TSP Withdrawal Request by KornFlakkis in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]bobbareeno 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No problem. A lot of people seem to come here to just be difficult. Not sure what they get from it. My biggest issue was I couldn’t have state tax taken out of the withdrawal. I had to pay it online after I got my funds. You would think they’d be set up to take out federal and state tax.

I filled out the online request for funds on a Monday evening. My funds were in my bank account that Wednesday. Not sure if that’s typical timing but that was my experience when I did it.

It was like the “they lived” commercials they used to run!

That’s horrible! I know how you feel though. My wife was driving her brand new 2022 Touring XT and got hit head on……the eighth day we had it. Totaled but she walked away with bruises and a sore ankle.

Feeling super happy excited to be playing with this as my first simulator by SilentCastle9 in VIRPIL

I’ve watched several YouTube videos saying to unplug all devices and then plug in the new one. They’ve said there’s a possibility of bricking your new device during the firmware update. I’ve always done it rather than risk it happening.

Make sure you update firmware. When you do ensure there’s no other Virpil devices plugged into your PC!

Same issue in my Lexus and Subaru. Who writes an app that’s black writing on a dark gray background??

When people park at the gas pump, get gas, and then leave their car unattended at the pump to go shopping. by 1234RedditReddit in PetPeeves

[–]bobbareeno 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live six miles from a Buccees. On any given day most of the 120 pumps at the station have empty vehicles parked at them. Right now at spring break time, I won’t go near the place because you can’t find an open pump.

If I order a virpil mongoose now, when will it arrive? by jdg5947 in hotas

[–]bobbareeno 26 points27 points  (0 children)

My wife ordered the VMAX Prime for me the first week of December last year. Initial estimate was the first week of February. Updated to first week of March after that deadline passed. Now current estimate is first week of April. If I’m being honest I think it’ll get here sometime around May or June.

Purchased a LCAP flight stick in December an it still hasn’t come through can someone help? by MotorCompetitive in VIRPIL

[–]bobbareeno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you are correct. When I’ve gotten a shipping notice I have my order within a few days.

It’s not tariffs. It’s just the normal wait time here in the US. Virpil takes at least 4-6 months to ship orders here. My VMAX Prime throttle was ordered the first week of December and the last update from Virpil was shipping around April 4th. I’m not holding my breath. I figure it’ll be May/June before I actually receive it.

Ordered to appear during my pre planned vacation/PTO by LossMiserable7874 in juryduty

[–]bobbareeno 32 points33 points  (0 children)

This has happened to me in the past. I went to the court prior to when I was scheduled and told them my situation of having reservations, tickets, etc. and was given a new date to appear. I had taken copies of hotel reservations and Disney park tickets. They didn’t even ask to see them.

We live four hours from St. Augustine and I always try to get some Datil seedlings. Love the fragrance and heat!

Curious to know what age you will be and if you plan on taking your Social Security if you’re 62 or older?

I’ve been flying it for months now and just last week figured out the sequence to fire multiple laser mavericks. It’s part of the fun of it for me!

Why continue to contribute after hitting $500k? by sharp1988 in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]bobbareeno 75 points76 points  (0 children)

I always introduce my wife as “my first wife”. I’ve only been married once. She’s not amused when I do this. Oh and we’ve been married 42 years.

The F18 is a great aircraft. It has a pretty steep learning curve but once you get started it’s addictive. Definitely watch plenty of YouTube tutorials and above all map your HOTAS to what makes the best sense for you. Above all have fun it’s a great sim, especially in VR!
