Jeff, Yes, my 18 month old 2023 F-150 Lightning has Blue Cruise, as a subscription, I said, thanks but NO. THAT (subscriptions) was one of the questions I had for the sales person when I was considering buying the truck. I was concerned because they are a "Hot spot" if needed, but There are No fees associated with it, thank god. and . . .
I have 2 sewing machines, If your interested in a new one, I would consider a used one (sometimes they are hard to give away) and lil $$ on a tune up, by a good repair shopI totally agree with doing a brother printer and anything they make like that. Mine is still going strong and it's years old. And yes I hate shopping online. Google inserts it's nonexpert opinions and throws wrong information to me every time. They also use a robot to edit my pictures which I hate also. However I'm pretty sure there's not a single store in town that carries a post sewing machine in my small town. I'll find one.
That's the hot ticket, buying used if you are looking at a high end machine. Those things can run 50 years if maintained. I saw new machines that ran close to $40,000!
For once we got under an inch
. Even though it was only down around 30 or 32° it's down right cold 
. It didn't feel this cold when it was -0. Those are beautiful pictures though. Hope you and Kerry didn't have anything to do. So you could just sit around and enjoy your deck.
That's what I think too. Besides that used seems to be the way to go. The new ones are crappy and not what I want. The older post sewing machines are so fun. You can sew anything you want. Anyway you want.
We are in Maryland, between the Bay and the Atlantic. The coast got hammered all the way up to Massachusetts.
I didn't get what Jeff did at all. It was weird though. Here it really only was down around 28 -30 something °f. I was freezing but we only got a bit of snow.On the warmer side of cold this morning. The last couple of weeks has been topsy turvy. January it warmed up, and the snow in the Sierras had started to melt then Iced up, then we got hammered with rain, and nearly 8 feet of snow in the Sierras the last 3 weeks. Not sure if you heard but there was a very large avalanche up near Tahoe in the Sierras. In very bad conditions 9 folks lost their lives in an avalanche, 3 guides and 6 skiers (worst ski accident in California). Ski Patrol had a hard time finding them and took several days to retrieve them due to the weather conditions. Really sad for the family's, Now there are investigations into WHY they were out in such bad weather.
Supposed to rain good the next two days, The Pineapple express is supposed to hit us.
Warm moisture air from the tropics is coming our way, we can still use it. Our avg. rainfall here in El Sobrante, Ca, is about 24" (61cm), so far according to my weather station we have received just under 14" (35cm), we need 10" more to hit "Normal Avg" . The winter of 2022-2023 we got 38" (96cm), THAT was a good snow pack, filled our reservoirs to the brim, and held us over for a couple of years.
Hope everyone is well, and staying warm, over on the east coast . . Cathie G, Jeff K.
Toodle's!
I didn't feel that cold when it was -0. I did see about the people caught up in the avalanche there. Poor people.
Peace . . .and bliss....I promise there's a dog in there somewhereView attachment 398754
