To hell with basic economy. Especially when flying with a large object needing handling.

I hope you learned your lesson about going cheap when flying.
yep, i have learned my lesson. Luckily there were enough space so he was able to stuff the trumpet case into the overhead bin. Plus the flight arrived 20 minutes early, so he got to Terminal F right at boarding time.

It's been a while since I've been in band, but wouldn't a trumpet case fit under the seat in front of him? Glad it worked out. For some reason I was thinking contrabassoon or tuba. lol

My 2019 F150 came with a roll-up hard tonneau cover. I had it replaced under warranty in 2022. (minor appearance issue) I rarely roll the thing open, but a couple of weeks ago, I needed to have access to the bed, found the "felt" strips that act as noise reduction and help hold the aluminum strips together had fallen off. (glue failed) Kind of like this:

I'm sure the warranty is long over...it's gonna be a PITA to remove the cover and TRY to re-glue it.

Pretty sure I have mice in my ceiling. Getting up there would be a huge pita. It would be nice if they'd come down and play with Mamas. She'd appreciate the distraction from lounging around the house. I guess I'll leave them be for the time being/maybe forever.
