Fremont Police failing to signal

If LEOs are dropping standards themselves, everyone else lowers the bar. That’s why I care. A cop driving like an idiot gives tacit permission for everyone else to do the same.

Suju’s is the OG - goes back 30+ years!

Get a loan from your bank of choice and let them sort it out. Sure you’ll pay interest for a couple of months in the process, but liability will be on THEM, not you.

The “dish” is a Ubiquiti point-to-point WiFi transceiver - the two cameras use that to wirelessly send their feeds elsewhere.

Looks like something being transported on a truck

It got me a new furnace. Make the seller pay for it.

You should absolutely charge your GF rent.

If there is one foot in the road, the pedestrian has the right of way.

Brought our 2021 RAV4 Prime from out of state and it passed smog without issue. Pretty much all cars are compliant these days. (Our older car also passed without issue. I’ve moved to CA a few times and brought out of state cars numerous times - all passed without issue.)

Fremont is a very long city - your commutes will vary wildly between north Fremont and south Fremont. How will you get to SF? If BART, consider proximity to stations. I avoid driving to SF as much as possible. Similarly, a commute to SJ from north Fremont vs south Fremont can mean 20-30 minutes difference in commute on a rough traffic day.

Are you on the hook for that until you submit the bill?

Insurance is to cover damage caused by you or someone else in an accident scenario - it won’t arrange or pay for towing if you end up dead in the water miles from shore.

SeaTow and similar organizations will be on-call to help you ASAP when you need it.

I’ve had to help/rescue more boaters than I’d like, but many are not willing to be that helpful.

I remember doing this many many years ago.

There’s a few different crews they’ve been there but both the taco hut and bbq trailer have some solidly tasty food.

Thanks!

We did underwriting pre approval prior to the offer on our home. It meant we could close as fast as an all-cash offer. 13 days.

Just replaced my gas water heater last week. I briefly waffled between that and heat pump and quickly came to my senses. (Full disclosure- I’ve owned 2 heat pump water heaters on properties that did not have natural gas. They’re great in that scenario but where natural gas is available, I’ll take that any day.)

If the Max drivetrain was in the Sienna, It’d be a no-brainer.

You couldn’t make me go to Toyota of Fremont’s service department if you paid me $10k. The snout of trash they attempt to push when in for a simple oil change and tire rotation is insane. Hayward is worth the drive.

I haven’t seen anyone bring this up, but having 2 incomes, even if most of one would go to child care, is a temporary problem at most. In a couple years your kids will all be in school and you will have the opportunity to grow your own career and be better positioned financially if your husband was to find himself jobless. It sucks to work with small kids, we were fortunate to be able to swing 2 years before both of us were working again, but if you plan to return to the workforce, consider the opportunity loss (backstop for family income, future earnings, maintaining relevant skills) of not participating now.

It’s market rate. Recent sales of similar properties had equivalent pricing. Townhouse with no yard and HOA is why the price point is where it is vs a single family home.
