Doubt IPhone would be any better. Perhaps look into that later.

DT and LT are both fine thankfully.
DNS66 is what I use on my Android phone.

Thanks Ohio, I'll have to look into that.

I often use the host file on Windows to stop product updates and constant popups.

More time in the "Ford Library." (Haynes/Chilton) I used to devour manuals, but as retirement offers more time, life seems to intercede, partially ruining "fishing" time, and we move more slowly doing anything, even looking things up.

I like the separated threads, but there is so much to know, even limiting into tenth gens, things you can do, can maybe do, what swaps and when it doesn't... It's a lot to pick up, if you are not working in the field full-time.

I have not much time for time-outs, delightful and useful as they can be. Thank goodness for constipation, real or imagined, for the time it affords on the easy throne... er - chair. Relaaaaxxx, and research like heck, knowing you cannot vanish forever.

So much to know... just to know the 95% that you can do without or don't want, and where to get what parts for the last 5%. But thanks. I'll take a break - soon.
