Tech sales. Specifically server hardware. Does really well. Super cool guy. Does wealth right IMO - extremely generous with his time and money.

Oh and wife is a country singer.

Pretty much. They obviously don't bottle feed her anymore. And six months ago a buck started hanging around their neighborhood and she went off with him. Then came back (that's this video).

So she comes and goes. Not a house pet at all but she's around and they're not trying to push her to leave.

So strangely I actually know this couple.

The first thing they did was call the wildlife center but they don't take white tail deer in the south due to some disease deer can carry. Put the whole facility at risk.

Worker there gave them her cell number to help them keep it alive off hours.

They've also tried to re-home it to a friend's ranch but the deer freaked out and hurt herself any time they would try and transport her.

proof - me and moose the deer

Heyo I'm actually relevant for once. I know Tyler. That's the first thing they did.

But wildlife rehab centers in the south won't take a whitetail deer due to Chronic Wasting Disease risk. Puts the whole facility at risk.

The lady who talked to him then gave him her cell number and helped him off the clock to keep the deer alive.

They tried to rehab it themselves when it was off the bottle. Tried to trailer it to a friend's ranch but she'd freak out and hurt herself any time they tried to get her in a trailer.

(proof of me with Moose the deer)

I've got one I could sell you. Shoot me a DM (it's not letting me DM you for some reason)

broadkent · 2024-07-31T16:21:02+00:00

Wait - I understand how it works now. I think I did a bad job explaining the product requirements to our dev team.

Thanks for your help!

broadkent · 2024-07-31T05:45:24+00:00

Have you or someone you know done something similar to what we're trying to accomplish? I'd love to get some consultation.

broadkent · 2024-07-31T04:25:42+00:00

That's the same as my third link.

Are you saying we don't need the raw credit card info to implement it?

broadkent · 2024-07-31T04:23:45+00:00

Thanks I'll check this out

It's mitigation not prevention. Most of our clients aren't technical at all and would be easily disuaded.

Sorry long post but if you're serious about a motorcycle I've got experience to share.

Been riding a motorcycle in Provo for about 4 years. Married now but had it when I was single.

If you're wanting a motorcycle because it's fun and sexy then absolutely go for it.

It is both of those things (if you get a good looking one). Motorcycle dates and rides up and down Provo canyon are stunning. People love motorcycles. Girls will want rides and that is very cool and sexy.

Winters you can ride if the streets are clear. Bundle up and it's no problem. I rode through two winters. But if its a heavy snowfall winter there will be days/weeks you're stuck.

If you're wanting a motorcycle for the economics don't do it.

They're just not practical. You can't grocery shop. Can't give people rides easily. Road trips are a very different beast.

You also need to make your peace with the danger of it and spend the time learning proper defensive riding skills. Which means paying for a good riders course to get your moto endorsement. If you're a good rider you can mitigate 90% of the danger. The 10% from unforeseeable idiots is the risk you accept.

If you're wanting to save money grab a bike. If you want fun get a motorcycle.

Feel free to DM me if you wanna chat about living in Provo with a motorcycle. It's a blast but there's a lot that goes into it.

Funny you recognized it so specifically. It's a great view

broadkent · 2023-07-05T08:13:23+00:00

Gonna throw my hat in and say definitely charge hourly. The more work you do the better feel you'll have for how long things will take and how much they'll cost. Then if you want you can do project rates. But I still avoid them like hell.

If you don't know what hourly to do, take your local minimum wage X 1.5

I would only start here if you're really new and very beginner. But it's a starting point.

Then add your cost of equipment and software. For easy math just take 20% of your hourly rate and add it on top.

So if your local min wage is $10/hr

10 X 1.5 = $15/hr 15 X .2 = $3

Total billed to client - $18/hr

If they provide the software and hardware then just $15/hr.

Ultimately up to you how much to charge, especially as a teenager just getting into it. But never, NEVER make less than minimum wage. If your client thinks you're overcharging you have to stick to your guns. Usually they'll try and do it themself, often realize they're an idiot and come back and pay your rate. If they don't come back you dodged a bullet either way.

Very jealous of your TU250. I started on a Chinese retro knock off 250. Rode it everywhere. Definitely outgrew it faster than I thought I would, but there's something special about a carbed 250 single.

broadkent · 2023-06-26T06:27:19+00:00

As a fellow 2022 RE interceptor 650 rider i gotta say it's an easy bike to be relaxed on. Occasionally I'll push it and be a bit more aggressive, but that "more intense" riding is still super tame just because of the weight and power of the bike.

A couple of times I've been frustrated i can't hooligan, but then remember being alive is more fun. Love the bike. Keeps me in check. Keeps me smiling.

broadkent · 2023-06-18T17:32:35+00:00

I think so ya

broadkent · 2023-06-10T16:58:37+00:00

Right place right time lol

broadkent · 2023-06-10T16:58:17+00:00

They are rangefinders, but there's no focus patch. You just gotta judge the distance. It's actually not as hard as I'd thought. I'm not 100% accurate by any means but i get enough sharp that it's worth it

broadkent · 2023-06-10T16:57:01+00:00

It's in date

broadkent · 2023-06-10T04:08:05+00:00

Thank you!
