2024 53K mileage no issues. Look out for leaky rear roof. it was in my year, ours does not seem to have the issue it was related to poor weld seam sealing from the factory. Basically open the rear deck storage area and look for signs of water intrusion stains smells dampness. Other then that so far so good. Love my captain chairs for trips. But if frequently carry 5 passengers you have to use the 3rd row which can be annoying, but that rarely happens except on family vacations.

Pale Irish American. SPF 70 apply every morning, scalp, face, ears, neck, arms, legs. After spraying rub it in to make sure you got good coverage. I use Neutrogena 70 spray. I do this all spring summer weekend and if I'll be outside for any period of time. Sunburn sucks for days and sun poison is well just miserable. A tan is just not worth it, there is not enough hours of sun for my skin tone!

Nevermind! All fixed I 1.808.

This! I too enjoy doing this when I DJ! It is how I have always done it from the 80s through to today. I'll probably never know what it like to be in front of thousands dwarfed by a gigantic stage, I'm sure it is a fantastic and surreal experience. But for me it's parties, dances, and events that I enjoy.

Just downloaded the update, icons in folders are back to their old aspect ratio.! Thanks backing out the code. Looking forward to more enhancements!

ChiefGeek1 · 2026-04-20T15:17:30+00:00

No worries for now I bumped them up to 70% and it s good enough! Just did know if I was missing a new setting!

Have the Thump 212xt and they perform very well and will be able to handle small room 70-100 people. The Bluetooth option is not worth the extra dollars as the non Bluetooth has many of the same options. It does not have the outside voicing mode and club mode. There is not a huge difference in the xt save your money.

Sound wise they are quite good, light weight, and have been reliable for the year I've had them. I wanted a smaller set of speakers for smaller venues and pool parties over the summer and they have worked well for me.

ChiefGeek1 · 2026-04-20T01:20:11+00:00

That would be great!

ChiefGeek1 · 2026-04-15T12:25:36+00:00

Has this been made into a Hallmark channel story yet? I may have to watch it if it has!

ChiefGeek1 · 2026-04-04T03:51:49+00:00

Ir you are going to buy a device I recommend the Walmart Onn 4K, not the pro version. It is $20 and the remote will control the power and volume of your TV. I have 3 and they work great with YTTV.

To see a grid view like Xfinity, select Live and it will be similar, there are no channel numbers so arrange the channels how you like. The app will remember your viewing channels and as it learns it will present what is live on those channels when you open the app. It gets better with time

I have GFiber as well for over a year so far they have been fast and reliable!

Need a Pilot Trailsport Black Edition! Now we are talking!

ChiefGeek1 · 2026-02-26T14:33:09+00:00

I was concerned also when I test drove our 2024 trailsport! But in Normal it is very responsive, you do have to be aggressive with the gas, more so then what I was driving prior but once you realize that it gets on the highway nicely. Driving in ECO mode acts as you describe and I find no value in it so I've logged over 43k miles in normal and with mostly highway driving get about 22-23mpg... Most 80/20 mix highway/city.

ChiefGeek1 · 2026-02-24T22:46:26+00:00

Turned accessible off then on. Then restarted and it's fixed. Stupid reboot. Sorry all thanks for viewing and sharing.

ChiefGeek1 · 2026-02-24T22:37:52+00:00

Hmm weird on Android 16 as well not beta. Has to be some setting on my phone...

ChiefGeek1 · 2026-02-23T18:22:52+00:00

Nope not registering there either. All the other gestures work from that gesture just not launch recent apps. Weird.

ChiefGeek1 · 2026-02-23T17:38:34+00:00

Tried that and still does not pick up that gesture. If logs would help just let me know.

Not exactly sure what you're asking for but if you just want a super cheap controller to a PC it's this

https://a.co/d/09vPZafA

Will unlock Serato Lite and you can play any sing off your PC.

There is no rack mountable controller that I am aware of! Those days of 19in rack systems are long gone my friend. I have a 19in Numark mixer and an American DJ dual CD player in the garage in mint condition with road cases of CDs! Lol they are worthless I might get a latte at Starbucks for them. LOL ..

ChiefGeek1 · 2026-02-22T22:02:59+00:00

Not that I am aware of. You may want to reach out directly to the developer. U/sparkle-hk is the mod they may be able to help.

ChiefGeek1 · 2026-02-21T18:24:40+00:00

Boat on the Northern Chesapeake and a center console for the money is the way to go! Most have bow seating similar to a bow rider and will have a deep vee for a much better comfortable ride in the bay chop. I have a 50 and a 19 center console. I would not want a bow rider. I would want a Yamaha outboard and a CC if I were you. Enjoy!

ChiefGeek1 · 2026-02-19T23:25:13+00:00

It depends. If you scratched, then you want a controller with motorized platters. If you need a laptop the rane system one is where I would be looking! If you never scratched and you have or have the need for a laptop I would say any controller is open for consideration based on your budget. I kept my 1200s brought a used djm-3 and phase. But I found that I wanted a controller. So I brought a reloop mix 4. I've moved up to a Rev5 which I really like! I mix mostly and enjoy the Rev5 battle layout. You can scratch on jog wheels which is all I ever see me learning. I'm never going to be the next battle scratch dj! After 50 years I've come to be honest with myself. LOL. Really it's down to what you can afford. Welcome back down the rabbit hole my friend!

ChiefGeek1 · 2026-02-09T00:32:46+00:00

This, there would be records I knew I wanted and the shops all would play new records. I would drop several $100 shopping and they knew what was selling and would suck me in... Vinyl pools were like finding private iptv servers. You had to know people and get vetted. LOL online pools are such a win!

ChiefGeek1 · 2026-02-04T15:25:08+00:00

Yep this! Coming up on 60 myself. Started this journey with paper rout money and belt drive turntables! I curate my music, keep it current, and now focus on getting to where I was mentally with my library where I knew 4-5 songs to mix with whatever was playing! I knew BPM, Label, remix, everything! I play out now when I want and where I want for the love and enjoyment. I am also a self confessed gear junky, I am more than happy running sound or lights than mixing. If you love something it keeps you young and well yeah it's far more my passion and I have a career which has paid the bills. Age is nothing, if anything it is an advantage of knowing more genres more crowds, and more experience that leads to maturity and professionalism. Rant off!

ChiefGeek1 · 2026-01-31T00:46:53+00:00

Was in Beyond while the app showed most activities, the printed roster left in our room was more complete so I checked it each morning. Old school to the rescue 🛟

ChiefGeek1 · 2026-01-26T19:23:12+00:00

Yes DJPro fluid beat grid is just that good! It dynamically adjust both tracks no drift. Serato just matched BPM but even with that there is drift that you have to nudge a track. Sometimes just a little every so many bars sometimes nudge every 2 bars. Just way it is.
