Pros and cons of a wrap iyo?

Pros: Not as "Fragile". Doesn't get scratched with the tiniest thing. Easy to Wash. Can Still wax it. Easy to fix/patch (cut a small piece or hit with heat gun and smooth out). Cheaper than paint. Hides any small scratches on the paint under the wrap. Rock chips really aren't a thing unless you're camping behind a semi. Can change the color or add accents easily if it becomes stale.

Cons: Gotta be careful when it comes to say cleaning the edges to not peel up. Cant let it stay dirty for too long, as dirt penetrates the wrap and can cause discoloration / bubbles. Fades slightly if left out in sun for really long time while dirty(Weeks/Months)

Cons only really come into play if you dont take care of it, I.E. keep it from being dirty as heck for long periods of time. And if it starts peeling up you want to smooth it back down or make a small patch before it gets worse.

Plus if its waxed, you can literally hit it with a pressure washer and it cleans up super easy.

WTF... 1 of 3 computers in my office won't connect to the server. The mapped drive no longer works. When I disconnect it, it does not delete the mapped drive. The icon remains, and I get a "Location is not available" error instead of the "cannot reconnect to mapped drive" error. Super frustrating. Manual DNS or IP connections do not work even though they work for the other computers. Internet and other VPN connections work fine on the computer. Server is local. I'm at a loss. All firmware is up to date, all devices have been rebooted. Even switched out some cables with the other computers and no change. Any thoughts anyone?

Manually disconnect mapped drives... net use x: /delete ... where x is drive letter. Reboot and log back in. Use DHCP. If it has problems connecting to internet, repair IP stack. Also add server to host file and see if you can map the drive manually. Also ping server by up and name

Had to replace a cloths line post yesterday. Those dang post hole diggers got the best of my neck. Hurts like a mother. Both knees have been giving me crap since Saturday because a storm front coming through. So I have been a gimp who can't turn his neck for the last few days. No work today because I have been in an ill hurting mood. I am kicking and screaming getting older. Guess I can't be 38 forever.

The ones I have rented have been two man operated, but man they auger the holes in about 10 seconds each.

I rented the one that had wheels. It was truly a one man operation. I put in all of my fence post for my horse pasture with one.
