Amazon not only tracks you, they keep track of all your orders you ever made there. Top right corner Returns & Orders button, pick the time frame.
amazon store colorful chooze for some reason I couldn't get the link to open. I tried to find him or them again and I think they got booted off Amazon. Had some bad feedback but I didn't have any issues at all.

If you are using Prime then contact them about your account. I've read how they will cancel people without warning, usually for too many returns.

Today I had some new rubber installed.

Ran into a pack of wild nails and bolts that were crossing the road on my way home which killed the 265/70r17 Goodyear Duratracs for which I didn’t have replacement certs for. Ouch. At 38k they still had plenty of life left but weren’t patchable. Soooo this morning I went to Discount Tire where they threw on meaty BFG KO2 LT285/70r17s. First off I love the look with the lettering out but will absolutely need to trim the crash bars a little bit, even with 2.5” level and +25 offset.

Happy with them so far but man do they feel heavy compared to the Goodyears. Expecting a hit to MPG but I knew that going in lol

Battery replacement...

Took it in this morning to Quick Lane (pics below) for a battery test because I've been getting a pop up (shown below) on and off for the last two weeks. Both tests failed and battery replaced under factory warranty. My cost would have been $223.95 without warranty... :whew:

Service dept. said the original battery would have crashed real soon. After the replacement, FordPass locked me out with the message...."YOUR VEHICLE IS IN A DEEP SLEEP MODE"...
Service dept. said to call Ford to clear it and it was just a matter of uninstalling and reinstalling the App.

Bought a Rigid Skid Shield for the rear hitch on my truck
I have a aftermarket Draw-Tite Hitch that sits a little farther back than the OEM hitch under the rear bumper.
I don't tow, so I figured I'd add a little CYA to the rear bumper.

The Hitch was cheap and so was the shield-which is made in the Good 'Ol USA

When I was getting my private license in the 70's my first instructor was Helen. Remarkable lady and had an impressive list of planes she flew. I never really considered that women had any limitations in their abilities.
