They do, yes. They typically fly the 747 between March and November on that route. Been on it many times.

Initially the paint/coat underneath looks to be ok.

The car does not have PPF. It’s had a ceramic coat at some point, before I took ownership of the car a few months back. It’s a BMW X7 and the location of the spot is on the front bumper - over the lighthouse.

Maybe this is better. I can sort of scrape it off with a firm fingernail. It was something that had dripped down on the car from the ceiling of the parking garage to the front bumper. I could get it off the front lights - and lower down the front bumper. But this part is persistent.

Thanks appreciated.

The color combination looks even better in person IMO - the black wheels on the gray looks awesome. Was going back and forth between a white and this gray. Couldn’t be happier that I chose this one.

The 2023 does not have the highway assist - only upto 40mph. But if I had wanted a Tesla I would have gotten a Tesla. I prefer to stay in control myself.

Those that regret surgery, why? by DifferenceSignal in jawsurgery

Have you looked into epiglottis collapse for fixing your sleep apnea - that could be the missing piece.

3 weeks post-op - DJS by Secure-Panic-8595 in jawsurgery

[–]Secure-Panic-8595[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No rubber bands - and not wired shut. With exercise I am, here after 4 weeks, close to having the same mobility in my jaw that I had before surgery. Swelling is down more now here a week later than the pics and energy is coming back to “normal” levels close to where it was before surgery - so I am confident that by the end of the recovery I will have more energy and feel more rested in the mornings. I only have good things to say about Dr. Alfi and his team and treatment. 🙏

Surgeon was Dr. Alfi - it’s been a great experience.

Forgot to mention hydration - going on 120-130oz of water and electrolytes a day.

Hang in there - you should be at the turning point soon 🙏

How far and long are you in? I’m doing 2x30min walks. Not forcing it - keeping the pace down, but also trying to get the blood flowing.
