    Man, y'all are making me feel better. I'm 31, but in my job I'm constantly surrounded by 18-22 year olds so I am pretty much a fossil compared to the general populous.

    Ha, just wait 21 years and see what it feels like being surrounded by that same age group!

    Oh man, there's no way I could do this another 21 years. I don't think my knees and back would make it. 10 more then Im done. Im thinking about becoming a teacher after I retire which would make the age gap even worse though...

    What do you do? I'm 6'5", 52 and do Hvac. I spent two days in and out of a crawl space last week and today had to scrap a 1929 monster furnace in place to be able to get it out of the basement. Check this thing out, it was originally a coal burner.20170412_080754.jpg

    Imma try and hijack this again... Sorry guys...
    How much does your company charge to clean vents?

    And back on topic of the orange Kia, did it say if it was hybrid or not? Kinda sad to see our speculation last week about the ft4x(4) turned out to be the ft 4cyl x-over... Though Lexus has the nx (nimble x-over) so it should be that much of a surprise.... But at least the nx is turbocharged...

    We don't do duct cleaning. It's just my boss and me at this point. He doesn't have the equipment for it. You've got to be careful about who you have do it. We see a/c coils destroyed by dumbasses that shove the brush to far in. And old ductwork can get busted up to.

    Is it an older house? How dirty is the ductwork?

    I'm all for a resurgence in the small SUV bracket. The little Zuks are super popular off-roaders here and I think it'd be great to have some more, newer choices in that category, especially if they're Toyota products... But, wow... Hopefully that thing is very... "conceptual"... LOL

    I am big time Disappointed at the new Toyota FT-4X !!!
    I love my 2007 Toyota FJ - however I was wanting something newer with more ...
    I was wanting a real 4-door FJ
    I was wanting the spare tire on the back of the FJ to be relocated anywhere else
    I need a new FJ that can tow at least 5,000 lbs ( just like I do now with my FJ )
    I was wanting a FJ with better fuel mileage
    I was wanting a new FJ that is very off-road ready
    I was wanting a new FJ which had a rear design similar to the Toyota RAV4
    I was wanting a new FJ that I could wash out the mud with a garden hose
    I was wanting a new FJ with much larger factory tires

    The FT-4X is not that vehicle !
    The FT-4X rear looks like the front of a mono-rail train at Disneyland
    The FT-4X rear looks like it was rear-ended by a high-speed semi truck
    The FT-4X rear looks like the rear of a baboon in heat

    I think Toyota really blew it! I think the entire FT-4X design team should be fired!
    Toyota - you are missing your mark !
    We want a simple rugged updated 4-door FJ !

    I used to have a beach front house there on CDA Lake Drive. Now I live just north of the CDA casino. However - I am moving back to Coeur d'Alene next month.
    FYI - I am a network engineer

    Sometimes I wish I never sold my CDA lake-front house. Just a few houses down from the golf course and 150 foot of water-front - with a boat dock.
