Oh yeah thanks for stopping by and going over the machine, appreciate it.
KNEW I FORGOT something. Irv, did i tell you i have a mini split installed in the shop [LOL]
Listen bub, I've got the cash for the car. Many credit cards offer so many points if you spend $3,000 in the first three months. I plan to use that calculator to see what kind of benefits I can get if I put $7,000 - $10,000 onto the card. For example, maybe there is an initial bonus period where you get double points for spending or something. It's worth a look at the least.Quote:

Of course with a back up manual key some where.

So I was looking for thread online and ran across this: http://www.amazon.com/Superior-Threa...=sr_1_5&sr=8-5
1,000+ yards for $24 is a pretty good deal, considering I've been paying $3.99 for 150 yards. BUT, if you click the link, scroll to the bottom review and look at the middle picture, you can see that this roll of thread is about the size of a carton of milk. If I bought that, everything I sewed for the rest of my life would have to be orange.
Your spindles wouldn't hold it. We could fab up a coil wrap machine to transfer to standard sized spools. OR i could turn down some nylon spool holders to run off of.
3 day rentals first.
There is more appropriately sized spools, just need to find the right seller.
Agreed on 3-day rentals. Think I could find some mountain bikers on here for a free weekend in exchange for some reviews. Okay, going to bed in a bit.
Overnight, 2 day tops. You want good reviews. NOT a gypsy caravan . I agree on a few comps with serious feed back, suggestions, etc.Quote:

Wish I had taken my own advice 30 years ago.
I'm currently sitting on about $60,000 of available credit with almost 99% of that being available. Should be able to avoid that trap. I don't want more debt, as even a small amount can quickly eliminate any benefit from rewards.
I'm interested in what kind of rewards are available with a $450 annual fee. My Amex Blue Cash card has a $75 annual fee that pisses me off. I can't imagine $450.

Especially since 33% of the 60 is available in credit cards, such would be a terrible way to try and manage an expensive emergency.
There's a trick for that. You set a coffee mug (or otherwise-appropriate-sized container) at the back of your machine, near where the spindle sits, and place the large spool in there. Then thread your machine as per normal.Quote:

(Whoops, I meant 400-yard. Thanks for catching that, Irving!)
You mean 400 yd spools?
Yep! They're in neutral colors: Navy, tan/beige, black and white.
Got a new cabinet for my reloading stuff. Needs paint and leveled up and it'll be GTG.

My philosophy on credit card rewards is that it would be safer, quicker, and less of a hassle just to pick up some side work or sell some old stuff than to try to manage the points and deal with those scammy credit card lowlifes when trying to cancel or make changes. It just seems like a really silly, tedious, and risky way to try to get ahead in life. ...In fact, I can't think of a single successful or wealthy person who got there with credit card rewards points.

I think if you're following those two rules, you'll be fine. Clipping and using coupons is good if it's worth your time and effort. I'm not sure that the advantages of credit card reward programs are worth the time and trouble for most people. Of course, the credit card companies want you to believe that they ARE worth your time, because that's their sales pitch.
Yep, credit card companies get 90 out of 100 pepper who apply for benefits.
I know a reasonable loan place. No Credit Check, Modest collateral and you're GTG
As long as it doesn't stay locked your good. Lock it and there's a serious bomb sitting there.Quote:

I used my Amex almost exclusively for business travel and personal expenses for years. Hell, I put $24K of dental work on it one year. Enough to pay with points for a pretty swanky 7 day cruise and a lot of the extras.Quote:

Having kids and a Grandkid out of state requires some personal air travel a few times a year and it's nice to have it covered.
That makes sense. My FIL gets tons of miles and Marriott points from his job that he gets to keep for personal use. Credit card rewards are definitely worthwhile in some cases... like when someone else is paying the bill. [Neene3]Quote:
