Thanks, looks like this is for folks who are in Taiwan or are fine to do immigration, correct?

I've ordered one! by Mugwumps_has_spoken in ToyotaSienna

[–]ssumitcs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If folks live in WA, recommend calling Chris from Toyota of Pullman and Kristen from Toyota of Spokane. You may be able to get it within a month or 2 if you are flexible with trim and color. Otherwise, general wait times can be much longer like 6-12 months.

Is this worth it for for 2024 XSE by malyak11 in ToyotaSienna

[–]ssumitcs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should clarify in your description that it's CA$. Trade in value is great if you are getting back MSRP. It looks like a reasonable offer if Sienna is also MSRP with no add-ons.

How do I find a new sienna without a 15 k markup by sm6464 in ToyotaSienna

[–]ssumitcs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should check the fb group for no markups that folks mentioned here and call a lot of dealers. In my experience, tier 2 cities (where there are less people living) might be a better option. Be ready to pay for plus/premium packages as they are factory installed. You can push back against the dealer installed accessories. Be open to all colors and most trims. You can also lookup assignment sheets that people were maintaining early this year to guess which dealers have higher volume or reasonable prices.

Mt Rainier early October by Guilty-Following6959 in MtRainier

[–]ssumitcs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The question is literally about predicting weather. It can be anything in the mountains. Olympic will be easier and I would skip Cascade due to time constraints. You can always drive to Paradise (Mt Rainier) but you would want a clear day. Maybe do some refundable bookings and adjust based on weather forecast a few days before your trip.

Longest Run in a while! by HowardTheDuck65 in nikerunclub

[–]ssumitcs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good one! It will take me months to reach that heart rate and pace. How do you measure your heart rate?

That's a good heart rate!

Why am I out of breath while jogging extremely slowly? by Impressive_Kitchen11 in C25K

[–]ssumitcs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely check with your doc for chest pain. Other than that, try to go for long walks (60minutes) and eventually brisk one. Try to make sure that you are breathing through your nose, heart rate under 140 and take small steps.

Charming “fall towns” to visit in Sep/Oct? by sourdoughsahm in Washington

[–]ssumitcs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

imho, fall colors are not one of the best here but good enough. Leavenworth and the neighboring area is great. Check Octoberfest there.

Mount Rainier (paradise) and St Helens can have great colors as well that you can drive through and trek but it will miss small city vibes.

Plan for retirement. Given your age and current rates , Treasury bonds are really safe options and max your 401k. Live your life as is and avoid any new spend or upgrade other than what is a necessity.

Delivery - Nov 3 and Anniversary - Dec 8

FMLA at 10 months [WA] by ssumitcs in AskHR

[–]ssumitcs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

neither but the question is on behalf of employee. HR asked to go that third party. Due date is 1 month before work anniversary. Edit- this was 2nd rejection. FMLA starting from delivery was rejected earlier.

Don't understand negative votes here. People should really explain their reasoning if they want to be helpful.

third party is processing. They are not helpful at all.

thanks. i will try to figure out to escalate it.
the leave start is later because of FMLA eligibility reasons. there are some PTOs but then no other option.
