    RV Storage (current value/cost) discussion

    Have room for an RV garage but have 1 spot covered with electricity for 125 and one enclosed with roll up door for 225. Rv garage would run 200K and with CD interest rates at 4%-5% doesn't make sense to build other than convenience.

    What business would you start?

    We are Rocky Mountain power as well, when the solar guys come knocking and I do the math the ROI is infinite when I multiply cost x .04 (interest in a cd) I'm making money by not buying the panels.

    What's your opinion/take on the efforts of DOGE?

    I friggin love it, ya some decent programs and "good people" will get caught up in the cuts but it has to happen, if you took each one and individually debated and voted on it, it would take eons. My only concern is it is not NEARLY enough. I feel as if we are in too deep, any cuts and taxes to...

    How long since your last ticket? how many times have you talked your way out of one?

    Last one was about 15 years ago, heading on the i15n to Dumont towing an enclosed for a day trip. Had my kids with me and got pulled over doing 70, thought I had a pretty good chance till the CHP got out with a high and tight and put on his campaign hat low in the front and high in the back...

    Let's talk life insurance

    IMO Term life insurance is the only way to go, invest the money you would additionally spend on a "whole life" into a Roth IRA and you will be way ahead in the long run... Im 57, when I retired at 55 I dumped the 1.5M term policy I was carrying on myself, if you can retire you don't need life...

    My faith in humanity has been restored - what would you do ?

    Sold a crane a few years ago (thanks CARB...) to a guy starting a business in Utah, he hired a driveway service to get it to Utah. Coming down the hill to state line the guy over revved the Caterpillar and caused about 7k in damage. The new owner called me distraught as he scrapped every penny...

    Motorhome & Enclosed or 5th wheel and why?

    I've gone full circle twice, currently in a DP with an enclosed. Was recently considering going back to a trailer bot not many new fifth wheels 35' and under will fit our turbo r 4. It seems as if the larger ones seem to be having frame issues, lippert and the trailer mfgs point fingers at each...

    Tool Talk

    I bought a half dozen BOXO sets for the enclosed, kids etc. Pretty happy with them all in all though a tad overpriced IMO. Bought large US General cabinet and top chest as well as mechanics cart from HF and super happy with them. I have a lot of old craftsman stuff (sears days) and Snap On as...

    Lemon law advice AZ

    Especially for an AWD. My daughter just hit 100k miles on her Crosstrek we bought it new in 2017. Changed the brake pads and serpentine belt last week, other than oil changes that is the full spectrum of maintenance done to it (other than a 1.5" lift and some all terrains after purchase)

    Who do you use to process credit cards for your biz?

    Years ago we implemented a 4% processing fee on all cc transactions. I received a statement showing a five figure cost for the year and a few days later a regular customer told me he uses his card to accumulate points for "free" vacations and flights, changed our policy on the spot...

    Nursing School

    I believe when she turns 24 your income won't be applicable when applying for a grant / loan. My nephew went through RCCs program and was obligated to work at Riverside Community and did not like it another family member went through SBVCs program years ago and it worked out well. If she's up to...
