"Now I can keep My money in the bank"

How about taking just a little of that money and taking me out to eat. Preferably Texas Road House. This is what I want. Plus two or three beers with it. Thanks in advance!

55 year old hillbilly that looks alot like Hagrid lol!

reply

[–] Sandman3 (1454) 5 years ago

No dinner for us. It would just look to weird. A hillbilly and guy in suit and tie going out to eat! LOL

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Okay then, just the beer 😕
Smoke?
One thing - no one would mess with us.
Not everyday you see outlaw bikers and mafia hanging out lol!

reply

[–] Sandman3 (1454) 5 years ago

LOL But sure a beer (well more than one would be great)

BTW I was joking about the suit and tie. Have not wore that for well over a decade.

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

I wore one most days for just over ten years. Invested heavily. Ties, vests, wingtips, cuff links, yada yada.
Haven't even owned slacks for almost twenty years.
Now it's mostly denim and leather. Some flannel lol

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Got mine today too

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

It's been awhile since money came and went so fast lol! It's nice to have. What kinda wildness are you gonna get into?

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Nothing right away. I'm gonna use my savings to move. I've got to leave Az.

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

a new laptop??

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Not a priority

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

That sounds ominous.

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

It is.

It's nice here. Quiet.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Cant be there either.

reply

[–] Kowalski (79174) 5 years ago

WELL SHIT...ILLHAVE TO MOVE TOO THEN...MAKE SURE TO TELL ME WHERE.

reply

[–] Catbookss (13664) 5 years ago

Where are you thinking of moving? To where your parents are living? Somewhere else?

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Vermont or Michigan

reply

[–] Catbookss (13664) 5 years ago

Both beautiful places, I've heard. A big change from AZ. ... Not that AZ doesn't have beauty, it's that it's a very different kind of beauty.

reply

[–] Moonglum9 (11340) 5 years ago

It's a dry beauty.

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Oh we hate that

reply

[–] Padeen (6459) 5 years ago

I've never been to Michigan, but Vermont is beautiful. If you can handle the cold winters, its a paradise in the summer.

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

I think were going with Michigan because Vermont is pricey.
I've been to Vermont, it is beautiful. Billboards are illegal there. And I believe it may be the only state without a McDonald's. Rock on Vermont.

reply

[–] Catbookss (13664) 5 years ago

Congrats!

It's probably going to take a while for mine to arrive, since I've had a boatload of changes of addresses in the past year.

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Mine is tied into ssdi so they know my whereabouts and pretty much.every.thing.else. It sucks but hey. I hope yours comes soon, you deserve to have that security after all the drama. As long as you've kept up on the address changes, forwarding and such, you should be good. Might go online and update the dmv, ss, and especially the irs.

reply

[–] Catbookss (13664) 5 years ago

Plus you haven't moved a ridiculous number of times in a year 😊. I have kept up on address changes and forwarding with the USPS, and with my CCs, banks, and so on but forget about the DMV, IRS, and SS. The latter mostly because I've forgotten what passwords I used to sign up, or even which email, so it's a PITA.

I do get direct deposits on my checks, so maybe they'll just do that and my address changes won't matter? 🤞

Thanks, Cruz. It's so nice to have finally caught a break.

reply

[–] CKid (3842) 5 years ago

Mine is due tomorrow, at least according to that IRS tracking website.

reply

[–] Catbookss (13664) 5 years ago

Do you happen to have the URL handy? I'd like to look mine up.

reply

[–] CKid (3842) 5 years ago

Yes, I do. Here ya go ...
irs.gov/coronavirus/get-my-payment

Once there, you'll have to post your Social Security number and street address.

reply

[–] Catbookss (13664) 5 years ago

Thank you. Well that probably won't work because they don't know my new street address. I could try using my last address though.

reply

[–] Catbookss (13664) 5 years ago

The old address worked! Says they've scheduled my check to be mailed May 1st, so I expect in about a week it'll arrive at my current address. Thanks!

reply

[–] Padeen (6459) 5 years ago

Mine said May 1st as well, so I was surprised to find it in my mailbox today. Happy times!

reply

[–] Catbookss (13664) 5 years ago

Yours came today? Woo hoo!!! 🎉

Maybe mine's been deposited. I'll check.

