Haven't played for about a year. I usually set up a deep cistern to see me through droughts. Now my deep pools just drain away quickly at the start of a drought.

Did they change something?

When I test drove my 2023 Rav4 SE, I liked how "tight" the car drove. I previously had Explorers, which were like boats.

Over time, I noticed that the Rav4 was less tight and was handling like the Explorers did. I had replaced the tires, and figured that was the cause.

At my 45,000 service, Toyota noted my right rear shock was leaking. Their recommendation was to "keep an eye on it". I didn't like that answer, so I got a quote to replace it, and asked them to check if it would be covered under my extended warranty. It took some further coaxing for them to check when they said, "I don't know, but probably not", and it was covered! So now, rather than getting a new shock during the serv

We can't go.

PM me an email if you want them.

I have 3 unopened Airfit F30I Med masks to give away. These are the mask only, not the headgear.

Please DM me if your really need them. No, insurance, etc. I want to help someone, not give someone something they can sell.

Here's why I have them.

I had a CPAP over 20 years ago. Got UPPP surgery, and they called me cured.

Recently, I developed cardiac PVCs. Had a ablation to treat this. During my aftercare visit, I mentioned that I wake up with my heart pounding at night. Cardiologist suggested a sleep study.

I pick up the home sleep study and the night I am to do the test a cold is coming on and getting worse as I get closed to bed time. I told them this when I picked i

I used, and enjoyed, a CPAP about 20 years ago. I got the UPPP surgery and was cleared to discontinue the machine. Fast forward to now, and I am having issues resulting in a sleep study, and a recommendation to go back on a CPAP.

I know it will be a pain, but I am also looking forward to getting true restful sleep like I did before on my CPAP.

Now I am waiting for the local provider to review my referral and submit to insurance. They are dragging their feet, and I am switching insurance May 1. Bad timing.

So, I am considering just purchasing my own CPAP. I have a deductible and an out-of-pocket, so I will likely wind up paying for it anyway.

Reading here, I see a lot of recommen

I can't find the new TSA wait time feature in the new version of the app. I did the update, and still don't see it.

One thing I've learned through all this is that sometimes people can't choose to have a good attitude and roll with it. When I get brain fog, I can't think, I can't hear, and I get confused and irritable.

None of this is a choice.

I am traveling, and I took a gamble on oatmeal at the Marriott. Now I feel the brain fog kicking in.

It feels like everyone is talking way too fast and I can't comprehend.

Anyone else get this?

At 35,000 miles, I replaced the stock Dunlop tires on my 2023 Rav4 SE Hybrid with Pirelli Scorpion AS+3. This was a difficult decision for me because the stock tires weren't "done" and I don't know tires enough to know whether changing tires would improve or worsen anything.

Main complaints with the stock tires: road noise and front tire slippage. The car would lose traction on acceleration in certain places. Dry conditions. Coming off the river road near my house, it would slip whenever I made the right. Why there? No clue. Tire noise was very bad, but I was uncertain whether this was actually the tires or a lack of sound dampening.

Then one of the Dunlops developed a bad wear pattern

Had an ablation done on 11/13/25. All was going well. Had a 48-Hr Holter and they mentioned Right Bundle Branch Block (RBBB).

Over the past two days, my heart rate has been dipping down into the 30's.

Called my cardiologist and he said this is likely due to the RBBB. He is ordering another Holter.

I got the results from my 48 Hour Holter following the ablation (11/13/25).

I went from a burden of 53% to 0.2%. I feel amazing.

I saw the senior electrophysiologist, but the procedure was performed by a different EP. The senior electrophysiologist is old and is no longer performing procedures. This is fine, the performing EP is excellent. My only issue is that the performing EP was not as "chatty" and was sparse on the details. I like information, but really didn't feel like the performing EP was open to discussing things in detail.

The senior EP said that high burden PVCs will cause heart damage if left untreated, and that by left ventricle was already "ballooning" slightly. He added

TLDR: I am doing great! No PVCs!!!

For those following along at home, I had very high burden PVCs with heavy symptoms like fatigue, vertigo and brain fog. I got an ablation on 11/13.

Recovery was rough. I was very tired and largely unable to do much for the first week. At 10 days, I had an appointment with a PA at the EC's office. During the visit, I explained my ongoing headaches, mild fatigue, and occasional shooting stars across my vision. I had been having the random gold stars since the ablation.

I asked the PA about the "normal" recovery time, trying to determine where I was in the process. She used soft language and didn't answer me saying no one can tell you how long recovery wi
