Seems as if the cabinet or the part under it over the refrigerator
is
askew. And why didn't you get an under cabinet microwave? They have
built in filters for recirculating the air from the fan. And if it
is
your office or hideaway, I would think you fit in well in San
Francisco
with those tea cups and pitchers on the dustcatcher shelves.

Either your eyes are askew or you are not used to the distortion a
semiwide angle lens can impart to angles. I didn't get an
undercounter
microwave because I didn't want one. How's that? The "tea cups and
pitchers" are part of my wife's collection of whatever the hell that
stuff is called.

Now, you can get back to your day job of painting garages.

Bill get a promotion? Good for him.

I can afford better than a cheapo lease Ranger in my retirement. Maybe
you

Yeah, what with your handyman job and all.


Poor Bill. If he had a head on that pencil neck and narrow, girlieman
shoulders... I'd explain it's hardly worthwhile leasing an expensive
vehicle when you only put 4500 miles a year on it.


There is only valid one reason to lease a vehicle. That is if you can write
off the expenses to a business. If you buy a vehicle, there are limits on
the depreciation deduction. Otherwise, leasing is buying a car with no down
payment and paying a premium interest rate. Has nada to do with annual
miles driven. If you drive gross amounts of miles a year, the business
deduction may not save you as much as the excess mileage charges. If you
just want a good daily driver, buy a lease return that is 1 - 2 years old
and has 10-15K miles. You will be money ahead. My shoulders have a head
with a brain in it. Is why I would not lease a vehicle. Maybe you can
explain how you are ahead leasing a Ranger. Will be interesting to peruse
the answer.

Simple transaction. Needed something a big stronger to tow my sailboat.
Ford had a special no interest, no down payment deal on Ranger trucks.
The standard transmission models were the best deal at $209.00 CDN a month
on a 36 month lease.
For wife & son use I had to lease the automatic V6 with A/C at $259.00 per
month.

That's $10K over the lease. Plus what is the residual value? Plus the up
front costs?

Buy out cost at 36 months = $14K sticker said truck listed
at $25K
0 down... 0 interest..
Better deal this year... I could buy a cheapo 4 cyl standard version for
$13,800 brand new.
This would have been plenty for a dozen tows each year and occasional use as
a 2nd vehicle.
( plus cheaper on gas)

Is true. Otherwise you are just buying a vehicle with no down payment. Go
for a 2 year old lease return and finance it via your credit union and you
will end up with a lot more money in the bank at the end the deal.
