Three cars in my household and I just changed the batteries for all 3.

2022 Acura MDX: OEM battery died at 35 months. Dealer replaced it under warranty.
2018 Honda Pilot: OEM battery replaced at 6 years, but still worked.
2019 Honda CRV: OEM battery died at 5 years.

I replaced two of the batteries and a Duralast Gold cost $230 for each.

Can’t measure the inter cranial fat levels with these.

For that, you need to use transmission delay measurements. Pretty easy to do. Use a convenient hammer and lightly tap the side of your skull. Measure how long it takes to realize this wasn’t a good idea. Anything more than 1.5 seconds isn’t good 😅

I keep tapping, how many is too many?
It stopped hurting after 35 tries. I’m a little bit dizzy, is that alright🤪
 
I just received a letter from the Social Security Administration notifying me of a 40% increase in my Social Security benefits beginning March 2025 and the deposit of a lump sum payment for back payments due from Jan 2024- Feb 2025 under the Social Security Fairness Act (SSFA).
😊


Of course, this doesn't include the roughly the $50k in Social Security benefits that I previously earned but never received between 2015-2025, because my benefits were reduced by 40% by the Social Security "Windfall Elimination Provision"(WEP) and the Social Security "Government Pension Offset" (GPO) because I received a government pension, as an LEO, that was not covered by Social Security, which is the problem that the SSFA was enacted to address. :mad:

I hope that others of you here who were likewise affected have received a similar notice increasing your benefits from the SSA. 🙏

Thanks but . . .

I don't have to worry about spending any more $ on a CPK because someone else always snaps up any that I'm interested in before I even have a chance to buy one -- whether offered by Nathan or someone in the 2ndary market.

Whenever they're posted, they're GONE in minutes (if not seconds). 🤷‍♂️

So, I'm going to spend the extra $ on a few expensive lunches or dinners which is about all that it amounts to. 😉
