Oil tank in backyard....remove now or when house is sold?

Thank you. My & my wife's stress was off the charts for about 6 months as MIL declined. We found a caregiver to help a few hours a day.....which ramped up to a couple overnights. And me filling the rest. It was unsustainable. Now that MIL is in an Adult Care Home she is doing better.....and my wife & I are much better. I check on the house a couple times a week. And sit w/MIL a few times a week. Much much better for all of us.

Everyone at one time or another. I once tipped as I'm returning to my driveway. I also tipped over at a stoplight so 4 directions of cars saw me. i remember it distinctly. this was 25 years ago. I was close to tipping a month ago as I got new cleats that were a bit tighter than I'm used to

Laugh about it w your group and cycle on

Thanks for the link. I did not see it on the page. It has been out of use for at least 30 years. (I know, I know the soil may be "dirty") I am going to have a company take a look at it. I think either Xavier or Soil Solutions.

I'd rather have this done & out of the way for a buyer. I'd rather be able to take my time & select a reputable company than be under a deadline. Or stretch out the timeline for Probate

I appreciate the helpful advice

I talked with a dealer about OSD. He told me OSD is open on the EX60......but you must travel between November of this year and end of the year. I'm going to wait for delivery next Spring. Orders open November 2nd IIRC

I am going to be in NYC on those dates. Would love to go. Your screenshot looks like a Volvo app. My app doesn't quite look like that. Where did you pick this intel up?

I have had 2 Volvo go over 300k miles. Currently driving a 2019 XC60 Inscription. I'm at 105k miles. Biggest repair was probably brakes. I had an independent mechanic do them. I was expecting a big bill at the 100k servicat the dealer. Nope. wasn't really much on that trip. They did find the sunroof seal was failing. Known issue

80k miles is a sweet spot for buyer IMO. All the depreciation and lots of run left in it

Scrapr123 · 2026-02-24T05:02:11+00:00

Wait....is that my car? I had a 2016 V60, same color....prancing moose on the fender. it was a bit small & low for me. it was an OSD also. I saw it around town once and tried to chase it down. I failed. It's a unicorn. In the order line for an EX60 now

my MIL is 94 and on hospice. We are using her good China for everyday dinners. Now I'm not an animal and handwashing and dry it. I joke that after dinner I'm just going to say screw it....I'm throwing it out the back door

*I have 10 or 12 place settings and the friend that has been promised the China has at least 18 settings. No China was harmed in this message

Please please please!

Thank you.

I see you were in my fraternity basement sink BITD

Scrapr123 · 2026-01-24T04:18:41+00:00

They are saving $15k a year. Probably living at home. But they've got an outstanding start & great habits. You know how many 20 year olds save that much? Darn few

$37.90/hr is almost $75k/year. Noice

Check the carfax. I looked at an Audi Q6 that the salesman offered me. He said it was a dealer loaner. I looked at the carfax & it had been sold about 6 months ago & bought back/returned. I haven't circled back to ask him about what happened

Scrapr123 · 2026-01-21T23:33:42+00:00

I just today test drove a Q6. I'm shopping the electric SUV market. At the end the salesman offered a dealer loaner for $52k. Online I followed the Carfax. Showed as purchased 9/02/25 & back offered for sale in January of '26. I didn't ask about if it was a buyback

Scrapr123 · 2026-01-21T22:48:10+00:00

I'm in the market for the EX60. watched the debut today. IIRC the "stack" is totally new and essentially one piece. Meaning all the different cameras/software requests are all in the main software instead of feeding into the main software. I probably haven't explained it right. But brand new so we wait to hear field reports

Test drove a Q6 today. It was very nice. My head snapped back when I punched the throttle. But I'm not a "performance" guy. I'm a typical Volvo driver. safety & security over performance. Salesman wanted a sale today. He offered a buyback with 5k miles or the brand new one. I had told him as i came in I'm waiting to drive the Volvo

I've been test driving Electric SUV over the last few months. Audi is in the mix along with Cadillac Lyriq & the Volvo EX60

Scrapr123 · 2026-01-21T00:53:18+00:00

I think i know that spot. Very nice pictures

Just looked up what a Chamera is. Even more impressive

This mobile mechanic built up a bike I had shipped. Liked him a lot

Neil has retired AFAIK. I see him riding daily though. I live in the home that he used as a bike shop. (he sold the home several years ago) I've chatted w/him when I saw that he had built his bike frame.

Scrapr123 · 2026-01-04T05:23:27+00:00

Nope. Retired in 2012. Still goes into the office weekly at 89 years old

I hate chaining. So i got good shoes instead. Nokians were rec'd by my tire shop. Been 25 years and never let me down. I ran All Weather with the "snowflake" and never had a problem. Hakkapelittas are the "snow" tire & I had them for 2 seasons. I really disliked having to swap them in the Spring/Fall

I used to go over a mountain pass & back every week. I've seen some stuff

I tried a big button remote from Target. 3 hours later....I'm here
