That is how you do it. Now you can save all your money with no mortgage. Sell this home after it appreciates plus the money you saved and get a even better home if you want. Or just have money in the bank even smarter. living beyond your means, whatever they may be is stupid. That is NOT the American dream. Even though it seems to mostly to sadly be the case in most instances. I constantly see people running up credit cards, then going babkrupt and shit like that. No kind of way to live. people financing a fridge at AAron's ETC. very bad news. I understand if you are absolutely poor than you just need a fridge at any cost but anyone with employment should be able to do better. Even if they work at MCdonald''s. You would be surprised that but a few people have very carefully budgeted and saved money at those type of jobs as well. If you have any kind of a decent job like skilled labor, construction trades ETC you can save plenty if you do not go spend it all. Then buy real estate with cash. Fix it up, wait a while and flip it and so on. Before you know it you are all set. jinx'd it sounds like you are already in a pretty good spot though. If you are hapy with your home I would just keep putting money in the bank now. Do not buy stocks now the market is too risky right now. It is going to crash soon. Mark my word on that. A CD actually pays less than a good savings account right now. Just do not be tempted to take the money out. You obviously know this though or you would not be where you are already.

And my bike in the back on a trailer....... I will never buy another house and cut another grass ...... My credit cards have balances of zero......

And my business PayPal Master card account has an available balance to use of 100K....... And it's also on zero balance.......

I don't owe anyone........ Zip

I have a secret. I never voted either. I have been a Citizen for a long time. you must be to be a practicing Attorney and most certainly a Judge. I just do not care. The elected officials hardly affect me personally. Or anyone for that manner really. They are blanket laws you cannot control one way or the other anyways. The whole democracy thing is stupid to me. Of course I do not want a dictator but I see no need to vote for our officials just appoint them. the most important people honestly are the Federal Justices and they are in fact appointed! the joke is they are Trumps own people and they are the very ones that keep stopping him! I was simply saying I once knew the man and I would be rather inclined having known him well not to believe al this nonsense. to personally attack the guy is crap. Stick to his job at hand. Like Clintons Dick. What the fuck did that have to do with his job? This shit is so out of hand. that is exactly why I want no part of this crap. Go be my guest to stand in line 6 hours to vote. All the more power to those that do. Great, they deserve a Bozo button. I personally could give a shit less. I have better things to do with my 6 hours, thank you come again. Seriously though, having litle to no effect on me I could honestly care less. It certainly always does make for if nothing else, interesting entertainment though. Have we ever had a president the media did not constantly scrutinize?

Yes, it was not the operating system. That one can run Windows 10 just as well. It was better hardware which is much more expensive than purchasing a new operating system. A powerful computer is of importance to me but then again I cannot exactly ride a bike now!

12 hours? Sure. Went to bed at 12AM, arose at 5AM. That was pretty good for me. The older you get the less you can sleep. Those over 100 are Damn Zombies I tell you. No sleep at all. The issue is it makes one lose their mind, and they do. That is why the Human body generally does not go much past 100 if that. 12 is to much though seriously. A Healthy younger adult should try to get 8. Nothing wrong with 12, probably just not going to regularly happen unless a teenager but they don't because of school and stuff. Plus if you over sleep it will actually make you more tired throughout the day lowering your overall performance at whatever you do. I don't have to worry about it though. I would be very lucky to ever pull off 6 hours again at this point. I do lie in bed when I am in pain but not sleeping. I can lose consciousness from pain but that is different than sleep. In fact it sucks.

No sleep puts you in the grave earlier....... The regeneration of nerve endings and used ligaments and brain cells occur during sleep......

Sleeping is a must......

I got my SS a few hours ago. I would in fact say it is as nice as yours Manny! of course much different as they are all unique but a usual he did a hell of a job on it. It is magnificent in it's own right. these are really outstanding mods once you high polish them and coat them with multiple coats of poly. He put 16 coats. I would say the SS and Java are in the same class. The Java is only better for Manny himself because it is made to his specifications. Otherwise they are about the same price new and the SS is not even truly custom. As in you do not choose exactly what you want. He just makes them AFAIK. Perhaps a choice of the block? Plus I feel the Java is better due to it using a 26650 but the tradeoff is size. The SS is tiny. With the knurled grips it fits my small hand like a glove. If you were 7'2" and had huge hands it is probably not for you then. I would say it is amongst the current highest class of Mods. Mine was more or less brand new. I fully had expected to pay more than they cost from the Modder himself, but alas it was much cheaper in fact. For the price, notwithstanding the saddle involved here it was one heck of a deal for me. The Mod itself plus the finishing. It is one awesome mod IMO. although I will not be using it much unfortunately. Afraid to kill the DNA as they always eventually do fail sooner or later. Seeing as the faceplate probably does not easily come off Evolv will not even mess with it. So once it is gone that is all she wrote. Me, having no access to the Modder. Also, even if I did often small cottage companies like this often just disappear overnight. Although at least he may in fact give warning but my not being part of the group I would not know. Plus if it does not just happen to be broken at that time anyways there is no reason to contact him regardless. I mean in the future, if needing a repair he may in fact no longer even exist. There must be someone that can repair them though. I just do not know whom it is. Manny, do you know someone perhaps? I hate to be all gloom anticipating it breaking but it is inevitable. Plus even if he is around just because it is under warranty with Evolv does not mean it is with him. Evolv pretty much has a no questions asked lifetime warranty. Eve if the problem if not their board!

Anyways, as it stands with mine it is a beautiful Mod. Like a kaleidoscope of colors. Even though much different looking than Manny's I would go so far as to say it is equally as nice. this guy does not make anything but the very best obviously. Considering what I paid, tickle me pink.

