I managed auto service departments for most of my career. Saw lots of cars like that. When we had work to do on the interior, I had them make another appointment after they had cleaned the car out.

We belong to both and use them frequently. I use Costco most because it is closer to our house and that is where i buy fuel. My wife like Sam's club better. I think Costco is generally a little higher priced on some items but it also evens out. I think it is a coin toss. I like to use the one...

2007 Tacoma Bought it new and still drive it daily. 260,000 miles. Only replaced the A/C compressor 5-6 years ago. It will be for sale in 2-3 weeks as I made a deal on a new one. The only reason I am upgrading is for the newer safety features & bluetooth, backup camera. Upgrading to a 2025...

Toyota My wife is on her 4th 4Runner. Pretty hard to go wrong there. I drive a Tacoma. Scott

hospice My mother passed away in January this year. She was put on hospice home care in August of 2021. They came in every day for an hour and helped her with everything. They were/are awesome and very gracious in their care for her. She was 65 miles away and I was there at least 2 days a week...

K22 with the gold box I looked at one at a gun show locally yesterday was k301XX in poor condition probably 40% bluing remaining and newer grips that were modified. They were asking $999.00. I would like another one but did not even make an offer. There was another one at a different table...

Catalytic converter I would take it to muffler shop such as Midas or some other brand (don't know what options are in LA). Get pricing on an aftermarket CAT they are usually several hundred dollars less than an OE one. At the same time with it being a 2006 I would make plans for it to be owned...

Tires When I was working at the Toyota dealership we sold a lot of the Bridgestone Blizzack, always recommend using them on all 4 corners. I don't remember any complaints with them and a couple of customers ran them all year round. Michelin also makes an excellent winter tire. The time to get...

Phone: long short long.

4 Runner. We are on our sixth one only because hail took our 2016 in May. We bought a new one this time getting 19+mpg and it is not broke in yet. When we settled with the insurance company we got more than we paid for it after owning for 4 yrs and putting about 70,000 miles on it. You will not...

We recently changed banks after being with the old one since the 80's. We went into our ssa.com and changed the payment info and it went well. They said it could take up to two months to change but in our case it was about six weeks. Good luck with the change. Scott

Cemetery plots Earlier this year we bought 4 plots at a rural cemetery where my in laws are interned. It was the same price to buy 4 as it was for 3. Our youngest son passed away last September at 41. He left his daughter (14 now) whom he had sole custody of, we have guardianship of her now and...

Target sight If I remember correctly the adjustable front sight was a factory option available on 6" & 8 3/8" barrels and was intended for silhouette competition. I always wanted one with that sight but haven't seen one for probably 35 plus years. Others more knowledgeable will be along...

Kubotas That is a fine fleet of Kubota's you have there. I have a BX2350 for our house in town & a L3560 for the farm. Great machines. Scott

Awesome day Good job on that. We try to do something similar a couple of times a year.
