I live on a street with silver maple. Stay far away! We have a bumper crop of propellers this year, the leaves are always the last to fall, never change color. And they are messy trees. The red maple we have, on the other hand, is lovely. A nice color variation in the street scape. And has lovely shade.

Don’t you hate those helicopter seeds? They stick up in the grass, and look freaky!🤣And they clog up the gutters.

Anyone else watch the finale last night of American Idol? I thought the top 3 were all excellent, but to choose one, was kinda like comparing apples to oranges. They were all so unique, and great performers.

Fell asleep for a while but luckily woke up again at 10:30, so I saw the final performances and decision.

My own picks were different from the judges and online public votes. Chayce came in #1 (I placed him as # 3), Willie, who was my favorite, came in at #2 (he should have been #1), and Grace came in 3rd place (my choice for her would have been #2).

It's actually better than it was pre-covid. Pre-covid you had to be here at park opening, which was at 7 am sometimes.

It was deeper than that based on what I saw. People were frustrated with the bus service. I can not say with all the hotels since I only can speak about the hotel I stayed at. The Gondola hotels and the Epcot hotels with boats had a big advantage over the bus hotels for DHS.

I was at WDW when Smuggler's run had its grand opening, but I was not at DHS during grand opening of that ride and the land itself. My younger brother and I were at MK that day instead. We stayed at Port Orleans Riverside and Left WDW on September 5th, 2019. Disney's resort wait time screen at the bus stations at Port Orleans Riverside had wait times for buses posted except for DHS. The DHS wait time screen after Galaxy's Edge was always blanked and caused guests to wonder when is the next DHS bus.

We saw stuff like 2 Magic Kingdom buses stopping less than 2 minutes from each other from the same stop, but nothing from DHS even during that weekend with the crowds being lower than normal due to Dorian. We saw less crowds from our hotel including the food court in the morning. The catch is people where frustrated with the bus wait to DHS. People were leaving before Dorian was going to hit. We saw stuff like people waiting over an 1 and 30 minutes for a DHS bus from our hotel. My parents on Labor 2019 saw family was getting on a Disney bus to chew out a bus driver because they waited over an hour for a DHS bus despite the crowds were down for the parks.

My younger brother and I saw similar problems with AK back in the first summer that AK had Pandora. There was no 2 hour waits, but the waits were longer than normal for AK. The thing is Disney buses are streaky to begin with for getting one.

Definitely had an advantage staying at Boardwalk on the old system. Got up at 7, went down the stairs, walked over, was in at 7:30. No waiting for the buses and got in. This system is more fair, although those with newer phones do have an advantage. My mom has an older iPhone and couldn't get in at 7 am when I wasn't with them. They're looking at putting data on my dad's phone (my old phone) when they go on vacation because it's a better phone, but my 5G phone will always have an advantage.

There are a variety of tools also to tighten something loose like a screw on the coffee pot. A screwdriver will work but if in a pinch just use a butter knife.

Indeed, I once changed an upper radiator hose on my ‘71 Cutlass with just a dime. Noticed steam common’ from under the hood and pulled over in a 7-11 parkin’ lot. Popped the hood, and the hose had a split in it right near the clamp at the thermostat housing. Fortunately, there was also an auto parts store just down from the 7-11, and across the street, and luckily they had the part. When I walked back to my car and popped the trunk to get my tools, I realized I had left them at a friends place...!!!!! :facepalm::hilarious:
But, I had a pocket full of change, and a dime worked just fine for the hose clamp screws...!!! :)
