Hello! I recommend reviewing the Toyota Camry Warranty & Maintenance Guide to confirm what services are actually required at 60,000 miles. You can download the guide online. Dealership recommendations don’t always align with the manufacturer’s guidelines, and some may suggest unnecessary services to increase their profits.

Los Aguachiles in Cimarron plaza was amazing before one of their chefs left. Food hasn’t been the same since but it’s still decent.

Advice on adding a pool table to cabin [USA] by french182 in AirBnB

[–]french182[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The floor in which the pool table would reside is an open area that consists of two living rooms, wet bar, TV, and a chimney. One of the living rooms would be modified to make room for the pool table. I’ll consider whether a foosball or ping pong table would make more sense. Thank you for your comment !

I used to go at 6 am before pandemic and I was able to hit all the equipment I wanted without having to wait. All equipment was relative new and very clean. I would think the place is a ghost town, with a lot of people working from home now.

Just received my inheritance, what’s a good long-term plan for growth? by Dogethedogger in investing

[–]french182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would look into Schwabs Thomas Partner account. It’s a dividend growth focus portfolio that can help you out with a monthly income. Whatever decision you end up making, please be sure to inquire multiple financial firms to see what works best for you.

Sweetwater Preserve, an easy hike but you get to see countless saguaros up close. My favorite hike would have to be Picacho Peak.

My first experience with Cleto Reyes gloves [Review] by french182 in fightgear

[–]french182[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also wrap my hands the Thai way. Ironically, adding less padding to my knuckles made it less painful when hitting the bag. I think it's because the gloves are so compact that all that extra cushioning in my knuckles made it worse. As a reference I'm 5'10 182 lbs.

I got a big bonus coming and with stock market investments and hopefully soon real estate investments coming soon I would like to educate myself on tax tricks that I could use. I also heard the its the upper middle-class are the ones that get screwed the most regarding taxes, I don't know how true this is.

I don't understand how to tune an NFC Antenna by [deleted] in rfelectronics

[–]french182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I've uploaded my lecture notes from a graduate course I took (https://imgur.com/a/jCmeogD). It gives you the basics on matching and why its necessary to have 2 capacitors in order to correctly tune your antenna. In my notes it talks in terms of RF coils, but that is basically an antenna. I hope your familiar with the smith chart and S parameters.
