Unfortunately everyone has a breaking point. I suspect he had more than annoying neighbors on his plate.

I just put tires on the minivan again. The prior 2 sets of 80k rated Coopers didn't make it to 50k. They got rotated every 5k and never dropped more than about 3psi below the set point. Time will tell if these Continentals fair any better. Some cars are much harder on tires than others. Depends on the factory alignment, how much time you spend driving around parking lots, front/rear weight bias, air pressure, rotations, lots of things...

I have a 10 yr old. Prayers for your family. I can't imagine how hard that is. We'll help in any way we can.

Oil prices may go up but demand has gone down. People drive a lot less miles with so many working from home. Though once the world reopens, I expect vacations to get booked up fast.

The Toyota guys don't seem to break stuff with the same level of enthusiasm and wanton disregard as the jeep guys. You gotta raise your game.

You realize this is a public forum, right?

Windrock and Royal Blue north of Knoxville. That's where the jeep guys go to break stuff.

Mostly because of having installed a bunch of can lights in my parents' house. Frequently they're not installed correctly, crooked, wired wrong, etc. It takes a bunch of them to light a room, so they're very inefficient energy wise. I also like good natural light that's relatively bright. I just prefer more earth tones than stark white. Too sterile for me, but easy to paint over. And white walls and kids don't mix.

You can defend yourself and your loved ones from risk of overwhelming and imminent bodily harm. You're not obligated to retreat. You're not permitted to prevent theft of property with deadly force. IANAL.

All white with bunches of can lights. I hate can lights. Clearly a remodel/flip not too long ago. What did you see?

Another point is to be aware of laws at any stops along the way. You should be ok going to FL, but I recall the story of a guy who got diverted to NJ and had to stay overnight. He took possession of his luggage and was arrested when he came back for his flight the next day.

Based on what I read here, you've got it covered. https://www.tsa.gov/travel/transporting-firearms-and-ammunition You should definitely bring it up and get resolution if Spirits policy says anything significantly different.

My B-i-L lost his job a few months ago. My sister's boss told her she could work for him anywhere she's got a decent internet connection. So potentially having to move for his job has no impact on hers.

It wasn't full custom, but they went through pages and pages of options.... floor plan, floors, cabinets, lights, appliances, ... They've just changed their mind and decided to pull up carpet and put down hard floor in a couple rooms. Its somewhere near Hardin Valley rd. The older house is on the outskirts of Oak Ridge.

Welcome!

We've settled for every house we've bought. They've all got issues, but both times we got frustrated and just picked the one we thought was best. I'm not sure you'll even get exactly what you want having one built. My coworker who bought the $400k house is already changing floors and such. I helped my parents build their retirement home while I was in college and there's plenty of things they wish they'd done differently. A house is a project that's never done. It may be good enough at some point, but its never perfect. On a more positive note, another coworker just showed me a house he's going to look at today. Its decidedly stuck in the 70's, but appears to be functional with good bones. And its less than $100/sqft.

That's more Joe's gig...

Yeah, that's madness. We bought just before the 2008 slump. A bunch of years went by where I would've lost up to $50k had i needed to sell. One of my neighbors did lose about $40k, but they had no choice. I was glad to see prices finally come back to where i wouldn't lose my arse, but where it's gone is crazy. One of my coworkers just bought in a new development. He won't say what they paid, but its close to $400k. To me, that's crazy for a young couple wanting to start a family. They have no idea how expensive life is about to get. But back to the topic of your thread, I'd guess most people moving from further than a days drive aren't renting a U-haul to get here. A POD or similar would be much cheaper.

Good luck finding a builder, they're booked years out and the cost of materials is climbing just like house prices. A fixer upper is your best value right now. We saw a house in our neighborhood get flipped recently. The price they got for it made my wife say "we should sell and move!" Yes dear, but then we have to buy back into this crazy market. "Oh."

Yes, yes they were.

Mount it with French cleats or like floating shelves. You could get some sort of conduit for the cables and paint it wall color. It'll be nearly invisible.

You're not a cheapskate, you're frugal. I've also worn the Magellan brand with no complaints. I'm not super hard on clothes, but they last fine for me. I got a pair of Dickies for Christmas and they seem to be made well enough. At 1/4 the price of Duluth, I think they're a pretty good value. If I got the Duluth, I'd end up with perfectly good jeans covered in stains.

The spit/snot/mucus/moisture is the carrier. Think of it like the VOC's in a spray paint can. The virus particles are stuck to and in the moisture and need it to survive. Without the moisture, they dry out and die quickly. The moisture helps the virus live long enough to be touched or inhaled by another host. And all masks are definitely not created equally. Most single ply cotton masks help a little, but not much more than sneezing into your elbow or shoulder. The 2 and 3 ply work better. Then into surgical masks and respirators that are yet more effective.

My interpretation is the CDC didn't directly say that the recommended cycle count was too high. However, it very unlikely for an asymptomatic person to be a "super spreader" even with a positve test.

My wife's family is from Scotland and minen is from Wales, so the wishes of royalty are equally trivial.
