I hope you can keep my addiction going.

I would be willing to put down healthy $$$$ to make initial purchases to sell products.

 

We are doing on online store as well. So hopefully we will be able to keep you happy.

8,500lbs for a vehicle and trailer sounds really, really, light.

Find a farmer with one of the Fendt or similar tractors with a high speed road gear in it.

Too much hassle. I have nobody reliable who can go check it. 400 miles round-trip. I'm going to take the course next week, rent the trailer and just go see the car. Then decide on the spot if we buy it. Worst case, we're out $80 per person (fuel + trailer rental)

Car dolly?

Impossible to find for renting here. Plus the car no longer has insurance and road inspection. Otherwise we could've drove it here. The seller rear ended it, bought it from it's original owner and is now trying to sell it to recoup some of his loss. With the bureaucratic jungle here it would be impossible to buy and re-register it under a different name.

Simplest option is to buy and part out. Or maybe build a Lotus 7 replica. Or some crazy kit car.

The parts list adds up to over $1500 just by judging used prices, and there is nobody parting out a Miata within 1000 miles.

I'm not suggesting this, but I am. In America you could probably get away with either with the right choice of roads.

Seriously though in pans, its best to describe what you want to cook and then it is easy.

That all being said I fundamentally use 3 pans. A 12" stainless fry pan, a 9" blue steel crepe pan (for eggs mostly), and a 10" (3-4L) stainless sauce pan with a lid.

A 12" is probably too big for an electric power wise. I have 22,000btu burners. MUCH of what I do in the fry pan is on HIGH.

Teflon you CANNOT use on anything above med-low. That defeats the purpose completely in cooking. I do have an All Clad no stick that I do use sometimes though. It's sole purpose is for reheating meals.

I also only have 1 use for a microwave and that is defrosting. My wife has a couple more since she uses it to reheat some food when I am not home (puke), she makes popcorn in it (decent use actually) and instant oatmeal (which I won't eat).

 

For knives I pretty much use a 12" French style CHef's knife for 99% of what I do. I happen to have a really ridiculous collection of knives that fundamentally are a waste of money.

DON'T go buy a 12", but a 10" and buy the one that is the most comfortable in your hands. I brought 10lbs of carrots into the Kitchen Window and julienned them all. Picked the one that felt the best. It was NOT the best cutting.

All that being said, I wish that the 12" MAC fit my hands better. It cuts fucking awesome and has a really easy stone sharpener available for its angle as IIRC Fiskers sells a scissors sharpener that happens to have the exact same angle as the knife.

thanks for the help

ie, if you have some idea I'll keep my eyes peeled as well. Some great shops up here.

Looking for a 4 or 5 string with active pickups, narrow (read not extra deep) neck, painted fretlines. Much like you, I tend to play more on feel. Needs to be comfortqble sitting to practice as my Dean flying V is not.Not opposed to the right acoustic as well.The fretless you found is a steal at 175 especially if the glide is right.J
Are you only interested in painted lines? ie, are dots enough? Have you tried to use a footstool like classical guitarists with the Dean? Do you like the Dean neck?The frets actually confuse me on a bass, but I played upright for so long and just grabbed an electric for when I couldn't travel wtih the upright. I love attempting to play old school funk or flea funk on the bass. I used to have a Fender Jazz Bass and a nice Peavey. At some point around 2000 I bought a Japanese Ibanez for dirt cheap which is all I have now. Still fun to pound on occasionally. Amazingly nice action for the $125 I paid for it lol

More of a lines kind of guy. I have played with dots but I get off a bit too easily at this point. Usually I play one leg up, other leg supporting the body. With the V the only resting spot while seated is in the notch, making reaching the top of the neck a PITA. That being said, the neck while standing glides easily in my hand, not too wide, but could stand to be slightly thinner.

The Fender Jazz bass and the old Peavy I played in HS was a copy of the Fender strat body. I also had a DeArmond JetStar that was great to play, but was a bitch to sit and play. Ibanez has never had the right feel or sound for my taste, as I tend to bounce between a jazz line, and a metal line. All depends on my mood,

The car is coming along like a champ jared and yes ASU is quite a party school. While they have great education, the ratio of whores to decent women is easily 3:1. BTW are you going on vacation this summer? I am planning a trip to NY the beginning of August and am considering swinging out to CO for a week as well.

Sean what model Soloist is it you are truly after? I found a few SL2H with the floyd rose tremolo and seymor duncan pickups with the neck thru design. Both are around 1200 and are listed on the tampa CL.

Not on much due to school and other commitments.

J

Thanks! Would have the steering done by now but its harvest week! Had to get up at 2 this morning just to get some wrench time in. lol

 

Gathered that about ASU after watching the "smashed" video's with Ivy.

 

Don't know about August just yet. Am heading to Disneyland for springbreak. Plan on hitting Lake Tahoe this summer, for the ropes course and some jet skiing! Need to make it up to Idaho at some point. Let me know when it gets closer, I would love to hang out.

Yikes brother!!! Had to of been hellaciously cold turning wrenches at that hour!

ASU is really hit and miss, the plus side is we do have a forum brother down there who's a great guy. So if ahe needed anything I am sure he could help ya out.

As for August, I will let you know what the plans are. Summer semester is over July 24th and I need to get home and see the kid for a week or so. Past that I should be rather free. Just gotta budget shit out.

Payed 400$ for a used S&W bodyguard 38 special with a beam on it. It was in very good shape, looked new actually. The place where I bought it has to do a background check, and then I can pick it up on march 10th. Figured the bullets aren't really expensive, it's not to small of a bullet, I could carry it with me, use for home defense and take it to the range. Do you guys think it will be a good 1st gun? And if it was a descent price.

Decent piece, but I hope you got some range time with it before you purchased it. Nothing worse than taking a loss on a gun you're 'trying' out. You can have all the knockdown power in the world, but if it is uncomfortable, or not accurate for how you shoot, it is nothing but a overpriced paper weight.

Anybody have a good hookup on business plan software? Looking for something that is 'plug and play' for a 5 year plan, that doesn't require 10+ hours of calculations to make it work.

Yes.

What kind of facility would let you carry a firearm inside? I would assume you can not enter the facility with it..so even a BB gun would be acceptable for a primary..unless you do a transport maybe.

Exterior mobile patrols, towers, some internal armed posts (ie gallery over a rec area). Escorts are with just sidearms, unless to an airport, then both guns.
