My wife, SIL, BIL and I are ATVing in Michigan this weekend. I am using my Garmin Zumo XT on my Can Am Outlander. At one point, I entered a destination on the Garmin, and while routing it displayed local time 1154 and arrival time 1104! It took me a moment to realize that I was starting in one time zone and would be arriving in a different time zone.

Perhaps you can post on a new book you're reading, a new hobby you're taking up or about random finds as you finally get around to cleaning out the..., or your most recent adventure?

Anything to keep your windmill alive.

Please keep comments polite.

Cupholder broke again (actually spring weakens and arm falls off).

It was jammed shut, but I forced it to open, and then jammed open and arm dropped down.

I replaced this part when I got the used car in 2016 with Toyota OE. At the time eBay for $140.

Now, eBay is $190 with a list of $295. For a cupholder.

So I saw one from Japan, brand new OE, $114, ordered it Thu night 9/22.

I saw he had said, when you make work optional, your economy stagnates.

Does it seem to be the case, they here in 2022, people avoid work more than say in 1972?

For one, I see people show up at work at 10 AM, then leave at 2 PM. I see people who used to work in the office in 2019, never come to work anymore.

Definitely an "Off Topic" discussion!

Been awhile since I've been here....plus I'm old...LOL. Can someone please tell me what it means when an author describes his file as a raw file?

I know we got some geeks on here, maybe can offer a perspective im missing.

About a month ago I started having strange issues on a pc built back in q3 2019. I don't game on this, strictly productivity tasks.

A month ago, I bought a new 2022 GMC pickup equipped with what GM calls a "collision avoidance system" It uses an array of sensors to detect objects in the road ahead and automatically applies the brakes to avoid a collision.

There is an urgent-need update for the Google Chrome browser to patch a flaw that is reportedly "being exploited in the wild." They don't say exactly what the problem is here, but normally this means that if you use an unpatched version of Chrome and are unlucky enough to click a link to a compromised website, you may be the victim of a malware or ransomware attack or have personal information you
