Can someone do me a favor and confirm. I don't have a light strip on the bottom of this small strip like the rest of the car. I'm pretty sure there isn't one there but wondering if it might be out? Sorry for the bad pic, but I think you get what I'm asking. Right above the light switch.

Oh. Just went out to be a smart ass and was going to post this picture but realized no, there isn't a light there. It's only that low in front of passenger seat

10-4, cool thanks for doing this. So I am not missing the double strip here.

Nice watch!

I wish you didn't bring that to our attention. That's going to drive me wild now.
Thank you!

Yeah, it's kind of weird that this is the only area that is not contiguous, but I am guessing a strip here would make reading the illuminated headlight switch controls hard to read at night.

M-Performance Grills installed this morning. This is the last picture I'll take on my iPhone 13 Pro Max. Heading to the Apple Store to pick up the 14 Pro Max.

Zoomed in through my office window.

Thank you. Correct, I went with the OEM M-Performance Grills. $190 shipped through my parts contact. Saved me $35.

Nice. I've got the car mods on hold until I get these new golf clubs, but I am still thinking about circling back to the black grill and side vents.

I'm going to go with the Mizuno Pro 225's. I haven't bought any irons in ten years. I've been going back and forth between a set of Ping s56 and G25 irons.

I hope I get to play with them after the new kid arrives haha. I always make sure the wife gets her girls' nights, etc. so that I can slip in a round most weekends. Hope it continues to be possible.

New clubs and lessons over the winter added 25 yards to all my clubs 😀. I'd say 15 from the clubs/technology and another 10 from my new swing

Played yesterday. One of those days where it makes me want to quit. Such a frustrating game. Playing again a week from today which will probably close out the season. Holding to finish strong.

You're from New England. You know we gotta plan until it stings your hands when you smack the ball

In any given 6 month period I will play like both an 8 and an 18 handicap. Funny, it seems highly correlated to when I get to practice. I started at age 21, so I don't have the muscle memory of guys that started at 10-12 or younger. But if I practice, I can get it together and have some decent rounds. Only shot even par once, never had a hole in one. But I was runner up in our club championship one year (before parenting became my primary mission, which I love).
