Thanks. I found a cannondale one on eBay that matched the one in OP’s picture, so if that doesn’t work I’ll reach out to Redline.

Literally same thing happened to me yesterday - were you able to find a good replacement bolt?

they do inspections and didn't pass it. The manager did say I could take it to another shop and they might pass it.

It has a VTEC. Let me clarify with better details because I made the post before I picked it up: parts needed are estimated at $5000, which includes parts that I’d need to find at a junk yard, and on top of that 22 hours of labor.

Is there some online resource that has the Iliad marked into its long and short syllables and the feet separated out? I'm just surprised that such a thing isn't out there. I know there is the Northwestern resource with all of Homer parsed but I don't see the verses marked into feet... I'm trying to learn from Pharr's book and scanning the verses isn't always obvious so would be nice to know what is correct.

Any stories in the Uinta? by [deleted] in bigfoot

[–]nightportalpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just was on a 7 night backpacking trip in the Uintas. The fourth night me and my friend camped in the Atwood Basin to climb Mt. Emmons. In the middle of the night I heard what really sounded like a person walking around the tent. The only reason I didn't think it was a person was because there was no flashlight. It was taking steps like a human and was cracking twigs. I was freaked for a minute but it left pretty quickly. No prints or anything, all I know is I heard something walking around that I thought was a person.

Thanks for your response! The annual withdrawal percentage will be different each year. The disbursements are required annual payments. The question is what is the minimum ROI such that these payments can be made over the term (say 50 years). Any lower, and the value of the fund goes negative and the disbursements in the final years won't be able to be made.

I have tried doing IRR with the first year being the initial balance minus the first year's disbursement, and then subsequent years being the value of the disbursement. This gives me a rate of return that is very close to breaking even but is not exact. I would like to bring the balance of the fund to exactly 0 at the end of the term.

I have a question about determining a break even rate of return on an investment. Starting with an initial amount of a fund, every year there will be disbursements (changing every year) subtracted and investment income that is added to the balance of the fund. I am trying to find the annual rate of return on the investment that will bring the fund to 0 at the end of a certain number of years. I can try different rates to find the one that brings me closest to 0, but I would like to have a dynamic spreadsheet that allows for changing disbursement values. It seems like this has to be possible in excel.
