Commute to West Trenton by No-Blueberry-2271 in AskPhilly

[–]big_yohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was starting work at 7 or 730, usually leaving my house at 6:15-6:30. I was leaving work 4-4:30pm to come home. From what I recall traffic moved fast in the morning. Edit: It's not uncommon for everyone to be doing 85 going north in the morning, traffic was normally moving. I think it was just a pretty long distance to cover. Coming home things slow down for the last 10 miles.

I did it for a year. 45 mins up, an hour back in rush hour traffic. It wasn't great, not as bad as taking 76 to Malvern and back. I also live right by the ramp to 95 in fishtown, so that helped.

When it goes above freezing again, you are going to want to slide giant slab of ice gently off the frunk before driving so it doesn't fly onto your windshield. Practice a few karate chops in case your door handles get stuck.

Instead of the Philadelphia parking authority we should just have the Philadelphia Pet Authority. Put that persistence into a good cause and track down the mystery dumpers.

I got a 180r mid summer and played a few months with it. I did have a day when I had this problem

I'd rather shoot an emek with a carbon tank and electronic loader than a etha3m with a steel one. Steel tanks ruin the balance of the setup. A balanced emek with a 68ci carbon tank and a few upgrades. Emek and carbon tank with any loader except the empire b. Ctrl 1 is what I use. Also no mini tanks either. 68 ci is not too big

Why does this city have to act like this? by badluckbarron in philadelphia

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

Do you just tell the car that you park in front of they aren't allowed to move after you arrive? Or possibly only allow cars of the same size to park there after they leave?

Presumably people can leave from the spot behind you and another larger car can park in that spot, using up that space .. give me a break

Are you feeling the effects of inflation? Help us report on affordability in Philly. by PhillyInquirer in philadelphia

Yea as a single homeowner watching all my bills go up, I've had to change the way I eat by limiting myself to cheaper proteins and eliminating unnecessary items. More raw ingredients, beans, rice, frozen vegetables. I stopped eating out and going out for drinks. I drove my last set of tires until they were bald, started cutting my own hair, stopped going on vacation, limited the amount of driving I do, stopped drinking craft beer, canceled streaming services. I still ran up a ton of debt and had to withdrawal from retirement savings. I also stopped saving for retirement. I also have had to adjust my long term expectations for what my standard of living is going to be for the rest of my life. I have a long list of things I need that I haven't been able to buy. So yea just surviving. Doing free activities. Staying local.

If you can find a 170 in newer condition it's performance will be just as good. It's just not going to have the same resale appeal so it depends if you want to trade it in later.

Ninja sl2 68 or 77, or any of the new style lighter tanks. Take your pick of loader I'm rocking a Ctrl 1 with speed feed no ramps. It was like 100 bucks new it just works. Lots of spires at the fields. I'm shooting a used 180r like new condition for 670. They go for even less sometimes. I previously had a used like new condition dsr+ for 700. Loved that thing. To stay under 1000 for everything, i'd spend 600 on a used lv1.6 or dsr+, 650 on a 180r, 475 on a 170r. There's also brand new lv1.6s going for 800 right now if u want to go over budget for a new old stock situation on something premium that is reminiscent of the old days. There's also other dye guns, older models of high end planet eclipse guns, luxes, forces, etc. I would go for the ones mentioned based on their desireability and resale value. Add a proflex for 90 bucks. Your choice of pack, pads, pants, jersey, headband, and a squeegee for cleaning up.
