    Question - contracting now for a new-build house. I have no issue qualifying for both my current mortgage and adding a mortgage for the new house and then some. Make plenty of money, have probably 25% of the new home cost in equity in my current home. And then have 401k that I could borrow from etc.  One small monthly car payment.  

    However- liquidity and timing is an issue to where I won't have enough cash to cover down payment for additional options for another week (thanks Merrill Lynch and UPS you dumbfucks).  I will have enough liquid cash to cover earnest money (1%) but can i borrow the money or receive a gift to cover the deposit on options or will that eff me when it comes time for final mortgage approval at closing?

    Do you have job openings?  I'm 80 and willing to learn.

    Hot springs Arkansas. Getting to the east coast then northeast for the summer, across the top of America in late summer and early fall, west coast in fall proper, high desert coming home to Texas in December. 

    Probably south east and Midwest in the winter and into the spring, and northeast or mountain states next summer. 

    Goal is to basically have the weather be somewhere between 50-80 degrees the whole trip. 

    Departure date?

    LUV has already had a decent run up from $24 in May.  They should be able to weather this travel mess better than any other. No international exposure compared to the other big three.  Delta projections for recovery were apparently way too pessimistic.  As a result customer service, ramp agents, etc. can't meet up with increasing demand.  Since Buffett owned a huge percentage of DAL I'm thinking he listened too closely to those DAL suits projecting disaster for air travel the remaining of this year.  

    Definitely, I got in big at $24 for the long run. Got in on ERI on the same day and those two have been fun. They both kicked me in the nuts on Friday but that's my fault too

    How is a 9¢ drop in LUV a kick in the nuts?  Especially if you've gone from $24 to $38?

    That was fun but LUV shitting the bed for whatever reason put a damper on my festivities

    Yep. I’ve mentioned it before in this thread. The largest gains after a recession/correction/big drop are typically in a matter of days.

    I know.  I'm feeling like I have good company in Buffett lol.  He bought airlines high and sold low.  Us old folks who are generally pessimistic shouldn't ever time a market.  I just thought the news going into February was sooooooooooooo bad it was time to raise cash.

    About 50% invested. Conflicted on whether I start selling gains or hold and just buy more if we go back down this summer. Anyone like $ZI here?

    I'm about 50% invested too.  Have misread these markets every fricken day since February 1, 2020.  Someone said short S&P500.  If I do it will rocket up like SpaceX Dragon.

    Pussy ain't supposed to be scary shit, but there it is.

    Buddy of mine was going to drop by the house yesterday but had to reschedule because of this, somehow he has ties to the family and this fucked up his day. He's going to come by today so maybe I can get some dirt later.

    Did you ever hear back from bud?  Updates?

    I was there in '83 to watch Texas whip Auburn on the road. They had such high expectations coming into the season and i can still remember how stunned they were when we whipped them. That was their only loss that season and they wound up jumping us in the final AP Poll.

    Game was played in under 3 hours.  Way under.  Oh for the day.

    works very well. 

    I had to use on our Vicky against my better judgement.  After a couple of years we are finally able to return to normal collar and she no longer pulls away.  Those collars are great for getting their behavior under control.  Vicky would lunge at any dog and she has even given that up.  Of course it helps that she was about 6 when this training started and now she is nearly 10

    Wanted to say thanks to Phil Thad and Danna. Signed the refi closing paperwork tonight. Final totals. 2.99% no points. Previously at 4.5%. Cost me about 4k which we rolled into the new loan. I'm saving around 300 a month with my mortgage payments now. Damn once we switched to UWM it went really quick. A sincere thanks to each of you. 

    Surly delivers :)

    Necro bump.  If you didn't already hate Alan Dershowitz enough, the new Epstein documentary on Netflix will add some fuel to your fire.   It's a damn good look at the whole thing.  Although with everything going on, I can't watch more than two episodes at a time, or it just fucking depresses me to no end.

