Manually trying to update it doesn't work as it just says it's up to date.

Honestly when my Nexus 5X dies for a third time I'm going to see if I can get a refund out of google and go buy an iphone SE. I'll bitch about iOS but at the end of the day it does what I need it to, connect to the internet and make phone calls, I'll be happy with the size again, battery life, price, durability and if I switch back to ATT I'll have better reception again.

I'll miss Google Fi though, when Google tries they can nail customer service/experience. The hardware let them down this time.

Seriously, I'm like the chick stuck in a toxic relationship.

"I know he was a Nexus 5X but he's better now, he's a 6P!"

"Well, I know he's a 6P, but he's been going to therapy and now he's a Pixel"

"Things have been... great I think, but he's going through this "Oreo" phase and I know he's working through some stuff... I'm sure thing will get better come Pixel 2"

I know I'll probably be better off with an iPhone, but I don't have the best track record with apple products.

Lol. I've only had one case of booting issue with my phone. Haha

Somehow I have a dead hornet stuck INSIDE my third brake light - that little pocket in-between the rear window and the light. Obviously happened on Mines Rd when I was passing a low flying plane.

Does the TBL easily pop off? Any tips?

When I had my FR-S tinted, the guy removed it pretty quickly. I didn't see the process tho.

So now you're saying I need to get my windows tinted? I see how you operate.

Chopsticks. No joke that's what I use to get bees stuck back there. Sometimes I used a single chopstick wrapped with tape to get dog fur that got trapped back there.

That actually made me literally LOL.

So nice to have the fog back in the bay!

My wife took this shot from the ferry on her iPhone 6s with the Moment telephoto lens:

@Kaotic Lazagna Keeping in mind that in general it's hard to get a lot of reflection off white paint, check out the great reflection I got from this Chemical Guys cherry wet wax I used yesterday.

Looking good. Did it also enhance the gloss of the CF fender fins?

Looks like the rain drops tomorrow will bead off nicely.

[Clipdat]

Yes it did actually! I took photos of them earlier after today's drive as they were looking quite stunning in the sun!

It better not rain! I swear this happens every damn time I wash my car.
