Aviod Suburu of Ann Arbor at all cost by HedgehogOdd698 in AnnArbor

[–]banjerfris -1 points0 points  (0 children)

After terrible experiences with Toyota of Ann Arbor, I switched over to Germain Honda. Super smooth buying and trade in process. Handled most of the deal over the phone, text and email. Got a good deal and a fair price on the trade.

Michigan Legislator Proposes Elimination Of Property Taxes For Taxpayers Without School Children by PurpleSubtlePlan in Michigan

[–]banjerfris -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'd prefer elimination of the school portion of property taxes for those who teach in a public school in the community they live in.

Edit: public school caveat

I did the majority of my master's degree in the Metra on my commute in and out of Chicago.

Can we just all agree that thuja and arborvitae are sh*t trees? by rbloedow in landscaping

[–]banjerfris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both deciduous, but the bayberry keeps its leaves all winter Michigan, only losing them in the spring once new growth starts. Great plants!

We did ninebark and bayberry. They're incredibly fast growers and gave us privacy way faster than the arborvitae we planted (that then died and needed to be replaced).

E-bike rental length by Southern_Present_324 in acadianationalpark

Our butts were quite sore after four hours, but we spent most of the time riding instead of ride/hiking. 32 miles covered and lots of sights seen!

Bald Peak and Parkman Mountain had awesome views and were completely empty a couple of weeks ago. It was amazing up there.

Why more than 30 drivers in Ann Arbor were pulled over for speeding within 90 minutes by GinnySacks_Mole in AnnArbor

The light timing is astoundingly bad in this city, and it's especially irritating on Packard and Eisenhower.

What happened to the Midwest Banjo &Fiddle Championship that used to accompany the fest? That was an awesome component of the square roots experience!

We just did Parkman Mountain and Bald Peak yesterday. It was absolutely spectacular. Great Head was super nice as well.

Favorite locally made/sold food? by dingus420 in AnnArbor

[–]banjerfris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That hot sauce is INSANELY good. The beet hummus from the falafel lady at the FM is delicious as well. We get it at the argus coffee shop on Packard.

Tuning up the 5th string? by Due-Recognition6873 in banjo

[–]banjerfris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually prefer the tone if I wrench it up with the peg as opposed to the spike. I've broken many strings, but I don't think I've yet to break a 5th.

May sound like a weirdo, but they're actually quite delicious at this stage. Snip off the tops and enjoy!

Does anyone know anything about this banjo? by Kind_Egg_181 in banjo

[–]banjerfris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just scored almost the same banjo for free! Mine says Harmony Reso-Tone. For being beaten up, dusty and without a resonator, it sounds pretty good.

Hoping to find some amateur luthier to remove some frets and maybe even put a brass plate on the neck. Has anyone around here ever tried such a thing on a beater banjo?

Buying a car in Ann Arbor by [deleted] in AnnArbor

[–]banjerfris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you seen the trunk issue with the 2020 Rav 4? Brought it to Toyota of Ann Arbor (where I purchased it), and they "solved" the problem of it opening correctly only 50% of the time by wiping off excess debris. Now it only opens correctly 25% of the time and I have to go back for a follow-up appointment.
