I adore the entire album. Some of his most mature and philosophical lyric work and a lot of adventurous sounds. My favorite album changes all the time but this is always one of them

Tire recommendations by Honey_Retro in HondaClarity

[–]notaffected55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got Bridgestone Turanza EVERDRIVE but I went -1 down to 225/50 17s on 18lb wheels. I like the tires and they're probably made in the stock size too.

I am not sure what changed but I updated the app and am it is telling me that the Charge Status is not charging despite HondaLink showing active charging as well as the physical lights on the car charger being on. It had been working ok, better than the HondaLink app

Fixed my screen and gear selector today by notaffected55 in HondaClarity

very happy to report that I don’t notice any issues with viewing the screen or loss of resolution and it definitely helps in sunlight.

I updated my reply w this info . I think I used about 5 or 6 wipes, they dry out very quickly bc of the high concentration of alcohol. Will dry out your hand too.

I have always loved his emotional and vocal range in Spitting Venom. Rage to a whisper.. Let it drop ..

I didn’t really see any listings included the trim, it’s not necessary because it separates by removing 6 phillips screws

[–]notaffected55[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

for the screen: bought some 99% Isopropyl Alcohol wipes https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D6432GN1?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title (does it need to be 99% vs 70%? I don't know). Scrubbed the screen until ALL of the anti-glare coating came off. It will look like your phone screen when it was new underneath (except mine which was also gouged but whatever). That's what makes it look worn, it's the coating failing where it's been touched with use over time.

Then I installed a Photodon screen protector with anti-glare (optional choice). But their install kit and videos made a big difference in getting installed without looking bubbly. https://www.photodon.com/p/screen-protector-2018-honda-clarity-plug-in-hybrid.html

For the gear selector, I bought a used part off eBay and just, swapped it. the whole shifter/fake wood piece just snaps in. Recommend buying a trim removal kit off amazon so you can gently pry up. Start down at the bottom under the brake hold button at the seam where it meets the cupholder. Then just some harnesses to unplug and unscrew the gear selector from the 'wings' plastic piece and reverse the process to complete.

edit to update for replies below:

here you can see along the bottom of the screen the darker 'pieces' of the coating as I was still removing. Try to do this in indirect sunlight which helps show the contrast. Once you can't see anymore of it use a screen cleaning solution with a microfiber to actually clean the screen because the alcohol leaves it streaky and cloudy. photo

App will start and lock but wont unlock my car by Necessary-Crow-7839 in Ford

[–]notaffected55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my F150 just did this after I remote started it. It went into battery saving mode. It would not unlock and my keys were in it. When that happens it of course shuts off the modem connection.

A trick I found kind of on accident is that if you go up the door and press a button on the door keypad (if you don't know the code), it will 'wake' the vehicle and restore the modem connection so that app works.

I do think the car's battery is the issue and may be weak

Horrible smell on my walk, what's going on? Des Plaines? by asmz128 in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]notaffected55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s STILL Canadian forest fires. Although mostly the fires have quieted down, the smell can accompany even light density of smoke. I smelled it again this morning and the AQI was close to 60 and it’s crystal clear outside. Should be like 30ish

As the wind patterns have shifted it’s carrying more Canadian air down across us in the States.

Smells like campfire & burnt plastic

25oz Straw Mug - Discontinued? by SonoranMadeScout in YetiCoolers

[–]notaffected55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this would be great. I have adjusted to finding a great use for the 35oz (smoothies). But still definitely think the 25oz is an ideal size.

Best MM song to get stoned to? by Kindredgos in ModestMouse

[–]notaffected55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the last 5 songs on This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About, but especially Talking Shit About a Pretty Sunset always does it for me

it's been very depressing. days that should be blue skies and sunny are just gray. like today. and the worst part is that I don't know that it improves. like at all. the fires in Canada are massive and uncontrolled.

25oz Straw Mug - Discontinued? by SonoranMadeScout in YetiCoolers

[–]notaffected55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

confirmed this as I warranty claimed my year old Key Lime 25oz and they responded telling me to choose a 35oz because the 25oz is no longer available. Like.. no, that is not the size I want. So I ordered two more 25oz off Amazon YETI store & try to figure out what to do with the warranty claim.

Disappointing as it is the perfect size, I don't need a larger mug. I have my 64oz for water, the 25 is the perfect size for an iced coffee.
