I had not heard about any of them passing away. In 1974 the Cleveland stadium had the World Series of Rock. I got to see CSNY along with Santana and a couple other bands. Over 80,000 attended. Another time I went to a Jefferson Starship concert and Jeff Beck was the backup band. At the time I was not familiar with Beck. He was great. Although JS played great I enjoyed Beck even more that night.

Sharon drives most of the time. She likes the auto stop/start feature. When I drive I usually don't engage it by pushing harder on the brake. Not that I don't like it. We both forgot about brake hold feature. Sharon used to use it often. Now that you mentioned it, maybe we will remember to use it again. So many options to keep up with.

Yes, but the outside mirrors are manual too! I usually don't realize they are not properly aligned until after I am driving down the road. I agree with the Blind Spot. Has helped out more than once. Another thing that helps is the auto brake system. We really didn't think about how long it was until we got it home to park it in the garage. When we pull in we slowly pull forward until it brakes. Gives a little more room to walk around the back.

Since retiring 5 years ago I drive my Ford Ranger very little. It sits outside so no way to charge it but the battery is still good. I drove it to my appointment yesterday in the rain. I had to turn the key to start it, turn on the headlights, the wipers didn't automatically turn on when rain hit the windshield, no way to heat the seats, I had to shift the gears and there was no back up camera. On the good side lane assist didn't beep and the truck didn't turn off at the stop light! Then I had to park, there was no surrounding cameras to help me park! A lot of difference in a basic 1996 truck and today's cars.

When we got our car last year we didn't have much of a choice. We got the Highlander Platinum. I normally don't get extras I don't need, just one more thing to break. No battery problems yet. We have the auto stop. Hasn't caused any problems yet but we are not in an area where we have to stop often.

Allure of the Seas Question
Ozark_Kid replied to first_timer's topic in Royal Caribbean International
We will be joining you this Sunday on Allure . Last October we had an OVB on Allure. Here is what was in our room. The phone charger was a little outdated 😂 This is the plugs on the desk. I used a plug-in behind the side of the bed to use my phone charger. So to answer your question, no, they have not upgraded their charging system. -
Should I Sail on Allure or Harmony?
Ozark_Kid replied to CruiseLoverFromNorCal's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Another difference is the specialty restaurants offered. Harmony has Jamie's, which we have had enough of, Allure has Giovanni's which we plan to eat at twice next week. Harmony has Wonderland which we enjoyed. Allure has Samba Grill which is good. With that said you should enjoy them both. I do miss the water slides when on the Allure. -
I have never measured the opening but I would say at least 1 1/2 feet. The crew open them all up to walk through when they are cleaning.

How will we meet up? I thought that you would organize a 🎈 balloon 💧 drop and 🎉 poppers when we walked on! 😂 @molly361 Ellen made me find her when we were on Harmony together. Our boarding time is 10am and we plan to board as soon as we can. If we were cruising out of anywhere but Galveston you would know it's us when you heard someone saying y'all. If we can't meet at boarding we can post here or on the Live. After boarding we will be making dinner reservations and do the muster. And then I will soon need to get my traditional ice-cream cone by the pool! 😂 The Live sounds great. Perfect time. I usually don't start one until we are on our way so start whenever you want. We "plan" to fly out early Saturday. I think it was @John&LaLathat suggested putting an emoji at the start of the title to make it easy to spot. Like.... 🛳 Live from Allure 1/22 to 1/29. Might want to post the itinerary. Some current things people want to know is the new menus, how the new free chat works and some how Starlink is working. I want to know if you can order 2 main meals on Lobster night. Sharon doesn't eat Lobster so she wants to order 2 mains so she can give me an extra tail. Our friends here just want to know we are having a fun cruise.... Oh, and pics of our feet. Thanks for wanting to start the live and looking forward to meeting you!

Thanks. I hope all I have to do is reboot after the replacement. I am reading it is that easy with RAID 5. We'll see. I'll replace it with another WD Red 3tb. I am seeing one for $58. I don't remember how much it was 10 years ago but I believe it was much more than that. I was considering getting a newer Nas for reliability then realized if this one falls I can just pull the disk and will be good. One nice thing I like about a Nas is that I can access it away from home.
