    setting up a trust fund

    I'm at the point, I'm doubtful I'll personally have kids at this point, but I have a 1yo niece (and they have another on the way). I am in better financial means than they are and I really want to set something up for both of them that I can take a dent out of college expenses. I'm not...

    Watch Repair Chicago

    replying to follow the thread, also curious. There was a place in Arlington Heights my family used for decades to maintain a few very temperamental old clocks (like a 17th century french clock). Never personally been there and have no idea their experience with watches, but I have a few...

    Criterion collection movies

    I've picked up a lot of Criterion edition movies over the years. If nothing else, I love the additional attention to audio detail. Usually it's been picked up because it's been a movie on my list but lately it's been picking completely random movies just because of the Criterion name and...

    Eames Lounge Chair copies... worth it?

     when you say brazillian rosewood, I almost have to assume you are talking about bocote. I had been working in it for many years for any project I could. It's qualities are amazing, it handles extreme temperature cyclings well, it has a naturally oily finish that doesn't require any...

    What stereo(s) do you listen to? What do you want?

    For personal listening, I am a sucker for tivoli (or if it's at work, grado headphones). I got an A/V question. for my home theater I have Polk RTi12's all around and whatever the matching center channel is. It is nothing really fancy but they are decent speakers. I've blown out two mid-tier...

    sub 50k cars

    ok so I am getting to the point that the car I roll up in makes a difference professionally. I already have a dedicated road course car and a little honda hypermiller.... neither of those are going anywhere but I need something on the professional end. I'm a car guy: I have a penchant for...

    Contract worker

    I can only assume by your user name that you speak authoritatively on the topic and that was exactly what I was looking to know so big thanks for the input, that was exactly what I was trying to figure out.

    Contract worker

    OK so monday I may accept a contract engineering position. I have always been salaried and have a bit over 2 weeks before the start... Is there a financial benefit to starting and LLC and registering the work under that? This would move to direct in 3-6 months.

    Property Share Advice

    So long story short, my friend group have been making use of this lake house for the past 15 years. It is without question, mine and my friends happy place. It was owned by my friend's grandmother who passed away at 93, due to family disputes, it is getting sold. Between me and another...

    The Official Beer Thread

    ya Modus really is the highlight. on a similar note, always heard rave reviews of Revolution Brewery, never had them. picked up a 6-er of cans of their Anti-Hero IPA. Its more refined than Modus, but I just cant get into it. I'm just finishing up a bomber of their Coup D'Etat Saison, and...

    The Official Beer Thread

     just finished their stateside saison, no specific notes, it was ok. Also had a Monk's Care Flemish Sour which I remembered to be pretty decent, maybe my tastes are off from getting off a cold but it was pretty horrible. much much better was bockor cuvee des jacobins rouge.... mmmmmm...

    The Official Beer Thread

     ya I'll be there. I really wanted to make the opening of their brewpub a few months ago but had to cancel last minute. They are definitely on of those breweries to be on the lookout for. I'm going to be back up in milwaukee next weekend and am definitely bringing home a trunk full of...

    The Official Beer Thread

    had oso brewing's Lupulin Maximus last night for the first time. tiny operation in the middle of nowhere wisconsin, but I've had others from their lineup and they are a real hidden gem and have been following them closely the past 2 years. Most noticably, you pour the bottle and there is a hop...
