I'm surprised that both Bill and Gary's screens are not 42" flatscreens tapped into their laptops via HDMI with wireless keyboard/mouse and bluetooth capability for audio within 200 ft.

I can use my smart TV to browse the web, but that it is SLOW typing and isn't worth it. Instead I use my iPhone, iPad, this laptop w/a 4K screen, or the shop 'puter with 2 large monitors.

I did forget the watch!

I do like my Apple Watch, and mostly for just two things. First, I have the phone permanently set to Silent and the watch to Vibrate, and I never have to remember to turn the phone off going into church or on leaving. Or to the hospital when visiting people - both of which I do frequently.

Second, some vehicles didn't come with Bluetooth hands free and seem to have no place to put a phone. . So, the phone stays in my pocket. And, with its rubbery Lifeproof case, it is extremely difficult to get out while driving - as I experienced yesterday when Scott called about his '79 while I was driving Rusty. But the watch handled that nicely.

Ok Gary, thanks for asking. It is 17 degrees out, and all this info you all are providing is making waiting for spring difficult. Besides being a 53 yr old project truck newbie, I am putting the final touches on a garage addition to house/repair my 86 Lariat XLT. Electrician by trade and work at our local VA, till a not soon enough retirement.
Now this part will make most cringe, after my research and long drives in the local area, I ended up buying this truck last month from NC. Everything here is rusted, and if not it would be at a premeium price, so as scary as it was I got it on eBay. It was shipped up and I'm just learning, thanks to FTE, what I really have here. Let's just say I'd like to think I will have a rust free truck that is at a stage of easily repaired state, which was my whole goal of going down the out of state purchase. I want a daily driver, (not in the winter) that I can enjoy, going for mostly original with small creatures of comfort.
I'm welcome to all input and ideas, especially those that give reason,as that's is interesting to me to learn how and why people come to their decisions.
Thanks for listening

Hey, I understand buying from another location. It is amazing to me how badly deteriorated vehicles are in some areas and not in others. And, oddly enough, where they aren't deteriorated they seem to be less expensive. So, it just makes sense to "import".

But, you have several threads running re your truck, and it is hard to get an overall view of it. So, you could either start an overall thread and include pics there, or go to your User Control Panel (User CP in the upper left) and then choose Pictures & Albums in the left column, and start an album or two. Then give us the link to your album. (However, my experience with albums isn't fun as after several pics it'll go to a second page, and there's no way to move pics between pages. Further, when you add pics it isn't consistent with where it puts them with respect to previous pics. So, there's no way to keep things in order.)
