The best thing about those Macs is they are made from aluminum, so when you fill them with concrete and use them as a boat anchor, they won't rust.

LOL, sounds like you like them as much as I do.

BTW, it's currently 97 right now, and my house is 72 inside. I can't believe how AWESOME it was to switch to the ridge vents. It is letting the hot air escape the attic so much easier.
54° here right now with a forecasted high all the way up to 64° today. As an aside, we've had almost 5" of rain this month.

If/when I get the roof redone here, that's what I intend to do, too. These existing cap-style ones aren't as efficient and until I put gutter foam in them, let snow blow in which would subsequently melt and cause interior water drips.

Well.... This ain't good.



I can't find my Win10 disk, so I'm downloading the iso file again on my laptop. That's taking awhile. (The "Fast" app is showing a 3.2 Mbps download speed. I hope that's because the laptop is sucking up 17 of it.)

My laptop's keyboard is crapping out at 2 yrs old. Dell basically hung everything in the case upside down from the keyboard, so I have to completely empty and replace the contents of the case to fix it.

In brighter news, I'm about back on my feet and so my new HU and cameras for the truck are en route.

Welp. I can boot from the DVD, and Windows on the PC loads up, but I still can't boot directly from the machine. It looks like I need to "restore" this thing, but if I recall correctly, it wipes out every third-party application I've installed. Any other options before I nuke this thing?

Have you done the old sfc /scannow command?

The LED works, BTW!

Didn't know about that White. Found this guide, and will give it a go tomorrow.

Cool! Toss that LED strip back in there and see how it looks.

I did Frankie's headliner today. It turned out OK. I wish my Wife's sewing machine was capable of replacing the material on the visors.



Verizon fixed the tower.

An old and failing EVAP Emissions Line might be the source of a vacuum leak on a 10th gen F150 !
Mine looks really deteriorated. Going Dorman on it.
As I understand it as the EVAP line progressively fails the CEL comes on....
