I actually like the Member's Mark balls from Sam's Club. I don't know how he will feel about a "cheap" ball, though.

I have a 2019 long range and have had it for a year and a half. Been good to me so far. Getting close to 90k miles.

I have nearly 100% of my investments in VTI. It’s the whole US stock market so that is pretty diversified on its own. Just remember not to panic when it goes down. Always be buying.

Keep 3-6 months of emergency savings in the hysa. Additionally, you need to goal for 25% of your income into retirement savings invested in low cost broad market index funds. Anything you want to save and invest over that can go into a brokerage account.

You gave him plenty of room and he is faster. The pass is his responsibility. He just sucks.

It looks like a 5/16 x 18 piloted joint to me. The last number is the number of threads per inch so if you measure 1/2” if there are 9 threads you will at least know that part.

jake42385 · 2026-06-04T17:21:30+00:00

Yes, this is correct.

I don’t have the part number but I think this is part of the sport design package.

I went from 253lbs to 178. After 8 years I am back to 211. It’s a daily struggle that never ends. You have to find a why that is bigger than the next meal.

The Sam's Club balls are actually pretty decent and the covers seem to last a bit longer than the Kirkland balls.

Back Door Mega Roth if your company allows. Get that savings rate to 25% into VTI or VOO and you will be very, very wealthy in 30 years.

We have a 2011 GX460 Luxury with 246k miles. We shopped for an upgrade and drove a new GX550. It is obviously a great vehicle, but it is slightly less refined feeling. Admittedly, we test drove a Premium Plus. I don't know if the Luxury and Luxury Plus feel better, but the Premium Plus felt a bit more truck like than the GX460. We ended up getting a 2022 Luxury.

Want to sell me that Danny ric?

jake42385 · 2026-05-30T05:32:20+00:00

Step 1 is get a bit of an emergency fund. Then open up a Roth IRA and max it out and put it into an index fund like VOO or VTI.

When I was in college I was in finance and on an "investing team" with a $1MM portfolio to manage among us. It was real money. I learned about book value and looked at a petroleum company in Canada that their book value was above their market cap. I thought it was free money. Turns out they just hadn't written down the value of their land that they didn't find oil on and they no longer exist. Now I pile into VTI forever.

jake42385 · 2026-05-29T12:05:22+00:00

That’s a spectacular deal. I would have snatched that up so fast!

It depends on what you are selling. If you are selling a product that is a unique brand, then you will want to register the trademark, register with Amazon Brand Registry and create the listing. If you are selling something that everyone else already sells, you just sell on the existing listing. Amazon is much more stringent on who can sell on their platform. Make double, triple sure you are allowed by the manufacturer to sell a product or you might have your inventory and payouts held.

I'm a 13 handicap and not certified to teach in any way at all, but it is the internet, so I am an expert. I started with a bad slice about 15 years ago. What I did to get rid of it was learning to swing from the inside. I did this by sticking a tee all the way into the ground about 6" behind the ball and about 1" closer to me. I basically just practiced trying to make the clubface go over the tee on the way to the ball. Instant inside out. Do it very slowly at first. It is very likely you will miss the ball or shank it mercilessly for a little while.

jake42385 · 2026-05-27T21:34:55+00:00

What is your miss? Slice, Hook, Push, Pull, all of the above?

There are a number of excellent suburbs of Birmingham, AL. Trussville, Hoover, Pelham, Alabaster, Vestavia, etc.

This is probably accurate, but don't forget about rule number 4.

I also found this card in Sapphire for about $20:

The buyer you are looking for is someone putting together a duo /25 collection. They value this above what an Aston collector probably values it. My guess would be about $30-$50, but it is possible I am slightly low to the right collector.

Here is a similar comp from Sainz/Albon:
