The first house my wife and I purchased was owned by a retired aircraft engineer widower. He installed a built-in mini-lathe, mini-mill, a drill press and grinder/sander stand in the basement/workshop/garage along with an upgraded panel and 3-phase power to run it all. It was super handy and was definitely a huge selling point for me. When we moved 4 yrs ago, I ended up taking the drill press and grinder stand, but left the lathe & mill. I regret it to this day.



He also tried to toss in his Triumph TR6 into the sale of the house. It was a beauty but I didn't think it was financially sound to pay a mortgage that included the cost of a tiny old sports car lol

Now over a decade later, I've figured what I'm interested in & wanna do. Might be worth going back and get a degree to make my resume pretty and look for a job that I wanna do... & if you guys are wondering, no there's no such job called "ban hammering members". If I was, I'll prob be rich by now lmao

I got my degree in my mid 20s. Same deal I just didn't know what my calling was until I started flying airplanes. I have a Masters now though and I'm doing alright. This was from my last flight to Chicago.

And you probably regret that too just a little... I mean houses are good debt, cars are bad debt, but maybe you think about it sometimes. The arc where you paid an extra $50/mo and had sweet little convertible...

I laser engraved the logo. It is made in Oregon, has replaceable batteries, adjustable brightness, and a lifetime warranty. I litterally always have one on me. If you start to carry it, you will use it. Press and hold from either on or off to change the brightness.

Tire is just too much.

Interesting. I always wanted to be a pilot but flight school was ridiculously expensive, not to mention all the cost of getting flight hours in. I ended up going to engineering school instead... I have some commercial pilot (FEDex) buddies and they seem jaded and only see themselves as glorified truck drivers, but sometimes I wonder...

Funny enough, I bought the BRZ no too long after...