    I finished the 4th episode last night.  Depressing.  A huge shout out to the former PBPD Chief who tried his damnest.  Screw every last person in the PB DA's and AG's offices.  I didn't come away with the disgust of Dershowitz.  He is a defense attorney and they put on blinders to assist their clients.  Same with Starr and the rest.  But for God's sake how in hell could so many in the legal system be so corrupt?  FBI?  Now I hope there is a special place in hell for Acosta.  

    Look, I'm a center right GOP kinda guy in my 80's but I have no use for corruption in any form especially when it involves our governmental agencies who we trust to to look out for the Jeffrey Epsteins in this world and for certain our legal system.  So much fail.  

    As to the rumors, I think Prince Andrew was without doubt caught with his tit in the wringer but I'm not certain about Clinton.  I thought the woman who procured for Epstein was a Dyke.

  14. I still miss those fights after the basketball games in Gregory with aggys back in the early 60's.  The place was packed one night with 7800 fans (tons of aggys) waiting for the annual brawl after the game but this time University officials had cops crawling all over the place.  Lots of us came to the game hoping to see the fight or be a participant but we just stood and stared at each other as no one wanted to start one this night.  This was probably the first time a University used video to record the crowd just in case :).

    I don't know Ricky. Sounds like a great plan, but those travel trailers get really small, really fast.318604e8c0673f95269d5b4629a4eab5.jpg

    Too funny.  I may be the only old enough in here to have actually watched that film the month it came out.  They had this swanky (at that time) convertible pulling the trailer.  Lucy decided to fix supper so Ricky pulled over and let her out of the car and into the trailer.  As the trip began she was falling all over the place inside the RV trying to make a salad.  It was really getting tossed :)

    Never. 

    Glad to hear.  We did as we were too close to Buffalo Bayou.  Back on topic, I wanted to share with you what little I know about RVing.  Our daughter's in laws are experts.  They were State Farm adjusters and traveled all over the southern USA.  They had various fifth wheels, self contained with slide outs, etc.  He (father in law) was an excellent mechanic so they had no difficulties there.  They did encounter some winter weather the one time they went north to Illinois and had to rent a motel because the heat just couldn't keep up with the falling temps.

    Our son-in-law, their son, got the bug and bought a huge self contained RV.  He too has his dad's mechanical abilities.  Their first trip was from Houston To Lafayette and our daughter had stocked it complete with kitchen utensils.  Needless to say the I-10 at that time was a roller coaster and every cabinet door flew open and dishes flew everywhere.  They learned quickly.

    The other experience was a neighbor, a rather nice aggy with lots of tools in his chest.  His Prevost, or Provest, one of those super expensive RV's was used regularly.  On a trip to Colorado he was in the shower and his wife was frantic as water was rolling down the aisle.  She yelled at him but it was too late.  The RV was parked on a slight incline and the water ran with gravity into the electronics bay and shorted EVERYTHING.  

    Be prepared.  I too cannot wait to read of this adventure.  I'm hoping you have a wonderful trip.

    The  fucking saga continues.  

    Her- you know I'd really like a used RV- but not a piece of shit. 

    Me- ok I will check that 2017 Georgetown out that we looked through the window.  Let me just drop everything I'm doing and go down there and see if it works.

    1 hour later (after waiting out a train and a wreck- to get 3 miles away

    Me- So, this thing is really nice inside.  Low mileage.  furniture is clean. It doesn't have bunks though, is that a deal breaker?

    Her- No- I'd prefer bunks but that's not a deal breaker.  Kids can deal with it.  

    Me- Ok- you sure?  Because I'm about to apply for finance and I don't want to be wasting mine or anyone else's time.

    Her- Nah, go ahead- if finance works out we are all good

    24 hours later

    Me- Hey, we got the finance approved, RV qualified for no money down- we can go sign papers and pick it up whenever

    Her- I've been thinking about it- We really need bunks. I want to buy used. There's a winnebago over in Buda that looks good. He said there's a couple people looking at it- but if we want to come see it that's fine.  Can you go over to Buda and look for me.

    And, scene. 

     

    PS- I'm in Kingwood- about 30 minutes NE of Houston. So yeah, not like one of you Austin shagsters getting asked to drop on down to Buda. 

    Have you flooded?
