two items of epic stupidity

- I called the mooseknuckle adjuster at Geico (who picked up his phone - what, now that one check is cut you're not dodging me??) to check on the tow bill payment. He pulled up some stuff and said he was going to cut the check. If it was that easy whythefuck wasn't it already done?. Reasons I dropped them like a hot rock.

- The contingent offer on the condo that my parents are up against doesn't even know of their offer yet, because it isn't submitted until signed off on by a lawyer - said lawyer doesn't like one of the contract modifications of their initial offer having to do with disclosure of the HOA's finances, and the HOA hasn't answered that in a timely fashion. So it's gonna be early december by the time they know if they've got it or not.

There's no such thing as a condo without an hoa. They want done with plowing and mowing and leaves and shit, so they're stuck with one. It is what it is.

I could never understand that argument that people who live in a apartment or even a townhouse and how they justify it by not having to do any work it is all taken care of for you. At a house you can pay one lawn guy to mow every week plow and everything and be all set and avoid the HOA bs. At least they are not renting thats for sure.

Condos have always confused me. I just don't get the concept. It's like owning an apartment but still kinda paying some rent.

Hoa dues here are only 210. Can you really get all outside crap taken care of for that price?

Threw the new jack on the trailer today. Need to do something with the bottom plate. It got pretty jacked in the crash, so to speak.

Smike, does your welder reach outside? Probably be the easiest way. There's not good access to bolt a patch on place. Probably need to plasma cut the patch too. Just a 2.5"ish circle in a 4x6ish plate to support the bottom of the jack.

When the jack hit the bumper, it pushed the bottom of the jack forward and ripped the support plate pretty good.

first time I saw those wrecked pics. wow, glad all's well now.

What caused the hitch to fail like that?
