at once. I have Comcast and like I said it was part of an October update for the southeast Michigan. There's also a number of problems with it from what I've read. I've never used my phone as a portable PC but a lot of people who do are having various problems from getting email to playing games and a bunch of stuff in between.

I say a Microsoft update but a lot of complaints are directed at comcast so I'm not sure which one or both are the source of the problem. If I use my camera instead of my phone I can still get the f: DCIM directory to download pictures but that directory doesn't show up for my phone anymore. I do sometimes now get a pop up for the "wizard" to set up "Your phone" when I connect my phone to my computer. I'm going to be changing my phone service when I leave after the first of the year so it's not really a big deal anymore. Just inconvenient now.

EDIT: From what I can tell this is now mandatory for this area. Microsoft or Comcast?:

Setting up photos in the Your Phone app

Your Phone app Windows 10 More...LessMake emailing photos to yourself a thing of the past. While setting up the app, you'll be prompted to enable access to your Android device's photos, but if you choose not to at that point, you can always turn it on later in the Your Phone app Settings.

To do this, open the Your Phone app, go to Settings, and under Photos, turn on the toggle for Allow this app to show photos from my phone.

If your photos aren't syncing properly, these troubleshooting tips may help. If you encounter other issues with photos, try these troubleshooting tips.

White, per Microsoft online help I need to download the new Samsung driver for my phone after the October 20H2 Windows 10 update. They did say they are still working on some issues with trying to re-download photos from the phone if they have been edited in the cloud.

I want a SCREW pretty bad, but people around here think they are made of gold. I can buy a Gen 11 and put a motor in it for less.

Rivers, I will take a look at mine when I get home today. I did recently have an issue trying to get videos off of my phone directly.... but I have backup ways of getting to my stuff. So, I just went to the next solution when I couldn't make Windows 10 access it.... if that makes any sense? I back everything up to Amazon.

Well the $10k one says "with 5yrs or additional 100K miles warranty included."
If that true, the buyer is paying for an engine or trans change with purchase.

Also, the odometer pic shows 666 miles,

We have some clean SCrews come available up here and usually they aren't out of reason, price wise. Also they don't stay available very long though. Personally, I am not a fan of the look of the GEN 10 SCrew. GEN 11 is fine to me. lol

We did found a 2003 SCrew Lariat for 6800 a couple weeks ago.. It had165k on it. Gold with a shell but a hole in one taillight. He backed into a pole. I took my buddy over to see it and he bought it. I gave him a pair of spare fs/screw lights I had extra. He hasn't had any problems in his coupe weeks of driving. He even called yesterday and told me how well it went in the snow the other day. LOL.

On Saturday I talked to my friend I helped with the 3V engine swap. Remember how I said something was wonky on it still? He told me he went and pulled a trans out of an Expedition and swapped it in, and every weird symptom cleared up. It felt like it was retarding the timing before shifts, and occasionally doing a little backfire.... but he said the new trans cleared all that up.

I thought it was really strange that he was able to find a 2WD Expy.
