Thanks. Yeah, it's hard. However, having gone through it with his brother, Bear, we were more prepared and made peace with Prince inevitable passing long before he reached his end. With Bear, it caught us by surprise. We thought that he looked better losing some wait; he was too fat anyway. However, when the weight kept coming off, and he started to look skinny, we knew that something was up. We took him to the vet, and she said that he's diabetic. My wife and I were like Diabetic?? We administered insulin to him but it didn't appear to work. We had to put him to sleep 2 weeks later. He was just ailing too much. That was hard.

Yeah. I figure it's cheaper than painting the entire and hood bumper, and that it will do a sufficient job.

It's a tough situation and every couple has a different outcome. My wife and I had our period of darkness (9 years ... years 3 through 12) ... so to speak ... but found a way back. It wasn't easy. What happened between us could destroy 99% of marriages. However, we remained together, albeit for different reasons, but in the process, we rediscovered each other, and soldiered on.

Over the years, we grew in different, but important ways ... ways that enabled us to love each other again. Every marriage has challenges and annoyances. We cope in our own ways. We're now in year 24 and are adapting to living without young kids. Our son is now 20.

I would say this. Before you walk away, make sure that you AND YOUR SPOUSE have done everything that one can reasonably expect. However, if you're not on the same page with visible action, then do what you need to do.

Hi Mr.kenchan

Today I found my cup-holder-thingy jammed into my mail box. Good thing it's well packaged! It's very well made, much better than I was expecting. And my unit stands straight up

Yeah, I just said that!

I just need to add a bit of foam or a cloth because the Zoom is too thin to fit securely, no biggie.

Thanks for the recommendation

Yeah, but the list lost a bit of it's bite earlier this week. It's slightly tarnished and less fearful now... Heads must roll to correct this glaring problem!

hi mr.gale. sounds good that you got your cupholder thingie and stands straight. you might want to try making a tripod mount for your zoom if you your zoom has a tripod mount hole?

for mine i just drilled 2 holes into the base and mounted a thin piece of metal with the tripod knob and e-clip on the other side so my knob doesn't fall off.

on the base, i added some 5mm thick weather seal stripping blocks on the bottom half of the part of the base extenders. this is to prevent the extenders from holding onto the painted cupholder ring on the Z. that part vibrated on my car in certain frequencies when the tascam was attached.

after pulling out the cupholder assembly i pulled apart the painted ring and put a piece of e-tape sandwiched between the painted trim clip part and the base plastic for a secure fit. you'll know wat i mean if you pull your cupholder assy out of the center console and see the passenger side of the ring. yours might not vibrate though with your zoom attached.

hello all. Hopefully you're staying cool these few days. it was up to 106 today in Chicago, if I'm not mistaken that's a record.

Took the Z out yesterday when it was 103 and those oil temps hit 225 just cruising at 50mph in 5th. Oil cooler is next mod
