Got a set of 4"x10"x12' beams last week to dress up the side of the stone driveway between my paved portion and the shop. This damn beams were heavy as hell, drove them in the ground with 3' rebar, shouldn't be going anywhere anytime soon :). Going to give it a week or so hoping for some rain so I can grade the side better and get the rest of the stones out of the dirt section, then plant some grass seed.

Old coffee grounds are great for your BB plants.

We recycle all of ours and have been for years and it goes back into the yard/garden.

USAA will stop seizing troops’ coronavirus stimulus checks after public outcry

USAA Grabs Coronavirus Checks From Military Families

During the height of the Covid19, USAA reduced limits on hundred thousands of CC accounts, increased restrictions on money transfers, increased fees on transfers on brokered accounts, delayed large sums transfers up to 7 to 9 business days.

A backup CC that I don’t use, was one of the accounts targeted, it was reduced a $500 limit from 35k WTH?, this CC I strictly have in case my main CC from Penfed gets compromised.

USAA has gone from great to greedy, and will continue to price gouging to get every penny from their customers.

yep, it's slowly wasting away. Was thinking of moving it to the back yard to clean up the front of my house a bit lol
How many years does it take it in your state before it's considered your property? lol

I would but I stopped brewing my own a few years ago and we have Kurig at work so I can't even get them there. Now I only use instant. I can use it at home/camping/prepper supplies so in terms of efficiency I stopped buying my Illa and stopped using my moka maker.

USAA should be looked into for predatory practices if that's the case. They are starting to sound like Mr Cooper

lol I'd say it's a NJ thing but that truck and it's owner are from PA

Every time I see a picture of that poor front bumper I do a facepalm... That was 100% a bad powder job he should of called the guy back about. My bumper looks like it's brand new and has been sitting outside just as long if not longer. Still feel bad I referred him to that shop.

All of my toys are in the garage. I’m certainly not wasting storage space on a car nobody cares about. If it was up to me, I’m likely going to be parting the other Tacoma out soon. Rent is overdue for the storage.

The shrink wrap didn’t work to well on the left side, the pull string kept getting hung up on the clamp.

I gonna try and source 2 more sections of pallet racks maybe 3 for the shop, gonna look to see if any stores are going out business before I hit the very few places that sell and specialize in selling warehouse type equipment.

check the back of Home Depot and Lowe’s. That’s where I got mine. The price was right.
