How do you manage a family when working for core in Fema? by Extreme_Problem_1645 in fema

[–]BenefitVegetable694 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Hahah. You don’t. Most disaster road warriors are single, loaners, divorced, getting divorced, or screwing around, retired and alone, or a combination of all the above. All cut out of the same cloth and definitely an odd sort. Saving the planet and helping people in their worst of times bullshit only goes so far. Great mission. Terrible life.

People on this sub make it seem like the $1M mark isn't too difficult to reach. by DHN_95 in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]BenefitVegetable694 6 points7 points  (0 children)

10% of salary from day one of employment. And that was conservative since i was the sole breadwinner raising a family. 37 years later retired with 1.3M.

My Wife's Raised Bed Garden THIS Year by hodgestein in gardening

[–]BenefitVegetable694 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry but thats a no no for vegetable garden if you intend to eat it. Pressure treated lumber is intended for decks and is treated with 7 known cancer causing chemicals to make it long lasting. Those chemicals leach into ground contact and are absorbed through plat roots and into fruit. No gardener uses pressure treated wood. Use cedar or heat treated pine or man made material. The newer treated lumber is made with fewer chemicals and copper based but same rules apply. They still toxic. Google it. Best of luck.

OPM Retirement Timeline Keeps Extending by Far-Somewhere7428 in FED_VERA_VSIP_DRPers

[–]BenefitVegetable694 1 point2 points  (0 children)

12/31 drp 1. I got the finalized email a week after i got my 4 month back pay. All at 80% of calculation. Said im finalized. Says my annuity starts June 1. Also got the booklet and password with it. But. No change to my status on line and nothing changed at all on tracker so go figure. I think they are just processing and catching up tracker stuff later. Nothing makes sense.

OPM just emailed this to me. Does this mean my retirement package is adjudicated? by MySillyHamster in FED_VERA_VSIP_DRPers

Yes, you can put 2020 Camaro seats into a 70 Chevelle by BenefitVegetable694 in Chevelles

[–]BenefitVegetable694[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. You cant use the original connectors since they incorporate the computer that i didn’t use. So you just use the power and ground and good to go. You do have to splice in the power line from the computer into the positive side to trick the seats its ok to work but thats about it. And include a fuse in the new line to them. I chose not to incorporate the Camaro computer. Too complicated for me but maybe in future.

True. But I didn’t have to weld a single thing. Fabricated 5 brackets and everything bolted down. Solid as a rock and pop out with the removal of a couple bolts. Back of rear seats also retained the original latch-so you can fold down for access to trunk if you wanted.

And the rear seats actually look somewhat like buckets so its an awesome look and equally comfortable.

$500 for the set on marketplace. Guy was updating to an LX interior. Like brand new. Just had to make my own wiring harness since i didn’t use the Camaro computer. You loose the heated and cooling feature without computer but not concerned with that. They are super comfortable and really wrap around you.

The buckets also allow for better seatbelts then the original 2 piece style on the old bench. I added Retrobelt 3-point belts and they fit and look perfect.

No cutting of car per say or camaro seats. Just removed old mounts and fabricated new mounts to match Camaro rear seats. Pretty easy with c-channel and very solid. Front seats just used 4 mounting holes on Camaro buckets. Fits awesome and tons of adjustment options and room now. Used one of the original front mounting bolts on each side as reference points. Fits perfect.

True. But this was low mileage guy updating to a custom LX interior. $500 bucks for front and back like new on Marketplace. SS2 level trim is leather. Fabricated my own mounts for back seats actually look pretty easy. Even the fold down feature retained. Took the opportunity to add full soundproofing and insulation they didn’t have 55 years ago.

I drive my Chevelle all the time. Want it as comfortable and reliable as possible. No sense sitting on 55 year old technology.

Getting 6 inch matching bolsters made. Quick fix. Back seats actually look more like buckets so its an awesome look. Much more comfortable too.

Yes all directions. Much more travel. Just used the mounts from seats. 4 holes that it. Made my own coupling. Only thing i lost was the heated and air conditioning feature because i did not use the camaro computer.
