The only reason Japan didn’t try to invade the west coast was they saw the large number of hunting licenses distributed. They knew it would be a death sentence.

Good thing they didn't look today. Bunch of pansies out there.

I can tell you a story I know -

Two lsu football players in the 80s needed money to buy presents for their girlfriends for Christmas.

They came and mowed a lawn - one did it the first day. One mowed the whole yard again on the second day. It was December - grass ain’t growing quick but it still took time and effort for them to do the job.

This was all legal as they actually did the work. By the following year the ncaa has changed some rules and they weren’t able to do it like that anymore.

ETA - no sure what they were paid but I’m guessing it was on the higher end of the rates at the time.

I knew a guy whose job was to report to some field every day at a certain time and make sure the automatic sprinklers came on.

Chat GPT says...

The important discovery is that DT4Z-18842-CA does not appear to have to be the exact number stamped on the replacement. Ford catalog information shows DT4Z-18842-CB as replacing/superseding DT4Z-18842-CA.

For a used unit, though, I would be even more precise. The number to concentrate on is the engineering number on the rear label:

DT4T-18A802-CA
or
DT4T-18A802-CB

Those two are grouped together by recyclers under Hollander interchange 638-08102. Automotix currently says it has 2 units in stock in that interchange and specifically states that CA and CB replace one another for a 2013 Edge.

I found one I would seriously consider buying

LKQ currently has an OEM 2013 Ford Edge control panel listed on eBay for $231.08 with free shipping and a 90-day parts warranty. Most importantly, the listing identifies:

Interchange: 638-08102
OEM IDs: DT4T-18A802-CA / DT4T-18A802-CB
Ford service number: DT4Z18842CA

That is about as good a match as I could ask for without seeing your wife's original panel.

I also found Benzeen Auto Parts listing a 2013 Edge OEM control panel using DT4Z18842CA, DT4T18A802CA and DT4T18A802CB, again identified as interchange 638-08102. They state it is tested/inspected and carries a one-year warranty.

There is also a very attractive Plan B: repair hers

This may actually be what I would do with a very clean, low-mileage car.

There is an active repair service specifically for the 2011–2014 Ford Edge radio/A/C climate-control panel, including DT4T-18A802-CA and CB. They specifically say they repair problems involving buttons not working or operating on their own. The current price is $299, the seller shows 99.9% positive feedback, and the listing shows 49 sold. You send them your original unit, they repair it, and you get your original back.

There's another company, PCB Improvement, offering a mail-in FCIM repair and guaranteeing repair of the customer's original climate/radio control panel, although they are considerably more expensive at $540.

Then why didn’t they call him Snake Bryant?

They were saving the nick name "Snake" for Kenny Stabler.

I bought a 2-door BaseSquatch in January. I use it as my primary vehicle, but I am an empty nester, so I do not need the seats and my wife has a luxury car for when we need that. I have previously owned an FJ Cruiser, a 4Runner, and a Jeep Wrangler JK, and this is by far my favorite of the bunch. The Bronco is not quite as capable off the road as the Jeep, but it is much more road-friendly.

She must have heard 4 Non Blondes was looking for a new lead singer.
