It's not even a hurricane anymore. It's a tropical storm, which is nothing more than a regular rain storm. CA can calm their @$$es down.

PSA to those that go to the gym:

1. Get the F*CK off your phone. No one gives a sh!t about your convo nor your desire to make tic tak toe vids. You're just taking up space and in my way.
2. Wipe the sh!t down when you're done. No one wants to absorb your @$$cheek fluids on their clothes.
3. Stop grunting and STFU. No one gives a sh!t about what you're doing and there is a good chance you are lifting way more than you can/should if you are grunting.
4. Slamming weights. If you need to slam weights, you are lifting way out of your league and most likely with very bad form.
5. If you are too busy taking selfies, be prepared for @$$holes like me to invite myself into your pic with the middle-finger salute.
6. There are a million tread mills. If I'm on one, don't come to the one directly next to me when there are others open.
7. For those with bad BO, bathe, wear deodorant, go see an exorcist, do something. No one wants to smell you while working out.
8. If I'm on a station, don't ask me how long it will be and then wait on me. I will take as much time as I want and will purposely take longer if you stand around. Go find other sh!t to workout on.
9. Leaving your water bottle/towel/etc. to hold a station doesn't work and be prepared to have your sh!t kicked out of the way.

Found a IAG Stage 2.5 EJ25 Subaru Closed Deck Short Block. Kinda tempting to get. Brand new for $3,500 and retail is about 1k more.

Quote:
Each 2.5L Hybrid Shortblock will start with a brand new Subaru 2.5L engine case halves in which IAG machines them, and they are assembled together in-house and are CNC milled to accept the IAG closed-deck inserts that transform the block into a solid deck. The unique inserts feature small passages that allow needed coolant flow to the deck surface. The short block is then deck plate bored and honed to 99.75mm in IAG's in-house cylinder hone. The modified case halves are then assembled using a brand new 2017+ 2.5L nitride-treated STI crankshaft that is matched to ACL rod and main bearings. The rest of the blueprinted engine featuresIAG-Spec JE FSR 99.75mm 2618 forged pistons w/ skirt coating, and IAG Spec Tuff H-Beam connecting rods that are assembled with ARP 2000 rod bolts.

This is a great rebuild option for those of you who want an assembled short block built by one of the best industry-leading performance shops available and is rated to 700 BHP.

Just hesitant since even built blocks can blow in like 1k miles lol

I daily my car. Just up in the air about a built block. The RA (the new stock block) tends to fare pretty well but I'd still be nervous pushing over 400whp on it. IAG are pretty reputable though.

"As mortgage rates soar over 7%, an unaffordable housing market is becoming even more expensive"

Once again, media delivering false news. "Mortgage rates over 7%" is very affordable when putting into perspective rates of previous decades (when they were in the double digits) AND incomes were significantly lower. As I have said before, if a potential home buyer is relying on lowered rates just to qualify, they are NOT true qualified home buyers.

Also, mortgage rates now isn't the issue. In addition to a severe shortage of homes, there is also the property taxes AND insurance aspect to think about. In FL, most insurance companies are fleeing the state, thus increasing premiums for the few companies left willing to underwrite in FL. For property taxes, each time ownership changes, this is when the county/city reassesses the home value, thereby increasing your tax liability.

A little off your topic.

As you know, we had a couple of tornado’s come thru the hood. My roof is now leaking so I called a roofer. After he handed me the estimate I asked him what my chances of insurance covering it. He asked me who it was. Told him Allstate.

He said chances are slim and non.

Are you looking at repairing the area of the leak or an entire re-roofing? How old is the roof?

If the leak is from a tornado, I don't see why the insurance company wouldn't cover repairs and may still be worth a shot on filing a claim.

They said it’s toast. Needs a new one. I believe it’s 20 years old but have no way of knowing.
