$80 / tow, almost half of what it is now ?

I've seen similar things happen about 1-2 years ago with the digging business. People would hire backhoes for almost nothing, just to pay the fuel and a very very small extra. It broke the market in some areas and with those rates, if the machine needed repairs you were effed...

Does anybody have a calculator that will show the most efficient way to cut a sheet of wood? Thanks in advance!

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

Don't about your neck of the woods, but we use saws to cut wood around here, not calculators.

So the city pays for impounds and accident hooks? Here it's up to the owner. The city has a contract with four companies to tow, but the owner is responsible for all fees. IF they don't pay for impound, the vehicle goes to state auction after a period of 30 or so days depending on the reason for impound. Accidents are strictly the owner's responsibility and if they don't pay within a certain period, you file a lien.

I love the auctions! We'd get dealers' cars who were locked up too long to get their shit out. I got my first 3 cars for exactly $6 each and they all included some very nice 12V electronics. It was pretty nice to be the only kid in high school rolling around with triple gold Daytons and a trunk full of noise.

I need to get to where I can host it, but can't do it at work. Had a long night last night and had to work today. I hate getting behind... Well, I liked getting behind her for the pic, but I mean I hate getting behind at work.

Can't imagine what you'd say if you actually got something real.

[dem beats 1,223]

You still have not answered my original question from pages back and the first question on my post. What is your goal from this method and why do you believe it will work better with a fasting program than a more traditional format?

So again, what is your goal and why do feel your approach is more viable than the more accepted rout?

I know this wasn't directed at me but I'll add my 2 cents. I have experimented with intermittent fasting with good results. My goal, like many others my size, is to lose fat and be of what I would call healthy strength.

The initial reasoning for fasting is that I assume I am getting all the extra benefits that Stefan has mentioned, but in a addition for me it make diet adherence easier.

If I wake up in the morning and know I'm not going to eat I go on with my day. I drink plenty of water because it is the only thing I can have. When I get to lunch I'm know I'm ready to eat, but it is actually much easier for me to pass by all the fast food joints and hit up the super market to think of something fresh, delicious and with plenty of protein (if I haven't planned already). Because I didn't waste a single minute with breakfast in the morning or snacks I have more time I can devote to lunch.

I get to eat to my hearts content on healthy food and feel great (Did I mention that sometimes I have a brunch at this time? BEST meal ever). Afterward I spend the rest of my day not really worrying and I "graze" on a few healthy snacks. At dinner I eat with my girlfriend and repeat the process.

When I was attempting an all day eating schedule I felt more need to plan out all the meals. I also felt like all I would do is snack all the time and never feel full no matter how delicious and healthy the "meal" was. Also, when I'm used to eating every three hours I get ravenous hunger pains. On my fasting diet I feel content after my one big meal. I don't get that on an all day schedule. Also, I am not eating extreme amounts of calories. Eating only 8 hours a day makes it easier to stay under my calorie limit, especially if I focus on healthy foods.

For me I focus less on the food with the intermittent approach. That alone helps me tremendously.

I will address this and maybe put my point to rest. I'm on my cell phone yelling at jiffy lube for having over torqued my oil pan nut. I almost stripped it.

OK. Sorry. I'm waiting on a new router. I purchased a local D link awesome machine... it cant even handle my fucking wired network and wouldn't let me use a secure wireless with a password I wanted. It excluded characters.... WTF.

Anyway. As I said. For short term periods, as in even up to a year or so dependent on your situation, these methods show amazingly quick results. HOWEVER 99% of the results are not from the adhering to the prescribed food, or the timing of the food. IT IS BECAUSE IT MAKES IT EASIER FOR YOU TO NOT MAKE POOR FOOD DECISIONS. That is in caps as it is the crux of my statement. Not because I intend to shout. When you give yourself a simple rule of I will only eat this or that, or I will only eat from x-y, you are condensing your concentration and thus making it a more focused attack on NOT EATING GARBAGE.

Your statement itself describes the situation perfectly. Because you are focused on a small part of your day for food, you then find it easier to drive past fast food. Just like the paleo diets, it's all just focusing on something so you are not focusing on your next double whopper with extra spoiled mayo special sauce and a king sized vat of onion rings. I loved me a triple whopper with onion rings. I do. YUM YUM EAT EM UP! But the food is shit. I don't eat it often and as I age it makes a much bigger impact on how I feel. I don't even crave fast food anymore. None. However when I'm busy I eat it. And it's all because I didn't plan.

When I was trying my best I would make my meals every morning. Boil 4-6 chicken breast (depending on if I was going to have fish that day too). Make 3 cups of barley. Prep 6 cups of spinach, or sometimes brocolli.

It took me 20 min including cooking time for a WHOLE DAYS MEALS. Talk about easy. Some people out there may not like that kind of monotony, but it was simple for me, and if I wanted something else I would just substitute. But I had it all set up and fail safe. I didn't mind having the same meal every day and it let me figure out variables. I could add in a new supplement and very quickly asses if it helped in any way or not.

Eating every 2.5-4.5 hours is optimal. It's in every cultures anecdotal but literal billion people case study. It's in almost every conventional nutritionists first order of attack for a person. Athlete or just regular person. If I hear someone trying to tell me that I should not eat from time x to time y, or that I should cut out an entire macro-nutrient, or that goji berries will save my life I instantly think it's a short term fix and they are selling something. That something is usually hope and distraction. That doesn't make it bad, it's just not something that is either optimal as they push it or it's a short term band-aid. You want to knock off some flab because you got a beach vacation comming up. Heck yes a short term keto diet will help. Eventually though the gains.... errr losses will catch up.

You only describe convenience, not health benefits.

I honestly wish I could take a page from Seans book. Though a great cook and well versed in many cultures of food, I had less time to develop my skills as an adult and basically started working 2 full time jobs or one that was 80 hours a week since I was a few weeks before 18. This lay off period has really allowed me to grow in a lot of ways, and one of them is being able to cook a variety of foods for a day. It will be tougher when I return to the work force.... Unless I can score something from home.....

JBL seems like they have a lot of cool shit cooking. If I ever got some degree in their realm...

I wish i could find the state auctions around here. I could use a different project car.
