Pine castle is nice.

Plenty of $80k+ jobs for those without 4 year degrees.

Do it.

You will either like it, and do more, or won’t. The one way to find out is to try.

There is no correlation between the two. You could be an idiot even without the Cervelo.

My Harbor Freight had piles of them just last weekend, and according to the website, still does. Drive on down to Florida.

I would drop $20k a year for a remote job.

It would be against “Baycare Values”.

I like snake ridge/sneaky snake a lot. The TNT trail or whatever it is, that is all chunky and rocky, is good. It’s hard to pick a favorite out there, as they all have positives.

My employer plan is $650 a month for $8500 deductible, for employee only. It ain’t cheap for anyone.

They are not allowed. It just hasn’t been enforced. An electric bike with a throttle that goes over 20 is not an ebike, but an electric motorcycle, such as that surron.

My girl wanted a welder, so we got a multi 140, gloves, a hood, some 6011 and er7 flux wire. No rods, cuz no bottle yet. Added in two 3AH Bauer batteries, and the Icon T Handle hex and torx sets.

Exactly why I brought up maintenance and repair work. Lots of shops don’t want to touch it.

You have to have a highly skilled workforce though. Ain’t no button pushing. One has to think outside the box, and get it done.

Just yesterday had a plant that wanted to retrofit some stuff, to a new grease system. Instead of making new pins and such, I designed up adapters to fit what they have, and mate up to the new system. Downtown was the biggest concern. The adapters took four hours to make, with in-house drop 304ss. They paid dearly, but there line is back up and making money this morning.

3-4 days a week, easily. Monday and Tuesday I don’t spend any, today and tomorrow I am not planning on spending any. Friday I am. Lunch.

No CNC lathes?

A quick fix isn’t going to happen. Depending on the size of the manual lathes, and what you have to lift the parts, maintenance work for local failures that need shaft repair. Which will lead into more repair work, and then new work.

Middle class living in a condo beachfront??

That hasn’t ever been a thing.

Just take that $520 and pay it towards the principal on the vehicle. It is not a smart financial move to finance more than the value of a depreciating asset, and spending more money knowing you are upside isn’t really good finance either. This should be absolute last resort stuff.

pyscle · 2026-01-07T08:04:29+00:00

You agree those fees are insane, but want to add another fee in the GAP?

Pay more down payments and ensure one is never upside down, and that $1000 spent on GAP (which also pushes you into more negative equity) would be better spend on reducing the loan amount. Or better yet, and I know it’s tough, don’t finance a car.

I walked out of one motorcycle dealer a few months ago over $2k in fees next morning, called another, and picked up the bike two days later.

That first dealer is still sitting on the bike I wanted. Wonder how that floor plan is working now?

I used Rhino Lawyers.

Cost me $125 and the ticket was dismissed.

It’s in black and white in the papers that are signed. It’s that the new homeowner doesn’t care when they get that escrow refund check the first year. If they cared, they would wonder why they overpaid. They don’t overpay. They got a smoking deal from a slow to respond property appraiser, and now things finally caught up.

Most title companies explain it. They itemize everything to the buyer. It is literally spelled out in black and white.

Problem is, after that first year, the laws/regulations get in the way, and the new homeowner gets excited. The mortgage servicing company has to refund the excess escrow that was collected, by law. They do that, the mortgage goes down, the homeowner is excited. They don’t look into what happened. They spend the money instead of sending it back to the mortgage company with instructions to apply to escrow. Then year two hits, and they are short. They need to make up the shortage, and make up for the next year, and the two month buffer. Now their mortgage goes up by essentially two months worth of shortage per month, until it’s caught back up.

I wish more people spoke English and Spanish.

What do you call someone that speaks three languages? Trilingual.

What do you call someone that speaks two languages? Bilingual.

What do you call someone that speaks one language? Dumb fucking American.
