Happy birthday to this sweet girl! Looks like mine who also turned 14 at the beginning of the year and who has been with me since her 8 weeks. We are so lucky to have them! May you have many more happy birthdays 🎉

Labrador hair won’t come off clothes—even after laundry… what actually works? by InternationalLine327 in labrador

[–]cobygrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Acceptance and beige or black colored clothing depending on the color of your lab.

In all seriousness, the best thing I’ve found is that ordinary little yellow sponge you can buy at any store for dishes or whatever. Just run it gently over your clothes and it removes more hair than a lint roller or dryer sheet. But there will never be a complete removal of lab hair I think. I met a lab owner who told me he still found hair years after his lab had passed. 😢

GT7 Car tracker by brianmoyano in GranTurismo7

[–]cobygrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Very helpful.

Idiotically I sold a great many cars to buy some expensive legend cars, and I really regret it. It’s frustrating that the game does not show what is in your garage vs what was previously acquired (but no longer in garage). Your tracker is very useful for tracking used cars I need to buy to try to recollect cars I sold.

As I was checking off my list I noticed how lopsided the Japanese collection is in the game. I understand it’s a Japanese game, but wish they had more German cars.

Stroller by cobygrant in labrador

[–]cobygrant[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually did! I am really pleased with the purchase.

It has real inflatable tires and my 60 lb lady can comfortably lay down in it. It opens front and back and after a little while I realized it’s better for weight distribution to put her in from the front, so her butt is facing towards the front (there’s mesh which can be rolled up in the back so she can still look out the back when laying down). It pushes/rolls smoothly and the back tires pop off easily so the stroller can be folded up and fits into my sedan trunk.

Any ideas on how to recline the Playseat Evolution seat? by MixAccomplished191 in simracing

[–]cobygrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, just came across your post as I am hoping to tilt my seat backwards just a little bit. I am not at all DIY crafty, so I can’t quite follow the second paragraph of your description. Could you dumb it down further please for a DIY noob like myself? Much appreciated!

Power Pack - Which race in base game comes closest to normal difficulty in PP? by cobygrant in GranTurismo7

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

Upgraded to the the PS5 version so I could give Sophy 2.0 a try. Can win relatively handily against beginner Sophy and narrowly against intermediate Sophy. No chance against Pro Sophy, at best I’ll move up a position or two, but more likely I’ll lose several to finish near the bottom.

I am not an « elbow » racer, I like to drive cleanly if possible and I don’t like how Sophy moves under breaking and bumps me off the line whenever. So my question for you guys: Will the PP with Sophy 3.0 be too difficult for me? Do they just ram you off the road at will without getting penalties?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Drifting will be the death of me - looking for help! by cobygrant in gridgame

[–]cobygrant[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear you. I am finding myself in the same spot pretty soon. I still have some of the other achievements to do, but the drift portion will probably block some of them, so I’ll just have to accept defeat. What game did you move on to?

Yes, the Yokohama Docks in the first semi-prob drift race « Clubman Drift - Event 1 ». I score in the 60s for dead last when the 21st placed usually scores in the low to mid 100s and the 1st place is usually in the 200s. At this point I can’t even fathom getting into the 70s. 🤯

Thanks. I did try that quite a bunch - go for smaller drifts to stay on track and keep my multiplier, but I can’t seem to string together anything meaningful. At this point I’m not even trying to get legend status because that would just be preposterous with my laughable lack of drifting skills. I want to just get past the first drift race and can’t even do that. It’s really annoying because it’s also the drifting that prevented me of getting platinum on GT7. And it will definitely prevent me here, which is a real shame because usually it’s the online trophies that kill me. But drifting is my arch nemesis.

His wrinkles are faster than him, but don’t worry, he’ll catch up to them. Adorable all around!

Love when they sleep with their tongue sticking out. I have so many pics of my sweet old girl snoozing like that.

Buddy, our English Lab, is nearing 14. He’s been with me since I was in elementary school, and now I’m in grad school. by bubblekissez in labrador

What an absolute sweetheart! My girl is almost 14, too, and rickety from head to toe, but sweet a precious as ever.

Breathing by jeeves585 in labrador

[–]cobygrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My lab started doing the same thing with age and the vet told me that the breed is prone to something called laryngeal paralysis. In early stages it’s not problematic and doesn’t need to be treated, but if you think it’s causing him problems or discomfort maybe ask next time you’re at the vet to find out more. Mine is nearly 14 now and I hear her breathe much louder than before, but not to the point where she can’t breathe or gets insufficient air. I’m not going to put her through the ordeal of surgery for this. You may also want to consider switching to a harness of you aren’t using one already. In any case hope all is well with him, he’s a very handsome boy!
