Amazon guaranteed delivery overnight 4 to 8 AM
JD Lud replied to Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
They give you a credit often if they miss the window. Sometimes nothing, other times you cancel the order and it shows up for free. I have had a good success rate with overnight delivery. for example it’s Saturday night and you want to mount a TV. You realize you don’t have the right bolts for it….closest hardware store that has them is say 25 minutes away….so get up, get presentable, round trip, find them in the store…probably 2 hours of your time easy. or find the bolts on Amazon for a few bucks, add 2.99 for be there when I wake up delivery or I add more stuff I can use anyways like groceries and it’s free. No trip to town, just wake up and it’s waiting…..install and done in less time then it would take to go to the store. Amazon has created expectations that other companies strive to meet. They are the new standard. -
My best Amazon purchase was when they hit about 80 bucks a share last spring…it’s covering my purchases for a few years

They have some 4k dash cams, front and rear. Can for sure read plates….worth getting to protect from scams, road rage, etc

But it includes prime video and all your shipping if you are a routine Amazon shopper it will pay for itself easily.

Is it really sporting? I mean those poor clays are defenseless just minding their own business trying to fly off into the sunset.

Just a conversation or consultation is what I would start with . -
Some of it is so cheesy…don’t mess with the special investigators….

I would at least ask an attorney or two. I think that they would be able to tell you rather quickly if you have a case…and the insurance company is taking the first stab, hoping you cash that check and are in need of money. -
Mine is working just fine in 70 degree Florida. Of course we are going to see a freeze tonight down to 30…..Hope we survive. If I lived back in the Midwest, no way I would have it there. also even new….i don’t think I have got close to the advertised miles per charge yet. I would say maybe 3/4 of what it says….not sure if it’s like city and highway where more stop and go driving drains the battery faster which is what I do. Biggest like so far is no key…my phone is my key. No unlock getting in or locking it getting out. Gas cars can do this though too. Acceleration is still crazy, going 30 but want to be going 60? Just a pedal touch away and throw you back into the seat.

Anything series worth watching on Netflix or Amazon?
JD Lud replied to Okie Sawbones, SASS #77381's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Pat- Thanks for the list as I didn’t realize Band of Brothers made it to Netflix! Perfect time to rewatch -
No matter the weight of the oil, big difference between minimal flow and full lubricity. Easiest way I have been exposed is helicopters in cold weather. Watch the oil pressure gauge at start up or a minute after compared to a couple minutes later….massive drop in pressure as it warms up.

If you do buy a EV , you might not want a Hyundai
JD Lud replied to Buckshot Bob 's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Believe this can all be summed up with a classic line. “Don’t hate the player, hate the game” also, remember not everyone can use or wants a small car to begin with…but for those in the market here is a good example. 2024 base model civic to lease is 269 a month and 3599 down. Tesla Model3 was 294 a month and 3,400 down. This is courtesy of the government incentives as pointed out…but for less than 25 bucks a month difference I would take this car vs a civic any day of the week unless making long trips that charging would be a pain. At buc-cees last night there were maybe 3 other Teslas at the dozen or so super chargers. Two of them the people were sitting in them waiting and the other was a Toyota Tacoma someone just parked on purpose in an EV charging spot. It would be a big adjustment to not just pump gas and go but rather wait an hour or so each time if you couldn’t charge at home.
