I have a 99 Subaru. The clear coat is about 1/3 gone and continuing to peel off. Rust is not a big concern in my area.
If I was to anything about I'd grab another hood in the same color from the junk yard. I know one of the local yards (https://www.picknpull.com) currently has a potential candidate I can pickup for $65. I've used the same yard to pickup various bits & pieces previously.

This has been an ongoing issue for her but it usually gets hushed up.

I've checked a few times since using them and they are always out. They used to have a listing for Pro as well but that is gone.
I used The Swap Club to replace my wife's AirPods about six months ago but since then they always seem sold out.

Grand Central Terminal in New York City.
I was there when it started.
Clean paper and cardboard are easily recyclable and worth money. I first figured this out over 30 years ago while taking commuter trains into NYC.
There were approximately one yard cubed wagons left on the platform to discard your already read newspapers for recycling. Local hustlers would often reassemble the papers and sell for half.
At some point locking tops eere put on so it was difficult to remove the papers. This was because the agency collecting the old newspaper was making money from it.
Fast forward. Some cities make it a crime to rummage through the recycling bins.
There is money there.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is being threatened with contempt of Congress for failing to supply documents for a GOP investigation into censorship of conservatives.
Need your location to figure out inspection.
They don't check lights in California so you would be fine.
You make many good points. I skimmed the article and thought it was a good idea for desert areas but honestly have no zero knowledge of desert landscaping.
I used to be on the fence about using gravel in a yard, but these ideas prove modern landscapers are using it in amazing ways
I thought the number was higher.
Many Mack NR stayed in NL once WW2 was over. This is one.
Een mooie Mack NR, een mooie vracht bomen op een mooie trailer, én een mooi verhaal. We kwamen het allemaal tegen op het Truckstar Festival.

American Brabant Mack history
A beautiful Mack NR, a beautiful load of trees on a beautiful trailer, and a beautiful story. We came across it all at the Truckstar Festival.
In principle, of course, the past is behind us. But not at the Truckstar Festival, where we encounter the beautiful yellow Mack NR Lanova Diesel of a very enthusiastic Willy Gaffert from Veghel between the classics and the Americans.
Willy would like to tell you something about the truck and everything around it. In earlier years, the company – then still in the hands of Willy's father Theo – also had such a Mack. “The truck here is a restoration project,” says Willy. “But the great thing is that our driver Ties, who used to drive the original Mack, is here with us. We also named this Mack after him”, says Willy, who calls Ties to take a photo.
[Picture text but picture is missing] Willy Gaffert (right) and driver Ties (left) after whom the truck is named: Tieske.
Load poplars
“At the age of seventeen, Ties was already driving the Mack,” continues Willy. “Initially as a co-driver, to load poplars in Brabant for the clog makers. Canadian poplars grow fast, the wood is very suitable for making clogs and it is now also widely used for the production of one-way pallets,” explains Willy, confirmed by Ties himself, who is a little less talkative with a nod and a big smile. looks like Willy.
“But Ties also regularly drove the truck to Luxembourg to load pine trees there,” says Willy. “Those were long journeys of twelve hours. To bring that history back to life, we bought this Mack NR some time ago and have been slowly refurbishing it. But it is a long-term project,” laughs Willy.
[Picture text] The red FTF in the background pulls the tree trailer home after the festival.
Anyway, the Mack looks great, and runs smoothly with some nice old-fashioned blue smoke. “Did you know that this is the first diesel engine that Mack developed himself?” Will asks. “It is a six-cylinder in-line engine. It delivers 131 horsepower. At least, that's what he delivered when it was new. It works with Lanova low-pressure injection and has a five-speed gearbox with high and low yaw. But you can't really use his five-layer. It can reach a top speed of 62 to 63 kilometers per hour.”
So the truck wouldn't quite keep up with today's traffic, especially loaded with such a respectable load of logs. “Here at the festival, the Mack is under the tree trailer, but we drive that tree dolly back home with that red FTF, and the Mack is on a low loader belonging to one of the guys here,” explains Willy.
[Picture text] The trailer dates from the sixties and was built in-house.
Tree trunk back on the trailer
"But stand still for a moment, then we hoist that log back onto the trailer, you can take a nice picture of it." That is certainly possible and we are happy to do that. But with the engine running at idle, the force with which the poplar trunk is winched upwards is not that great. Ties joins in, sends Willy into the cabin to give it a little throttle, and then operates the winch handle himself. As the log rounds the top of the two stanchions, it lands on top of the other logs with a thud and a small cloud of dust. The gentlemen then put a few chains around the cargo and the trees and the trailer are ready for the trip from Drenthe back to Brabant.
[Picture text] Accompanied by cozy old-fashioned blue smoke, the trunk slowly rolls up the outside of the stanchions via the ingenious cable system.
[Picture text] Ties comes from Dinther, near Veghel, and first worked in steel construction. However, he was soon hired by Willy's father Theo to start his car business.
A nice story, and with a bit of luck we will see Willy, Ties and Tieske again on the Mackdag on Sunday 12 October in Amsterdam . Incidentally, for those who may have doubts whether the Gaffert family business is keeping up with the times; click here to see which truck has recently been added to the fleet .

As drought-stricken Arizona bakes in searing heat, the Scottsdale City Council unanimously agreed this week to ban natural grass in front of future single-family homes in an effort to conserve water.
Spotted at Oakland Pick-N-Pull
Pick-N-Pull got some more Subarus this week so I took another trip.
It was very bright so I had a hard time inspecting this. I think it is all original paint. The bed had color matched bed liner and rear bumper was silver bed liner. Couldn't see inside well because the windows were tinted.
No Mow May and How I Learned I’m Allergic to Grass
A couple of weeks ago I detailed how I was letting my grass do whatever it wanted until I found the foxtails were taking over.
I took alergy pills for three days straight and was able to cut the grass and rake it without an allergy attack.
I'm slowly adding natives in between my indoor projects.

> I have really started to like Lemmy and love the fact that it's free and open source, but I wasn't feeling so home with the UI, so I found nice looking style from https://userstyles.world/style/10345/lemmy-world but I personally prefer dark theme so I adjusted some colours and made the radiuses and margins bigger. I thought that maybe someone will find this useful and hence I decided to post it here. I am not a professional programmer, just a guy who likes to tinker with computers so this style may not be perfect. Critique, feedback and suggestions are welcome.

No Mow May and How I Learned I'm Allergic to Grass
I've basically been letting the grass in my back yard grow all spring. Cut some paths through so my small dogs could easily navigate and small patch for my senior dog.
Then I saw the foxtails I thought I had killed were back. I started cutting the grass so I could get better access to the foxtails and my allergies went crazy. Instant runny nose, eyes burning, etc.
This has really dampened my enthusiasm. (/rant
My Reddit Account Keeps Getting Subscribed to Subs I Left
Had left dozens of subs a few days ago. I saw others saying they were re-subbed so I checked today. I was put back into subs I left MONTHS ago.
I fully expect the posts I deleted to reappear soon as well
