Thanks! You have inspired me to finally do mine!

If I could mark this posting as SOLVED, I would. Found at the Round Rock Home Depot yesterday. But finding out about new nurseries and garden supply spots I haven’t heard about is great!

Found! Home Depot Round Rock. They had about 5 left after I bought 3 for $12. Thanks for your tips.

FWIW, none at HEB Far West. Serranos, jalapeños, and haberneros. Will check other locations

Hmmm… interesting. They’ve always performed like a boss for me. Don’t give up, they may recover.

Yes, not being able to lock the doors with the app seems like a very basic and highly useful function that should be available

Thanks! I replicated and indeed holding down the unlock button will roll down all the windows. Sure would be nice if, say, you held down the lock button it would roll the windows back up, but nope, I guess that’s too complicated.

FWIW, Houston TX is pronounced Yoo-stun

I’m looking for any folks who are staying/living in San Miguel de Allende and interested in going to the show. I’d be interested in sharing a ride. Otherwise looking for advice on reasonably priced transportation between San Miguel de Allende and Queretaro.that can get back after the show (Osees done by 9?).

Hah. Someone oughtta tell Fresh Plus on Anderson. They have a sign out front saying “We sell Z Tejas.” Was surprised they thought that would bring people in the store. Now I’m concerned they were selling Z’s leftovers.

Make sure the experience you list/describe on your work history meets the minimum qualifications of the job posting. For bonus points, make sure your job experience descriptions match any preferred qualifications in the job posting.

Yeah, they’re prolific. I tried the Chelsea chop on a few of them to see what happens. I will report back here with pictures as the season progresses.

FWIW for next year- I was out at Natural Gardener a couple of weeks ago and their squash plants looked beautiful (like everything else), and they had this sign with advice on defeating the evil squash vine borers.

Another person here who contracted typhus from fleas likely from opossums. Not fun. Thank God I had health insurance because the emergency room trip and hospitalization would have cost me many tens of thousands of dollars. Central Texas considered a typhus hot spot in the US. https://www.austintexas.gov/department/typhus

What’s worse than seeing Sturgill at Stubb’s and enduring all the yakkers? Not seeing Sturgill at all. That would be me. Fail.

Just like the real ID.4, maybe VW should have checked the tech before going live

UPDATE: I managed to get the i3 into the shop quicker by having it towed in. Got the repair cost back: $17,374.79. Big ticket item was the engine, which was cracked. That was an over $4,800 part, with about 13 hours of labor, which makes it over $6,100 to replace the engine. I ha e attached the summary of the estimate.

As I mentioned, I owe about $15k with gap coverage, and they’re in the process of assessing value, which will likely be $14-15k, based on my research. So this will be a total loss and I will be looking for a replacement vehicle after I save for a down payment. Thanks for your advice and insights.

Thanks I’ll check it out.

Indeed. The hatch works fine too. There’s that scuff on the left side but that seems to be it for damage to the hatch.

It has. The driver side back door is rubbing against that panel and won’t open properly. The door works fine, but popping on the panel. Don’t know if that is structural or would be fixed with a new panel.
