I haven’t eaten anything from any of those in several years, if ever, and I drive by several of them weekly if not daily. Wife says she snagged some Taco Bell at lunch a few weeks ago for the first time in a year or so. ...

re: Bose Soundlink - Please help.

I think ... just because she is not there does not mean the Bose is not still "paired" with her phone in its memory that may allow only one device to be paired at a time. Look up the specific instructions for your device in the Bose troubleshooting section for Bluetooth pairing. Here is an examp...

Take a look at this troubleshooting video for pairing a Pixel 6. One, restart the phone. Two, use reset Bluetooth feature. Three, clear Bluetooth cache and storage. And more in the video and the comments (where good info often resides). . [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qL7n2dQSRY4[/em...

re: Weber Grill Question

Posted by Twenty 49 on 7/20/24 at 9:26 am
I had a Spirt for many years and then upgraded to a Genesis, which I find to be a much better grill. More even heating with less hot spots for sure. One of my best purchases was a set of Grill Grates for the Genesis. Put them on as substitutes for the original grates in 2020 and have never taken...

I know a guy who was involved in a “small” oil and gas firm. They had wells all over the region serviced by Schlumberger and were one of its biggest customers in the area. Then Haynesville Shale hit, big operators moved in, and Schlumberger was making so much doing work for them at much higher p...

re: Maine vacation

I realize this is an older thread, and OP's June trip is past, but for those still planning a trip to Maine, here is what we did one June several years ago: We flew into Bangor, rented a car and went to Bar Harbor for 4 days. Stayed at the Bar Harbor Inn, right on the water. Explored that region...
How much was your hotel room? I stayed at the Hampton Inn across the street from Schwab when passing through town and caught some games at the Big 10 Conference tournament. Room was like $120, and club access tickets were about $25 a day (3 games). Checked the hotel during the CWS and it was then...

re: 401k Investment Diversification

Posted by Twenty 49 on 7/18/24 at 4:23 am
The main thing is you are starting at 25, which is great. Hit the 401k as hard as you can if one is available, and also fund a Roth if you are eligible. Go heavy on American stocks, at least in the early decades. To encourage your early stock investment, I'll share an anecdote I've mentioned bef...

re: Saving for First Home

Posted by Twenty 49 on 7/16/24 at 6:17 am
I suggest HYSA for saving the down payment. Rates are decent these days, and you are looking at a short term relative to the stock market, which could wipe out your dream. Make it a strong goal to save up enough for a 20% down payment to avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI). It is a big expens...
