Just wait till your kids get older... The fun never stops, it just gets more intense.
It's a hell of a ride, but not for everybody.

I don't mean to sound confrontational or start an argument, this isn't a personal attack, I dig your posts, but I hate that phrase in this context. "This thing I love is amazing and great, but isn't for everyone" Is another way of saying "you're wrong"
But this thread has gone off the rails.
OMG... @TonyP I meant nothing by that post other than respect for a personal life decision, and it wasn't even directed at you, just a general statement. I truly apologize if it came out any other way. I don't think you're wrong at all.
My own daughter has chosen to remain single and focus on her career and Navy service. I'm disappointed about no grandkids, but will never hassle her about it.

"Retiring the swim team" is a smart and respectable thing to do if you dont want kids (or more kids).
My wife and I had our kid relatively late, I was 34, she was 33 after being married for 10 years. We didn't really have any desire to have kids until then. We have one daughter, she's now a senior in college. I wouldn't trade the experience of raising her and having her in our life for anything, but I definitely get the hesitation from people... we had it! It's life changing... both good and bad.
I did retire the swim team though... didn't want anymore. it was no biggie at all other than thinking about it before it happened... didn't dig that.

Easiest and best thing I ever did. It’s uncomfortable (not painful) for a day or 2 and that’s it.
I'm the outlier. I must be immune to lidocaine. I felt every bit of it. They heard me screaming in the waiting room. Oh, and don't look down for a while after. Unless you're a fan of purple and green.
Funny story about that last part. About a week after I was still pretty bruised up and was at an IHOP with no dividers between the urinals. This kid comes up to the lowboy unrnial next to me. He takes a glance and can't stop staring. I deciding ignoring him would be much better than explaining the ways of the world...

My op mirrored Sinisters, I even got to watch mine after I told the Doc I had run a cow-calf operation for 20years and was pretty familiar with what was going to happen. Back in the saddle in a week albeit in relaxed fit jeans for a bit. Everybody's different, just research your Dr. I did have a friend that went back for a reversal, impregnated his wife then got cut again, now there is where I may balk.

He wouldn’t let me watch but did show me the vas deferens moments after he yanked from me. The worst part of the entire process was the anticipation.

That’s not the worst part.
The worst part is reading this thread as a very visual thinker!

Can we talk about oil or air pressure? ROFL

Imagine what was going through the kid's mind at the IHOP!
My buddy afterwards suggested I should have said "See what happens when you yank it too much?"
My apology if this has been asked and answered, but...
I use the image setting on the dash display as a parking aid if I'm pulling up to parking spot with a short pole or even a low wall in front.
The aerial view image in the right half of the screen doesn't have any dim sections and the lens below the cowboy hat up front isn't obstructed.
So anybody know why is it that I see a sort of wedge-shaped, dimmed section in the display from the forward facing camera system?

Maybe post a quick photo of what you see so that those with the latest cameras (16+) can compare to what they see...
If it’s what I’m thinking, they block that out to keep people from using the front view camera to drive.

Yeah, that would have been helpful huh?
This is how my camera displays in my 16. I’m pretty confident that the gray top section on the front facing view is the view from the camera behind the rear view mirror, which is not used in the composit overhead image.
So at least it's "normal". I'd ask my dealer but they only sell one, sometimes two LCs in a year, so...
Are you suggesting they use the camera below the cowboy hat and combine it with the windshield camera in some sort of composite for the forward facing view?
I thought that at first, but wouldn't it be sort of backwards since the windshield camera is clear in the wedge shape (so the other part would be the dim part)?
