But the looks of Merc wagons is barf Austin. The 4 banger of the V90 just doesn't work for me. After going to the dark side with the Cayenne S purchase, now I want the Turbo. :eek:

What a POS. May he and the grifters like him all burn forever in their own private hells.

Interesting that the Texas governor has proposed to eliminate property taxes. They are pricey there so how does he replace the lost revenue?

Our Tabby TG was at her rescue for 4 years before coming home with us. Poor kitty.

Thank you for being a good hoomon

Yup, my two are getting long in the tooth also. I always have weird thoughts; "I wonder if we will ever get to do this again together". It sucks, but every minute with them is a bonus at this...

When we brought Freya and Skye home last year they initially really wanted out the door, but I would always kick a clog or flip-flop at them and now they know if I'm coming close to the door to move....

Fuck, that is Freya. I am terrified of her getting out again. My AC bill will be nuts again this summer, as I can't open the windows unless I am there watching what is up.

Really? It is Volvo's tuning division.

Yup, looking at You Tube TV for Sunday NFL Ticket and that is $72 a month + $15 to Bezo, around $14 to Netflix and $12 to HBO. Then my damn Spectrum internet is $69.99 and it is just fucking...

I had to laugh, I think they all do that ONCE.

I honestly don't mind do most everything around here with help from our house keeper weekly, as if you want stuff done right, do it yourself. I load it, while cleaning up and my wife empty's it. ...

The tabby (TG) has finally accepted Freya as her buddy. I often find them together looking out my office window.

Our cats would love to be outside, but after losing Misty to a car, on the road next to us, there is no way. I wish I could train them to stay on the patio, but my wife suggested if we let them out...

And the repairs have you bleeding out...

I wanted a V90 Cross Country in 2021 when I bought my Cayenne but at that time the prices were stoopid, so I went with the Porsche. Now they look ok. ...

Huh, good to know, as I am getting close to that need for my Gunther.

Beautiful car, congrats...

Yup, I was amazed how well the snow skied today. Really a nice last weekend for me. There is still so much snow I was really surprised.

There is an insomnia thread you may want to look at. I am awake a couple of hours a night, usually between 2:30 and 4:30. And the afternoon nap really helps.

Tgapp, what cute pictures

Sorry for your loss Harry. You were a great son to be there during your mom's last few years and obviously you loved her very much. I hope you're doing alright. Peace

Finishing up an outdoor deck rebuild with pressure treated wood. It is a brownish color. Should I paint/stain it, as the brown color of the wood is fine by me.

Don't forget the baby, Skye...And ya, they are all gorgeous girls.

Was drinking wine with a neighbor the other night and we were discussing my belief that the teachers, fireman, EMTs, accountants, town clerks, social workers, retail managers, etc, etc should be able...

Freya (the greya) consoling TG on having a few teeth pulled.

I would pay a fuck ton for those in my house...

Well they sure as hell are not $75k a year as you suggested. Year 1, I am guessing more like $40k if really lucky.

So $75k a year each as first year teachers? I have to say BS. Do a Google search.

The average Teacher salary in Jackson, WY is $50,655as of , but the salary range typically falls between...

I had to laugh because it's so true

It is pretty impressive if the closed sale comps support a 40% increase from 2022, as my house is down at least 10% in value from last year (all time high).

Yup, you're a good man to help out the kitties, as is CA. Special spot for you guys someday.

People eat that? Gross...

Last fall while doing our Paso Robles wine tour we came across Croad Winery. Really nice wines. We received our Spring shipment from the wine club and had this excellent bottle that was 60%...

Sleep in car with loaded gun?

Thanks for the reminder Viva

#2 is spectacular

In CA, no bodies rent has gone up 4X in the last 9-10 years as Summit commented, so I find your comment being kind of full of it. While Prop 13 is not perfect (it should only apply to owner occ...

But I get yelled at for saying "thank Dog for Prop 13". :confused: People are funny.

Damn, nice audio equipment

Handyman in California are not required to be licensed or bonded. And yes he is insured

The guy is not shady at all. After talking to him, he gave me the names and numbers of couple of Realtors he works a lot with and I contacted them referrals. We also worked out how I feel comfortable...

Thanks for being here to add nothing of value to a conversation. :yourock:

Guys, hiring a handyman to rebuild a deck for $6k. He has no license (not required) and wants $3k upfront for materials with the balance at completion.
How do I make sure he doesn't disappear with...

To Cono's comments, check into Title Insurance availability for sure. I would never buy without it.

Wow!! I feel so sorry for those people. Fetal alcohol syndrome is a big problem in this country. At least that is what I am thinking is to blame for all of the God Damn retards out there.

Always great photos and comments ESS. I had a great time over Thursday thru Saturday. I love Spring skiing, especially after the nice tune I got for it. My ski clubs are done for the season, so I...

Avoiding the crazies is difficult at times

I'm just super annoyed that the teachers weren't hitting everything when I was a kid
