I was listening to Classic Rewind and Dangerous Darren was on, covering for Mark Goodman. Maybe I'm the asshole but are there really people out there who enjoy the DJs like him, Tommy London and others who seem fascinated by the sound of their own voice, taking time between songs to tell us today is Aluminum Foil Day, celebrity birthdays and other useless flotsam and jetsom?
I have a 2022 Honda HRV AWD that I bought used. Currently has about 89,000 miles. Automatic transmission. It has developed a rattling noise that I can hear and feel through the floorboards. It seems most prevalent when the engine is cold: Leaving for work/leaving for home. Most noticeable when applying power and driving between 10-30 mph. At my last oil change at the dealership I mentioned it. The service advisor and tech rode in it and said they neither heard nor felt anything abnormal. I thought it was just me but you know when something doesn't sound or feel right. It has been nagging me enough to want another opinion.
Any ideas what this could be?
I have a '22 AWD that I bought used a few years ago. Currently has about 89,000 miles. Over the past few months it has developed a rattle that I can hear and feel. This seems most prevalent when the vehicle is cold (as cold as it gets in SWFL): When I leave for work in the morning and when I leave for home in the afternoon. It happens when I am applying power and usually between 10-30 mph. At my last oil change at the dealership I mentioned it. The service advisor and a tech both rode in it and said they didn't hear or feel anything wrong and they also said everything underneath was snug (heat shield, exhaust, etc).
Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas what it could be? I'm thinking about taking it to the dealer and leaving it overnight so they can hear it cold. Fortunately I have a warranty but I hope I don't need it!
Harold Brown the founding member and drummer of War talking about how this song came to be:
“Steve wanted first to see what we could do. So for about a year we just kept going in and out of studios. And then one day we were up in San Francisco, just playing and stuff. Lonnie (Jordan, War keyboard player) came in acting all drunk and stuff and out. They had a bottle of wine, and some of that wine got spilled in the console. Lee (Oskar, War harmonica player) says he felt that the song didn’t have anything to do with the wine going into the console, but all I know is after that they moved out of the A studio, they moved us into the B studio, and then we were playing a Latin thing, and even if Eric had been writing ‘Spill The Wine’ all along, and writing the concepts, that’s when it all came together. I think that Eric was already working on an idea about leaking gnomes waking up in a grassy field, and then when the wine inadvertently got knocked over, whether it was part of the song or not, it all just came together right at that moment.”
Does anyone know the best method for removing and reinstalling the carpeted area shown here?
I have the IMDB app and when I watch a movie or TV show I enjoy looking up the actors, seeing what they've been in, reading the bios and trivia. Many times when I explore an actor's credits I see that they appeared in or starred in the golden age of the TV movie: The 70s and 80s. Networks used to be more ambitious then. They made TV movies about *everything*.
It seems like the majority of those productions have slipped through the cracks of time. They weren't "important" enough to warrant a video release on their own or to be available for streaming now. That's a shame. There were some great movies, with big stars and great performances, that exist only in the memories of those who watched them when they aired.
"Jazz" is one of my favorite albums, so many great songs, but one thing that has always bugged me about it is the drum sound. For a band that far into their career, coming off of self producing their previous album and with Roy Thomas Baker behind the desk everything should have lined up perfectly.
Maybe it was a conscious artistic decision. Maybe other factors were at play. Foreigner brought Baker in around this time to produce "Head Games". Lou Gramm has since said that they didn't feel that Baker was on his "A Game" at the time and they came away feeling that album was under produced. Gramm speculates that Baker was drinking quite a bit and going through marital problems.
I saw or read an interview that Roger gave in the early 80s, talking about working with Mack. He told a story about going to a club in Munich that had a great sound system (Sugar Shack?) and when their songs were played they were appalled at how they sounded. They thought they sounded good at the time. Since their last studio album before Munich was "Jazz" I have always wondered if that was what was on the turntable.
I was listening to "Classic Rewind" the other day and they played "Let's Go" by The Cars and mentioned that it came out in 1979 and was produced by Roy Thomas Baker. In my opinion this is the drum sound Jazz needed.
I came to The Godfather films and novel after the release of Part III so I was influenced by some bad reviews of the third film; ergo, I never saw it.
One thing I always wondered about was the fallout from Fredo's assassination. Connie, for instance. If she lost it over Carlo's death (no great loss), she *had* to have gone berserk over Fredo's. Especially after her impassioned plea on his behalf at their mother's funeral. I imagine it was passed off as an accidental drowning or heart attack but as Michael said did he think that would fool a Corleone?
Is this addressed in Part III?
I bought a car two years ago when my credit standing was lower than it is today (650 now). I am overdue to refinance the loan with a more advantageous interest rate.
I have also been pre-approved for the BJs rewards credit card, something I can use.
As I understand it, taking two hard credit pulls within 30 days is less of a hit than spreading them out. The priority is the refinance loan. If I get that squared away, could I still qualify for the credit card?
Looking for recommendations for good shops near downtown Fort Myers to perform routine maintenance items like coolant change, brake fluid change, belts, etc. Ideally near the Cleveland , Fowler, MLK area.
Thanks!
I need some unbiased advice. I have a 2022 Honda HRV EX AWD that I bought used two years ago with 60,000 miles. I also purchased an extended warranty at the time. It now has nearly 89,000 miles. I owe about $17k on it. I am happy with the vehicle but I am wondering if I should consider selling or trading it before it hits 100k miles.
Does anyone around the Fort Myers Shores/Buckingham area know of a new Scooters Coffee location opening soon? There was a billboard near Rib City saying one was coming soon but didn't give an address.

Just curious how many YT Music users employ the app EQ settings or do you listen without and let your external device "color" the sound?
Has anyone heard anything from the team at Weatherfront regarding their Android app? I was told they were targeting early June. Here we are in mid July.
Some questions about Part 2.
-Did Michael suspect Fredo before he joined him in Cuba? Some of the questions he asked, the looks he gave before Fredo's slip of the lip in the Superman scene made me wonder. Seemed like Michael was watching Fredo's reactions to various scenes.
-The scene with Fredo and Michael at the outdoor cafe: Fredo was close to confessing what he had done. ("Why didn't we spend time like this before?") If he had done so in that relaxed setting, could Michael have spared his life? Forgiven but not forgotten?
-What exactly did Fredo give Johnny Ola that would help in the negotiations? According to Fredo they said there would be something in it for him if he helped close the deal fast. He also said he didn't know it would be a hit. What did they ask him to do? Surely Fredo wouldn't have blindly gone along if they asked him to leave Michael's drapes open.
I have been exploring a number of channels on the app and it occurred to me that it would be nice to have the option to have the app shuffle from a list of channels you choose. For instance you could listen to a song on Classic Vinyl, then one from The Bridge, then Deep Tracks, then Southern Rock.
Thoughts?
Tour or otherwise perform together as Queen+? It's been 2-3 years since the last tour. Brian and Roger know, all too well, how precious life can be and how tomorrow is guaranteed to no one. They both have talked about how fortunate they are to still be able to perform up to their standards.
However after his health issues, particularly the minor stroke, Anita talked about the need to recognize there are some things you must sacrifice and Brian has talked about not wanting to live on the road for extended periods. He did express some interest in the concept of Queen performing at the Sphere in Las Vegas (which would be phenomenal). Roger, on the other hand, has expressed his desire to keep performing.
We're already into June and no word of any performances upcoming. Have we quietly seen the last of Queen + Adam Lambert?
