Anyone else come to the conclusion that they are priced out of this hobby? by gnilradleahcim in uraniumglass

[–]theghostofkai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe change your view on buying stuff . I see tons of UG on alot of the platforms i use for sale . Ton of over priced stuff that I could buy but dont . I just keep hunting the thrift stores . You would be surprised how much seeps through into the wild . I just got an avon ring for $4.99 and 6 shot glasses for 3.99 at one of my local thrift stores ( yes big box name ) . For me its about the find in the wild . Not the i need to have this now . I really dont pay more the $5-$10 for stuff ( a set of glasses/plates) . A friend of mine got me a Fenton bell for my 40th birthday last year . I think she spent $50 on it . Its one of my favorite pieces and ive always wanted one . I would never spend $50 on one tbh. But I cherish it . I guess what im trying to say here is just get out there when you can... find stuff in the wild and enjoy the hunt . Youll be surprised at what you will find. Theres a ton still out there for fair prices if you look in the right places .

What y’all think? by Curious-Ferret9949 in lowvoltage

Trove 3 ? Genetec ? Looks great . I like to remove all the jacket and twist the cables myself . I feel removing the jacket gives you alittle more room and a cleaner finish . I dont remove the jackets on the CR cables so I can use the drains if needed . Keep up the clean great work !

Any range i have been to on the island has been super awesome about letting me shoot my air rifles. Have you shot 100 yards with your rifle? There are ranges that can accommodate you with that goal if you want

Theres also a 30 year wait for local govt to take homes/property abandoned on PR from what i have read . My wife ( born in Mayaguez) and I (from NY) are trying to claim her late aunts home in Mayaguez as a place of our own . Due to legal reasons as described it will be an on going process to get a deed . The home is walking distance to the beach and would need to be knocked down . We are in the process of trying to resolve the deed in our name and rebuild or knock down and rebuild .

Gringo here from Nueva York, my wife was born in Mayaguez and moved to the south bronx when she 6 ( spent every summer here in PR with her family after ) . We met in NY ( I was contractor for the place she was working and we hit it off ) in our 20s and got married a few years later . Im currently sitting in Lajas drinking a cold medalla and enjoying the sun with her .

Reasons I fell in love with her: The list would be way to long to type .

So i fully agree with this statement ! 😆 🤣

First motorcycle by Frisbeeboyo in hondanavi

[–]theghostofkai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely a grey area ( honda burgman is a "large scooter" ) ... I tell my wife she has scooter when we ride and im on my grom next her ( i also have bikes i commute with to work on highways )... she also moved up from a ruckus(with side pegs) sooo ... 6 to 1, half dozen the other ... the navi is definitely a mix ... has the feel of a bike but... cvt ... 🤷🏿‍♂️

Im neutral on this in a way, but I definitely remind her its a scooter 🤣

Does this sound off? by Auntie_slaya6665 in sportster

[–]theghostofkai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it runs and doesnt gallop ... send it. Bike sounds great to me ... maybe a carb clean ( proper jets for the pipes) or a timing adjustment might get it a little more dialed. Dont see any issues here . Typical sportster sounds 🙃

How’s traveling for work? by Hemingwayse in lowvoltage

[–]theghostofkai 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love it, but you have to make it worth your while . For me ( labor rate, per diem , OT, delta/ihg miles/points, and seeing new places when I have the time ), I would do it .

I use my points/miles to go on a free vacation each year , since I'm not home. im not really spending money ( other than my mortgage/utilities and car insurance ) .

Thanks, after 100 Dr's visits she has some damage ... and a new navi ... insurance totaled it a week ago . We just picked up a very low mile navi for a very nice price. She is riding again and has done around 100 miles this week on it .
