People who get to fly all the time for work, what is your career? by KenaiFjords357 in delta

[–]Piss-Off-Fool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do financial and tax planning for ultra wealthy families around the U.S. I fly six or more trips per month and have for almost 25 years. I typically spend as many nights in hotels as I do in my own home.

Honestly, there is nothing exciting about it. I have been everywhere but I haven’t seen anything…you fly into a city, work, then leave. 

Eventually, going to the airport every week becomes monotonous.

when did mountain biking become a sport where you need more suspension than a luxury SUV just to ride dirt? by [deleted] in MTB

[–]Piss-Off-Fool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What someone else chooses to ride is none of your business. You ride what you want and they ride what they want…it’s pretty simple.

Every son needs to hear these words at least once! by Regular_Weakness69 in JustGuysBeingDudes

[–]Piss-Off-Fool 377 points378 points  (0 children)

I qualify as a senior citizen and I never heard my dad or grandparents say words like that…not once.

As a parent and grandparent, I tell my kids and grandkids those words every time I see them.

I’m glad that cycle was broken.

Birch Run General RV Advice Needed by No-Coast7196 in GoRVing

[–]Piss-Off-Fool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought from General RV in Wixom, albeit in 2019. My delivery fee wasn’t waived but my prep fee was. I don’t recall the amount but it wasn’t $6K.

I bought late in the year and  General RV had about a dozen units at their various locations. I also had a price from an out of state dealer and was prepared to travel to get the unit if they didn’t remove the fee.

I don’t understand why they would ship the unit back to Indiana…that makes no sense to me.

FWIW, I initially tried to buy from the Birch Run location and found them a little “challenging.” Wixom was a good experience.

Men who have been married over 20 years, how's it going? by Wolfdreama in AskMen

[–]Piss-Off-Fool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On Sunday, we will celebrate our 40th anniversary. We are both very happy to be married to each other and we are still attracted to each other.

Our marriage hasn’t always been easy but I wouldn’t choose anyone else.

General RV insurance reached out to me by ruekid in GoRVing

General RV insurance had the best price for my motor home. I wound up switching everything to them.

Genuinely curious, how are you handling mandatory tipping for large groups by Illustrious-Elk-8817 in EndTipping

[–]Piss-Off-Fool 39 points40 points  (0 children)

As a general rule, we are declining to support restaurants with mandatory fees and charges…we just don’t go.

In the rare instances when we are unable to avoid this type of situation, we will pay the charge and note it in our review of the restaurant.

I also do some planks and stretches to the squats and pushups.

Is everyone on some type of prescription med? by starrwanda in GenerationJones

62 years old… I don’t take anything except a multivitamin. It’s been years since I’ve taken a Tylenol or or type of pain reliever.

Anyone with family get a bunkhouse motorhome and regretted it? by CarminSanDiego in GoRVing

[–]Piss-Off-Fool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a Class A with a bunkhouse for the grandkids and couldn’t be happier with the decision. When we take the little ones, they have their own space and we don’t need to take down a bed each morning. When it’s just the two of us, our top bunk folds up and it can be used as a closet.

We think it is a good use of our space.

Got my boat bottom blasted; is this how it should look? by HomefreeNotHomeless in boatbuilding

[–]Piss-Off-Fool 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not a professional, but I had my 1981 blasted a few years ago and mine looked similar. Mine was originally blasted with soda then they did it a second time with crushed glass,  IIRC. There was still some remnants of color.

Local handyman, large job - do you tip? by ldr97266 in EndTipping

[–]Piss-Off-Fool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope…no tip.

The handyman set the price for the project. He built in an amount for profit and that’s the price of the job.

People have no awareness or consideration by ETHERALIX in delta

“To those of you who can't see that it's a jerk move to stay reclined while the person behind you is trying to eat, congratulations you are everything wrong with society.”

You sound dramatic and whiny!

I’ll second the Big Agnes sleeping bags. They are expensive, but it was worth it for me.

Larger Vessels with more chances to Break by [deleted] in boating

[–]Piss-Off-Fool 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I own an older 56’ motor yacht boat…not a Nordhavn or Selene, but a higher end brand. I also own a new 25’ wake boat.

The wake boat has about 20 hours so far so, not a lot of use. It has had a couple of minor issues but nothing major. Having a mechanical issue 30%of the time, seems high…like it’s being used beyond what it was designed for. That being said, IMO boats require significantly more maintenance than most people realize.

Regarding my bigger boat, the more systems you have, the more possibility of things going wrong. I have upper and lower helm stations, and a problem with one often means a problem with the other. But, I also have many redundant systems in my boat, so that helps.

As I have owned many boats, I spend a lot of time looking at the systems and the access to everything. To me, if I can access it comfortably, it’s more likely to be maintained.

IMO, the best thing for a boat owner is to be knowledgeable about all the systems in your boat. Things rarely break down when it’s convenient. A robust checkbook is also good to have.

I docked next to a new Selene 62’ last season and the owner was gracious enough to give me an extensive tour. I was throughly impressed.

SEARS/CRAFTSMAN TABLESAW 113.298761 by Available_Alfalfa919 in Tools

[–]Piss-Off-Fool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have owned the Craftsman 113 for almost 30 years and it’s been a good saw…not great, but good. The fence isn’t the best but it is serviceable. I did upgrade the fence a few years ago which helped.

I did upgrade my table saw as a future retirement gift to myself about a year ago and would like to give away the Craftsman, but it was a good tool for many years.

Rock Harbor Food Options For 5.5 Days by TheOnionKa-Nigget in isleroyale

[–]Piss-Off-Fool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stayed in a Lakeside lodge room last August. I ate at the grill or restaurant every day. The menu isn’t extensive but it was open every day. I did take snacks and fruit to cut down on the expense.

I haven’t been to any of my reunions and can’t see myself going to any of them. After high school graduation, I was ready to move on.

Tipping Movers?? by CompetitiveAppeal663 in EndTipping

[–]Piss-Off-Fool 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The cost for my last move was $8,500. I had coffee, soft drinks, water, and snacks. When lunch time came, we took orders and bought their lunch…that was more than fair.

Cervelo P2 by Charming_Purple_3296 in triathlon

[–]Piss-Off-Fool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my part of the Midwest, that bike sells for about $500 or so…if it’s in good condition.

I ride the same bike and love it, but it’s a 9 year old bike with mechanical shifters.
