We hired movers for our heavy stuff during out 2018 move, it was just over $1000 to have them do it. A lock, stock, barrel kind of move? It would have been very expensive. I have no regrets having paid for it, the moved some of the worst stuff that we own and did it with a smile.

I used moving as a jumpstart to selling off more of my stuff. Truth be told, I had begun downsizing years before I moved, but moving allowed me to really get things in containers that made the easier to document and sell after the move.

We received an offer on our house Halloween of 2018, they wanted to close at the end of Nov...so we too had one month to get out. Having lived there for 14 years, we amassed a ton of shit, so it too was no east task. One thing that I landed up doing was renting a storage unit and putting...

Do tell.

Its ironic that in a vast majority of the places where I'd actually want a firearm on my person, you cannot carry there. I don't carry...or even have a license for it, where I live there's currently no need.

Gimme a break... Go hang out in Portland for a while, find out for yourself.

I'll be frank, I've long thought that all kids should go through 8-weeks of Army basic directly following high school. I could be a slightly watered down program, with no following AIT...but it would give the a ton of life skills, some physical fitness, and some training most of them need...

LOL...everyone claims to love free-speech until someone uses it to tell them to go fuck themselves. I've long been in favor of businesses being able to serve customers in any way they choose and yes, even if that means wear a mask while in their store. I can choose if I want to go there or...

Can you blame them? There's a reason why so many became first time gun owners in 2020...

This here is the kicker, and I've long said this. American politicians are complete idiots and are master level at fucking up even the most simplistic levels of government. Here in the US, there is no putting pandora back in the box, not with this one. This COVID (or whatever variant, or...

So, if I'm reading that correctly, that would only apply to the government, correct? Going out to Boston last week, all airports still had very strick mask requirements as did gov funded mass transportation in/out of the city. ...but for privately owned businesses? Is it legal for someone to be...

I'm really curious about the legality of that. Forcing an employee to take a specific vaccination doesn't seem like it would be legal. I can possibly see it for very specific jobs in healthcare, but that should be a more broad thing, requiring them to be up to date vaccinated at all times...

Well...I guess it will soon be "here we go again"... My daughter, who happens to be vaccinated, was none too pleased when our super announced that they would be following Illinois and their recently announced mandatory masking in schools. As a matter of fact, her near exact response was "Well...

After 6 years of owning a full size truck, I've come to the conclusion that the best truck,........is a borrowed truck. There are probably 5-10 times a year that I need a full sized truck to move things around. The other 355+ days a year? They suck. They are massive and living with them daily...

I just noted this. The 4.6l gen Mustang is a fairly fun, but flawed car. My brother has an '03 convertible that he has done minor work on. He fixed what I felt were some of the major issues with that mustang, the stance, the exhaust, the brakes, the wheels. Minor things that add up and make for...
