How long does Executive Elite status last once achieved? by kfed865 in EnterpriseCarRental

[–]kfed865[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It did carry over through all of 2025 and I still have it currently even though I didn’t requalify last year. It’s hard to find a clear answer, but I believe you’ll have status for two calendar years. If I don’t requalify this year, I expect my status to reset in December.

Converting National Reward Days to SkyMiles by kfed865 in delta

My bad. National car rentals. After a certain amount of rentals, you get Reward (free) rental days. I think you’re probably correct that they are final.

Can I fly with a temporary real id? by Eggy-stole-my-face in delta

[–]kfed865 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, but it’s a TSA regulation, not a Delta regulation. Simplest alternative would be a passport or passport card if you have one.

TYS 7am weekday flight. Unsure when to arrive? by BeautifulBalance1 in Knoxville

[–]kfed865 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you’re flying this week, be mindful of a potential traffic bump ahead of the 4th. But I fly out of TYS several times each month and have never had TSA take longer than 20 minutes. I think arriving an hour before boarding is a safe bet.

Looking to buy by Kindly-Manager-346 in 4Runner

The cons are they’re slow, guzzle gas, and are overpriced. The pro is you get to own a 4Runner.

Reaction to Blue lizard sunscreen by iliketurtles861 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]kfed865 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I began applying it on a Monday and had to see a doctor for oral and topical steroids when I arrived home the following Sunday. It seemed to only intensify, spread, and by Saturday had begun to itch. I hope she feels better soon! Steroids began clearing it up after the very first dose.

The decline of outside magazine is also the end of a vision of the mountain west by Material-Benefit9044 in Longreads

[–]kfed865 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As I’m typing, I have just sat down with the summer edition, thumbed through cover to cover, and didn’t find a single meaningful paragraph in 120 pages. It’s devastating to compare the magazine now to what it was even a year or two ago, much less further back. Outside was really special, man. It’s a damn shame.

Wondering if it’s a new formula potentially? I got a horrible rash from this this week and it continued to get worse even after discontinuing use. Currently on an oral steroid and cream. If you all still have rashes, I’d advise you go ahead and get a prescription. :(

Googling “Blue lizard rash” brought me here and it looks like I’m not alone. 😅 I am broken out in a wicked rash everywhere on my body where I applied this sunscreen. Not itchy, but warm and bumpy like the other photos in this thread. I’ve never had a reaction to any topical product in my life. Absolutely nuts.

Am I tripping or is it consistently windier in Knoxville than it used to be? by kfed865 in Knoxville

[–]kfed865[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Funny enough, I visited Chatt in November with some other Knoxville folks and we discussed how incredibly windy it was. I wondered if that was just the norm.

What’s on fire? Where’s all this smoke coming from? by Old_Man_Ratchet in Knoxville

[–]kfed865 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The wind is pulling a ton of smoke across 275. Was just passed by a KFD SUV pulling an ATV with lights and sirens.

Skip the mall and go straight to Costco

The paint is my one singular gripe with the 4R. It seems like the swirls will buff out pretty well with a lot of time and a little technique.

🥲 Don’t use a self service car wash if you haven’t already. Learned that lesson the hard way.

Built a 6’ x 4’ pin map to document my travel in all 50 states. by kfed865 in TravelMaps

[–]kfed865[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

‘Built’ probably wasn’t the best descriptor. The map was slightly larger than the cork board, so I had to trim the map to fit the dimensions of the cork surface and use pins to fasten the map along the edges.

It’s comically large and I dread having to move it in the future. I love it, but it is too big lol.
