Where is everyone #5

Reminds me of a guy I used to work for. Dan, big man, stood about 6'8. Was at the shop one day they was putting a truck back together after rebuilding the transmission and doing in out of frame overhaul on the engine. He tells his boy to bring the transfer case over, boy says hang on I'll get the pallet jack. Dan says he don't have time for that ####, walks over and picks up the transfer case, one handed and carries it a good 80' or so back to the truck.

I don't know what a transfer case for an N14 weighs, but I knew then that was one man ya don't want to piss off.

 

That really sucks!! I've always feared that.

 

Makes sense, never looked that close underneath I guess.

 

Tony is a stud — I had a run in with a drill set up about like you described — I limped away with the ring finger on the right hand twisted around backwards — bit broke, or it would have been some real pain.

 

Being right as a man dont always mean your well liked or accepted. You don't cave to popular pressure.

Definition of Integrity is doing what's right when no one is looking.

Me and the lord made a agreement along time ago.

 

That’s nothing new

 

Youre pretty close. The big thing to takeaway is that the fed is considered the safest creditor on the face of the earth, and they pay interest to banks that deposit money there at the "overnight" rate. The fed also sets the interbank interest rate where one bank lends short term cash to another in order to cover day to day withdrawals.

If the unsinkable fed will pay 2% then a bank simply must charge more from a private borrower to offset the increased risk of default. Interest is the charge for bearing risk. Less risk of default means less interest is necessary to lend money.

If the fed drops rates very low, like lower than inflation rate.. it forces parked money to go seek out public borrowers in order to make a return and not be erroded by inflation. So low fed rates means agressive lending to the public. Expanded money supply. High fed rates will suck all the managed dollars into the federal reserve for a guaranteed decent return, meaning less will be floating around the local economy in thd form of loans. Its a risk/reward thing.

 

I hope by spring I've switched from dirt to rock and am working on the driveway and parking lot out front of the shop in preparation to start building.

Asphalt may have to wait until fall.

 

LoL., that sounds pretty neat to me. Kind of excited now to do it!!
God, I'm such a child..

 

I don’t think anyone is going to the pound anytime soon