What are you doing to do with yours?

I'm going to buy a portable air conditioner and maybe this very cool looking white leather lounging couch. If it's comfortable.

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Sounds like good investments ;)

reply

[–] Padeen (6459) 5 years ago

I already spent $400 dollars on silver, so other than that, maybe some summer clothes and the rest will go in the bank.

Good call on the AC. I can't imagine living without one in the summer. I would literally not sleep.

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

It's happening in record time. So far. It's the Fed, states, banks etc so something is gonna break down at some point. But hell I've Never seen the gov move like this.

She got your stimulus or she just got your money in general?
Either way, I remember the saying about standing by the river - eventually your enemies will float past.
Patience.

reply

[–] Padeen (6459) 5 years ago

Mine is being sent on May 1st. I've already spent $400 dollars on silver when the price dropped back in March. I'll probably spend another $200 on whatever and put the rest in the bank.

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Yeah I've been looking at silver too. I think it might drop some more. This is good time to buy. I've been saving to get this done and now I can keep it in the bank.

reply

[–] Padeen (6459) 5 years ago

Id wait to buy any until this crisis calms down. Premiums are ridiculously high. Around $10 over spot for Silver Eagles as an example.

reply

[–] degree7 (821) 5 years ago

Sure is nice of them to send our own money back to us.

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

No doubt. And as usual bastards are out there snatching up money they don't need.

reply

[–] chilone (18334) 5 years ago

What kind of car?

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

1978 Chevrolet Big 10. The mechanicals are mostly done after this. Probably have to redo the exhaust.
I figure in a year or so I can get serious about the body. It's basically rotten.
You like old cars?

reply

[–] chilone (18334) 5 years ago

I do but when you said you were lowering it, I was thinking different. I have a BMW Z4 that handles fabulously. :)

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

That's the whole point. I've rebuilt the suspension and drivetrain, added sway bars front and back, rebuilt the steering from the wheel down. Lowering it will bring down the center of gravity, reduce lean, and reduce drag.
Always wanted to drive a Z4 ;)
Ol Bessie still handles like a truck, but now it handles more like a new sport truck. Blows the young guys minds around here lol.

reply

[–] chilone (18334) 5 years ago

Yep. I definitely have a soft spot for lowered trucks!

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Were you thinking about air effects? Affects? Air dam, splitter, side skirts?

reply

[–] chilone (18334) 5 years ago

No. Before I got my Z4, I had a Miata that I lowered. Made a world of difference.

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Oh Hell yeah, especially those little roadsters.

reply

[–] Mrmojo4700 (21723) 5 years ago

For exhaust I’d go headers to 2 1/2 inch True duals To flowmasters then turn downs just before the rear end. If you really want to spend money go stainless. 😀

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Had to go with 2 1/4 cuz he was out of the other. Presently they turn out in front of the tires. Probably gonna have to cut em before the bend to do the new shackle and it sounds like one of my flowmasters is about to give up, so I'm sure collectors back is in the future.
I don't get excited about looks, time enough for that later.
I'm all about function! ;)

reply

[–] Mrmojo4700 (21723) 5 years ago

I’ve got a 98’ second generation Dodge 3500 with the Cummins turbo diesel I’m sinking a lot of blood, sweat and money into presently. I love the LMC catalogs with their exploded views for ordering.

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

I looked for an ancient 1 ton diesel 4X4 for around 3 months.
Then Dad's Dodge dually needed front end work. Good Lord I didn't know it was that damn expensive!!
The next day I found my big 10. Whew!
I wish you alotta good luck, buddy ;)

reply

[–] Mrmojo4700 (21723) 5 years ago

I’m starting off with a pretty solid truck so I don’t mind spending a chunk on it. It’s got a standard transmission and that’s a plus in a Dodge for me. 👍
