Go drive in Tennessee. The commercial truckers go 15 over and ride the ass of people who only go 10 over. 20 over is common. You thought we had bad drivers here - WA is nothing. Going to the east coast really opened my eyes to southern hospitality - they are nice because they are taking out their aggression on the road.

If they were truly Washington plates, then the only other possibility is Reviver Plate. I believe they are rolling out testing now in Washington State. Reviver Plates are electronic license plates.

Otherwise: California has black novelty plates. Oregon has deep navy blue Pacific Wonderland novelty plates, and New Mexico has black novelty plates with chili peppers.

Thank you for your insights. Figures always look good on paper then reality comes and hits you in the face don’t they?

Your right long distance does have its issues. I used to run operations for a logistics company and had three remote sites across three states I was solely responsible for. Getting stuff done when sprinklers burst, delivery vans caught fire - it’s a headache for sure.

I totally agree with your assessment. We don't make enough alone, and together it only seems to work with the revenue stream.

I am on the edge.

Thankfully, if I did attempt to rent out the old house and we got into a financial situation, I would immediately take the steps necessary to balance the books. I do have a reasonable 401k balance that I would never touch unless it was to pay bills on time while we sold the old house but I would be checking my accounts to head off dipping into the 401k to begin with.

However, do I want an added amount of stress on my life?

For the first time ever my wife and I feel like we are in a good place financially. We can afford our bills, we are building the emergency fund. Once our emergency fund is funded we are going to increase our 401k contributions and loan payments. Now this job opportunity opened up and, you know the saying.. mo money mo problems?

​

The house I live in is in a hot market and its still not cooling. Time on market is 3 days, that is an improvement from 1 day. We do not have enough housing inventory.

This is why I like Washington state exempt salary laws that went into effect this year.

Minimum exempt employee salary wage: 65,478.40

Job Duties: executive, administrative, or professional worker, outside salesperson or computer professional. Requires advanced knowledge in an intellectual field such as science, law,
medicine, theology, accounting, or math, that the employee gets from
lengthy specialized instruction (such as a graduate degree, or a specialized
certification like a certified public accountant). The work must regularly
require the worker to use their discretion and judgment, and cannot be
routine or physical.

Call a lawyer.

Or, if you have a real question, create a throw-away account. Really paranoid? Then sign up for a VPN. Download a tor browser, create your throw away account, change the dates and locations to a city over and at least ask a real question and provide details so we can try to help.

​

In the end? Call a lawyer.

Wife and I have a tradition to put up the Christmas tree the weekend after thanksgiving. Any earlier is just plain disrespectful!

Saw them play at Vans Warped Tour 2001 Ventura California. Lee Ving invited one of their old bassist to play the set, Flea - Flea came on set and Lee screams into the mic, "and you thought I was fuckin' with ya" the crowed goes erupts into a big mosh pit, I got to meet Lee Ving after the set, was one of the best concerts I ever attended.
