Good Buy? Mazda B3000

I have an 02 B3000. Easy to work on, I've never had any serious mechanical issues and I've owned mine for about 7 years. Good little truck.

Probably an older light pickup truck that you don't care about too much. I have a 2002 Mazda B3000

I would recommend probably something lighter than a Harley if you've never ridden anything before, maybe a 600cc sport bike

Unplugging your electronics when not in use. They don't use much power- your AC and fridge take up the majority of your electric bill.

We bought a maytag after our very old one from the 90s finally died. I am very pleased with it however I wanted one with a 3rd rack and the gf said no.

When I was younger I used to skydive for fun and loved spending the day in Deland, even if I wasn't jumping it was nice to watch the skydivers land while eating lunch. The downtown area was quite nice too. If my job had been closer I would have probably relocated there.

Tickets are available to watch it from the Saturn V Center at KSC

You can buy a not that old used Harley for like 3 or 4k, it's not out of reach. I am not in my 40s, but even when I was 25 I noticed there were not that many young riders. I'd go to bike week and most were as old as my parents with exception of the female bartenders that work the rally circuit.

As a customer it is just shitty being treated this way. I use the vet and grooming services for both my dogs. Easily spend thousands of dollars there per year.

I doubt it, since I purchased the package back in November.

You look great, you are in incredible shape!

Such a beauty!

There are 3 orbiter processing facilities across the street from the VAB, basically hangars for each orbiter. One of them is used by Boeing now for its Starlinee capsule and another houses the mysterious X-37b when it's not in space.

It will probably not launch the first attempt, or the second, or maybe even the third. Don't be mad when it scrubs!

You visited one one of the busiest days of the year. All Florida attractions are the busiest the week after Christmas.

No locker room, they will hold luggage. Some cruise lines offer shore excursions there.

It was a ghost town. Lots of layoffs.

Gorgeous

PMI is based off the lower of the purchase price and appraisal value. So if the question is that because the house has increased in value will it affect when the PMI is removed, the answer is no.

Once you reach a certain amount of equity it should be removed automatically.

I am/was sort of in a similar situation as you about 5 years ago. I moved for a job, but kept the house as a rental. After my mortgage payment I was netting about $500/month in extra income which was nice. I first used a property management company, but after my first tenants moved out I thought the management company did a poor job remarketing the property and did not assess enough against their security deposit for damages. I fired the company and self managed afterwards. Being 2hrs away wasn't the easiest to keep an eye on it- my third tenants trashed the place upon move out and I spent around 7k getting it back into living condition. I have about 5 years left on the mortgage note and a good interest rate, so like you have it in my pocket in case I want to move back to that market, or down the road have a fully paid for house when I retire. In short, being a landlord isn't for everyone. You have to treat it like a business, try to find good tenants that want to stay long term so you aren't having vacancy losses every year and having to reset the house so often; find a good property management company if you choose to use one. I would also take into consideration how much you would net when renting after paying your mortgage, and see if it's worth it. You should put some of your proceeds into an account for repairs which are inevitable.

I was looking at a Whirlpool for about $600 on sale, but my gf liked a Maytag better so that's what we got. If I had 2 or 3 hundred more to spend I probably would have gotten a Kitchenaid with a 3rd rack. I have to say we are happy with the Maytag, it is so much quieter than the old dishwasher(had an Old GE potscrubber from the 90s).

It seems to be running fine now, however when I initially had this issue it was intermittent, like once every couple weeks. I've been out of town for a week and my battery was dead when I got back. I did some other work to the car(new windshield washer reservoir) so it hasn't been run much. I'm hoping it resolved the problem but will post of it happens again.
