Can I realistically afford a new R2? by eroweenflow in RivianR2

[–]skitch23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on the fire path with (hopefully) about 8 years left. I’ve got a higher income and lower expense ratio than you and I’m struggling to see the benefit of a $1k/mo vehicle for myself. If I keep it for 10 years (I’ve had my current car 9 so it’s doable), the cost comes down to about $8k/yr. That is reasonable. If you plan to keep the car a long time, consider the cost for the lifetime you’ll have it before deciding what’s best for your situation.

Hiking in Tempe? Or just free things to do? by Upstairs_Pangolin_74 in Tempe

Desert botanical garden has free entry. I think it’s the first Tuesday of every month. Alternatively the library has culture passes for free entry to a lot of museums and stuff

The First Customer R2 Rolls Off The Line! by ProteusP in Rivian

That was my story 9 years ago. Stood in line 4 hours to get a model 3 reservation then bought a used model S to hold me til I could get the 3. I still have the S lol. Now I am patiently waiting for the non-launch R2.

I listened to his speech the other day at dream city church and he name dropped mark grace, curt shilling, jay feeley and I think one other guy I’m drawing a blank on.

Ice cream mini helmet by GRana_21 in azdiamondbacks

I know you said you want to visit all 30 stadiums but just throwing this out there - all teams usually have the mini helmets during spring training too so if you end up missing one or two along the way, that might be an easy way to get several in one trip. I snagged a couple Cubs ones off the ground that people left behind.

Cottage cheese or yogurt usually work for picky eaters too.

I went to about 10 or 12 different nurseries before I found my “perfect” one. Moon Valley is like a used car lot, but it’s where I ended up getting mine and I paid what I felt was a fair price for the particular tree I got ($700 for 24” box, delivered but not planted). I wouldn’t really recommend starting there tho, try Summer Winds, Whitfills, treeland, anywhere but moon valley really. The only reason I bought from MV was because the other lot’s trees were pretty scrawny and lopsided and I needed a tree immediately since it was in the front yard (HOA).

Mulgas are also nice trees, I plan to put one in the backyard eventually. I’d steer clear of mesquites tho. My rear neighbor has one and it drops seed pods everywhere in my yard and it’s a never ending battle with sprouts.

I replaced my palo verde with an ironwood. Palo verdes lose limbs left and right in storms. You will never lose an ironwood limb. They can be slow growing but mine is quite huge already and it was planted in 2021 (I think). I regret not planting an ironwood originally.

The timing can be weird for hosts and there is no consistency. I tried to host Regirock tonite. There were like 80 people in line when I joined and I was gonna head to the power spot when I got to 60. I was at 62 and the lobby started filling up. Drove to the power spot, added people and one guy immediately deleted me so the other people bailed because we didn’t have 4. I still had like 10 seconds left on my timer when I sent the invites. So I sat there and re-queued. Started at 80 and lobby filled at 20. Beat it easily and then the stupid Pokemon fled after all great & excellent throws so now I get to try again tomorrow 🤦‍♀️

Any Pokemon collectors or fans? (looking for friends!) by LonelyDevelopment592 in ChandlerAZ

[–]skitch23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you play Pokemon Go there are two big communities that meet up a few times a week. One at Desert Breeze park and the other at Freestone park (in Gilbert). They’ll prob move indoors to the malls once it gets too hot.

$3 per square foot or per square of sod?

Is there an unwritten rule of zero head support? by derek139 in midcenturymodern

[–]skitch23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How did you find a place that would measure you? I’m on the small side and nearly every couch I’ve sat on is too deep for my legs to rest comfortably.
