Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Recommended Posts

Sort of want an older one so I can actually put a stereo in something again.

 

8" mid and a 5.25" sub.  Lol.  Maybe I can live with that if the depth on the mid is deep enough :)

A little TB upgrade of course.

Box is a little small in the CT for it, but it may not be terrible

After 4 routers total this one is the only one that cab send signal through the whole house. It's a bad bitch.

I wanted to get that one or the AC version of it, but I couldn't justify the 5x cost increase.
I could as I couldn't get WiFi across my house. And for 130 bucks it was not a big deal. A $25 router is nice and cheep man good find.
I wanted to justify it for that reason, but the connection is good enough at the furthest location and theninplan on centralizing it.

Hell, I wanted to justify it just to have the top end router. Haha

The AC version had higher speed but less "penetration"through bad walls if I remember right... And the AC is only 25 bucks more..... I read that wrong thinking you got a wireless one for $25.

Maybe I'm confused on the reports I read but the AC was faster but got no reliable signal in the "worst room" scenario, but the dark knight did. For me the other 3 routers would not get signal to my bedroom, this one does. It isn't great, but it gets it there.

I have so much metal in my walls and floors it's crazy.

basically the movie version of "Store brand vs. Name brand".

Only store brand is usually repackaged brand name.

So damn frustrated with banks. I decided to cut the amount of a loan against my rental property. The closing costs and interest rate didn't go down.... So the Fucking closing costs are nearly, and maybe over, 10% of the loan. That's retarded.

So I have been playing phone tag for 2 weeks with the largest loan writer in MN just to find out if there is a fixed rate equity option or if a HELOC is just a better option. My CU offers a HELOC I can freeze the rate on, but not for a rental.

Why the Fuck is this so hard, the total loan is like...15% of my income, and less than 50% of the property value?

Forbes had a fun little piece the other day in which they answered a few common questions people had been asking about Obamacare—because healthcare can be confusing! Almost as confusing as, say, pulling the logo of a wildly popular furries convention to use as the accompanying graphic on an article about Obamacare. Which, you know, they did.

3" Faital a-pillars are ready for wrapping and fiberglass. It's pretty easy to do such stuff with another pair of hands to help.

The trip to work yesterday morning was incredible, almost zero traffic with the national holiday.

Sean..... Turbo.

Always turbo.

The interior is SO BAD on the 955/957 compared to the 958 though.

 

And yes, I know.  I just drove the 2012 S at WB Lincoln and the 2005 S at Maplewood Merc

The seats were also wore out in the 05.  If that is categorically going to happen to them above 120k I am not so interested. :(

The 05 in Maplewood just had the intake tubes done.  At the end of my test drive it smelled of anti-freeze.  I am not liking the condition of the older ones that I am seeing.  Of course I am looking at the lemon years.  Pre-06 they weren't sorted out yet.  All the 06+'s have been sold locally or are private party and I only kick tires of dealers.
