My car interior came with a lot of optional red stitching. Subsequent years offered stitching on more panels so, I swapped those in.

How neat, I had no idea that you can change/update those.
The hard part is finding them as new car takeoffs. In a new car they are part of an expensive package of all sorts of things. To prevent knowledgeable customers from skipping the package and buying the panels from the parts department, Ford puts an absurd price on them. That kind of stuff is very market dependent. For example, Ford had a Mustang 50th anniversary package in 2015. It included a grill with a corral around the pony like the original Mustang. In the US, that part listed for over $1,000 while the part without the corral was around $200. I discovered Ford sold the same corral grill part for a little over $200 in Europe. Guess where I got mine along with a few extras to sell in the US for far more than I paid for all of them. :wink:

Nice!!! I see yours is equipped with the Millennial anti-theft device. I can't imagine a 'Stang without one.

Have no choice. My wife claims she doesn't know how to drive an automatic. Although I suspect its really more a matter of can't stand driving an automatic.

My millennial son says his generation has similar trouble with manual tooth brushes.

You and I married two women cut from the same cloth. She absolutely refuses to drive an automatic.

This really is a “Palm” phone. I think I’ve found a good working solution for the Duo’s phone/text cumbersome-ness (not sure that’s actually a word). The T-Mobile Digits line is now free at the expense of losing data. No biggie, this is useless for anything but phone calls and an occasional text message. The Duo can now stay perched in its holster for the majority of my day. I got it on eBay for $60 in mint shape. Ignore the “sim is not from Verizon” notification, it’s unlocked and T-Mobile pops up after a few seconds.

How does the device change the fee for the digits line? No data because changes to the digits line or the device doesn't have data capability? Not familiar with either so sorry for any dumb questions.

No such thing as dumb questions. The Digits line, when first introduced, was free for calls and text only. They had a data option for $10/month that basically shared the data with the phone line it was attached to. Now it's just calls and text for free and no option for data. If you want data on your Digits phone you either share the hotspot from your phone or use wi-fi. That's fine by me, I'm not reading emails or texts on this tiny little 3.3" display. I know that sounds crazy now considering my beloved Palm Treos from the dark ages were 2.5" screens.

my new toy - samsung galaxy watch 4, 40mm. It is actually thinner than the active 2 watch which is also 40mm. Also, installed google pay. since samsung no longer supports mst on new phones, there is no reason to keep them. The OS will take some getting used to since it is no longer Tizen

What did you use to set up WearOS app or Galaxy Wear like a Tizen watch?

AfterShokz - Air Wireless Bone Conduction headphones. They're kinda... cool. I use headphones a lot in the morning and was just getting sick of in-ear headphones, and I can't really stand large headphones for long. Decided to give these a try and they work a lot better than I thought. And louder than I thought they would be. Obviously, these aren't the sort of things you use for high quality audio but they should be fine for my usual podcasting and youtubing. At some point, I'll try them on a bike ride.
