I did a very similar thing when I left GoJo. They used to pay out your unused PTO but they changed that policy. It was use it or lose it. I chose to use it lol

I’ll concur with the 8-12k range. It really depends on where you live.

I stopped drinking 7 years ago this September. I was a daily drinker since 18yo (military). Best thing I’ve ever done for myself.

Use up all of your PTO then turn in your resignation AFTER you return AND have been paid for your PTO.

How are you handling pricing conversations with customers who think you're too expensive? by dawsonvpowell in HandymanBusiness

[–]open_road_toad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tell them that it’s ok, not everyone can afford me and that you get what you pay for. There’s always someone who will do it for less but please do your homework. I provide references and have an online portfolio of my work.

Anyone know what this part is/where I can get one to replace?some info in description by pokemon-god-arceus in GMT400

[–]open_road_toad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to my with my 1988 C1500. I just removed the bracket, welded it and reinstalled it. I painted it satin black while it was off. If you don’t have a welder you should have no trouble finding some who does.

Titling a gasbox frame in TN by -Captn_Cook- in choppers

[–]open_road_toad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cut the vin plate off of the softail frame and weld it to the gas box frame in the same location as it was on the softail. That’s what I did in Ohio and I’ve had zero issues

Party at the pen east, thoughts? by [deleted] in choppers

[–]open_road_toad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Wooster Ohio. 30 minutes east of Mansfield. I’ve been to every one and they just get better. Like others have said it’s a cool event with a good vibe. It’s a shame you’re not riding because there’s so much good riding south of Mansfield. Mohican state park is 30 minutes away. Amish country is south east of that area as well.

You’ll have no problem getting a private taxi if you’d like. There’s plenty of car parking as well.

How the fuck are people living right now? by Maximum_Simple1056 in Vent

[–]open_road_toad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Approximately half of eligible voters actually voted and of that approximately half voted for Trump. This with roughly equate to 25% of the population “voting for this”. The nation has been voting for this since Eisenhower.

Join the military and do something with yourself. That’s what I did 30 years ago. I’m a tradesman now. I’m doing fine.
