hire me to diagnose or fix your: - cars & trucks (incl heavy trucks) - motorcycles (even super old ones) - metalworking machinery i care about fixing things well, and about avoiding waste. i'll make as little waste as i can, reusing as many existing parts/materials as possible.

@_jlevers so if we try to get jobs for you in the @elkenmist neighborhood or in Portland around @BridgeSpacePdx what should we be looking for? We have some other friends who want to get a pop up teaching repair clinic around Portland

oh and i have to enroll in drug testing so i can legally tow said trailer, in addition to getting a special license real world dependencies are proving slower and more expensive to deal with, who knew

frustrating day - couldn't pick up the F250 i bought to flip cus of trailer issues - realized finding a trans for this specific F250 is gonna be harder than i thought (4x4 + manual + small block) - learned i need to do federal drug compliance stuff to tow anything w my truck

@_jlevers Honda CB500X, my first “big boy” motorcycle… eagerly awaiting a little more thaw here before I’ll start taking it out hopefully mid-week, it’ll be high 50s and not raining maybe we’ll try some fire roads this summer; i can’t wait to practice my skills and ride this summer

@leahprime sweet, what're you riding? riding dirt made me a better street rider pretty quickly...my first 30k miles were all street, but dirt taught me how to react when i don't have traction, which can be useful on the street all of that to say, go hit the dirt! just be careful :)

someone just now, for the first time ever, bought one of these models that i've had listed on ebay, and i dropshipped it to them with @sendcutsend unfortunately bc i've had it listed for two years w/o changing the price, prices went up and i lost $2 overall but it's a start!!

@awarenesss debt scares me and i have NO idea if i can make any money with the tool at this point maybe i’ll wait for a good auction printer to show up…i could probably actually get all this stuff for like $3-4k if i find some good scores but then i need to find a place to put it lol

@_jlevers Finance the means of production! That's what debt is for! If you can make more with the tool than the interest on the debt you are good!

i can get a site like Xometry or SendCutSend to make some of em, but i could make them way cheaper if i owned the Means of Production :)