That bike is killer Manny. You are still trying to push the Duke? Odd it does not sell. usually those are gone in an hour for $1,200+. As I mentioned perhaps you are asking too little. At least then you do not get PM's with people low balling you.

you sure you have not changed the sharpness and white balance on the camera? If not that thing is nearly rivaling the D850 IMO! that is insane considering it is a phone. I doubt you would go that far but I kind of almost would. Heck, you said you don't even use it. I do not use any of my cameras or phones simply because of the shaking. Even with steadyshot it is too much for it to overcome. I actually like my nex9 better than the D850 though. throw on some Zeis prime lenses and the thing is great and pretty small. D850 with battery grip is huge. almost a medium back size. I have Hasselblad medium backs too. Sad I cannot use them now. I just do not bother selling shit. One of the people finds out where I am at that wants to kill me maybe.

Shit, going to bed. Goodnight folks.

Goodnight...... Epsilon mods is the manufacturer...... And that guy is becoming as well known as Vicious Ant....... Once you are on the Facebook group you can contact Nicholas Foo...... Send him a message and he will tell you where to send the mod for repair.

He uses wood blocks from a Russian, his name is Dmitri Nicholaichuk (Dimec Wood) is his company.......The Dimec Wood guy has sold over 3,000 Stabwood blocks this year.

His wood is well known and probably bought by many companies....... Mozaic (Java) makes his own Stabwood blocks........

Look at this Dimec Stabwood blocks......il_794xN.1805791692_amx6.jpg

As I figured the SS is not truly "custom" made to the extent your Java is but I guess it still qualifies as a "custom" Mod? It is strange that it costs as much as your Java then. If I am not mistaken on the pricing. As I said I fully expected it to be more money than a brand new one. Custom Mods usually sell for more money on the secondary market. For all practicality mine was brand new. AFAIK I paid much less than a new one too. I am elated with this. So that is good news. I doubt Foo is going out of business anytime soon. Since he is obviously "well planted" in this industry". It is just the shipping cost that is an issue then but I hardly mind that. Shit, with any luck it very well might not fail anyways. I do in fact have a handful of DNA's(older) that have yet to fail. My Primo's screen failed within a week however. Shit happens. It is very high technology and not devoid of imperfections or impending failures. Of course this is not like a phone that you can just walk into a Best Buy and have replaced. Good things come to all that wait though. It does not really take that long either. If even necessary ever. Plus I have hundreds of Mods to tide me over anyways. Furthermore I highly doubt Foo is a guy whom returns it to you damaged. I am absolutely sure he packages it well ETC.

So I bought a gallon of juice for $245 and the flavor is good but it sucks for a number of other reasons go figure. Then I stumble upon a gallon for $189! I figure it has to just suck but I press order anyways. I am a gluten for punishment in that regard. I always want something for nothing. So it turns out the stuff is absolutely outstanding! They have 1000ML for $49 or something. Don't quote me on that, don't remember. If anyone is interested I will post the link. however they have very limited flavors in those sizes.

Yeah juice I have been making my own....... I get a menthol-peppermint from Awesometown...... 100ml is $7.99 and free shipping...... I get (6) bottles that last me (2) months.....

The Java is unique in her own way..... I picked everything that I wanted and mine is no longer produced, he stopped in 2016 and he made mine because I offered him an extra premium for his trouble......

Cost wise the Java finally cost me over $900.00 including shipping .......

He hasn't made another since he made mine.......

He hasn't made them as a matter of fact in years......

You pay for what you get....... Ha

No....but tell me she isn't pretty.......ha

ok. I was not wanting you to know it was me. I was hoping you would say here that you had sold it, you didn't, poker face.
I was then going to play with you a lil about it. oh-well.

yeah it's GREAT! the more I look at it, the more I LOVE it.

I am debating poly'ing it. that would make it OVER THE TOP. but doing it without disassembling it, idk about that. the front would be the tough part. and I have yet figured out if I can disassemble it.

btw, did you ever look under the padding in the box ?

I am surprised you sold that Manny you loved it. But the bike.... I am glad they are selling for you. Did the Duke sell yet? Maybe jinx'd will buy it since it seems to have a jinx on it! That Primo looks kind of like mine, but mine is a 21700. It is not coated. That was the one I was speaking of the wood soaked up the juice and swelled. It is half and half. Half burl wood and half resin not actually "Stabwood". That, and the very low serial number is apparently why I had to pay more for it. Last I checked the price had come way down on the Primo 21700. Now it is a very good Stabwood Mod most people can obtain. Better than Asmodus IMO. Although, for the price Asmodus is plenty good. VA is a few steps above though IMO. It is like semi-custom of sorts.

Manny. the poly you put on this primo. did you brush it on ? not that it matters, other than if you did, I would like to know how you did it .
I used those sponge brushes...... Cut the head and made like a 1/4 inch small strip and just run it up and down........

Today.....the same Solarstorm....

Yeah, sponge works if you do not use too much and bead it up, Actually, sponge roller is very good. Brush leaves strokes. Robotic sprayed like Bill here does is best but the machine is $$$, Not worth it for doing a few Mods. I was not here yesterday, Duh. Not sick either. We got a flat at 4AM. On the Range Rover Spare is a bitch. It is under the gas tank. Took my Nurse an hour. We brought it in today to get a new tire. On my custom 25" rim total bill was $1088.12. Fuck me. For a fucking tire. Gotta pay to play I guess. Hope that cooker turned out good. You know, never, ever under cook meat! Can kill your ass.
