The IR tint I'll be installing would certainly help that, but I'm still a bit leery of leaks (drain tubes plugging, seals). It was an added expense I just didn't have any interest in and I already have enough cab penetration with the lights & sharkfin & sat gps/XM pods.
It sure would have been nice if the current HD's had a true 5th Gen cab, but the bulbous AAC camera behind the mirror doesn't bother me much being only 5'10". Rear recline seats are not important to me, just the move from a QC to the CC is huge. Tons of rear legroom for the occasional passenger and my grandson could build a fort back there.
Have a friend in the tint/bra business so I'll be getting the F&F discount for a cash deal. ;-)
With the current COVID-19 scare and the market uncertainty, it was a bittersweet deal. The upside is they are so hungry for sales, I got to beat them up more on a few things. Maxcare at $100 over cost (compared online prices) and they let me put a HUGE down using a CC so pints and miles cha-ching. I got an absolutely smokin rate on the financed part and it's even with my bank.
Maybe the state/county will make you a smoking deal when it comes time to get plates too.
Smoking, as in they were vigorous and didn't use any lube.
Damn Bill Ritter....
Regardless of democrats or republican, this is side effect of people voting for this turd into the office ~14 years ago.
I dont like this guy so much that I would not even vote for this guy even he was republican.
Ever have Cici's?Quote:

We've all been over this before. For me it seems especially egregious when I only put about 4-5K per year on either vehicle and even less on the RV.
1x, was enough. While passable not really it, for me.Quote:

I love Pizza Ranch. Always seem to make it their when I find myself in Nebraska or Wyoming.
You guys know there is a Pizza Ranch in Loveland, right?
Nope. Had no idea. Thanks for the intel.Quote:

BTW, I think I'm the only one here who thinks Pizza Ranch is awful? When you factor how much you pay it doesn't really matter that it's all-you-can eat. For over $30 (with drinks) I can easily get my fill of much better food. For instance, some tout the all-you-can-eat chicken and for $15 per person I can buy a couple of 8pc buckets of chicken from King Soopers. I promise you I can't eat 16 pieces of chicken over the course of several days. The pizza is meh at best and I certainly wouldn't put it against even decent pizza.
To me, Pizza Ranch reminds me of Cici's Pizza only 3x more expensive with similar pizza, worse drink selections and the addition of fried chicken. That's just me though. There's usually lots of cars in the parking lot when we drive by so I must be in the minority with that opinion.
I'm not super selective with my food choices either but I do tend to try to shy away from buffets these days and would rather eat 2-3 good slices of pizza rather than 9-24 slices of pizza that is only a few steps above a cardboard box with gubment cheese & canned meats thrown on it.
No, you're not.Quote:

If you?re in a town like Red Oak, Iowa then suddenly Pizza Ranch is a very good option for lunch.
Also, when the company is paying for lunch then the price vs what you are getting for your money becomes an irrelevant part of the equation.
I've been looking at replacing the Wyze camera at the front door for awhile. It requires a power cord so I have it mounted in our front window which works ok but the glare in the daytime makes it horrible. It also doesn't do a great job of picking up movement on certain things (especially people) but always picks up the wind moving the bush out front. I think it has a really hard time seeing through the glass which doesn't help.

I was about to pull the trigger on a Ring camera but our doorbell is mounted in a weird spot. They do make a right-ish angle mount but I know the lady wasn't going to like it because it was going to stick out like a sore thumb. I also really don't like the idea the it's obvious it's a camera and I've heard of people stealing them.

A friend told me Amazon had a 100% wire free camera and the battery life was around 3-6 months depending on how much it is used so I picked this guy up. Hopefully it works as well as the reviews say it does.

I tried that route too, but the infrared detection didn't work through the glass and the IR illumination LEDs reflected back off the glass at night.
My doorbell is like yours. I went the Ring route. It has a brushed bronze bezel like the door hardware and doesn't look crazy. Stealing it would also take some effort since it uses a security screw to gain access to the mounting screws.
Having had battery powered cameras before, I like that the standard doorbell transformer keeps it charged. I have another camera that I plan to put under an eave that will cover the entire front of the property.
Did you go with the angle mount as well? The stories I heard about people stealing them was just prying them off, not even working about the security screw. I'd prefer to go the Ring mount but like I said, I hate that is plain as day that it is a camera.Quote:

I plan on mounting this wireless one in the corner of the eave so it is less noticeable.
I went with a wedge and an angle since it's on hardboard siding. The screws I used are impressive. The ones in the kit are too thin and the heads aren't big enough, IMO. It would take a lot of effort to rip off.
Any pics of it?
I'll see what I can do.
I ended up ordering the ring camera as well and will decide which one I prefer when they both arrive.
Skybell is free. You can turn off the LED so it isn't constantly on. Help me understand why you are concerned that it looks like a camera? I can't imagine what value a doorbell pried off a house could have. People used to get cell phones and iPods stolen, but now that everyone has one, seems like less of a concern.
I can't speak for the theft risk, but it has occurred to me that as prevalent as "Rings" are, if your doorbell looks like a camera at a distance a dedicated thief (or whatever) isn't going to come up and ring it.... Even if that used to be a thing. So maybe by not having obvious cameras, they try the obvious methods first, where you may have a chance to notice before something happens.Quote:

Yes, I know I need to paint.
The camera is activated by motion before they get the chance to ring it.
Pretty much what I was thinking. While I really don't feel theft may be the issue, someone that is notices a camera is either going to stop what they were about to do or figure out a different method to get around it. If you can make it discreet, why wouldn't you?Quote:

He had parked two of his four vehicles right in front of our house and refused to move them. Mind you, the one truck had been in a roll over, in no way road worthy, both had expired out of state tags, and were never driven. Our neighborhood at that time was brand new and the HOA was still in the process of being completed. They were aware of the situation but said they couldn't do anything until it had been finalized (which took months). I finally got his attention and that's when the argument took place. He got pretty nasty and said it was no of my F'in business what cars are in front of my house and that he could park whatever and wherever he wanted.
As cheap as these cameras are now-a-days, you really don't have an excuse to not even have a basic setup like mine to CYA.
Thanks for sharing! That is probably how mine will end up with the same camera view. Ideally, I like it angled more to actually view my parked vehicle/vehicles but that may not be feasible with the Ring. I'm not a home construction guy either but I am guessing they mounted our doorbell there for a reason so it probably cannot be relocated very easily. I'll try both and see which I like better.Quote:
