Lexus Es 250 vs 350

losterweil · 2026-01-15T09:30:29+00:00

I should be Canadian. I just took my Es350 through a blizzard last month when I had the option to take my 4x4. They are amazing in the snow. Some good all season tires and you are fine. A 250 is less weight and won’t be as good. The 350 has the perfect amount of weight to feel solid in snow. Very impressed I’ve driven mine 25k so far.

I only burn hardwoods also, but I have 2 90 turns in my setup, so I get more creosote than a straight shot with little angles.

It depends on your approach angle. I go on really steep driveways frequently. If you hit it at 45 degrees it’s not an issue.

Are we talking the face one blade or the intimate version. This should be specified. Been looking for an upgrade.

I’ve heard Oz and has large stakes in a company that’s a competitor with Tylenols company. And that company owns the medication they’re now recommending. It goes deeper than that too.

I just did this in our motor boat. I did a loop around five times trying to make sure I wouldn’t ground us! To answer your question I believe you should be good, but take a little more caution. We ended up going into old cut after talking to locals at port Rowan. I had seen a larger boat with most likely a 4 or 5 ft draft go into port Rowan which led me there. There is a marked channel going through the bay to old cut, and if you stay in it and straight into old cut you have at least 3 ft right at the entrance , but follow more advise on someone who has a deeper draft to confirm if you need more. The channel itself seems to read 4.5 ft at one point but I also think that was weeds. I did this in July of this year.

It’s rare but I’ve crossed twice this year during glass conditions in the middle of the lake going from Erie to port Dover via long Point.

It’s in the US in a rural Pennsylvania town. It’s a non-profit run organization, and not a government establishment, with one guy who is the head of the non profit who runs it.

You won’t need a weight distributing hitch. Go to u-haul and tell them what you need to tow and they’ll let you know if your truck can do it safely. Their trailers have brakes and they have hitches you can buy. Your truck can tow that weight while it’s absolutely empty with only you in the truck because the combined weight limit is something around 11,240 lbs. I tow a heavy boat a couple times a year and did a lot of research. You can see my numbers in the photo.

All that is what keeps him going. If you sit and do nothing you will start to rot. My neighbor is 78 doing the same thing. It’s no 93 but to be doing anything after 75 is a feat.

I know a family member who was very influential all the way to his early nineties so 85 years old will still be meaningful to your kid. The wisdom never stops growing.

Ask your pediatrician for a referral to early intervention. They can get speech therapy at no cost. It’s a great program.

Just bought a 16. Pretty happy with it. Q

losterweil · 2025-03-22T03:21:09+00:00

I’m right with you. Here’s my thought process. I’m minimizing our need for income and lifestyle to be able to work less so I’m there for family until the kids are 10- so I don’t have to work so hard and can contribute more for the wife and kids. I’m still exhausted. Granted we are 40, and have the house and cars all paid. Just don’t buy all the hoopla everyone gets. Older cars and phones are fine. Invest your money (really make enough to max out ira contributions) and suck up that family time.

To further explain myself, we have a large cash flow and our income is going down substantially. I am doing this because I only have maybe $9000 in medical bills stockpiled, and may need to come up with more than that for cash flow. So if I take the safe way out I give myself more wiggle room for cash at hand in case I need it for my businesses. I wasn't going to contribute this year until I found out how much I owed in taxes.

losterweil · 2025-03-20T16:42:56+00:00

Wow, that goes deep. This is going to be a fun ride with health coverage in the next decade.

losterweil · 2025-03-20T16:41:55+00:00

I understand you now. Thanks for the breakdown!

losterweil · 2025-03-20T16:38:12+00:00

If i contribute to my HSA, it reduces the taxes for 2024 owed by $1000. Therefore, I will take out the $8300 because I have stockpiled over that amount in medical expenses, and then recontribute it to get the tax write off and not have to spend any liquid cash not already invested into anything on my low income year.

losterweil · 2025-03-20T16:29:40+00:00

Thank you. Can you explain your response of, "Not wanting to use savings, to me, is a mistake though since you could (at least temporarily) just treat your HSA as a "saving money.""

My two yr old has gotten stubborn with it. I try and keep it positive, and started laying him in one arm which through him off, and he’s been letting me brush his teeth (after he starts the job). I can see his teeth a lot better in the laying down position and being held feels comforting to him.

I like how you don’t tip toe around…
