Used to want a high cylinder index, now I just want a Plaid. Also back into rockets.
Only have a few stocks that aren't $TSLA.

I finally got my new girlfriend today, and the mats fit perfectly. Not as beautiful as my wife, but still a stunner.
Just wow. So smooth and powerful. And the sound system is crazy, esp at 11.
Got the pic, and she went into the garage until she's wrapped.

Keep looking outside to see if anything changed, but the main piece is still missing.

[bowste @bowste42]

@DBurkland Did you walk in and tell the Elevate Living store that your Plaid does exactly that?
I miss Japan.

[bowste @bowste42]

@DWinner1776 @TJTheWheelDeal I'm 'only' at $40.
I finally got my daughter in at $51 :(.

[bowste @bowste42]

@evyeti @KRL_defi_ The dad is in assisted living (paid for with insurance). He is taken care of.

[bowste @bowste42]

@surfranchvibes Yes! Nice addition to your new pond!
Pairing that up with @BoBbyPleWniaK's outremer will be sik.

[bowste @bowste42]

@DBurkland @teslaflexx I haven't had mine long enough, only 7k miles in the first 2 mo.
I keep using Plaid. I'm told that will get old, not sure how many decades it will take though.

[bowste @bowste42]

@Michael73764253 @cantonmeow At least I diversified into mtpl and asst as well.
Oh wait...

[bowste @bowste42]

@SeekUpUF @SawyerMerritt @SpaceX Look at you Mr Optimist, hoping you'll get more than one!

[bowste @bowste42]

@Gustavia_Bones @TheJusticeDept You are right. They did lie. They pretended to be a much much smaller ship by calling themselves the Davina.

[bowste @bowste42]

@Gustavia_Bones @TheJusticeDept "The M/T LENORE has a deadweight capacity of 300,976 tonnes.
Dimensions:
Overall 333 meters
Beam 60 meters
Draught 20.0 meters

These specifications indicate that LENORE is a large crude oil tanker, designed for significant cargo transport."

@iliketeslas @grok @jeremyjudkins_ I have several options that reliably crash the price.
#1. I buy shares
#2. I buy Calls
#3. I sell Puts
#4. I mean to sell Covered Calls but I don't get around to it.

All of those have been proven to work again and again.

[bowste @bowste42]

@BoBbyPleWniaK Srsly. It was a $90 cushion and 5 days.
On Wed near close it was a $130 cushion and 2 days.
I decided to let it ride and just get the max value out of the PM Put. Woops.

[bowste @bowste42]

@BoBbyPleWniaK I though tsla was bad.
On Monday, when $MU was $1,040, I sold a 6/5 950 Put.
It dropped $85 yesterday and $95 do far today (currently ~$900).
If I was like you and had paid attention, I could've closed it out at a 70% gain before it dropped instead of watching it go -$50.00.

[bowste @bowste42]

@TeslaAndDoge It's not that low! There's a lot more 9s in that march - FSD would be jealous (probably 99.9999).

[bowste @bowste42]

@JCChristopher It was in Mad Max mode!

[bowste @bowste42]

@Irish_CLE @tag36l @teslaownersmi @Smokehbear @herbertong We don't live in IL, it was the first state we passed thru with tolls decades ago.
Never a maint fee, just a min balance.
Minnesota's transponders work with ezpass now, so we'll just use them in the future.

"Better Option for Rare/Occasional Use: Get a Tag from a No-Fee Agency
Your friend can open an account with any participating E-ZPass agency (no residency requirement for most). The tag works fully in PA (and ~19–20 other states) at the discounted E-ZPass rates.
Top low/no-fee recommendations:
New York E-ZPass (e.g., via Thruway or MTA): Often no monthly or annual fees by law for basic accounts. Great for occasional users.
Massachusetts E-ZPass: Typically no ongoing fees.
Other options like Maryland or Virginia can waive fees with minimal use.
How to do it remotely:
Visit the agency's site (e.g., https://t.co/ZthPqAHxu7), register with vehicle/plate info and a payment method.
The tag mails quickly; it activates for PA tolls right away.
Set low auto-replenish or monitor manually since usage is rare.
This avoids even the small $3 PA annual fee while still getting the big toll discount on the few trips he does take. Many out-of-state drivers do exactly this for PA Turnpike travel."

[bowste @bowste42]

They have a monthly fee?
My while family has had an i-pass (Chicago area) forever. It's good everywhere ez-pass is. There's never been a monthly fee, sometimes I haven't used it for years. It's a must-have if you drive east/west (from IL to NY or DC).
Half the price for tolls, no stopping.

"Illinois uses I-PASS, which is fully part of the E-ZPass network.
Your Minnesota E-ZPass (or any participating state's) works seamlessly on Illinois Tollway roads (and vice versa), including the Chicago Skyway and Indiana Toll Road. I-PASS users get a 50% discount on Illinois tolls compared to cash/Pay By Plate rates.
Getting an Illinois I-PASS Remotely (Non-Resident Friendly)
Yes, you can easily get one from Minnesota:
Best option: Online — Visit https://t.co/U5SDvAvv4n or the Illinois Tollway site. Create an account, provide vehicle/license plate details, and order a free I-PASS Sticker Tag (windshield-mounted, no battery). It mails to you.
Sticker tags activate immediately for Illinois roads and within ~24 hours for other E-ZPass facilities.
No residency requirement — just valid vehicle info and a payment method.
Phone: Call 1-800-UC-IPASS (1-800-824-7277).
In-person (if nearby): Jewel-Osco, Road Ranger, or Tollway Customer Service Centers (small retail fee possible at stores).
Upfront costs (varies slightly by source, but generally low):
Sticker tag: Free when ordered online or at a service center (older transponders had a $10 refundable deposit, now credited to your balance).
Initial prepaid toll balance: Typically $20 minimum.
Auto-replenishment setup recommended (e.g., 10% of average usage or $10 min).
Monthly/Ongoing Fees?
No monthly or annual account maintenance fees for standard I-PASS accounts. This makes it attractive for occasional users compared to some other agencies.3b2e4853bfa6
You’ll only pay actual tolls + any low-balance replenishments. Keep contact info and payment method current to avoid issues."

@alter3d @optionscjp Wait, what? You had to sell them at a loss? That sucks.
Hopefully your Hummel collection is still intact!

[bowste @bowste42]

@BoBbyPleWniaK Will you have induction cooking or propane? How much charcoal can you stow for the steaks? Did you get a chest freezer to hold all the meat you'll need when you aren't near civilization?

[bowste @bowste42]

@CGCombatVet @surfranchvibes I had Ara read it to me.
