Gotta love it when one gets volunteer blind sided etc. into something that one has very little interest...another reason why they made drive thru. ;)
The worst part is that, while I can stand to lose some weight, I know that I will lose more weight faster than Mrs will. . .

Buppies, if you do fix your miracle machine, would you please get GM to make this in a 2500 diesel with supercruise.
nice looking truck, but very resistant to downsizing trailer to fit the truck. which of course means upsizing the truck and gaining
another ton, or two. Such a wack a mole, bang the weight up to help with towing and bang the ease of using as a daily driver way down.

so Buppies, talk to Santa please, it's not too early, while you are working on that white pavement machine,
see if you can arrange a 3/4 ton 1000# torque diesel
with self driving that looks like this truck on mild steroids.

I wonder what a Rivian with duallies would be like?
It's got the weight and sure has the horsepower.
wait another year until they build more chargers.
many Ford Lightnings have been getting 100-150 mile range while towing heavy trailers, that's a real problem and a lot of stopping
and waiting. Does make you wonder if we are backing the right horse with EV, and not going for cleaner fuels like I think the
Europeans are doing. That train has left the station, China is building close to 1 million EV cars a year.

I kind of like going down to my neighborhood gas station, the one I've been going to since age 16 and saying hi to the owner
when getting gas. Those days will soon be gone, replaced by robots at gas stations likely. Besides, the station I like just over the river in NJ
means it's NJ, and they pump your gas. Only state in the country where that is law. They even occasionally will wash your windshield, without asking.
like time travel back to the "old days".
Kilroy, you have to admit, one of the few benefits of NJ...besides their beaches.

these 22 inch rims would have to go. Would downsize to 20, mandatory for that trim level, which is dumb.

back outside I go

I helped out a friend who owned a service station, so I never minded pumping my own gas. What gear head does?

what I really miss from Jersey is all the different good restaurants in walking distance…

And Italian Hot Dogs. Dickie Dee’s off Bloomfield Avenue, right by Calandra’s Bakery. Coronary on bread. Way back when, I could eat three doubles in one sitting. And then go to Calandra’s for dessert. Sometimes dessert was just a whole Italian bread, still hot from the oven…

Here’s a glitch in the browser. Current posts following post #10
I see that occasionally, when my notifications are behind by 10 or more. Goes away when I refresh the current page.

The power grid that supplies Va Penn, WVA, Ohio parts of Indiana, Illinois is nearing capacity today. Brown outs possible We are asleep at the switch again, this grid has 186000 mega watts hits today at 156000 mega watts if I’m writing down numbers correctly pretty close
Now lets all go out and buy EV’s. . .

Don’t see a way to make robocopy work with my iPhone.
The problem is iPhone files app isn’t displaying thumbnails for most files, if no thumbnail they don’t copy.
I went back and sorted and dated wife’s pictures on my computer. Then uploading to google drive.
The files app has same issue with local files on the phone, not a good app, but only one I’ve found to do bulk imports, when it works. When it works, it’s good.
I am lost. Sorry, which way are you going?

Are you going from your iPhone to the PC? Because you were wanting to move your files to another cellular device, I thought.

I had thought you could tether the iPhone and the PC via USB.

If dates were the issue on the PC, robocopy can either keep them or modify them accordingly.

I found an easy solution. Not too long ago I bought an iPhone adapter to read SD cards, just copy files to SD card and attach. Using same iPhone files program to bring them in.
On the phone screen, the ones without thumbnail won’t transfer. But using SD card, the thumbnails came up.

going PC to iphone.
In windows explorer, the path is "This PC\Apple iPhone\Internal Storage\DCIM" You can drag and drop to it, but you can't access it via command line, at least I can't. If you drag and drop it will give the file todays date.

I can pull photos off of the Iphone and maintain the dates using the windows Photo app. the problem is putting photos back onto an iphone and maintaining the date. THe adapter worked. The problem I was having using Iphone files app was the picture thumbnails would not load, and the files without thumbnails are not recognized. I assume this is do to them not being totally loaded. If you select each file individually it would open, but I wasn't going to do that 1500 times.

The saga of fixing the broken fitting on the hydraulic hose continue.
Went to the hydraulic shop and got a new hose. Went home to install and found out it had a wrong fitting on one end. Back to the shop to get it replaced. Back home to install and the fitting blew off the hose. Headed back to the shop and found it closed. Will have go there in the morning again

On top of that the traffic was backed up because of the crane collapse on I70 and took forever. We drive by the construction site often where the crane is located for the bridge replacements
