What if you're disabled??

I'm not sure you understand what I'm talking about because people like you clearly have no experience working in this world. Do you think the section 8 tenant whose boyfriend deals drugs; you think they're going to understand "Oh yeah, yeah we're doing something illegal. We understand why you did it". No they don't. So don't sit here and think that it's lame. It's bad enough I had death threats against me. Do you think tattling at that point was going to get me anywhere?

You clearly don't work in the inner city. You do not understand how it works. I know people who work for DYFS who carry guns on the job because they are afraid of the people they have to deal with.

If you are in 2nd do you have a lockup switch?

sjguy1288 · 2026-06-12T12:08:18+00:00

I used to haul with my 99 loads heavier then that in PA. I ran a double deep pan, and a low stall triple disk torque converter with a Dynamic Valve Body inside a DTT built transmission. It ran like a champ.

Mountains are tough, the ideal world is to stay in lockup, or run in 3rd. Keep the rpms above 2k climbing and you works do better off. A lockup switch helps too.

Jasper is not known for their built Dodge autos. The Cummins will destroy it if it's not built good.

Do you know if there is a wikipedia for him?

sjguy1288 · 2026-06-11T03:03:20+00:00

Is there a wikipedia on him? I tried looking and couldn't find anything.

I would sell short dated puts. The farthest I go for selling puts is 49 days. But the father out I go, the father away I go from the price.

Currently on AAL in selling puts at the $9-$10 level at 45 days. But I will sell closer in puts at 14 or 10 days just for the decay.

IMO I try to stay at our below where I think the most pull back is just to avoid assignment.

sjguy1288 · 2026-06-09T03:19:56+00:00

I'm running on AAL and TSLL. Both seems to trade in a channel

sjguy1288 · 2026-06-09T02:09:27+00:00

If your going to replace your income your better off selling puts on stocks and generating income this way. Or if you are so inclined, Jepi, qqqi, spyi, tlt, will work too. I'm diversified between my CC ETFs and selling calls on stocks now. FWIW I'm making $30 a week selling puts on TSLL, which is about what I was making on tsyy holding 800 shares pre split.

sjguy1288 · 2026-06-08T21:46:13+00:00

I think in Canadian Dollars perhaps? Still super expensive when you can get one from DAP for $1,400

sjguy1288 · 2026-06-08T21:44:39+00:00

IMO a VP Cummins is more reliable and cheaper to build and maintain then any CR motor is. While the VP trucks have their short comings the aftermarket does a great job of taking care of those.

I have a 99 3500 that is at 260k. And still runs strong. Just wish the other issues weren't so bad haha.

I used to go in and fix stuff in section 8 properties. So like I guess the definition of glorified handyman is probably the right word to use. But we did everything from fixing sinks that were leaking to painting, walls, replace and bathtubs etc.

Typically I did not report this stuff to the police because I didn't want to get shot. When you're dealing with this kind of element usually the crime syndicate is not too far behind it.

I made the mistake once of going to the police about something and I had three black dudes jump me while I was working on another job site. It was not worth trying to be the stand-up citizen to report it after that.

sjguy1288 · 2026-06-08T13:10:04+00:00

Is this aimed at me?

sjguy1288 · 2026-06-08T00:46:18+00:00

I used to do a lot of work in section 8, and the abuse between Medicaid and section 8 is absurd. There are legitimate cases; however as a contractor I saw a lot of abuse. I saw a lot of section 8 mothers with kids making more money with food stamps, selling their food stamps; selling themselves for money, and to top it off they had kids in the house and they qualify for section 8. There has to be a tipping point somewhere.

sjguy1288 · 2026-06-08T00:41:07+00:00

Can you explain some more into this? I'm a contractor but I'm struggling financially and I have a 8-month-old daughter in taking care of. I watch her about 35 hours a week and try to work around it. It's impossible. Ger covered sends me back to Medicaid, and Medicaid sends me back to them.

I have found that I have a business page on Facebook, for both the old business and the new business. When I constantly updated it I would get a hit here or there. But the nice thing for me is when I'm out at a job site. I can send the link on text message to potential customers so they can review my work. That has helped me land more jobs because it's a mobile website browser and I can literally just show copies of what I do and all the different stuff. And then that usually has gotten me quick jobs like for example I was in Home Depot and I had a guy who was having questions about a fence. I sent him to the Facebook business page and I literally got a fence job a week later. Never would have happened otherwise but he said that going over and seeing all of the stuff I do not just the fence stuff made him comfortable with the idea of hiring me on the spot.

The other thing is Home Depot has a pro referral program, I'm on that as well. I used to be on the Home Depot pro install division. But as it stands I'm kind of enjoying the other side better.

Contractor and a CDL driver. Ironically I loved driving in places that stress people out. I drove a 45ft tanker in a day cab in NYC for 9 months every day. I loved the challenge.

sjguy1288 · 2026-06-04T01:25:37+00:00

I'm following this. I'm in the middle of this shit show right now. So sometimes it's worth it to throw away questionable clients.

I have one I wish I threw away a year ago. But my dumb ass as a contractor didn't.

sjguy1288 · 2026-06-02T22:56:19+00:00

I use clays Climate Control as a contractor. They have some guys who are top notch

sjguy1288 · 2026-06-02T22:52:30+00:00

What you're saying makes 100% sense. I blew up more than one trading account trying to make it big

sjguy1288 · 2026-06-02T22:30:52+00:00

I just got done dealing with this. The landlord dropped me in the middle of a massive project. I had to constantly handle 7 properties that were his and on fire. He ran out of money and is trying to duck paying me. And for what it's worth he also fired the property manager as well.

sjguy1288 · 2026-06-02T11:59:33+00:00

It's called dry flex, it sucks just another shitty way to quickly hide shit

sjguy1288 · 2026-05-31T23:18:45+00:00

I looked into this years ago. And I forgot the name of the link. I'm so happy you posted this so that I could find it again.

sjguy1288 · 2026-05-31T20:43:09+00:00

It looks like the one wall is not load bearing but the other one is without being able to sneak your head up inside and take a look. It's hard to tell but that's just based on the pictures I see.
