I think it is 100% natural to have had a dream car, when we were kids. I've already gotten one of them.

I've heard kids today don't care about cars. They do care about phones maybe in the same way.

I still do have dream cars left that need to be put into the garage so to speak. And loose plans to attain them.

Since I was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, and recently had congestive heart failure, I don't do or go to much anymore. I still keep my Garmin's up to date but sadly they are not used much anymore.

What I am doing is taking videos/photos of the birds that visit my yard. Here is a 15 minute video of the critters.

Hello, new user here. I have a DriveSmart 61.

Are there any hacks (custom firmware/firmware hacking) available?

I already know about unlocking maps/etc between units but looking to have more fun.

Apple has released a security update for some older devices. Best to try the steps for the update to what if anything is available. My iPad Air 2 was updated to iPadOS 15.7.9.

Details and applicable “older” devices are in the content at https://bgr.com/tech/apple-releases-important-security-updat...

Apparently some security updates. Quoting Apple

“To prevent security vulnerabilities, it is advised for all users to update their Apple devices to iOS 16.6.1, iPadOS 16.6.1, watchOS 9.6.2, or macOS Ventura 13.5.2.”

I can't resist when a deal seems good.

qty 2 20 lb propane tank fills, $18, Groupon.

We have two tanks. But, I only filled 1, and 1 was expiring.

Google'd and walmart.com $39 for a new tank. I know that's a 2021 price, they are normally around $57 today no matter where, so I order it.

Free shipping, comes next day, on a Sunday.

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.
