    Yeah, gotta read the mandates, not just what he says on TV, a lot of times they don't jive. You're in a different business than me, we're still outside doing foundations so it's definitely different than an interior drywall job. If we were closed in, I'm not sure we'd be continuing work either.

    I switched to FB marketplace. That's what everyone switched to for buying/selling stuff like this. I sold 2 bicycles so far, has done well for me.

    We do it on a regular basis so it doesn't stock pile, we've been slacking lately so we have a lot to go through. I want to get rid of as much as I can, that way there's no difficulty in up and moving in a week if we end up deciding to move south. Pack some plates and kitchen stuff, and geronimo to the warm weather. I'm getting rid of some bikes I don't ride, etc.

    (a) it's worth what someone will pay for it and (b) research plenty of comps that you can find. If you can find the same/similar anywhere in the US really, get a few of them together, pull an average and go for that. That's kind of what I did with the bikes I've sold so far.

    We just had a meeting to let us know if NH shuts down like Mass we are considered essential employees. Been working here for 34 years this summer, first I’ve ever heard that!

    We can't run cause can't have more than 10 people together, and we throw partys for a living :rolleyes: Lost a few weddings, well delayed until winter. But we aren't getting checks for the other half of the first couple months of weddings. Had to refund thousands for a canceled event and might have to stop a few more depending on when they get their shit together.

    I'll tell ya what. If these assholes in the senate that seem to represent China more than the USA can't get their shit together, we are gonna just open up anyways. And we aren't the only ones I'm sure. People will eventually just ignore this, if they aren't already.

    I love seeing all the headlines about how we need to work together to get funding out ASAP....then one side blocks for one reason, other side blocks for another, it’ll be months before they do anything even though everyone’s talking about making steps within days.

    I’ll believe it when I see it. Whatever. Not my circus not my monkeys. Good luck man. I really don’t even know what you could do as an alternative for your business.

    I can't comprehend how people rely 100% on their work computer and don't own a personal one. I have a user who had their work computer develop issues and their emails make it sound like it's the end of the world. Based on their position, I don't think it's because of work since they aren't actually being asked to work from home--there isn't even much work-related that they could be doing if they wanted to.

    Outside of checking my retirement fund, my work fitness bonus program and the occasional cars.com/hemmings.com listing, I refuse to use my work computer for anything personal. I treat it as assuming the CEO of my company is over my shoulder watching my every move. I clench up a little when a co-worker uses profanity over Teams.

    I'm a bit tinfoil hat in that regard. I won't even sign into my work Outlook365 on my phone anymore. If I need to something work related, I pull out my work PC and go in that way. Never the two shall meet.

    Not 100% sure.
    But, I AM done with it.
    Picked up another Frontier, Pro4x this time, with a 6mt... MUCH happier.
    Tried to trade in the taco, and they low balled the hell out of me, and wanted to charge 31k for a 17, 6mt with 37k on it...

    Needless to say...

    I don't trust this truck... And wouldn't recommend one either(maybe with a 6speed, and WITHOUT TSS).

    So, I still have it... Just not 100% sure what I am doing with it yet.

    Oh, and a little while back, someone in a van was honking at you in Riverdale plaza...
    Me...

    I use my work computer for my classes, and it's my general use computer too. But, everything I use it for is online/cloud based - I don't have anything on the C:\ drive I'm not willing to lose (maybe some class stuff actually). My work gives me a computer that performs well, I don't care if my CEO/someone I work with knows I check my bank/pay bills. No big deal to me. But, again, if I up and lose it tomorrow with the job, that's not going to set me back (other than class stuff, but I can figure that out).

    Yeah, I have a few coworkers who use their work chats/phones for texting and it's....it could be worse, but definitely not kosher.

    That's actually the only reason I didn't get a frontier, adaptive cruise. I use it constantly and love it. If that wasn't a need, I'd be in a (5A, to be fair) frontier in a heartbeat. Probably the P4X, might as well for how cheap they are. Either that or a diesel Z71 :p but, as it is, I love the tacoma with adaptive cruise in the 6A.
