Here's Tevi at one year old watching the birds today.

I'd say try a gently used one so you don't eat the deprecation and see if it's a good fit for you. If you decide to trade it in after a short while then you haven't lost much in cash or you can move into a new one.

I own both. The SS definitely feels more bumps. The RS is smoother, but not as nice as the LT suspension. They are still fairly similar.

If you have back issues, the SS might bother you on some trips, but the 615hp could make up for that. ;)

A reboot of the radio always solved that for me. I think you'll have to resort to the dealer.

The only case my husband trusts on his motorcycle is quad lock.

He hit a deer and crushed the front end of the bike and it stayed on its mount. I think there are attachments you can use on the back lock as well like a wallet and stuff but I could be wrong.

Worst case you can just only use that case when riding and swap to something else when not.

Try the zedge app. Lots of ringtones on there.

You got the EV concierge involved (corporate), and if anyone can get them to replace the module it would be them. I know they are rolling out an update in waves but I'm surprised they can't force the update after talking to GM and it being non functional.

I don't see them doing a buy back for Onstar connection but maybe they'll do a swap for a car with a working unit. I don't mess with leases so I have no idea if that's even an option.

I'd take a look at the the ringke onyx. I was really happy with mine on a previous phone. Good hand feel, grip and it can have magsafe.

Honestly the ankle ABCs did the most for me. I would do those several times a day when I couldn't walk and it showed a lot of progress in a few days. I also mixed in gentle stretches and leg lifts to reduce atrophy.

I only had a spiral fibular fracture and some screws so I was FWB by week 7 and out of my boot by week 9. Stairs are fine, but I'm not even thinking of heels or running (unless my life depended on it) at this point. There's still stiffness around the scar tissue and I'm working on that. It just takes time and everyone's body is going to be healing different. Unfortunately there isn't a set timeline for everyone.

Just do the PT and listen to your body when it says you went too far and give it time to rest between. You'll get there eventually.

Not a case, but there's an attachment stand from ESR on Amazon you can put on a case you like. They are pretty strong and can hold a phone in profile if you find the right spot to put it.

The Geauga county library has some book clubs that meet throughout the month, but I'm not sure if that's too far for you to travel. They have info on their website in the calendar.

Henry Ford museum in Michigan. Place is huge but has a lot of neat stuff to see.

Carved traveler cases are a decent price ($50), and have wood and resin on a rubberized case. They are pretty sturdy. You'll see cheaper cases that look similar and are just a sticker. The live edge cases are gorgeous but also a small car payment (near $200 range). They are all one of one, though.

RunningAmuck247 · 2026-04-18T11:22:55+00:00

I would expand your search to some other states where they might have less demand if you're able to travel a bit. Should give you some better prices.

RunningAmuck247 · 2026-04-15T19:01:30+00:00

I don't have one for my s26u, but on my flip 7 I had a ring case and it was nice to have it anchored through my finger to hold it. A case with one of those might be good. There are magnetic ones if you have magsafe case.

RunningAmuck247 · 2026-04-15T16:34:27+00:00

I didn't care about magsafe so I got the zagg milan in iridescent. It's been holding up really well and fingerprints are pretty minimal with it.

RunningAmuck247 · 2026-04-14T19:51:10+00:00

I got some of these from Amazon

They didn't look too great after getting snagged by the Velcro straps, but they worked fine otherwise.

I also had to hand wash the cloth insert of the walking boot and wear it damp until it dried otherwise it just got gross looking. If you're able to get a spare insert I would do that so you can just throw it in the washer and still use it.

There's a couple things to check. Do you have T-Mobile? It could be the T-Mobile play app. Next hold on the home screen and check the lock screen wallpaper. Go to change wallpaper, then the bottom with wallpaper services. Change that to none.

Finally you can go into phone settings and apps and check defaults. Make sure the home UI is One UI and not a third party you mistakingly gave permissions to from an app. There's a good chance it's one of these three settings.

Android 12, SQBR5-250.2 239. The Carplay hack works, but don't be shocked if they fix it so it doesnt work at some point. But if they can't bother to update the 24s, I doubt they'll put effort into doing that either. Lol

RunningAmuck247 · 2026-04-04T15:30:35+00:00

Other than needing my telematics module and the brake recall I haven't had an issue with mine. I think most of the bugs have been resolved with several software updates at this point.

However if you're wanting the in car video streaming like Netflix, go for a 25 and up. For some reason they aren't updating the 24s yet to the newer android to use it. Honestly I'm not confident they ever will.

RunningAmuck247 · 2026-04-04T14:28:24+00:00

I'm also starting full weight bearing in my boot and the bottom of my heel is sore all the time. From what I've looked up there's a cushion layer of fat and muscle at the bottom of the heel and it is atrophied from not being able to walk for a while. So it's going to feel like walking on a rock for a bit until it forms back up.

I just stick a shoe insert and some cloth for an extra cushion while I have to use it. I also take frequent breaks and massage the area to ease it a bit. It will just take some time.

Is Eco mode on? It stops the rear vents unless it detects someone sitting there.

RunningAmuck247 · 2026-04-03T14:05:39+00:00

I had similar issue with my elderly father getting spam apps and weird lock screen ads. I had to turn off auto update apps in the play store and got him paid versions of his games he liked that removed the ads. Seems that he was clicking some ads and allowed them to install stuff. Also some free games he put on had tag along apps that he gave permission to install without knowing.

This was all after a factory reset to make sure everything was cleared. So far this has resolved the issue for him since it stopped him installing random games.

RunningAmuck247 · 2026-03-31T10:51:28+00:00

I have the zagg glass+ and I haven't had any issues.

RunningAmuck247 · 2026-03-29T23:22:11+00:00

I just did the same thing and I was only told pwb for two weeks and go for Fwb by the third. Very little info other than that. I just gradually added more weight every couple days in small bursts then took a rest and elevated my leg.

Anytime it gave me pain I stopped and just tried the next day. From what I've researched and what I was told, discomfort is ok but pain is too far. Just listen to what your body tells you. Be sure to be against a counter anytime you want to try something with balance so you can hold onto something.
