Wow... AI goes back to school. I'm getting sick of my job as well, so starting soon I am getting back to welding. I enjoy it, I plan to work in a shop or something similar. I already have the 4 year degree thing, but I find office work hell. I'd rather stab myself in the dick than sit at a desk.

My 401k has been doing OK. Not fabulous, but I insulated myself from the last shock. I have been doing moderate (which really at 32, I should be more aggressive) But gently caress it. No one has a crystal ball. Back to school chat - I think I may be lucky enough to just pay for a giant majority of my learnin' in cash and I was wondering where it all came from.... I haven't bought a car this year..... strange connection.

Lucky fuckers - we don't get a 401k match if you're and agreement employee. Even non agreement only gets 5% match. But they do contribute to our own pension, which works out to be ... 15-17% (I haven't done the math)

Not kicking up or down and revving higher than normal at highway speed. Fwiw the over drive drum likes to poo poo themselves on these trannys. There's a few you tube how to replace the drum, give them a look over. But sounds like your tranny is hosed. Also sorry rhyno, death blows, and I know neither one of us likes dealing with it, so I know the spot your in.

I also ditched the use of silicone this time. My father in laws friend that has been doing plumbing since they invented the pipe said to use plumbers putty. That way if there ever needs to be work done, it can be easily taken apart to be repaired and new put in. With a proper ring of putty, the "wing-tite" drain system its in and works perfectly.

meatpimp posted:I have not been happy with putty the last couple times I've used it. I was planning on using silicone next time. What are the pros/cons? Plumbers seem to be 50/50. The only advantage that I see is that once silicone is down, its down. Plumbers putty can be worked again or replaced easy. Every time I have done putty, it was a slam dunk install. Silicone always fucks up some how.

Sigma X posted:People who are past their early 20s and are still financially dependent on their parents are so loving weird to me. you missed out on that whole economic crash didnt you? I come from the school of thought that I don't know what goes on behind closed doors. Maybe that early 20's kid had a huge loving medical bill and is trying to get on their feet, or maybe they are just really bad with money. Either way, its not my place to judge on how people live their lives. (Even though I think universal health care should be a thing so we aren't in a loving mess like this)

gently caress PREVIOUS OWNERS, gently caress PREVIOUS OWNERS, gently caress PREVIOUS OWNERS. Good lord, this shower install has turned into a loving oval office wagon and a half. I am trying to get drywall to match up and of course nothing matches up. so my day was spend using shims, screwing and unscrewing the same god drat piece of dry wall just to try to attempt to get things to line up, only to bust a hole in another piece of drywall. gently caress it, its getting copious amounts of drywall compound and sanding it. Now I am the previous owner.

kastein posted:You should be using greenboard or cementboard in a shower stall anyways. its green board. its just the pain in the dick of getting every thing to match up because the shower is a retrofit. And of course, they cobbled together every thing when they did it, so nothing is matching correctly. This is the engineering I am working with folks. gently caress PREVIOUS OWNERS.

Tommychu posted:I'm learning not to mention that I'm a mechanic right off the bat as well. There's a huge stigma there, unless I start going after the sort of women who judge a man by the length of his lift blocks. And I'm not about to start seeking out relationships in which I'm competing with her cousin. I am curious why there is such a stigma behind this. My wife is giddy over the fact that I can use my hands and brain to build/fix/repair poo poo. And a giant majority of her friends are jealous, always saying, "I wish my husband could do some of that stuff" (But remember, I am now the previous owner. gently caress that shower)

meatpimp posted:Most stereotypes about Audis are true. Great cars if you have the time, skill and space to work on them yourself. Twin turbo cars are notorious for oil feed problems, which necessitate engine removal or subframe drop. V8 cars sound absolutely awesome, but are prone to timing chain issues. Solution? Remove motor. HAHAHHAHAHA Holy gently caress what the hell were they even thinking? That has to be the most overly complicated timing chain I have ever seen, and I thought M62's were bad. That's on a whole other level of "gently caress you"

Comrade Flynn posted:State Farm has been great to me. $120/mo to insure a car that MSRP'd for $350,000? Sure. They have been decent to me as well. 4 cars (Range Rover is under classic car - 5000 stated value - i really need to up it, Jag is just liability), my 2 newer cars, 1 million dollar umbrella, and my wifes rings insurance, and its 136 a month. 500 deductible on both the newer cars, so its not unreasonable.
