Had a reservation for tonight at Vespaio. I had never been before and it was a solid meal. Had the burrata, Cacio e Pepe and the lasagna. We overheard the waiter next to us tell the couple that the owner sold the building for 17 million. Nice little payday.
I appreciate that info! My dad actually bought it at a yard sale about 10 years ago and I want to say he paid about $2,000 for it. Never used it. So that $1,000-$1,500 range probably sounds about right.
My dad has a Pitts and Spitts ultimate upright smoker. Maybe 15 years old and has been kept under a shed, not used much. He bought it used. It’s this one https://pittsandspitts.com/product/ultimate-upright-smoker-pit/
Will have to measure the size.
Any idea how much I should ask for it? Not really finding anything online.
We do like the van and have not had any issues with it up until now. We got the 2500 sprinter. I think it is around 20 feet in length. We purchased it in 2021 brand new from Georgetown Mercedes and then had it converted for camping.
The fan for the a/c is making a little noise and of course it went out of warranty in August.
We are having difficulty finding a local shop to service sprinter vans. Shops that service Mercedes, won’t work on the van. Dave’s ultimate automotive said they service them, but I don’t know if they are any good or not. Might need to check some local (Austin) sprinter forums too.
Does anyone know of a repair shop that works on Mercedes sprinter vans in the Austin area? Trying to avoid taking it to the dealership as it is just out of warranty.
My girlfriend and I took her 9 and 10 year old sons with us for two weeks back in July. They love Pokémon and had the time of their lives in Tokyo, especially Akihabara.
Sailing on the Icon of the Seas the first week of Oct out of Miami. My girlfriend is a big cruiser and wanted to try this ship. Hopefully our time is better than the traveler in the article above!
In the middle of our two weeks here in Japan. (Kyoto, Osaka, Tokyo) been pretty hot but still enjoying our time here.
Had a Kobe (A5) sirloin here in Kyoto last night at Mouriya. Kobe on the left, Wagyu on the right. Pretty, pretty good!
I’ve recently started to pay more attention to my investments. I’m 46 and investing for long term growth, not to get rich quick. (I know, fat chance)
I’ve had an IRA and 401k following the total market and S&P 500 (FSKAX & FXAIX) for years.
I recently opened a brokerage account with a 33% split of QQQM, SCHD and VOO.
I also opened a Roth IRA with 60% JEPQ (dividends are reinvested) and 40% QQQM.
I don’t know, am I doing it wrong with these choices?
