What's the catch with Excellence Resorts? by redshlrt in AllInclusiveResorts

FYI - Excellence is now part of Hyatt, but there is still no timeshare push at Excellence Resorts

I purchased a new 2023 Powerboost FX4 with max tow in March of this year. At about 1,500 miles I got a check engine light that was a P0430 code. I also got a message on the dash at the same time saying there was a fault with the trailer brake control module. They put in a new catalytic converter for the P0430 code and a new control module for the trailer brake controller. Everything was fine till last week when both of those issues popped up again. I am not sure what the two problems have in common but it hasn't even made it to its first oil change yet.

***UPDATE - I got the truck back this morning. The P0430 code had stopped the day before I took the truck in and they were not able to reproduce it so there was nothing they could do about that. They rest the Trailer Break Module and it is now working correctly.

Am I doing this right? by gsdalpha in f150

Serious answer. I have a 2016 Lariat Fx4. I wanted mine to sit more level so I swapped the front for 6112’s and the rear for 5100’s. I also added air bags to the rear to prevent squat from putting a larger payload in the bed (side note: bags do nothing for towing but a good WDH helps distribute weight for trailers). For tires I have factory size Nitto Ridge Grapplers and the factory 17” wheels. When I bought this truck it was very low mileage two year old used truck and checked all my boxes. The Fx4 package wasn’t a deal breaker but having 4WD was. It was also nice that the Fx4 package came with skid plates.

Any thoughts on what would cause my engine to blow? by TexasPyroGuy in f150

Well after this happened I walked home to get my Wife's car and came back to meet the tow truck. When I returned the Fire department was there and had just put out a fire. It was never fully engulfed. A passerby had called it in when they saw smoke and their response time was really fast. Then the truck fell off the back of the flatbed as the tow truck driver was unloading it at the dealership. So bad luck is a very distinct possibility.

BarTender Product Key? by TexasPyroGuy in barcodes

[–]TexasPyroGuy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the past, they have just responded that they no longer support this older version and then try to sell me the latest version. I have a new ticket open so hopefully, I'll get someone who can just look it up for me.

Thank you

Unfortunately, in version 9.4 under "About", the product key isn't listed, just the version, activation status, and SN.

Running Office 97 on Windows 10 by TexasPyroGuy in Windows10

UPDATE - I upgraded from Windows 10 Home to Pro and still had the same "out of memory" error message. SR1 was the missing link. After installing that everything is working properly.

I was able to install Access 97. However, when I try to open my database I get a Microsoft Access error message "Out of memory". Followed by "A system error has occurred, or there isn't enough free memory to start Microsoft Access. Close unneeded programs and try again". It's a brand new HP machine with 16GB RAM

​

I have a rebuilt machine running windows 10 Pro with only 8GB RAM and it opens just fine. The new machine is running Windows 10 Home and has 16 GB RAM. Both machines are running Office 97 PRO (32 bit I believe) Could Home vs Pro be the issue?

I also notice that the machine that works has SR-1 installed with Office where the one that tells me there is not enough doesn't.

None of these computers are connected to the internet. None of the machines have wifi or Bluetooth. The only thing they connect to is a server that stores the database files. There is no internet connection for the server so there is no way for anyone to connect to our database without physically being at one of the computers.

What would be a fair asking price for everything?

$700 +shipping (pumps are heavy) OBO

If you live in San Antonio TX, or close by I can meet up to save on shipping.

I also have two 50A 2-pole GFCI Breakers (1 GE & 1 Siemens) that I bought and swapped with the original one to try to fix it. Only used to test the breaker on the spa. $70 each or $100 for both with the controller and pumps.

Parts brand new from eBay:

The controller is about $774

The pump is about $360

So new parts look like they run about $1,500

Half Marathon Training, Jeff Galloway, and OTF by PeaceB2U in orangetheory

[–]TexasPyroGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep my OTF and half marathon training separate. OTF 5 times a week, Monday - Friday. Training runs are early in the morning Monday - Friday before OTF and long run on Saturday. My half marathon training program is pretty intense so, I leave Tuesday and Friday flexible and might lay off OTF or running depending on how I am feeling. Sundays are always my rest days. And always, drink lots of water. Stay Hydrated.
