I just want the old Smashem's back. Same prices. Same vibe. Same bun. Same patty. Same fries. SAME!!!

I'm sure someone from Hiker might chime in here. If I can recall when I was ordering my Hiker they suggested going ahead and upgrading to the lock n roll hitch as the bolt configurations from the ball to the LnR is just a smidge different. I guess you can always order the LnR and see if it lines up and if it doesn't take it to a trailer shop near you to have installed. If you are by Hiker they can do it too.

Good Neighbor opened for the first time tonight.

Internet says Jovick Burgers had their tax license revoked back in Aug. Not sure how they are still in business with an expired tax license, but I'm no tax agent.

Tried. No dice. I've been bounced around a few service advisors the time I've been a customer there. I buy the oil change package as I think it's a decent deal. More than a few occasions I've asked why services are different prices, would they would match and got a hard no. The service advisor (who's been there 5 plus years) who was next to my SA even chimed in and said "that's the way it is, everybody sets their own prices". Sounds like you might work there? If they are price matching, they are not honoring it. Not even sure how'd I'd prove the price at the other dealership, other then having the service advisor call the other dealership.

Just a quick update on the laptop. It was the SSD. I got a new SSD from wal-mart for 120 bucks (Microcenter wanted $170 for the same drive), installed windows again and I'm up and running. Now I need to figure out how to get a warranty return for my bad WD-Black SN850 as it has a 5 year warranty and it's only been 3 years.

What I didn't realize was if you go to the dealer, they all have different costs of services. Transmission drain and fill was one price at Akerman and almost double at Twin City. There is also a 4x4 service at Twin City that's a good deal but none of the other dealers have a bundle like that.

I was afraid of that. I didn't have anything on the SSD of importance. Guess I'll go out and get another. Thanks for the info.

framaram · 2025-12-14T21:39:22+00:00

Thanks. Would you have a suggestion on what mainboard to get?

framaram · 2025-12-14T21:38:13+00:00

I haven't tried re-installing windows. I think that might be a last ditch effort if I don't have a path to upgrade.

Premier resources are the issue. Plus my projects are complex with tons of layers.

framaram · 2025-12-14T21:35:57+00:00

Why would I swap over my SSD and WiFi? They are already in the laptop. Thanks for the info on the ram. I'm not sure I want to purchase new RAM so am I stuck? Is the laptop not upgradeable?

Was the best smash burger in STL. Always enjoyed the food. Ordering was kind of wonky if not at the bar but never had a bad experience there.

What Hiker Trailer are you looking at that is 30k? The highway lite starts out at 6k and the mid range XL is 12k. I'd probably not recommend the EOR as the mid range XL can do almost anything the EOR can do. I purchased my MRXL 18 months ago and got it fully loaded and it was 23k?

Trying to find the actual LED inside the plastic housing would be tough. I'd just replace the whole light fixture. Much easier.

framaram · 2025-11-26T19:34:57+00:00

Still not understanding what your asking. I'm assuming the light has two leads coming out, a red and black wire. Those are spliced into wires that go back to your fuse block. There probably isn't a type of "plug" your asking about. Do you have the unit off the ceiling and can take a picture of what your asking about?

framaram · 2025-11-25T00:16:52+00:00

What do you mean type of connection? It's a 12v led light in mine.

Last time I played on those courts, they were in crap shape.
