By the way, I went on that Carvana site yesterday to look for a used Mustang.

They have a preapprove for credit thing so I filled it out. Came back 17.9% LOL.

So I called their toll free number and talked to a 'Carvana sales advocate' whatever the fuck that actually means.

So I ask about the loan shark rate and the girl says, '17.9% isn't that high, we go all the way to 28%'

Tony Soprano must own Carvana.

I have paid off 3 car loans from Ford Motor Credit since 2007 and I checked my credit score on that free site. They give you 3 scores. Low was 746, high was 795.

Ford gave me 6.something %. I've bought 2 Fords at 0.0% but that's not the rate for Mustangs I guess.

So anyway, Fuck Carvana.

They don't mention you have to pay shipping on most of their cars either.

When I brought my Ute (pickup) the secondhand car yards wanted the same rate as Caravana. I went to Nissan got a brand new car at 0% it ended up being cheaper to get a new car. The interest would of been around $15,000 over the life of the loan. F that

Finished work super tired but happy with myself. for only having 1 person in the back i finished everything all the prep and i setup so the guys at night and new girl can relax and help her since i know she is nervous since it is her first job. tried my best to restock as much as i could before i left. tomorrow i work with one of the newer guys but idk for someone who has been working there for at least 2-3 months now he is fairly slow could be tired from his previous job but i don't say anything to him.

checked on my sunflowers they are looking juicy af really excited to see them bloom they are at 4 sets of true leaves already and they are supposed to get 3 feet tall but we will see. i think they will get taller then the ones we normally buy at homedepot/lowes though those ones are not even a foot tall.

can't wait for my day off so i can sleep in a little. other then that same shit different day. looks like we are opting to buy a used car i personally don't care used or new. other then that just going about my days slowly trying to unwind from all this stress before i get a heart attack or something.

last day of work for me until im off tomorrow YAY.. super exhausted worked a 6 day work week. stomach is sore as fuck though idk if im constipated or what but thats how it feels. today should be a slightly easy day as i am working back today for the most part all im really doing is prepping in the morning for 1 hour until my partner shows up. it's been extremely slow all week though. i also started to play one of my favorite video games yesterday after taking about 6 months break from it since my mom got her leukemia. feels good to be playing it again. idk why i stopped for so long but i guess it was depression. when i get super depressed i tend to not want to do certain things like watch certain shows or movies, etc..

One Dr's office I contacted today said they require a monthly payment of $150 due to them having a restricted quantity of patients, regardless of whether you are seen or not. I laughed and called another office..
sounds like they have restricted jugulars

I finished stripping one of my trucks for parts today, just need to clean up and make a list of everything that's saleable. So I went down to get my trash barrel from the curb and found a few morels growing by a wood l pile in my yard. I need to read up on these things. I didn't know about them until last week when someone posted pics, I've had them around here for years. I think they're just starting to fruit. I want to try and cultivate /promote their growth now. I'm pretty sure there's other edible shrooms too with the moist woody area i I'm in. There's this huge orange shelf looking one out back I think I read is edible, I need to get a book. I've been trying to get my buddy to spread some psilocybin spores around for years but he's worried about contamination, he'd rather do it in a controlled environment. I just want wild magic mushrooms.

I also got a call from the electric company. Apparently I changed my weekly auto payment to 10.00 instead of 100.00. Oops. That over was 2 months ago. $950 due. FML.
950 plus the 80 bucks you actually paid is 1030.00...that's 515 bucks a month for electric?....do you grow that much or is your electric company selling you platinum infused power?

i'd average it out to 600-700 watts an hour every day, for 24 hours a day between all my lights and fans...plus my house. and my electric bill is usually around 150 a month.
2 600 hps for 12 hours a day, 600 watts of t5s and leds in the veg room for 18 hours a day, 6 inch extraction fan for 12 hours a day, several oscillating units on 24 hours a day....

Yep, and that's when it's cold out. When I add AC to the grow room, and one for the rest of the house, the bill almost doubles in the summer. The average apt around here uses about $50 per month in electricity. I always have to hide my bill, it's pretty much a dead give away...

Yeah, that's about right, we use a lot of electricity. I'd say half of it's my growing, but there's also an electric stove and I cook at least once every day, big screen tv/stereo on for 8+hours a day, a big salt water tank with associated lights and pumps, ceiling fans in every room that never stop, electric drier run at least once a week and a sump pump that's been running for 4 months straight. Plus my roommate works 2nd shift so lights and TV are on for extra hours over most people. Shit adds up. That's not including my garage that's on its own meter. I need to see about changing my provider for a better rate, I think I'm locked at 11.5/kwh, when I can usually find 9-10/kwh, that'd make a big dent in that bill. What I really need to do is look into getting solar panels.

I bought my '13 Camry for $17.7K. It had 2K miles on it. Was a lease car in a fender bender. Had to pay 850 bucks to get it shipped from Indiana. Still a great car, just has some scrapes and dents since the hurricane.
