Anyone use Schwartz? I just noticed that are partners with my bank, USAA, and it seems convenient to have as much as I can in one place. I don’t use really any of TDA’s features.

Holy crap with this post my post count and the cost of my new truck match.

Win or lose I’m enjoying the games more without the game threads. That really surprised me.

Nitrogen in mine as well. Not specifically listed anywhere in the price so it might have been built into the dealer prep. They tried getting me for the $2,500 fabric and paint protection package. It didn’t take long to have it at about $250. Back to nitrogen, one of the green dust caps fell off after a couple days, instead of just grabbing some plain ones of course I bought cooler ones with a N2 logo. So I’m a sucker. The only advantage I can see, we’ll possibly two are they will hold pressure longer. Folks who do not regularly check tire pressure will be riding on properly inflated tires longer and in theory save money on fuel and their tires may last marginally longer and be safer. Folks who use a tire gauge monthly won’t see a benefit. The second benefit I may receive is more consistent pressure when summer towing especially at elevation. Again, I would not pay extra for nitrogen but if I do oil changes at my dealer they will add nitrogen at no cost.

I know wins are a meaningless stat that Gio probably cares less about, but I'm glad to see him get a win. Maybe it's just a bit of old school nostalgia.

Anyone have experience vinyl wrapping parts of a vehicle? My wife isn't as excited about the white truck as I am. I'm thinking of doing a charcoal black carbon fiber vinyl along the bottom edge. The truck is over 20' long so I see her point. There are some curves to negotiate but I'm estimating under $300 versus $$$$ for paint. I'm not thinking full wrap, just from a bend in the body down. So far I've added a bed mat, Truxedo tonneau cover, some cargo management stuff, Husky floor liners for camping. I'm really liking Android Auto on a 12" display.

IIRC the first solution was showing I paid state income tax in another state. Texas does not have a state income tax so that was impossible. Still no matter how easy it's annoying.

It wasn't bad for the 1997 tax year. I sent a copy of my Federal return with W2s and the case was closed. The only complication they said was I had moved to a state without a state income tax. I assume I was audited because I literally moved in late December but stayed with the same employer. There wasn't a split year with earnings in two locations from two different companies

I worked 50 plus hours a week for a couple decades while on salary. Just because overtime isn't a line item on your check, the compensation was built into the salary structure.

Plus the past administration ordered the USPS to remove functioning equipment. They were literally used as a political pawn in the mail order ballot war. They deliver to every house six days a week and for less than a $1 will take a letter from a house in Penitas, Texas population 400 and deliver it anywhere from a penthouse in New York or a remote mountain cabin in Alaska. Amazing.

Congratulations

I know Ford and other manufacturers have suspended their discount programs.

I know someone who sold to Carvana. Carvana offered more than the dealer but less than what he would have gotten selling it retail of course. Overall great experience he said. I checked on the truck I just traded in and they offered $5k less than what the dealer eventually gave me (obviously some of that was discount on the truck, they can manipulate both numbers).

I lucked into the exact 2021 F150. It had the work truck stuff (tow package, 36 gal tank, extended blind spot, long bed) and the comfort stuff, (dual AC, power seats, 12" display). Usually dealers outfit one way or the other.

Everyone gets attached to baseball written and unwritten rules. Some say the DH ruined the game. Seven inning games have people acting like their hair is on fire. I believe Nine inning games have gotten too long. Let’s make every game seven innings. I’ve always been for full platoon. But all the traditionalists go crazy. God let’s move this game into the 21st century.

I forget to use it and just pull my debit card from the back of my phone. Most of the time I have just my phone, drivers license, and debit card with me. I guess I remember being an early user and having it not work half the time and needing to just pull out the card.

I'm still wishing we had a game tomorrow.

I'm glad Minny is sucking badly this season.

I really wish we had a game tomorrow.

The NFL seems to be pursuing this more than MLB. That site has come up for fifty years everytime a Chicago team needs leverage with their current landlord. It heated up a bit, no pun intended, after the fire. In the end it is a great location but our current teams are locked up.

I use Samsung pay because it works on my watch and phone. I used Google for a while as well. The problem is I don't use either one often enough to make it as seamless as pulling out my debit card. I couldn't really tell which was better.

Wasn't there a manager that went across the field after a game to give him away to the other team? I'd prefer a behind doors chat about missing signs.

I literally laughed out loud here in Whataburger

Under.

Call em up! Our new infield.
