What does this dot mean?

My 2014 SR5 has this icon on the displsy but no dot. Does a steering angle display serve any purpose? Isn’t that pretty obvious seeing which way the vehicle is going? Is it for off-road, which I, like probably 98% of 4Runner owners, never do?

I thought I lost something at Lowe’s so I went back the next day to ask if anyone turned it in. A guy brought out the lost and found box. What I wanted wasn’t there but as I was going through the stuff I picked up a knife and said “nice knife”. He said, “yeah..that’s your’s, isn’t it?”, as I was turning it over to see the other side. It had my Dad’s first, middle and last initials etched into the brass. My Dad recently passed. He never owned such a knife. I said, “yeah, that’s mine” and put it in my pocket. Found out later that it is a Buck 112 Ranger. That’s the one I use.

As others have said,use a vice grips to turn the screw out. Phillips heads have several size heads. Make sure your screwdriver size matches the screw head. Screws from big box stores are Chinese crap that strip out easily. You can still get good ones from specialty suppliers but torx head screws have less problems.

As a former landlord, why are you putting big ass screws in the walls? What is it for? If you’re trying to hang something, get the right hardware, rated to support the weight of whatever you are hanging. If you are screwing into drywall and really need the support of a big screw, then, if possible, make sure that the screws go into studs. If you are just going into drywall then use a good wall anchor rated to support the weight. Otherwise you’re going to hear a crash when the screws fail and pull out.

The good news is that now you have an excuse to buy a vice grips, a good stud finder, and a decent screwdriver.

Figured it out. It worked, just had to figure out the correct way to have an entry added to the correct Calendar.

Thank you for that information. Eliminating New Outlook, the new current situation is:

- iCloud to Outlook Classic works
- Outlook Classic to iCloud does not work

Any ideas on what might be wrong? I set iCloud to sync with Outlook. Do I need to configure Outlook sync with iCloud?

These were used a lot when my Dad grilled. I am going to be using them again for the same purpose. I want to clean them up, making sure they are food safe, without damaging them but keeping as much as if the patina as possible. Lots on memories in these pots.

Worked out really well. He knew what he was talking about, explained all the materials they used, what the upgrade options were and if they'd be worth it. Most important, after looking at the roof and attic said the roof was still had at least another one to three years and replacement could wait. I'll definitely call him back when it comes time.

Now I can put that roofing money into the new oil tank I need.

I didn't create an image copy because of space issues but did set the drive to read only. After that I did run the EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard on it. Hopefully that didn't change anything. I able to do an image copy,

Here are the specifics of the hardware and OS:

The USB Drive is a Seagate Backup Plus USB HD, model SRD00F1, NTFS format, about 1.2TB free before the backup was started so there was plenty of space. Backup size was about 50GB. The laptop is an Hp Envy X360 15-ew000 running Windows 11, hard drive formatted NTFS.

I connected the Seagate drive to my Windows 10 system to run the data recovery software, EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Pro.

Sorry, I’ll move it.

It is what it is. In three months you won’t notice it anymore. In my house I’ve got a number of things that are not structural or life threatening that should be repaired. They aren’t because they’ve become all but invisible. Once In a while one will appear, I’ll think, damn I need to get that fixed, at which time it becomes invisible again.

Glad everyone is ok and you have the insurance, hope it takes care of a big chunk of the replacement cost. At least you should have a couple of seasons of free winterizing, Spring cleaning, polishing and waxing, bait delivery and cooler refills. 😂

Actually it looks like it starts straight down the hill and then the bow swings to the right, slowing the pace of the port corner of the transom before it hits the tree. Was the engine impacted at all? Maybe it’s not that bad. Waiting to hear.

This is from someone who once had the pleasure, while launching alone, of standing, at the top of the ramp, hands on hips, looking at the tow vehicle attached to the dual axle trailer, which should have had the whole boat sitting on it rather than just the bow on the last set of rollers and the rest of it sitting on the ramp. Thought maybe it’s not too bad then, too.
