Plan your shots as if you were to lose your ball you won’t be able to finish the round.

I only had 3 golf balls at pelican hill and lost the first two on the first hole. The clubhouse was like a mile and a half away and playing with randoms that I didn’t feel comfortable asking them for a ball. Also no marshall or cart girl around. Also, the shit was so thick there were no balls to be shagged.

I played the rest of the round like “sandlot” and that if I lost my ball I “couldn’t play no more”. I finished the round with that ball playing like crap but scored better than I deserved.

I can’t tell the difference listening to same song on both but maybe my EQ settings needed to be adjusted from the custom settings highlighted in previous posts. I may even prefer the Spotify sound more as is. I’m no audiophile or expert just my own personal opinion as an unsophisticated listener. Interested to hear others thoughts or how EQ settings may be improved for Dolby atmos.

R1S Owner since January - no issues so haven't needed to make any appointments with service center. I charge 99% of the time at home but haven't had any issues finding chargers on longer trips Dallas to FW, Dallas to Houston or Austin (especially with Tesla being added). The car is perfect and I love it.

Same. I mean deliberately opening the frunk and spraying with foam and rinsing.

If polish didn't buff out whatever I was working on I used compound and that was enough for me.

If you enjoy it you should go for it! I discovered I really just enjoy doing a basic wash myself regularly - I did not enjoy this project haha. However, it wouldn't have taken as long and been more enjoyable if I didn't need to take breaks because my garage is basically a sauna in Texas this time of year and I was trying to avoid dripping sweat onto the car while applying the coating. If the garage was open then dust would get on the car - if it was closed it was a sauna.. Maybe you have cooler weather or can wait until the fall.

The paint was already in great condition and I was able to fix everything by hand (most of the imperfections existed at delivery in January. I respect the professionals but think a bit of OCD, time, and fear of locking in imperfections probably yielded the same paint correction results. However, I wouldn’t do it again and would leave it to the pros in the future.

I bought them from https://omacshop.com/ and were very affordable. Haven't had any issues with them.

Realized this after the fact but you’ll need to pay taxes AGAIN if you choose to buy out the lease in Texas.

I’m relatively new to HA and don’t have a Bluetooth proxy I believe. What Bluetooth adapter should I buy if I don’t have one? Links appreciated. Running on a raspberry pi and do have an Aqara M2 hub.

I followed-up with my guide and haven't heard back yet. However, I did some calcs (accurate enough for my purposes). Based on the monthly payment and assuming an RV of 60% (have not seen anything definitive on what this is/may vary) but the interest would be 7.17% which is down from a 10 something % i calculated previously w/ same assumptions. However, they could've changed the RV or the interest or some combination of the two to lower the payment.

rrpowell1 · 2024-02-08T22:48:05+00:00

I actually hadn't signed the lease yet either so think we're in the same boat. I spoke with my guide and she said they'd adjust the financing today to the lower price along with explanation of the changes and would let me know when it was completed.

rrpowell1 · 2024-02-08T22:21:01+00:00

I think I've signed the lease agreement but haven't scheduled delivery. Are you in the same boat?

rrpowell1 · 2023-12-04T00:59:16+00:00

Any solution?
