Don't bother, they will monitor low balance accts, possibly service charge it, and then in OD status, eventually close it. Or, just send a copy of the zero balance stmt to the bank with a hand written note to close, signed & dated.

I don't ride anymore, sometimes I would like another one but the "real" desire to ride is not present so I move on. I had some Suzuki 1400 and 1500"s, (2 of each), and I preferred the 1400 for it's power to weight ratio, had forward controls and Corbin seat for the comfort. I rode it alot and regret selling it every time I think about that 1400. A Gold Wing is a great bike for all day rides on wide open roads, not the twisty curvy roads I enjoy more. More a cross country bike IMO, but to each their own. I rode the GW from PCB, FL to E TN in one day on the interstate, was a pretty easy ride. I bought a new HD Road King, and did a stage 2 kit on the motor before I ever rode it, and what a bike. A good size for day trips and comfy enough (big enough) for longer trips, and two up riding. They are on the heavy side at around 800#, but comfy. Rode it to bike week a couple times, trailered it some as well. I pulled a Bushtec trailer with it as well. If I were to get serious about riding again, I would get a HD Road Glide with the "snarky" front end, just like the look. GL in your search.

Son should get a certified copy of the divorce decree and take it to the bank and see if that will satisfy their requirements for depositing the check. Or, talk to insurance agent and see if they will ACH the funds to his acct with the return of the check originally issued. While I understand not wanting to deal with/see the ex, if the son wants the $$ bad enough, drive to Chattanooga.

Anyone tried both wet methods (ultrasonic and wet tumbling)?? Which is easier??

I usually run my Honda engine dry of gas when I'm thru with it for a good while, then just add fresh gas and a bit of seafoam (it can be a stubborn thing after sitting for a few months), and it starts w/o much effort most of the time. LOL Never had to rebuild the carb, just change the oil on a regular basis.

I bought one from Northerntool 20 yrs ago for $xx, can't remember, I use it 2x's a yr to do the driveway, patio, etc., and it's been well worth the $$ spent IMO. I can do it when I have the time, stop and finish the job later if needed, etc. I do have a detached garage/shed so it's stored there, doesn't take up much room, and maint is minimal. I have bought a new handle/wand/nozzle for it, but that's it. Has a 5hp Honda pullstart motor, and 25' (?) hose. Northern Tool has 'em on sale for $300 right now. Mine is labeled NorthStar brand I believe.

x2 Look or ask around for someone experienced in estate planning. You may or may not need a full blown estate plan, but someone local with the experience can write a simple will, POA, etc., for a few dollars more. You will get exactly what you want instead of a boiler plate will that may create more confusion than anything else. Ask a local trust dept or financial advisor for a list of who they recommend, or your stock broker if you use one. they are usually running in the same social circles.

If you're looking for brass only, try brassbombers.com. I've purchased from them with no complaints, different levels of prep available from none to ready to load.

We have 2 pair here, and I believe the build their nests at SIL next door, come over here and squabble all damn day, then go back next door to sleep. Then repeat several times an hour. LOL They are fun to watch, I am amazed at how they can fly so fast, stop in 2 feet, then dive bomb another one. LOL

We had one or two a couple weeks ago, or the last warm spell we had (whenever that was), and then it turned cold and wet again. Saw one today at our feeders after the wife change the "green" water out for some fresher stuff. LOL

No more ordering knives for home delivery in UK

Guess they will ban automobiles as well since they drive on the wrong side of the road. -
It's been a while since I applied for a mortgage, but since you say you've got "pretty good credit", it would not hurt to talk to several different and LOCAL lenders to see what they offer. If you know your FICO credit score (available from several sources), you can provide that to the lender during the initial discussion. They can then give you some idea of what they would offer in terms of interest rate and terms. You don't have to go 30 yrs, you can go shorter and the rates will be different for each length of the mortgage term. Use some common sense and ask lots of questions. It is a complicated process, and you will have to jump thru many hoops, but a local lender can be easier to deal with in person/face to face than someone on the phone 3 states over.

AR's come in lots of different sizes (calibers), so the itty bitty varmint cartridge excuse is not valid. I don't own an AR either, still on the fence.

I've got the boat and the "stuff" all ready, but this weather is playing he!! the conditions. High water levels as well.

This is where people need to get a grip on themselves and their lives, and ignore the social media. Social media should be for S&G's, not to make you ill.

When I was growing up in the 60's-70's, and then out of college in 1977, we did not hear about any of the bad things that happened that day until that night when we watched the evening news. Now it's instant since most humans have smart phones and get notifications if "anything" in the world were to occur. We have 24/7/365 access to all the "bad" things that happen via CNN, HLN. TWC, MSNBC, FNC, etc. Ever notice how the weather channel just loves a CAT 5 hurricane or No'easter storm. LOL

Welcome, I grew up in Jonesboro (the old spelling), and still have family in the TC area.

Have you ever noticed the various ads on TV about meds that treat various illnesses, they seem to run in cycles. One month is for diabetes, the next month is for depression, or a skin disorder, or (insert the newest disease/illness). I think it's being driven by the drug companies. Sales for one particular drug is behind its sales goals, so it's time to bring that illness(s) back to the publics' attention, and sell more of this. NO proof what so ever of it, but I think drug companies run promotions of free cruises/vacations for the people who write the most prescriptions in a month. LOL

Sounds about right. Saw on the news a while back where a walmart employee was fired for trying to stop a shoplifter. Company policy is to let 'em go, hopefully the security cameras get a picture but walmart management does not want confrontations at their stores.

I thought I was a "decent" cook on the grill and such, but you guys put me to shame. Gonna cook some chicken thighs on the grill, probably just season them with Lowrys seasoned salt, and whatever bottle of spice (I have an addiction to spices for the grill) I find that sounds good. Some cottage cheese and pineapple on the side. I'm a simple guy.

Might want to take a look at Texas Hunting Forum if you are interested in a long drive to check one off the bucket list. Sounds interesting, especially the helicopter version I saw on utube but didn't like the price at all. LOL

Welcome and GL with your business. I have family in the Tri-Cities area, so up that way on a somewhat regular basis.

Aw, "the man" is everywhere these days. LOL
