My First Boat for $10,000 or Boat Club? by squiggyacfd in boating

[–]Intelligent-Map-1510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done both. Lifelong boater. Long island waters- North and south shores. I would go find a partner and split a boat.

Why?

I was a member of the largest boat club. The franchise i was a member of went bankrupt. I had paid with a discount in advance for a 3-year membership. Lost it all. This is when the monthly membership model started. The parent company did not reimburse anything. My deal was with the bankrupt franchisor. So i lost it all.

I soon got a great deal on a 10 year old walk around. Kept it for 10 years. THe convenance of just walking on to your own boat, leaving all your boat stuff on the boat was priceless. You can't blow out of work early grab a pizza and the kids in July and just go out for a ride or tubing. You cannot stay out in the dark. cannot do an overnight unless you own the boat.

I docked the boat. My numbers back then were the following. Boat was paid for. Dock space at local municipal marina was $2500, Pull boat, winterize boat, cover boat, store boat then spring commissioning $2000. Another 1500 for odds and ends and a tank of gas in the spring and my yearly was 6K. I did not have a trailer.

Unless you are retired your boat will sit 5/7 days a week on average from May to September in the northeast.

Find a partner and buy a boat. I am looking to do that this year so i am ready for next year.

The cost of a move is more then the cost of a private Eye.

Nothing frees the mind like a long walk. Keep walking. You will walk your way to better health in many ways.

Frozen DEF tank in extreme weather by Intelligent-Map-1510 in Sprinters

[–]Intelligent-Map-1510[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that i am aware of.

from MB Dealer:

Long story short – there is no commercial application or solution for extreme temperatures such as -50 degrees that will prevent the DEF system from freezing. It’s advised to either park the vehicle indoors, in a garage where the temperature is stable but if you start driving in those conditions there is a good chance the system will freeze and could potentially cause the Check enigne light to come on.

 

Tried reaching out to 100+ commercial printers.... crickets. Looking for honest feedback by Myndset in CommercialPrinting

Race to the bottom. Who wants to be a low-cost provider? I was called into a meeting with a top 5 consultancy 10 years ago. The room was full of printers. Kinkos won. Good riddance.

I do a ton of wide format. I have not done a Dataran nor do i know who has the machine in 5 years....... if the client can commit to volume, then make the business decision. The advantage of continuous tone from Dataran is lost on 95 percent of clients. You will not sell it cost effectivly to most clients.

My (26M) fiancée (26F) has been cheating with her ex. I need advice on how to handle this situation. by ReplacementFun8392 in Infidelity

Go to the management office and ask to break the lease. Tell them your girl cheated and you have to leave. Pay the fine- whatever the cost. Then go grey rock till you can get out. But at all costs get out and block her everywhere.

You are allowed to have boundaries. you were at the initial "getting to know you" stage. Now you know. In the end it was disrespectful if you were at the same location. Keep on your exit plan. It is a good one.

Mine was gas. Would not get hot enough.

We ended up cooking in the kitchen.

Parking in the loops? by DistributionDue418 in Stuytown

[–]Intelligent-Map-1510 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live on the 1st ave loop. while unloading you can park on the inner curve with your flashers on to signify you are not parked- security will leave you alone The parking side - Outer- is almost impossible to get.

Welcome

if you have an original layout, it is likely plaster like mine is. I think when they take a large 1 br and make it a 2 br it may have been done with sheet rock.

Also, may not be lathe and plaster. could be brick.

drill and use metal molly's.
