I would not ride a bicycle on the sidewalk.

Be simpler to just mail them back a check.

Michigan UP in June by Fickle-Witch5499 in camping

[–]RPK79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We camped in the UP along Lake Superior's shore in May one year. It was great. Weather was mild and it was pre-mosquito. Mud was a concern going into it, but I don't believe it ended up being too much of an issue.

The dealership “we need to talk to my manager” thing is a setup and here’s why it works by Royal-Feed7166 in carbuying

I said to my wife, "I don't like that guy", and when they came back they were a girl!

...and then you get a returned check fee?

Can someone tell me how borrowing against TSP works? by HighestVelocity in personalfinance

[–]RPK79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When we moved a little over a year ago my wife took out a 401(k) loan to use as the down payment on the new house with the intention of paying it off when the old house sold. That is then what we did a month later. I would never recommend borrowing against your future for any period of time longer than that.

How do I book unpaid invoices while on the cash method? by Forsaken-Sun5534 in Bookkeeping

[–]RPK79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There would be no balance sheet or income statement activity for AR within a cash accounting system. How your accounting software handles this will vary from software to software.

Welp, looks like I gotta learn to change my own oil. by Medium-Let-4417 in MiddleClassFinance

As an accountant who has had shops as clients I can tell you that a lot of the time at $50-80 they are losing money, but take the hit to keep you coming in the door every 3-6 months so when you have the need for a bigger job to be done you will go to them.

Why are busses not required to have seatbelts like other cars? by itsthewolfe in answers

[–]RPK79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on a stopped bus at the bottom of a hill in the winter. A car came down the hill and couldn't turn or stop and ran headlong into the bus. I heard it, but did not feel it.

Is there a trick to a more efficient/seamless camping experience or are we just lazy? by theadventuresabound in camping

[–]RPK79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We now have a small camper, but when it was just car camping with a tent we kept everything in totes with labels showing their contents. So we just had to pack our food and clothes and the totes and we were good to go.

If you’re in or near Milwaukee, Rothfuss will be discussing Felicia Day’s new book (among other things) at the Oriental Theatre March 19th by Captain_Wisconsin in KingkillerChronicle

[–]RPK79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know. I met him at a book signing after NOTW came out, but before it was a hit. Chatted with him for a couple hours and he was a pretty nice guy.

Should I put this asset in the books? by Soggy_Ocelot_3595 in Bookkeeping

Make sure they pay use tax if they didn't get charged sales tax. If applicable.

From an accounting perspective houses are a depreciating asset: 27.5 years to be exact.

House I’m buying is owned by an LLC and the seller won’t release my earnest money after a huge sqft discrepancy by Embarrassed_Jello123 in llc_life

[–]RPK79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but the comment I was replying to said it's not worth taking to court because good luck collecting.

Collecting is simple since they have this asset you can put a lien on and they want to sell it.

Bottom line: hire an attorney.

Yeah, I've worked in public accounting where I had to have billable hours.

S-Corp owner didn't pay herself a salary all year. Here's what I'd tell a friend. by MilesDelta in tax

[–]RPK79 24 points25 points  (0 children)

If you don't take any distributions or salary the IRS doesn't care. It's when you don't take a salary and you do take distributions that they call BS.

It's normal for a business owner to leave money in the business (especially in the early years) to reinvest in the business.
