when is this....and.....please take pics of them doing push ups on the side of the road for old time sakesWhich should make our upcoming Italian holiday *extra-fun*... throw in that two of the kids will be old enough to legally drink and we've set the stage for some good times.
Ours is actually pretty damn good, it's part of what's kept me there so long.
I find it interesting that you had to charge the starting battery prior to firing up the generator...Since it is fire season and Pacific Graft and Extortion has announced that they will cut power in case of certain red flag conditions. I pulled out the back up generator, charged the starter battery then fired it up and ran it for five minutes. I can run the entire house on this big puppy.
I had not used the generator for a while and the charge was down on the battery. Wasn't going to run the unit long enough to charge the battery and I was in no hurry to run it so I just threw the battery on the charger overnight before firing it up.
I could make $30k more doing the exact same thing, but getting 5 weeks of vacation and a similar benefits package would be almost impossible. We have a 6% match and they do annual contributions to the 401k that have been an additional 6-8% of salary for the last 5 years. The extra 401k contributions make up a chunk of that and will definitely moreso now, plus I value my time off.
We leave next Wednesday. And I shall endeavor to get a Tuscan pushup photo.
Yup. Mine is the WfH and unlimited vacation... it's like crack.
do you have a pension?
i only have 3 weeks "vacation", but i have a bunch of over categories of PTO which altogether puts my just under 6 weeks.I couldn’t tolerate only having 5 weeks of vacation. That would simply not stand.
Srsly. I'd be out of vacation by July.I couldn’t tolerate only having 5 weeks of vacation. That would simply not stand.
Dude. Always use ALL the vacation. ALWAYS.
That said I'm going to hit the new year with a bit over 7 weeks of vacation accrued but not used… because all my time off this year is either free to me or from separate sick-time-as-parental-leave.
including calendar holidays i'm at 7.5 as well.
That's the one thing that I don't have. They pretty much don't exist outside of govt or legacy employees for large corporations now.
if you can....go over the mountains to hereWe leave next Wednesday. And I shall endeavor to get a Tuscan pushup photo.

i have one, but i'm grandfathered in (and already vested). my parent company no longer offers an actual pension to new/returning employees. one of the main reasons i haven't left.
That looks like every other suburb in Boston. Mass is a 3rd world country.so is it going to look like this....
but with extension cords?
Still remain skeptical. Pensions can be cut at any point and dumped on the PBGC… thank you, capitalism.
one of the reasons our parent company hasn't done this is that there would be a mass exodus of long term employees if they pulled this shit. it's why existing employees are grandfathered and they made the changes for new / existing employees.
Nope - not gonna make it to the Alps this time 'round. Venice -> Florence -> Rome
I presume that you know not to let it drain down enough to damage it...
Your life is quite an adventure...
$179 for new glasses. I will be blind all week. Driving home was adventurous...
Ummm, that thing has a purpose...Managed to wrestle the cookie sheet heat shield out from on top of the muffler. That thing rattling away was getting a little obnoxious.
Doesn't look like anything is above it, other than the spare wheel area. So screw, its staying off.
I pulled the thing out after driving my car around, you can touch the muffler. I doubt this tiny golf cart engined car has enough heat output to damage anything back there.
