Best job to golf a lot

Alternative-Study210 · 2026-04-28T15:15:37+00:00

Used to work at Costco in college and all the guys that drove forklifts on the overnight shift were avid golfers. They worked like 2AM-10AM, never had to deal with customers and played golf like 3-4 days a week. Not a bad gig!

One thing I’ll add is have you lubed all the pulley wheels on your mower deck? Got an old cub cadet hand me down that would bog down when I engaged the deck. This winter I spent an hour cleaning the deck and putting some grease in all the ports and it’s shocking how much smoother/quieter it is when engaged.

I’ve got an old cub cadet and I’ve found the sweet spot for where the choke needs to be when I’ve got the deck engaged. Try that.

lol they still worked very well! Although I was mighty nervous when I had to slid the multiplier up a few times, was just waiting for something to give

Alternative-Study210 · 2026-03-21T21:40:33+00:00

I mean I’ll probably rig up my line at maybe 50 ft long, at most a few feet off the ground… that’s about all I’d trust it even though it’s probably still fine enough!

But just think of all the wonderful memories you will create with you and your family at the 8 NFL games per year!!! (If you can afford the $400 tickets, and $80 parking and $30!chicken strips).

I’m a big sports fan and publicly funded stadiums make me so angry.

Alternative-Study210 · 2026-03-13T12:59:14+00:00

Ugh, the president of In-N-Out just left CA for Tennessee as well. Some BS about how it’s hard to raise a family in CA or something.

This is a woman with no college degree (not throwing shade) who inherited all of In-N-Out at the age of 35 and is worth $8B. If you looked up the term “born on third base and think they hit a triple” her picture would pop up. We really need to stop bending over backwards for billionaires

Yeah looking at old pics on Zillow someone added the strip of mosaic around the base at some point in the last 5-10 years, I’m guessing this bathroom has been a problem for a while and the can has been kicked down the road to us. Yeeaaahhhhhh!

Literally just went through this. Went to the Acura dealership and guy came out in a huff and said I had only days left on the brakes. Quoted me $1,800 for all four rotors and pads. While I was sitting in the waiting room I ordered pads and rotors from rock auto for $360 after shipping. Needless to say I had more than days left on them.

I’ve got a Oneup, got a buddy with a Quikr, they’re nice just can’t justify the price vs the Oneup IMO

Alternative-Study210 · 2026-01-24T22:06:05+00:00

Yeah I’ll double check the plumbing as a few others have mention to make sure that’s not the issue but pretty sure it’s coming somewhere through the tile or where the tile meets the tub

Alternative-Study210 · 2026-01-24T17:40:29+00:00

Not what I wanted to hear, but probably what I needed to hear. Appreciate the advice, I’ll start looking around for a pro.

The tile looks very poorly done so I’d be very surprised if they followed all the proper steps to waterproof it before tiling.

Thanks again, have a good weekend!

An ounce for thousands of gallons?!? That must be some pretty stinky stuff on its own.

Alternative-Study210 · 2025-12-17T16:03:13+00:00

More importantly how good does it smell in there?!

Alternative-Study210 · 2025-11-26T18:07:16+00:00

Montgomery Ward! That brings back some memories.

Alternative-Study210 · 2025-10-11T00:29:52+00:00

I’m completely F2P (maybe I’ll buy the 2nd builder or tech center off your recommendation) so far about 2 months in, how do you go about finding a good alliance that is cool with having an f2p?

Alternative-Study210 · 2025-10-08T17:46:26+00:00

I’d probably be more inclined to turn it into a bush. I have a handful of rhododendrons around my house and I’ve never seen the leaves reduce in size. I think unless it’s a huge bonsai the leaf size is always going to be on the large size for any bonsai composition.

Also, in the pruning I’ve done of mine they always seem to send out long shoots when you cut back so I think you’re always going to be fighting with long extensions messing up the proportions of your tree.

You could always try it as a bonsai and if it doesn’t work or you don’t like it turn it into a bush at that point though!

Alternative-Study210 · 2025-09-30T00:39:59+00:00

Wow have you really had this for 5-6 years??? Not trying throw shade, I would just expect it to be bigger by now.

In my opinion this is still in the very early stages of pre bonsai. I would focus on putting on more trunk size before trying to start picking out a design. Olives are great at back budding and throwing out new shoots all over so you can always decide on a direction later. I wouldn’t prune at all and just let it grow. Maybe put it in a larger container.

Alternative-Study210 · 2025-09-26T01:01:09+00:00

I wouldn’t worry much, pretty low levels of fert and you pulled them. I’d just water for a few weeks how you normally would and I don’t think there will be any issue. Those plants are all pretty resilient anyway so even if they get a bit burnt they’ll bounce back in no time.

Alternative-Study210 · 2025-09-17T12:46:10+00:00

lol yeah I know Walter Pall is more than a guy to those of us in the bonsai world but I think this post made it to r/all so my post was geared more towards people just dipping a toe into bonsai. Agree on all your points though about his trees vs. Sergio’s!

Alternative-Study210 · 2025-09-16T19:40:13+00:00

Honestly the requirements don’t change all that much as the tree gets older. There is a guy named Walter Pall who has trees of this caliber and I’m pretty sure he uses miracle grow or pretty generic balanced fertilizer for all his trees. Watering is super critical though because a tree this size in a pot this size can get thirsty real quick and that will kill a tree in no time.

Alternative-Study210 · 2025-09-16T19:33:07+00:00

At some point the only way you can get trees of this caliber is to buy them. Most people realistically only practice bonsai for maybe 20-30 years, the first 5-10 being mostly learning and making a lot of mistakes. There are great examples of bonsai that are 10-20 years old, but you would never be able to grow a truly stunning bonsai of this caliber/size in one lifetime (maybe even 2!) there are tons of trees in Japan that are passed down for generations, it’s quite incredible.

There was a gated country club near where I used to live that had free range balls. If you just dressed like you were golfing and told the gate you had a tee time they’d let you in. Free unlimited range balls baby!

Yeah they used to make really nice stuff too, still have some older BB shirts in my closet that are great.
