Previa_fun posted:Holy poo poo folks are buying houses six times their annual income? It's cool making 175% of the median household income and having any decent decent homes cost 4-5x that amount. Since my wife and I don't want to be financially obliterated by a minor emergency we're just going to keep watching the Sheriff's auctions for a seized meth lab and/or murderhouse.

Seminal Flu posted:Gotcha. In that case, what about keeping your free housing position, then rent a section of a garage or pole barn somewhere to do car stuff? Should be way cheaper than a mortgage and still let you pocket some good, long-term gravy. Seriously, if my rent was that far below market I would be subletting a shop bay or corner of a warehouse.

Good luck. I always had a lovely time firing customers because they were unreasonable, entitled and volatile/rude as hell. If they were understanding or occupied the same reality as I did I wouldn't have had to fire them. ¯\_ツ)_/¯ It does feel good when it's finally over and I knew my employees appreciated it. cursedshitbox posted:https://www.olx.ua/obyavlenie/prodam-vaz-21099-turbo-200l-s-IDsr02i.html#706d209f2e I like look of that, especially the c-pillars windows.

LloydDobler posted:Not sure if you know but some of the states with legal weed have made it fully legal, no prescription required. This is why I spent 11 months unemployed last year, over half a million assholes have moved here (Colorado) in the last few years, a lot did it for the weed and a lot of them were mechanical engineers. I've never tried weed in my life. I blame it on Silicon Valley overflow. Companies and techies are moving to places where the cost of living is more reasonable. First Seattle and Portland, now Denver and Reno (and podunks like mine). I def think you're right and the legal weed would put Denver ahead of SLC on a lot of 21-30y/o techbros lists.

QuarkMartial posted:Don't take this the wrong way, because I am legitimately asking and not being snarky or anything like that. I have not heard of this before, but are you saying that there are laws (under the guise of anti-terrorism) that state business profits have to be kept in banks? It's a lot of the latter, with banks not wanting to handle money that might be of unsettled legality/bad PR (the adult industry has similar issues) but there are totally controls on having/moving large amounts of cash*. I'm sure it wouldn't take too much for a motivated prosecutor to convince a grand jury that maybe Kind Mountain Green Medicine Co is maybe violating some sort of statute. And I'm sure if there was pressure on the IRS, it could get very uncomfortable for high-revenue unbanked businesses. *It's been a while so I don't recall specifics, in no small part because I never handle anything other than tiny sums of cash.

I think one of my Subaru's heads is warped. I don't have a very good straight edge, but it seems like theres a high spot between two of the cylinders. I'm planning on taking everything into the machine shop tomorrow. I'll ask them to check that head for true, and if it's warped stop (and I'll over an I kind of suspect that maybe that engine overheated a couple years ago with the PO because there was a slight external coolant leak on this head. We might have just been lucky and got 38k out of a marginal HG. Edit: Darchangel posted:Also holy poo poo that kitchen storage. Those cabinet hinges though.

I'm going to tow my boat up to the lake (110 miles away and 5000ft up) this weekend. This will be the first big ask of my beater truck.

I think I killed a 4l60e this weekend.  Towing my boat to the lake there was very steep grade from 4000' to 5500' that gave me some trouble. It was likely in limp home mode and I didn't pick up on it because my CEL is permalit so I probably fried the clutches, and then let out the magic smoke out while I was retrieving the boat. Got up the ramp finally which was good because it was a single, and died at the exit to the park. Trans temp shot up to 295 and all gears (including neutral) go mostly forward. Still it was a great camping/sailing trip (and in AAA free tow range) so I ain't even mad.

I installed a Hayden 678 cooler this week. Don't know if that was a factor/insufficient/I hosed up the install or what yet. The later is definitely possible. I IR gunned the cooler at like 180 when the truck was idling with 245-degrees on the trans temp and not dropping so maybe the flow wasn't sufficient or it was blocked. Truck has 250k on it and I have no idea of the transmission's history. Had a harsh 1-2 before so it was already questionable. I've never rebuilt a transmission, and I'm neck deep in a head gasket job on my wife's car so I'm a little hesitant to dive in. I'll probably be looking at getting a low-mile or rebuilt transmission. Maybe even paying someone to do it unless there's one-weird-truck and a transmission is easy to r/r in a 2wd Silverado.

I have a trans cooler for mine that I've yet to install. I should probably get on that (and the fluid swap) even though I don't tow. Filter and flush was going to be my next project. I don't think it would have saved me so the silver lining is that I didn't waste a million qts of ATF.
