As much as a pain marketplace can be, it might be your best bet to look. Increase your search radius. The current model is a 300 actually but the previous models were 250, then 230. Yamaha made a 230 as well. I believe Kawasaki did too but you don’t see them much.

Well on eBay the used older styles are going for $550. I can get a brand new one in the box for about $750. We got the motor for cheap and just trying to keep the cost down, I’m sure something expensive is going to come up during the rebuild process.

I’m actually out of state and willing to pay for shipping. I can call them. Insist think about them thanks. It’s crazy, even the used ones online are going for over $500. Maybe it is what it is.
I bought some side bunkers for my small boat trailer. They came in from a warehouse in Texas and I saw they were the same ones one eBay and Amazon for half the price.
Which he has probably made more than 30k on all the hits already.
His bond was $20,000 not 2m. He explains they forgot a comma on the paper work. I used to like his old videos but he has seemed to Change lot lately. He has fought some battles again the state im curious to see how this plays out. From what I understand if it was set up legally in Montana under a llc he done nothing wrong. Plenty of people do this every day.
Pilot or Highlander. Big no on the traverse/acadia
I had a f150 work truck with hanooks and I got 70,000 miles out of them. Come to think about it I think my new f150 has them too

Try calling no problem drag strip. They may know someone in the area that has it. That crap burns my eyes when someone is running it in their bike.

re: WFH vs Working from India

I worked for a larger contractor that was foreign owned. We had a problem on a job and they said they had an independent engineering firm that could create a fix for the problem. It was Indians and they paid them pennies on the dollar to what it would have cost an American firm to design it. And you guessed it they had to have it redesigned at the end of the day.

I live in an area that has a lot of Indians. Frick them smelly no driving sob’s.

re: DIY taxes

The new tax laws make it pretty simple. The standard deduction this year I believe is about 24,000. As long as you don’t play with stocks and have rental properties you will able to figure it out. Most places now can import a w2 and save your information from year to year to make it even easier.
I bought a Tacoma in NC and they had a $899 doc fee and $1800 add on for paint protection etc. the doc fee is non negotiable but I found they same truck at another dealer and I told them I was leaving to buy it there since they did not have the extra $1800 add on. They took it off…..

And yes, even the power sports dealerships are doing it now too.
Yes more Muslims. More Mexicans. More dot Indians. They are invading us.

We had the four digit numbers where I grew up. I could call my grandparents and a few friend with dour digits only. We also did have party lines and shared it with the old lady across the street. Most people to this day do not believe me about the party lines.

re: Deep fryer REC for turkey

Posted by bayou choupique on 11/30/24 at 1:07 pm to
I bought a bundle at academy years ago, everything you mentioned. I’ve fried no less than 20 turkeys in it. Super easy and comes out perfect each time. 3-3.5 minutes per pound and no bigger than 14 lbs.
Yea, could do better at walmart

Income tax on part time job

Posted by bayou choupique on 10/30/24 at 6:23 pm
My wife recently took a part time job. Her first few pay checks did not have federal taxes taken out. If I am reading irs.gov correctly, she would not pay federal taxes if we file jointly and she makes less than 28,000 per year? I just don’t want to be hit with an extra tax bill and the end of the year.
I watched the Theo pod cast and was amazed at the comments. Everyone was saying how normal he was and didn’t understand why Poole were calling him weird.
Same way in NC. She is on top. Trump is in the middle.
And there are only 84 million or so in the US. Either she is that stupid or she plans to bring in 16 more immigrant families. Please explain.
