    Not to mention the low profile, car tires they're wrapped with. To say it nicely, Michigan is not known for it's smooth, pothole free roads.

    My husbands 2014 3 door Silverado has similar windows only taller. By the time I scoot the seat up for the pedals they block my view to the to right or left for traffic to see if it's safe to pull out. I haven't driven it to town since, like 2014. (also, giant water tank in the back so not rear view mirror :eek: )

    Also, it says "Super Duty". No way those tires are rated E.

    I accidently broke many of my plates and dishes yesterday. They slid off the pizza stone I was using to move them to reorganize the cabinet :whistle:

    Thinking of a new set, stoneware is too heavy, tired of correl sticking together in wash sink (the hot water/soap doesn't get between them) then end up with breaking nails and hurt fingers trying to separate them.

    I know I need rimps on the bottoms, but which chips less, procelain or ceramic? Is there another material I'm missing?

    You aren't alone bogieb. I tried and tried and I can't see anything. I'm usually quick to see the hidden 3D images but this one isn't working for me.

    It takes a lot of skill to screw up the offset on those rims that much.

    For us it is generally whatever Costco is selling at the time we need a new set. We had Correl for years and they held up well. I know exactly what you mean, the plates hydro-lock together.

    And bogieb , it's a picture of Jesus looking down. Lions make up his beard/eyes/hair. I had to stand like 10' away, maybe you guys need to stand further away? (my long distance vision sucks lol). 10 feet, not inches. And BB, maybe try looking at all the white/light part of the pic.

    I'm SO glad you know what I mean!! It puzzled my husband when I mentioned it :picard:

    Too bad we don't have a Costco near.

    I had dark overcast and rain. Started off with a high of 72 and ended at about 64* - but wicked humid. I turned the minisplits to "fan" about 2pm and opened windows. Turned fan off entirely about 6pm and opened windows.

    Low this morning is 60* with 88* humidity and it was still raining until about 2am. Window fans running to cool the house off. I'm hoping the humidity drops some as the skies give way to mostly/partly cloudy and high expected to be around 75*.

    I can't stand any further away - the room isn't that big. All of my vision sucks - distance, mid and near, and that is just from elongation (it has sucked since IWAK, before any other issues started). Additionally, it is wavy (from kerataconus), I have double vision (mainly from the 4 cataracts), and clouds from large floater masses and "folds" from retinal tear scars. Those are just the issues I have indoors, from controlled lighting. You don't want me to get started on low light vision issues.

    I had to hold the phone at arms length, then turn it to the side some, like I was showing someone sitting beside me...I maybe was squinting too.

    Hmm...that exhaust is about window height on a Prius...:whistle: :rofl: :lol:

    At least all the mods I did to my truck in high school were functional/useful!
    This truck looks like the driver wears his/her pants with waistband around their knees...and trucker hat sideways :picard:

    Yes, it is a MI plate. Some big city says in the south but the haze looks like Canadian smoke.
