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.

I don't think you did. Must have told my wife when you were talking to her on my phone.

Here is my latest idea. Wifi enabled electronic door lock on the front door that allows me to change the keycode remotely. "What's your home address? Okay, that's the key code to get you into the cabin. Enjoy the weekend."

Of course with a back up manual key some where.

As long as one has the means to pay off early great. IIRC Chase is offering a Open a checking account of $5K or more, get $500 bonus from them. You have to keep X in per year. So i'm going to transfer a portion of different accounts to chase. Let it sit the year. Take the 10 % buy 2 more tax stamps.

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.

All the sign up bonus have a spend requirement. as long as you do the spend, and there's no first year fee, if the shoe fits...

Just don't get sucked into the available credit trap. I think you've discussed this before - that you have unused credit - and it's best to keep in that way.

Wish I had taken my own advice 30 years ago.
