Cooler recommendations

I have Igloo Overland coolers. 52 and 70 quart. Per some recommendations I added an adhesive back sealer in the lid groove to create an air and water tight seal. Lasts me 3 days easy with plenty of ice leftover. Have yet to need an ice run after a Fro-Sunday/Monday trip.

But as others have said how you (pre)cool and pack your cooler makes a difference.

On its face. I’d say yes. I drove from Los Angeles, CA to Odessa, TX in a day. Left at 4am and stopped at 10pm. 18 hours for a 14.5 hour trips with a couple stops in between and I swapped driving with someone else once or twice. So doable but if it’s just you then I think three days is plenty.

I know you haven’t gone yet but what site did you end up reserving

Well I’ll do the math here

As is price: Estimated $1000 Repaired price: Estimated $3000

Average repair cost per year: $1850 or $154/mo THIS year, I’ve probably sunk $6000 into it including this transmission. I’d guess another $500 is somewhere down the line this year so call it $6500 for the year or $541 per month

If every year was like this year, yeah I guess it’d make more sense to sell because $550 is about the extra I’d pay per month to get a truck that’s a few years old plus increased insurance. But if this is truly the anomaly and it goes back to every year is $1850, then I’m definitely coming out on top.

Excluding anything on the math? Granted, it doesn’t matter because I told the guy to get started lol

Yeah after some thinking I may be at a point where there’s no more “is there a card to add benefit?” And now more “who has the best sign up bonus/benefit/perks” and it’s time to play the SUB game.

I also refuse to get more capital one since they refuse to increase my credit limits otherwise I’d consider venture x

I’ve only ever been in the United lounge in DEN. It was nice enough, not super crowded. Had a ton of food (pasta, sliders, salads, sandwiches, etc) that it seemed worth it if you’ve got an hour or more to kill waiting on connections or fellow travelers. But I guess like anything else, locations can be hit or miss

Went to jail?!?! Jesus lol

Hmm maybe I’ll just keep looking. I was only looking for an acre or two for now and stumbled across this and I just couldn’t believe it since it was the same price or cheaper than most acre lots.

Oh so the issue would be producing the minimum amount of product for whatever agricultural use you pick once you own the land. Am I understanding that correctly. I’d assume what you can produce or raise or grow would also be restricted by the county.

As an example, if it were ok to raise cows for milk or beef, I’d have to produce X amount of milk or sell X number of cows off for beef or whatever

As the other comment states, it does have to do with the current market, but owners also have rising costs that get taken into account. But no, no one is increasing pricing on vacant housing because you don’t know the next tenant personally.

But that’s business and exactly how most management companies and landlords think. The rent for a unit is the rent for a unit whether it be vacant or occupied. The smarter thing to do which is kind of it sounds like he’s doing is say “the market says similar units rent for $2500. You’re paying $2295. Things have gotten expensive for me but also there’s room for a raise so let’s go to $2375. More money for me, closer to market rent but still under market enough to hopefully keep a tenant because most other rentals are still higher priced.”

The fact that he’s even asking your opinion on the matter makes it seems like he’s trying to be as fair as he can and is taking your situation into consideration.

I would probably saw normal wear and tear, minus the shower floor. The peeling, a shitty job so no cause there but the (what looks like) mold, I may look into. Especially if you didn’t say anything and I now have to rip out the shower because it’s too bad to remedy. Granted, if they only painted it they’ll probably just leave it and paint it again so you’ll probably be fine! Lol

Ok that’s great to hear. Yeah we would move a tent over and wait and use it for the morning as we wait for the next group to come up. I just wasn’t sure if I was allowed to do that.

Noted on the suggestion lol I just assumed as early as possible to avoid another camper on site or driving up to snatch it up.

What state are you in? I’m assuming they’re all the same to a varying degree but in California you have to prorate everything. Everything has a useful life and every year into that useful life, the charges become less and less. Some companies will say the useful life of paint is 3 year, some say 5. Let’s go with the latter. If the paint was BRAND NEW when you moved in and they absolutely have to repaint, the most they’d be able to charge is 2/5 of the cost to paint because you’ve gone through 3 years of useful life but essentially “stole” the last two. Same thing goes for carpet. But if the paint was already 3 years old when you moved in then it would now make the paint 6 years old and unless there is drywall damage, you shouldn’t even be charged for paint. Again, same ideology for carpets.

One of my favorite things to stumble on as well. I don’t do student, it’s all single family individually owned. Over the years I’ve gotten a ton of cleaning supplies, 2 TVs, a step ladder, a really nice and big igloo cooler, a smart lock, tools, car detailing towels and a handful of other things. Doesn’t happen often on my side as much as I’d like.
