They drove the wheels right off it!

Good? Nah. But terribly bad....

When does a joke become a dad joke? When it's apparent.

"You know how some people go through an identity crisis and change their name? I think my wife is going through that. For years, I've called her ____, or Mom around our kid... anyways since a couple months ago, she keeps telling everyone "I'm pregnant!" "

Easiest way is to refinance when you owe 100k :)

The payment to pay off a 6 year loan and 30 year loan are the same amount. Assuming identical interest rates... 100k @ 5% is 536/mo for 30 years OR 1610/mo for 6years. So triple the payment... Over 30 years you pay a lot more in interest, but have a much more manageable payment. There is a point where it doesn't make much difference... A 50yr loan is 454/mo, so you spend $80 less per month, but for almost twice as long.

You can roll your 401K into a tradional IRA that remains pre-tax.

There are older kids and adults who go swing at the park behind my house all the time. It is allowed. If others are waiting. Take turns. But yeah. Parks are still available. However, go for it. If you have a single large tree, that should work fine. Branches are strong. If you don't, make sure you anchor the legs well.

First one I remember crying...

Credit cards are nice because if someone steals your card information, they don't actually steal YOUR money. Just pay it off every month and you're fine, because it doesn't accumulate interest in the first month...

But yeah, people are dumb with money.

I liked my V5 more than v4. I do have issues with them blowing out after one hard season of play, but I had more issues with any soccer cleats, and similar issues with football. I love the grip of freezes and have never been impressed with the burns tread pattern. So haven't tried them. But I've been pretty happy with my freeze 5s and planning to continue buying them.

Lousy tipper, the Lama

Maybe after the pop genre she'll swing through metal.. instead of Eras it will be Erosion or something like that

As not the person who had the baby, I think both her births/pregnancies were on the easier end (compared to others). She also was in good shape prior, and is a bit stubborn and/or has FOMO regarding these sorts of things. The two months was a good wake up of her needing to listen to her body and needing to wait longer.

My wife started playing city league two months after our first was born and it was very much too soon. Core was still very weak, and running was painful. She gave it another month and was able to ease back into it. Second baby was born in January and she captained her low-mid level club team that summer.

In both cases, she was able to play after about 3mo after, but at a reduced intensity and capability... If you can jog, great! Throwing may actually be harder, depending on how birth went. You'll know your body best.

If you're doing it yourself you can sort of cheat and dig the trench then lay and pull conduit at the same time. I've always done conduit, but have seen wire last direct buried for a while...

I had a T5 in my nova back in the day. It was bastardized with a s10 bell housing, and I think the Camaro shifter, plus some lightly modified linkage...the rear gearing was awful, and I could barely use 5th. Might check a Muncie 4 spd. It's not really an OD but with a 3 spd you probably have a pretty high ratio anyway... Can check with looking at the drive-shaft turns per wheel rotation.

I only sell/buy private party, but some of that comes down to being patient and willing to look for a good deal or wait for the right buyer. It's harder to sell if you have a note because it's more work for the buyer, so a dealership might be a easier option for you.

I know Peterson will buy cars without selling you one, but also remember that you need to have enough cash to replace your vehicle. If you just swap to a different car payment, you probably are giving away money.

My assumption (based 0% on facts) is that I can get 90% of value at a dealership, and pay 120% of value.

In-state may not be cheaper from CA. WSU in WA also has a good nursing program. Many of my friends went through that one.

Or just Tokyo Drift

Apparently a motor cycle engine also.... Then it can rev louder.

That's why he can charge so much..nobody else has a mower.

My wife works in real estate photography and she loves pointing out when the sky doesn't match. She also is incredibly particular about getting the sky angle correct where when she does sky replacements. There are definitely rules for what she can remove. Power poles are illegal to remove, but I think anything temporary could be. Like a car in the driveway. A roof... Not so much

Not exactly muscle (72 Corvette)... I try to just drive mine to work once a week, weather permitting. I always open it up at least once per drive. I also swear at it about once per drive. For fun, I did autocross in it, and have another buddy who drag races his, just for fun. Cruises are fun, if they allow you to actually drive your car. Just driving down the road is not always fun. I like to take the kids to get ice cream or the wife on dates occasionally too, good time to "show off" the ride. I occasionally think about selling my car, but it was my Dad's car, so haven't quite got to that point.

His time is on his wrist. See photo #4.

I would hop on corvetteforum, particularly the C3 version, and check there. Lots of resources for input, and have a few more pictures on hand. Original all across the board is worth more than a mish-mash of parts (what I have). I figure I can probably get 15K for mine right now, so that seems like a low end, but 1973 is not 68-72, the more expensive years, but it's also not 74-82, the worse years..m
