    I made a bougie decision...

    In my relocation to the coast, I'd been trying to develop a plan to get out, enjoy the ocean and waterways of this unique piece of coastline. I pulled an offer on a boat slip in one of the marinas after I found they needed renovations assessing each slip owner about the asking price, no thanks...

    Phawk LoanDepot...

    In a thread a few months ago, flood insurance was an issue that I was able to provide my provider to help out. I just went thru a refinancing, selecting Loan Depot, locked in at 2.75% 30yr fixed, although it was an extended process, thought it went well. Until... received notification that...

    Need guidance/help...remodel contractor gone wrong...

    I've been going through a very extensive remodel on my little '57 cinderblock beach bungalow, taking it to the slab and rafters.

    Downsizing vehicle stable...

    I have shared with a few friends of the new path I’m on, moving to the coast, downsizing from my compound to a postage stamp of a lot near the beach.

    Observations at GAA classic car auction...

    Killing time in G-boro, what better place to see such a wide variety of cars from model A to ‘17 McLaren. Had to share of note the FJ40 and LX470 up for auction. The FJ40 did not hit the reserve at $29k, looked very nicely built and professionally painted. The LX is well built with bolt on...

    Since my move to NC some 18 yrs ago, I’ve been stuck living in the land of yuppies and soccer moms, otherwise knows as the Containment Area for Relocated Yankees...Cary. HOA’s, small garages, kids and no room to do what I wish I could do, during the “negotiations” of our downsizing, one of my...

    School me on UTV/SxS, ready to pull the trigger on one...

    Before I do, please educate me on them. I’ve done my best to learn off of Google University, have confidence in my research but...nothing like first hand experience. Now that I’m fully retired, living on my little piece of dirt, I need a utility vehicle for my property. Very jealous of Stan’s...

    RDU fishing guide?

    Weird request...every Christmas, I enjoy hosting my in-laws where I watch my father in-law go through fishing withdrawals. Since he has retired to the FL gulf coast, he doesn't go a day without fishing. He fishes my neighborhood pond, Bond Lake in Cary (where he found a 5+lb large mouth)...

    And, so it begins, head gasket for our FZJ80...

    In a previous post, I'm getting the P401 fault, ordered new parts from Onur, realized that I was over half-way to taking the head off with the intake off, I've decided to replace the head gasket before I'm forced to. The FZJ80 has 165k on it, had 2 overheating "events", one during sustained...

    Tell me if I'm crazy...

    I mentioned in the FZJ80 exhaust modification thread that mine threw a code but I didn't think it was due to the single cat, and it wasn't. Donald (of Henry's) fixed that with fixing the bad weld around the after cat O2 sensor, I stopped by Autozone and found that I have a P401 code. So, I...
