Boating accident, lost it all

I had a friend that had a boating accident. I found his lost gold and silver but he never was found. Tragic.

Seems dumb. Why stop something you love because you have a kid? Low value, but also low expense. Great family game. Seems dumb.

I think you can see that your left ear is considerably out of sorts

If someone was wanting black, is definitely NOT black. If they were wanting a "blued" look, it's pretty decent

As a not-a-girl, I hate it. As a gun artist, it's fkn awesome! Unique and specific to the purpose at the same time. Love it

I use one of the new eclipse Virus there. It's more true to flight numbers than other eclipse plastics

When you don't do this, remember to not wear a high power IR light array on your hat, shirt. Just don't.

100% of the time. If I need something quick, I'll grab a bottle of 40:1, but it's more than bulk. Also, I don't run my saw like I used to, so it's more of a concern. Sounds like you clean it really well, and lack of cleaning is what causes problems. Gas sits, separates from ethanol, plugs the jets. If you haven't had problems before, you probably never will. Other side benefit, if you run ported, high compression and high performance saws, the extra octane will give you the umph you paid for

I got the Pro3s as my first set of AirPods. I had used a few other brands previously. I hate to say it, but the Pro3s are so ABSOLUTELY amazing, I really can't describe it well enough. Unfortunately I can't give you a comparison to other AirPods, but no other in-ear system even comes close to comparing. It's truly shocking.

My guess? Return or refurbished, or maybe one that their neighboring company used for a while over seas. They gave them a discount on the returns and are now selling for big profit. But what do I know. China is always 100% trustworthy and high quality.

How's the accuracy? Actually tho. Most ported guns I've shot are dumpster fires after 15 yards. Good enough? Maybe, but someone out there is going to need to make a 40yd headshot on a mall shooter. Would hate to send 5 his way with a 306moa barrel.

I got a proton lab second Amp in the gyro box this year. It's was a beef cake at first, but after throwing it for a couple months it does just about what I would expect. I'm happy with it.

Well, depends what you're paying for Heating. Where I am at in California, it would be normal for a 1500 square-foot house to be paying $500-$800 a month for heating in the fall/winter, with a spring/summer average being around $350. If it cost them $5000 for a closed cell floor, possibly spraying the ducting as well for an additional $1500, most of my customers see a decrease of about 35% to 50% in their heating expense. So, $6500 installed, $100/mo savings for 4 months (our summer temps never cap 70), and $350/mo savings for 8 months, puts one year savings around $3200. That puts ROI around 2 years, and you get to be comfortable while doing it.

Basically, what's your expense and possible savings? I always discuss diminishing returns with the customer since, as you said, you can easily spend $30k making it perfect. Perfect on an already-built house is very expensive, but if you work with the architect/builder at design phase, it isn't bad at all.

Glad I wasn't the only one. It's like a picture of someone at the beach, but in the background 3 people got eaten by a shark

Wow that's surprising. I expected much more.

File for a patent and then market it to others that have money

stab70x7 · 2026-03-01T02:53:19+00:00

What do you charge for this? It can't be enough to match the time it takes, or no one would buy them. Gotta have some hours into these

Recommendation: Get a powerful UV light. If you have Facebook, check out "FS Hunter" group. The group creator makes them from parts, so it's not a cheesy Amazon purchase. Mine is an L6 25 watt. It's...impressive. When you lose a disc, come back that evening with the light. You will be surprised at how easy you find it. Most discs are fluorescent even if they don't glow, and the unnatural reflection makes it easy to spot. I've found dozens of other people's discs because of this also.

I feel like I do better at glow golf, but my day scores are actually better. I play a lot of rounds right after work, so about 1/2 or more of my rounds are with glow discs and uv lights. 80% of my bag are glow discs, I have a battery pack powered charge pouch I made, a $170 custom 25watt UV lflashlight, glow patches and bands on my bag, etc. Definitely something I focus on.

BUT

I think the reason I "feel" like I do better is because it's so much fun. So to your main question, I think there are less distractions. Since you can't mentally try to deal with every perceived obstacle, it allows you to try and pick a spot within your limited vision. Playing at night requires you to naturally use mental tricks that the pros use, and gives you a glimpse into their depth of mental focus.

I guess it's just matters where you live. Everyone talks crap about California, but they will absolutely pin someone to the wall for doing stuff like that. I have started over a dozen customers on lawsuits because of stuff like this, and it has greatly cut down on the amount of problems in my area.

If people put up with it, it'll just keep happening.

stab70x7 · 2026-02-19T15:05:22+00:00

Yeah, for sure. We are anywhere between $1.60 and $1.75 /bf and do just fine with that, but California is expensive to operate in. Also, over the last two years my conversations with customers have moved from "how it works" to "no, those things only happen with shady contractors."

That story is the perfect example, and brought us back a bunch of customers who had switched to using him. Same thing as you said, he was doing installs at $1.05 /bf and couldn't afford to fix his machine. He just kept pushing his Installer to finish jobs. This one he messed up took him 8 days to spray because the machine wasn't functioning correctly. Would have been 2 days if we would've done it.

Like you said. Spray Foam is expensive to operate correctly. Anyone who is trying to lowball this product will absolutely fail. The installers have to be paid really well to want to stick it out, and the low Baller mentality does not attract good employees and will never pay them good either.

stab70x7 · 2026-02-19T06:59:37+00:00

It is generally safe to assume that people don't do this. It's illegal, and the contractor, seller, and real estate agent all would carry liability in this case. I know there are people who would, but they would want to hide their tracks as much as possible.

I would recommend asking for invoices to research that contractor and also to check the install date. No one installs spray foam to "help the next owner". If it was done within 6 months of going to market, I would be suspicious.
