    I'm waiting on one form from Vanguard for gains/losses on some small stock trades, which should be up tomorrow. I added everything up and set the percent aside that I should owe, I'm just hoping I'm correct. I hate how long it takes to get everything I need.

    What frustrates me is that one of the guys I work with that was furloughed for 3 months (when the Fed was giving out checks for an extra $600 weekly) said that he actually made more $ last year than he would have normally. A 3 month vacation AND he made more $? Meanwhile, those of us who weren't furloughed were stuck doing extra work to make up the difference, but for less $$. He was complaining last week that the extra $$ threw off his taxes for the year & he had to pay in. I told him to shut his whore mouth, lol.

    Have you been keeping up with the new and upcoming electric motorcycles coming out? I think some will give bikes like the Grom a run for it's money. They're inexpensive, short range which sucks but they'll actually go 70-80 MPH and have decent power.

    We had one group of staff that hasn't really served a purpose with no kids here. They wanted to be laid off so they could collect because of the $600, but we found other odd jobs for them to do so they could stay employed. When the $300 passed, we were running out of ways to justify them and they started asking again, so the business manager said fine, collect if you want. A couple of those that wanted to be laid off were then upset that we would no longer be paying for their health insurance. It's like they didn't understand what "unemployed" means. :frusty:

    yeah, I think so, it popped up on YouTube for me. It's like $5k, 100 mi range-ish and 80 MPH top speed.

    EDIT: Sondors is the brand

    yeah that's the one i saw. 100 miles would be more than enough for the non existent riding i've been doing last couple of years

    Damn - how heavy are those? Batteries are heavy - granted so is an engine you wouldn't have but still, I know typically hybrids/electric cars are a bit heavier. Not a problem when you have a seat that can recline but I also don't ride motorcycles so I'm clueless to that sort of thing.

    as long as it's well balanced you shouldn't notice it. i can hold up a full bagger harley better than a sportster, just because they're top heavy pieces of shit

    Good to see ice! We have nothing to show for this winter so far down here in RI. We had some snow for a few days and that's all gone for weeks now.

    I just checked the weather though, after tomorrow looks like we're off to the races getting some good snow! Not a lot, but consistent!

    No ice on the lake that I live on either. My daughter keeps asking about ice skating, but can't skate with 0 ice. The shallow coves have a slight covering of ice, but no where near enough to support a person.

    WWJD? :laugh:


    We've got enough here for people and ATV's finally, as evidenced by the ones I saw on the lake this week. I still wouldn't put anything large on there, though.
    Of course, I wouldn't put anything larger on the ice anyway, no matter how thick it was. :notsure:

    What @Noelie84 said. There have been quite a few times when I would yell "Why the F*** would you throw that!?". Brady isn't perfect, but as a football player goes, he as close to as it gets.
