I thought the new (to me) truck I bought had a fixed soft tonneau cover over the bed. So I got some tools out with the intent of removing it to go Christmas tree shopping. I was pleasantly surprised to find it easily rolls up and out of the way.

I’ve had that style on my last 5 trucks and will keep getting them. Love the way you still have darn near the entire bed space when it’s rolled up.
 
I had a roll up cover on my 2006 Dodge Dakota and like it. Even better was the American Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover on my 2012 Ram. Easy to remove and re-install when I needed to and the damn thing lasted forever, it was still on my truck when I traded it in 2020!

Have an A.R.E. camper top on the 2020 Ram and love it, as the additional dry storage in now more important to me than the ability to remove the cover.

Best part about Ridgeline it rides like SUV and has lockable trunk in the bed that can be used like ice chest.
Miss that truck a lot, I had exactly same one but 2017.
 
I had trifold covers on my avalanche and prior Ridgeline and liked that they were strong English to stand on but thought it was a hassle store and reinstall them. I also had single piece hard covers that whee attached to the leading edge of the bed so that the cover could swing up like a hatch or trunk lid. I think this soft top is the way to go and only wish I would have discovered them sooner.

My uncle had a soft cover on his 95 Silverado that would roll up, but was also hinged with gas shocks so 2/3 could lift like a hard cover. I tried finding one when I had my 2012 Silverado, but couldn’t find one. Maybe the previous owner made it?

I really like the vinyl display idea! I’m going to share it with my daughter and maybe incorporate it in her apartment.

While most of my latest vinyl purchases have been hard rock/metal, I do have the Joan Jett/Foreigner/ELO albums that I purchased when they were new! ?

I may have a better "old man" credit to relate. I had Shout At The Devil on 8-track. For the car. ?‍♂️
 
No tornados here, just rain changing to snow about midnight last nignt.

Fox River from the hotel balcony in Appleton, WI. Up here for a couple days for a customer meeting. Cold as dammit, but pretty!

The locks are closed from Lake Winnebago up to Appleton so we‘ve never been up that far.

We still consider this weather “balmy“ - it won’t be cold for awhile yet. ;-)

Living up there I always used to tell people it ain’t cold until it gets below 0. Anything warmer was chilly.

At this very minute, I'm about 15 minutes from your location.

Was it something I said? You don't call, you don't write anymore... *sniffle* ?
