$1.5 mil a year for a county sheriff… Yeah, nothing to see there! 😆

 

Sad

 Yep. In a state where $40k a year  individual or $75k a family -is middle class. Now he did also run the jail. So technically two jobs.   And I believe him to be a decent human UNTIL-  he got off on pills.  And addiction is what took him down.  Now they’re turning over every rock. Trying tp find theft etc. and they claim to have found a couple hundred K already.  Power corrupts.

Being a Bay Area CA kid I read $10k lawn mower and think about some super crazy custom push mower like 🤪
Then like, oh yeah. BC got some big land and he riding BIG!

Bro. My lawnmower is 72 inch cut 23hp .  And diesel $20k. 

 

here’s link.     I have too much to cut to spend all week doing it. Some of added. But the way I keep equipment running , I’ll still be cutting with this one the day I die.

🤣.  My point was just that the opposite context is just as extreme as the guy who cuts lawns with a push mower in 20 min.    I laugh a lot in my 4some on Saturday when someone says “ ugh. I have to go home and cut the grass “. While knowing that his yard will fit in my garage.  I cut for 2 hours yesterday.  And I have an hour left. Not counting the weed eating.  We spend about 5 hours a week on the yard cut of grass .  Which is why I also laugh when people say “ oh I love this place , you’re so blessed “. Yep. No doubt. It’s a choice. So we are. But. It’s not without constant work.  There is no porch sitting and admiring. Always work to do.  It’s a liability.  And that’s part of the gripe with property tax. It shouldn’t be tied to future potential profit.  It should be only tied to actual sales.

Wouldn't it just be cheaper to hire a boy scout to mow your lawn for five bucks?

You’d think. They don’t exist.  Back when it was less yard ( no pool or shop ) and more field. I had a service cut it. And it was $220 a week. And they did a crap job. It’s cheaper to do it myself. 
 

everything is that way. Had new tires put on a truck last week. Along with front end alignment. At the ford dealership.  ( they’re actually cheapest alignment in town ) … alignment was great. Had a tech sheet with the specs etc. before and after. But. When I got home. I pull up to the house and hear a “ thud “ in the fender well.  Get out and look. There’s a lug nut laying on the driveway.  So I check the rest. 2 more loose. I simply don’t call anyone unless I have to.  For anything. Roofers , electricians are about the only service men I call. And I roofed the shop the last time too but I’m getting too old for heights. 🤣.

Falling off roofs can ruin your golf game.

Same blade. I do everything I’m able to myself. Nobody cares as much about ur stuff as you. I’ll paint, do brake jobs, build decks/arbors, a fence etc… Prob draw line at putting a new roof on my shack. Haha

 

*but failing to tighten the lug nuts… Just wow 🤯

On the above note. 
So here we go again. Made a tot lite hearted, observational post in the tour & pre-release sub yesterday. (Now m well aware that I’m not everyone’s cup of tea. Seems to especially b the case w/the guys here that think we curing cancer here. Hey, all good. You do you and it takes all kinds to make it all work)

Back to the post I mentioned. Most ppl drop a “lol” reaction, one guy gives me the “sad” reaction. Def not my 1st. So whatever. In another thread he makes a post I don’t agree with and I drop a “sad” on him. 
Apparently a tot trigger, so he proceeds to come back to original thread and drops a you’re sad, weird and pathetic on me! 😳 Once you cross that line and make it personal it’s just like wow. It’s a SM golf forum ppl!!! Reeeeelax… 😂 

😂. I don’t get the sad one either. I mean they give it to me. But I don’t get its use.  We need  thumbs down. That would make more sense. Disagreements aren’t sad. They’re just disagreements.  
 

im about as popular as a fart in a diving  suit too in alot of places. It’s purely from folks 1. Having no sense of humor 2. Because you’ll ( me too ) challenge what they are saying.  Folks hate that. 
 

I get it most often for taking the off side of a topic. I can argue for something just for logic and debates sake. Even if i don’t personally agree with myself. 🤣.  That seems to irk folks.  Did it a minute ago with my sister in law over the diddy .  Prosecutorial overreach should be investigated as fraud or at least dereliction  of duty. Instead they reached for the moon.  And flopped.

We are all aware that 95% of the time the “sad” & “confused” reactions are just WRX speak for ur post is stupid to me 😂 (my apologies, said as much a few days ago 🙏🏼 and yes you will drop another sad or confused on this post bcs it’s funny! 😆) 

The sad can b legit if it’s 4 a post about a loss/unfortunate situation. 
 

At the end of the day making it personal says so much more about the offender than the recipient IMO 🤷🏼‍♂️

Ok! I finally figured out why I find the confused emoji so hilarious. It reminds me of that 80s Mike Tyson video game character Bald Bull when he got mad 🤣

 

Wow, really had to reach back in the memory archives for that!

You remind me. Last week I made a comment about truly loving the weather here. Guy interjects and ”pisses on my parade”. We have the typical WRX back n forth “argument” and I think we done.

 

A few hours later I see he has gone through another thread and dropped like 6 consecutive “confused” reactions on my posts there! I just laughed 😂

Ya wrx is way mild compared to say Twitter. Incredible how just vile the overall vibe can be there. I’ve never made a comment there.

Almost all of our restaurants do the same thing. I got 3% more than negotiated price off a $10,000 lawn mower for paying cash last year.

The fact that processing fees are now on the table shows the state of things. margins are squeezed like never before or at least since the late 70's. Basic things, commodities, transport, energy are out of a long deflationary cycle, we moved to an inflationary environment where currency is debasing and supply is choking. Servicing debt is much more expensive too. Things are not going get cheaper anytime soon.

And as social media has shown us so succinctly, 14 years old isn't an age for some, but rather a state of mind. 😂
