Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Fitchburg Checking in ... Next to Madison ... Been here about 4 yrs

 

Guess I'm done for then. I've got 7.5 years here because every place I've applied for and gotten anywhere with has ended up being a worst deal than what I've got. Which is kind of sad considering it's a low paying government gig...

 

Yup. Poor financial choices, and credit card abuse in my case.

 

Definitely sad but true. The only time I've ever gotten a significant raise was when I changed employers. This seems weird to me, being in the trades, but I guess that's how it is now.

 

Welcome from Sullivan!

 

@Pixeltim wanted me to pass on hello for him.

He’s on a 30 day vacation

 

I think the first problem is you work for the gov lol

 

Yep. Especially because recently a county councilman said at a public hearing that most of us work for them because we want to be civil servants, not because we're trying to make money to live.

That nearly started a riot

 

First I heard about this

 

But he's not wrong. If you want to make money have to be in the public sector. Well, unless you're in a high up governmental position and have no morals.

 

@wi_taco later this year trying to fund truck parts...

 

Taco Life be like that sometimes.

 

Not one to judge......

 

Hey all,

An overland/offroad event up north!

KOAR 2022 (keweenawoverlandadventureretreat.com)

Not sure if you know about this event up in the UP of Michigan. It's in September in Copper Harbor at the tip of the Keweenaw. Explored up there this past September with my daughter and it is very cool. Would be nice to find some of the local spots to wheel up there. and hang out. They even have a SUBARU thing for Larry...

 

I spent some time up in the Copper Harbor area last July and camped on the shore of Lake Superior. Beautiful area I definitely want to explore more of as there seems to be plenty of trails. Downside was was many were overgrown and it was pinstripe city.

 

I was just telling the wife I wanted to go to copper harbor this year. I'll have to check out the link you posted.

 

Some teasers from last summer... we had some fantastic campsites on the lake.



The tip, as far as you can go...



Big ship on the horizon.

 

I wish that wasn’t 9 HOURS AWAY

someone needs to start an overland transport company. Meet up at a local spot, my truck gets loaded onto a trailer, I goto bed and in the morning we arrive
