1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Got blessed by a red tailed hawk today on a walk. These are 8-9" long.

​

 

Awesome patterns. I’m a bird nerd of sorts, we have all kinds of birds of prey out here!

 

Needs a red velvet pimp hat to go with it

 

but its in Billerica....

 

You’ve been there? My aunt lives there and I’m in the next town over so i know the area well.

 

There's a pair of red tailed hawks nested about 75 yards south of me in a pine tree. They like to hunt squirrels in the stand of trees behind our house. They often drop feathers around the house, but these are huge, found them about 100ft from their nest, saw the second one drop. No clue what it was doing up in the nest, but felt pretty fortunate to be the first one to stumble across. I think, based on shape and size, one is a primary, other a secondary?

 

Yeah, but he's Bill, so of course he's partial to Billerica. It's like a portmanteau for Bill America.

 

Its weird that it’s not another English town name being New England and all.

Guess its better than living in a town called Braintree.

 

Usually every year we’ve had a active nest in the neighborhood, like 3 houses down across the alley, I didn’t notice them as much this year, we’ve got a owl nest a few blocks south as well, it’s awesome to hear them at night

mama bear caught this beast across the street at my neighbors house last year sometime

 

Here you go, I might've posted this on here before, but this is from summer of '21. Taken from the driveway, just outside my backdoor. One of two nearby couples, after capturing a squirrel, which it picked apart for a minute before flying off with it.

​

 

It shit on you?

So you plucked it?

 

OK, I think I found something interesting...

Nope

 

No automatics! I also found a few early cts-v's, but it doesn't show the drivers side, shows 2 accidents, and it's in Albuquerque. There's 2 more ats's, but they're in Michigan. If this forum has taught me anything, it's avoid vehicles from the rust belt. And just avoid Michigan in general.

 

Yes but only if they come in manual

 

Government Motors, 4 banger, Nope

 

Turbo 4 banger. With a stick. And it's nice inside.

 

Still a GM and a 4 banger.
Only post buyout GM I'm remotely interested in is one with a v8 and 2 doors

 

Okay I clicked your link. I retract my estimate. That's a big house. Price to finish would depend alot on level of quality with materials used as well as labor, but definitely into 6 figures. The purchase price is way too high for something needing that much work, even where I'm at. On the other hand, for someone wanting to do a big remodel (like moving walls and changing structural layout) this is at the perfect stage. Easier to find a house more suited to your needs. Sometimes it's just the location people are after. I've done a few where the people will buy a run-down property, and the first thing they do is demo the house

That's fawking badass

 

To that point, first thing I'd be doing is pulling in a structural engineer for confirmation there's nothing hinky. At first glance, the load bearing walls seem maybe OK, but I see at least two things I find questionable.

 

There are quite a few people who bought two neighboring properties on the water in Cohasset and Scituate where they tear down both saltbox homes and build their new house on one lot and the other lot is for their yard. (These are tiny land properties).

Not going to lie, I'm regretting putting all my money into a year long CD earlier this month. I need this ugly fat chick and a supercharger in my life. I'd name her Gladys.


Gladys the Fattest most Fastest

 

Have a bunch of wallet sizes printed up, and send one to each of us

 

Won't cost you anything to sell that CD at EJ

 

I like that. It's begging for bigger tires though.

 

That's good to know.
I'm trying to work on my impulse control though haha

 

More questionable financial advice

"Cash out your interest earning CD so you can buy a 4th depreciating asset".

Straight out of Empty Lords playbook.

 

*3rd, but I'd sell the 03 if I bought that fattie. So it would be the 2nd
