Jeep JK Headlight Replacement 920H4 from IPF

No sense in me posting photos because the photos at this link are perfect. I just installed mine tonight and I can tell you that the bright white light you see in the photo is exactly what it looks like. I haven't personally compared these to other JK headlight replacements, but I am very pleased with the IPF 920H4 replacements so far. The only place that sells them right now is Northridge4x4.

Netflix Long Waits

I'm tired of all the waiting for movies. This has been going on for a long time and there are lots of other dissatisfied customers. Short waits, long waits, very long waits. I've waited a couple of months for some new releases while they send me old releases that I have on my list at the end of my queue. I'm contacting Netflix Public Relations to see if they respond and have an explanation of why I have "eight" movies that are in some sort of "wait" status. See the screen capture below that shows the movies I'm currently waiting on. I'm going to include a link to this blog and I'll report back with their answer. I think they need to purchase more DVD's.

Here's the exact message I'm sending them.

"Many of your customers are dissatisfied with the many types of waits on their DVD's. Why is this problem so prevalent and what are you planning to do about it? The grocery store carries a better selection of movies that are actually available to rent, but it's not as convenient for me.
You don't need my account info to figure this out. Here's a link that shows the eight movies I'm currently waiting on. http://nofreerides.blogspot.com/2010/01/netflix-long-waits.html"

Swashbuckler Landscaping - Maple Valley, WA | PH: 425.754.4873 | swashbucklerys@msn.com

When it comes to landscaping, Robbie does it all. Concrete, pavers, water features, retaining walls, mowing, etc. We had our backyard excavated and hired Robbie to pour a concrete walkway from our existing patio on the back of the house all the way around the side of the house to the driveway out front. Great price and incredible service! He setup the forms on one day and poured the concrete on another. Each day he showed up, including the day of the estimate, he was always on time. Anyone with a busy schedule can appreciate that.

Robbie can landscape entire yards OR landscape parts of it for you. He can go one step further with his service and he'll get you started with your landscaping and let you finish what you want if budget is a concern. For example, he can deliver gravel for pavers, level and tamp the gravel, setup the boarder and then you can place the pavers. Need materials at a great price? Call Robbie.

I enjoy doing some landcaping myself, but not concrete. The photo below is after Robbie poured our walkway. Now I can start filling in the blanks. My family used to have to walk on the wet ground to get to the trash cans or to get the front yard. Now we can walk barefoot on the concrete walkway. Very Nice!













Robbie did an amazing job with the transition of the walkway at one level, to the height of the driveway at another level.

Greg Brock Dozing & Services, LLC - Auburn, WA

I definitely recommend Greg Brock. Number one, he's a fun guy to be around. Number two, he's got great prices, great service and attention to detail. He brought his smallest tractor for my 1/3 acre lot. Greg and his Son showed up a little ahead of time, scraped away everything I didn't want in my backyard and hauled it away all in one day. He did a great job of leveling everything. Our house was built in 1993. We bought it about seven years ago and there was nothing special about the backyard. Now we have a clean leveled yard and can landscape it the way we want to thanks to Greg.
