Walked to breakfast this morning, feeling like a boss. Started raining, but I'm a boss, so I grab my jacket.... That I left in my other bag....

Definitely not a boss.

Not sure I can live with this weather roller coaster any longer.

You need a big garage!

[Tirefryr 1,742]

That I do, buy it does not prevent illness.

[nem 2,019]

Some spring maintenance to the boys 4runner. Cut the paint in 2 stages and then used paint sealer. Looking good for 2003.

[Tirefryr 1,742]

What sealant did you use?  I'm giving up on my Meguiars polymer for some ceramic.

[Tirefryr 1,742]

I've been in 3 tornados in my life.  In fact one it was crazy wind and rain with an eery, sudden calm.  A couple minutes later, all hell breaks loose.  It just got eerily calm here out of nowhere.

This was reduced at walmart for $5.

Damn link doesn't work on my phone.  I'm hoping it's Mirror Glaze 21.  If so, I've been using that for years and it's great!  I'm just ready for something longer-lasting and I'm going to try ceramic.

[Tirefryr 1,742]

And at $5, it's a steal!  I normally pay $30+ for the same amount.

Mirror Glaze 20.

I figure the boy can do this every year. I did the first one.

The garage has raised my property taxes $150.00 per year. I am quite happy with that.

[Tirefryr 1,742]

12 hours ago we had storms, tornados, and 60s.  Right now, windy AF, 20s, and a sleet/snow mix.   I can't take it anymore!

I hope that is all mine does.  Hell I would be happy if it only raised it 1500

[MKader17 332]

I'm more appalled by property tax than income.

If you get a 30 yr loan on a house in Texas, you will likely give the government over 70% of the value of your home before paying it off.

$100,000 house

$70k / 30 years = $2,333 year or 2.3% of the price?  Or are you correcting for the inflation of the house value adding more in later years than now?

That would kill me if we had that.  I was under the impression ours are high (1-1.5% depending on area)...

[MKader17 332]

$175,000 house had $4000 in taxes.

Now Texas has no income tax, you pay a flat $70 each year for vehicle registration and no other property tax.

My uncle had a lake house he sold because he was spending $20,000 a year on property taxes.

My buddies wife is a property tax accountant. She's a few years out of school and she makes $80K making sure her company pays property taxes on time...

MD taxes are horrendous, but the current Governor is working on it from what I understand.
