TSC for me as well...working in a parts store since 1990....I’ll leave you with a game to try before you buy...parts stores change suppliers often. Before you buy a battery, look at the sticker on the front. When suppliers change, they use up the previous stock and many times slap their sticker over the previous. Nonchalantly try and peel a corner and reveal what name you are getting. When playing with stock my high score was 3 other (different)name brand stickers under the outer most.:-)
Tenders are great, but I’ve had more fail than still work. Check them often! A load tester is your friend!

Sure can...You can get up to 2TB micro cards and 1tb sd and the transfer rate is quicker. Reduce it to a Zip file to compress.

If they don’t have a usb-a they must have a usb-c. A simple adapter is required. If not the majority have an SD slot.

Lol...obviously they are not referring to the initial post that was offering an idea...so they shoot the messenger even when clarified. The unfortunate status quo only means the club will end. So what are your ideas?
By the way, thank you to all the messages I received referencing they read the initial post with complete comprehension and clearly understood the idea to help in this matter. I can see why there is a deep divide in the group now...and no I did not stir any pot. I give clear rebuttal. If you take it as stirring the pot, well then, it’s your issue not mine. Not hiding behind a keyboard either. Simply offered a suggestion in the initial post. If the powers that be that make the decisions do not want to entertain, take up or act on an idea that is fine by me. If silencing or censoring ideas and members is your idea, then enjoy.
When you focus on a single word in a post that is clarified and given an additional meaning; and not the issue and suggestion for assistance offered, then there clearly is a problem in dealing with the overall issue...I have not seen a post on this thread of alternative ideas either!
Finally, here is the quote from the initial post in which I use the word “buy” meaning ‘to purchase’ 2x in order to help potentially raise money to offset the financial hole...
“Would it be possible for the powers that be look into offering official T-shirts, hats, key chains, hoodies with the club logos or KF and Willy’s pics on them. We buy, club makes money on the purchases. Many of us can’t make it to National meets, but would love to buy Swag and help advertise KF when not able to get the cars out there...”
...so, feel to bash me, knit pick words, or the idea...the financial hole remains! Or offer up your idea🤔

Initial post...I attempted to redirect the thread to the original thought, yet someone continued to banter. No apologies, I got it. Again, you missed the part of “we buy.” Arguing doesn’t help and your’re still in a financial hole...congratulations on another member being spoken to like—————————.

1)You need to Read the initial post! I did NOT say what do “I” get! If there was any reading comprehension I clearly stated I’ve read other people stating it!!! I then proceeded to give a suggestion to help the club create, “SELL, swag to help with the remarkable financial problem...if thats not clear, sorry, that is on the reader as it is clear. I’ve been a teacher for over 20 years and it amazes me the how people distort things...wow, just wow!
2)As for swag “only” meaning free... try again. And stating again, as written in the initial posting, I made that clear with examples to be purchased. You are flat wrong. There are more sources than Wikipedia...lol. Sorry, I’ve dealt in swag for over 20 years with touring bands in the music industry....and nothing is free! Also, in the right circles back in the day it also means bad pot.😂 I’ll just chalk this up to a generational gap!
The sad thing I learned is when you try to help, you get attacked, reading comprehension has declined even when the text evidence is clearly stated, there probably will not be any apologies after pointing out multiple times the examples and nothing will change. My dads club i was excited to be a part of is nothing like it was and for that it’ll be tough to continue.

Hmmm... I made sure that was clear in the initial post! I made NO mention of the club providing anything free! I’ve no idea where that was interpreted. FYI: swag is just another word for merch. All swag is not free! As I made clear in the initial post. Many members don’t/can’t go to a National meet for whatever reason, so therefore it would be nice to support the club with “official” (since that’s the new buzz word)items to purchase. Where did I mention free? This is not the way to address ideas to help the club...it’s clear it’s needed. As others have mentioned, I’ll just observe as things decline. Again...where did I say free? Smdh🤦♂️

If you go to a good paint store or auto parts that still mixes...there are a number of Alternates(meaning get different mixes/batches) of Wimbledon white...they will note slightly darker, lighter, whiter...etc) as for the champagne and yellow satin, I have searched all the old books and have never found any crosses or actual listings:-(

Just received the October bulletin today and was taken aback after reading about the budget short fall. Obviously there’s a number of factors that brought about the situation. It was great to see the donations made to try and somewhat offset the numbers. That said, it is what it is and suggestions have been asked for...my 2¢...
I’ve read many times in past posts people saying, “what do I get?” if I join the club. You can’t really put a price on the help and assistance in answering questions but individuals simply like “things,”or as I’ve asked myself...does the club have any official SWAG? Stuff We All Get! Would it be possible for the powers that be look into offering official T-shirts, hats, key chains, hoodies with the club logos or KF and Willy’s pics on them. We buy, club makes money on the purchases. Many of us can’t make it to National meets, but would love to buy Swag and help advertise KF when not able to get the cars out there...

It’s been on eBay for a bit...the owner made a decent offer but I didn’t catch it when I was in Boston and a bit closer...
