Wifi Mesh setup. Highly recommend and reviews.
Easy setup and tremendous coverage throughout our house.
Even though I have Cat 6 all over, we have so many wireless devices using the internet that this was a must. Overall very pleased.

Since some nipplehead decided to cut out my catalytic converter a few weeks ago. (in both the rain and broad daylight), I took steps to prevent that happening again.

Cat protector-- it's not foolproof, but it'll sure slow somebody down.

Did mechanics manage to weld the cat back into place with added tubes or did you get full system.

Cat prices in CO have skyrocketed since the beginning of the year when CO began following CA's CARB restrictions-- a regular "EPA Approved" cat is no longer good enough.

The CARB cats? Tripled the price of the repair.

It cost about $2000 to have a new cat welded inline where the old one was-- and after checking several shops, that was a "reasonable" price.

Element's are going cheap in CO at the moment-- a lot of people are getting the cats cut out and are unwilling to put that kind of money into a 15 year (or older) car.

Sigh. The world we live in.

Just make sure that it doesn't slow *you* down...on the side of the road with a fire. Does the manufacturer of that contraption mention anything about risks of fire or reduced catalyst life from the cat not being able to cool itself?????

The bottom has a pretty good sized cutout and it's very wide in relation to the cat, so no worries there. This just prevents cutting and removal.

Exclamation

For my Ice Cream fanatics, listen carefully...

I present to you the last scooper you will ever want!
I grabbed this from Amazon based on the plethora of great reviews. I honestly could not believe how effective and effortlessly this thing slides through rock hard frozen ice cream for perfect scoops each time.

Very happy with them. I work outdoors quite a bit and even with the high heat my feet felt cooler in those. Also found that if they get wet from dew they seem to dry quicker. Heck the socks even have a right and left mark on them. I had ordered some for my wife and she likes them as well.
