Angry ginger Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 the nice thing is the shitty weathers quelled my need to buy a motorcycle although i did sign up for the basic rider class through the state to get my MC endorsement back. Figured after having not ridden in 20 years the refresher would be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point I don't see myself getting a bike anytime soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry ginger Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 22 minutes ago, ckf said: Did you go out on your own, or are you working for another company? another company- to go out on your own these days realistically requires you to have somewhere north of 10 million in the bank to get the lines you would need to do it right. compliance cost post CFPB is outrageous, i'd bet end of the day it costs every customer around 4 grand over the life of their loan. Back when i should have done it $500k got you onto a level playing field with most other players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckf Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 I was finally able to mow the lawn now that it has stopped raining long enough for it to dry out. It was starting to look like a hay field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckf Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 It's already up to 80° here at 1:15 in the afternoon. I'm glad I closed the windows earlier this morning. It's a rather comfortable 68° inside. Funny thing is Rob and I were just discussing needing to occasionally turn on the heat just a few days ago.

ckf Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 It looks like we are going to have a nice weekend here for a change. The forecast is calling for mostly sunny with highs in the mid 70's today, and sunny in the mid 80's tomorrow. I'm not crazy about temps in the mid 80's, but it's better than a rainy Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeadoo Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Mid 80's the first of this week,snowing a bit this morning!! That's Spring on the high desert.....just wait 10 minutes and it will change weather on you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
