I don't have the VS catalog around and your'e too far for me to appreciate it lol. But I am leaning towards paying bills, almost paying the truck off and possibly a money market or CD. Or even a savings I can't access by debit card.

 

 

Sorry man, she's into lifted trucks :jester:

Put it in the bank.

 

 

But don't forget to hold out enough to pay cash for an accujack. And you can always stop at the furd dealer when you need to drop a deuce.

Not to be a buzz kill...but i agree with the bank/investment.. yrs ago when business was good i was working 7 days a week and had 2-3 guys going

money was good, but 'make more..spend more' so i have nothing to show for it.. business sucks now and im struggling to survive, wishing i had a 1/4 of what i waisted!!

put a bigger outboard on the boat. Those hondas we have on the back of our Coast Guard small boats are very peppy. Hell maybe you can throw two or three on there with a transom modification.

a 150 is big enough for that boat. I almost think I am going to try to pull myself out of debt.

Pay off EVERYTHING you can. If there is any $ left after that, put it in the bank. Ask yourself 1 question, if you did not get this $ would you have taken a loan out to buy toys?

Don't piss it away, you will need it in the future.

I have purchased my toys in cash, or like my travel trailer and my old 02 F-350 inherited it. My boat I paid cash. It's a 1986 and it was only $3000. I save up for my things now. I just have a couple credit cards and my truck

      TCM Tuning 6L80E

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉

      I gotta say, I'm enjoying your narration. The troubles you've been having are amusing as you describe them. It's good to see that you're finally getting some satisfaction out the old beast though.
