Sign up for LL Bean emails. They have constant sales and some include free shipping. Within a short time you will be able to get the shirts for most likely 50%+ off.

Re: Any CarPlay experts? Dad got a new car, but no Apple joy. - 3 months ago

I do not have any experience with Honda's but when I first started "Carplay'ng" it was all about using a good Apple cable. I sometimes have to unlock my iPhone. I would also give the iPhone a restart. After the restart, start the Honda, unlock the phone, plug it in, and it should connect. A quick search will reveal other frustrations with connecting via CarPlay.

Re: Ughhh, speaking of appliances, who do we like for dishwashers? - 5 months ago

The lady at the big L store pointed us to a Maytag while we were looking at a Bosch in January. As I recall the Bosch has an unusual drying process that she thought we may not like. The Maytag has performed just fine. It is quiet. It replaced a Whirlpool. Maytag MDB8989SHZ

Re: Show of hands - who has put a 2nd drive into a MacMini 2012-ish (give or take) - 7 months ago

I used the sponsor's "Data Doubler" to add a second drive to my 2012 Mini. The second drive is a spinning hard drive. I now have an SSD for boot and a HD for additional storage. No issues such as heat or disconnects have been experienced. The installation is just like your original drive swap. I also have an OyenDigital Mobius 5-bay attached via FW800 for media files. Knock on wood,

Re: I want to the equivalent of Toyota/Honda of bicycles. Any leads? - 8 months ago

My response would be Trek or Specialized. Bikes are generally made of similar components at the various price points. Shifting is either Shimano or SRAM. As others have suggested, hit a local bike shop, see what they have and what they suggest. Most local shops are great at providing long term support to their customers.

Re: Does anyone have a HomeKit Garage Door opener that they LOVE (like) ? - 8 months ago

I have two of the Best Buy Insignia homekit opener add-ons to control my Sears garage door openers. I would not say that I love them. They work most of the time. My problems may be my wireless network.

We have a 15C & 16C from 40 years ago. They are regularly used and are the best. RPN just makes the most sense. HP rocked during these years.
