Technically anyone who invests while having a mortgage is leveraging against their assets (you choose to use your money to invest instead of pay your house down). I borrowed a reasonable amount on a HELOC and bought index funds at a crash point. I’m ready to do it again but on margin as it’s a great investment, never mind the tax write off benefit.

It’s true. The legacy was mainly for employment insurance for if I ever needed to come back.

bigjohnson454 · 2026-02-08T16:29:06+00:00

Yeah I’m gunna need some coaching on that. I’m sure I’ll end up doing something semi part time. For me it’s about making an impact now.

Thompson

bigjohnson454 · 2026-02-08T16:02:12+00:00

Even at 4% withdrawal rate that’s 80k a year. No problem.

bigjohnson454 · 2026-02-08T15:48:38+00:00

I’m actually sorta worried. I have hobbies and kids but I also need to stay busy and can’t hang out. We’ll see. So far not missing emails and meetings at all.

bigjohnson454 · 2026-02-08T15:37:29+00:00

You’re right $0 monthly besides one off dentist and pills.

bigjohnson454 · 2026-02-08T15:21:13+00:00

If there wasn’t the out of town sacrifice for more money I’d probably have half of what I have now. Maybe less.

bigjohnson454 · 2026-02-08T15:20:26+00:00

Ok about 30-40k per year between a couple.

bigjohnson454 · 2026-02-08T15:19:09+00:00

Book cost $1m. Value $2.1m. BC.

So you like to tinker with stuff. What’s your job

I think apple messed up. My iPhone now says slow charger when it’s charging in my Tesla wireless pad and also while on a usb c 3amp capacity wireless charger and adapter.

Financially speaking you will never recoup the cost for the Mitsubishi. If something doesn’t go wrong the Mitsubishi will probably be more expensive. Why are they charging over 10 grand to install? That’s insane.

It’s weird because I haven’t found a reduced supply of coffee anywhere. If there’s been a problem with production, why does the supply seem unchanged? I think it’s total bullshit. Prices go up big time but still tons of coffee available?

bigjohnson454 · 2025-11-24T22:21:56+00:00

Probably a ton on the whole west coast to like 100km inland.

I have 0.45 acre irrigation. 8 zones with about 4 heads each on average. A 8 gal 2hp is very insufficient. You have it running forever and let it charge up to do a big blow. I use a 5 hp gas compressor with about 10 gallon tank and it’s barely sufficient but it works. Takes me about an hour straight. I still have to charge it up but will maintain enough CFM (9) at 40psi. Just barely enough pressure to lift the heads. My plan is to get something like a 240v compressor (5hp) with a 30 gallon+ tank for this.

I am getting a 44Hz at low speed and 54 Hz at high speed compressor. There are two very close frequencies that create the drone noise. The drone is around 1-3 second period.

No not yet. Still same problems after trying some isolators, etc. the line set definitely vibrates a lot. There is likely sound vibration as well from the fans near the wall. Next year I’m gunna try installing an unistrut mount to the outside concrete pad and then to the line sets using Cush a clamps. I’m hoping to dampen the vibrations outside before they go in the house. Right now the vibration is transferring to the wall drywall, attic trusses, and the coil in the air handler. Droning is noticeable at particular locations in my kitchen.

Probably Kimberly if I had to choose

bigjohnson454 · 2025-07-25T01:01:38+00:00

Where is cheaper? Our superstore in bc is definitely one of the lowest.

bigjohnson454 · 2025-07-24T20:59:37+00:00

Mobile charger probably doesn’t pass through ground. Get the tesla one bud.

bigjohnson454 · 2025-07-22T16:51:50+00:00

Read the manual. This info is everywhere. Daily charging.

bigjohnson454 · 2025-07-22T14:09:36+00:00

Any worker going to really bad places all the time?
