Polarized won't ever work with the current screen technology. You will have to buy non-polarized. I bought some Oakley's.

Not my attic, but I just paid for my cellulose insulation.

I bought FitCamX for my Taco and the wife's Highlander. Maybe 10 minutes each to install and be dashcamming on the roads of america.


Also picked up a couple pairs of bottle lamps for the wife to decorate my fallen soldiers. These are so easy and not permanent. These (black) look great on top of the white Clase Azul, and I didn't have to drill and wire them

There are some polarized lenses that you can still see the HUD, but it's not bright, like with non-polarized lenses. It depends on the degree of polarization.
I have a pair that I can still see the HUD, but I also have a pair of sunglasses with non-polarized lenses for when I want to be able to see the HUD while I'm driving.

Even older screens technology and HUDs are very hard to see with polarized lenses.

Mine is close to 5 figures, that's why I pay it monthly. I don't live in the US, so in US dollars, it is probably $100.00
I just think of it as a monthly mortgage payment.
No kids in school for at least the last 10 years, and I'm still paying for school
Water and sewers used to be included in the taxes and are now in my hydro bill.
I love it!

Some fresh new footwear. Of all the shoes I currently or previously owned, this is the first pair of Pink shoes. Thoughts?

I misread his post. You are correct, the HUD will not be impacted other than thr sunglasses dimming it. Only the screens.

Did you get a free bowl of soup with that purchase?



I've had pink shirts and pink underwear ( both intentional), never pink shoes.

Only a true Dapper Fellow can rock these.

Actually... At the event I wore these to yesterday, I received tons of compliments. Several guys but at least a dozen women. So I'll take that as I made a good choice.

Greenwood Propane Torch (Harbor Freight)

We have a triangular area out front that is covered in river stones. The stones were dirty when delivered, but we were able to wash them off with a hose. Unfortunately, all that soil ended up under the stones and on top of the underlying anti-weed fabric. So weeds have started growing in that soil. We've been pulling the weeds by hand, but that's getting old and this year there are a shit ton of dandelions growing in the stones. We don't use chemicals in the yard, so the only other option was a weed torch. I took out a lot of weeds today in maybe 25-30 minutes. We'll see how long they stay gone.

I overdid it. Should have read Bob Vila first. You don't have to char the weed to cinders. Just a quick zap to alter the internal workings of the weed and it'll die in a day or two. That'll make it easier next time.

Tru dat. I was disappointed they didn't burn to a cinder more quickly. I really need a ray gun or some sort of laser zapper.
