Can't get 93 here. Supreme grade is 91.

New truck requires 91 I was told by sales guy. I haven't verified that with the owners manual yet.

You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.

I couldn't believe that a 1/2 truck was requiring premium fuel so I just had to look it up. Apparently according to the owner's manual you can run 87 in the 6.2 but to get the advertised HP and MPG you need to run 93

I was also confused at a 1/2 tonne needing premium. Thanks for clearing that chit up.

I’m also just pushing refresh over and over. I’m on zombie time. Going through a no sleep cycle right now.

So far, fuel mileage has been pretty good and about 2 miles/gallon better than my old truck ('15 with 5.3l). First tank of gas averaged 18.7. Next 2 tanks were 19+ but they were pretty from the trip to Reno which is all freeway with some mountain driving (over Donner pass).
I'll try to compare my normal driving routine with this tank. Old truck was in the 16's for normal driving.

You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.

Sunday afternoon I smelled a particular smell coming from my neighbors garage so of course I went over to investigate and to see if I could procure some of the source of the smell for myself. She was a D1 softball who is now in her early 30s and thought she could jump over a fence like she used to but instead tore her ACL and meniscus when she landed so she was using this plant for its pain easing benefits. When I asked if she could get me some she called over this dude. This guy was a turbo manlet ginger tradie. I introduced myself and he immediately made a crack about me being from the sticks because of my accent and asked me where I was from. I told him Alabama and I asked him where he was from and this fool is from the most white trash place in Mississippi which by default means its one of if not the most white trash place on the planet. He then proceeds to make fun of the state of Alabama while wearing, I chit you not, a houndstooth Alabama baseball hat. He is an excellent example of both the town he is from and the University of Alabama's sidewalk fans

If we have an advisory panel hitting F5 I will get some geezer opinions then.

I am effectively at my limits in my current job. I am being deliberately vague with some of this because with my actual title you are one jump away from my linkedin.

I was an exec for a $200M/yr company, who was then bought through a series of M&A by a larger group, we are now $1B/yr combined as a group. The work my company does is the same as everyone else, but my company specialized in way riskier projects ($$$).

Our company had the strongest balance sheet and margins of the group by a mile. Others were hammered by COVID while we grew our backlog, we are knocking out earnings forecasts and setting a record quarter every quarter while the rest of the group treads water. Some of it was luck and timing, but a lot of it was how my department developed and maintained business opportunity.

I was tapped by the Mothership CEO to take my same role across the combined group, use our 'magic' to diversify and grow all of the businesses. I have been working with the Mothership for 6-8 months now and its not working.

The place is filled with people from the COO down who have worked their entire careers at one company and nobody actually wants any change. That and the roles and DOAG of my department are so different that I cant push change if I wanted to, over there my job is a glorified working middle manager. I just don't have the authority or say in their business, I just make sure the status quo is maintained.

I do see a path to change. I could go to the top, grab the CEOs of all companies, break up the logjams and chart a course for change but I keep coming back to the fact that I just don't want to.

I have been 60 hr weeks since the shift in October, and I just dont have the energy or desire to spend that much time breaking up old processes and swimming upstream for 2 years in their company. I am fed up with their management group and bored to tears by their business. I am missing too much at home, and I am just getting very run down.

That and in the two years since the sale my original company has gone from $200M/yr to $400M/yr, with a very grey-haired Senior Exec/Board. Now with my time being diluted, my original business is starting to show cracks, the things I looked after and worried about and kept stress-testing as part of my day to day just arent getting done by anyone else. I really see a better opportunity there for myself long-term.

I have a meeting with my old President Friday to talk about it.

- I could pull the pin on the arrangement and he would back it up, he sees how the original business is suffering and misses having me as his fixer knocking heads across departments.
- On the flip side I hate tapping out, there is a path here to success for a Billion dollar organization.

Its a one percenter income either way, so the money discussion is academic.

I need to get my thoughts straight on it by Friday.

Seems like a really easy decision to me man. Once you've reached a certain level of comfort I'd never trade 20 hours a week for any amount of money

If money doesn't matter, do whatever brings you the most happiness and peace. 60 hours a week is no way to live for too long.

My dad has always said happiness is great, but peace is better. He's right, inner peace is much more important. I use that a lot to guide my decisions.

Im being a little glib with the money. 5 yrs from now its potentially the difference between $300k/yr and $600k/yr plus stock.If I can make the change and build the role I want over there. Andif I live that long, my fitbit is giving me a D- on stress management this week.

There isnt that much more comfort, but itcould pull in that retirement age by 10 years.

Peace isn't as much of it for me, what I lost is interest. This is new to me. The work we do at the old shop is infinitely more interesting, and by my own curiosity I would understand these projects right to their DNA by the time we had a contract. I've gone from leading international delegations to Greenland to preparing work pipeline reports for investor conferences.

I just cant get there mentally, the old job was no picnic but that what was carrying me through the worst of the busy times before.

I think if you’re doing a job that is uninteresting, stressing you out and you’re working 60hrs a week and missing your LIFE... but you have the option to go to a job that you enjoyed, felt successful in and you were comfortable with the money, then... the answer is right there.

You get ONE childhood with your kids man. If you work through it, you work through it. You will never get those days back. In 10 years when your kids are teens and want nothing to do with you anyway, you can work 60 hours to make huge money and $600k/year and shorten the time to retirement and spend time with the grandkids.

So, what’s the priority?

Wish I had some words of wisdom. I don't. Everybody is a little different.

I sacrificed a lot of family time in the early years in order to help build this business. It's now built, so I now have the freedom to spend with my family.

I'm not sure about the cost of living up there but it wouldn't even be a question to me. The last job I was at I was stressed out constantly and had no idea how badly it was effecting my life. I went from sleeping till my wife woke me up on the weekends (9am at the earliest) to waking up by myself around 7am and in a great mood. That's just a small example but everything is like that for me now. In general I'm just so much happier than I was before. They could offer to triple my current salary to go back and I would turn it down ded fukn srs. If they had done that before I had left I would never have considered leaving because I had gotten so used to my routine I had forgotten what it was like not being stressed out constantly

Cost of living where I am is lower than most of Canada, when we're talking about living a comfortable middle class life the salary jump would make no difference.

My wifes been tolerant, we have some friends who are really suffering between loss of jobs/businesses/houses so gratitude in spite of suffering right? But I know shes tired of the hours, and she's not the kind to push me one way or the other.

I have been making as much time for family and her as possible so I havent been a ghost, but i'm either spinning plates at Company A, putting out fires at Company B, or running home to make sure I am there for a couple hrs before kids go to bed before finishing up whatever I am behind on.

End result has been zero down time for me, and getting to eat out of a bucket of chit at three different places depending on who I let down that day.

I'm waiting to see if anyone tries to build hype around taking over the world at the helm of a billion dollar multinational.

Its exciting to talk about but the reality of it is revolting when I really think about it. The higher up this ladder I climb the further I get from the part of the work that I actually enjoyed.

End result has been zero down time for me, and getting to eat out of a bucket of chit at three different places depending on who I let down that day.

Yeah that doesn't sound sustainable.

Its exciting to talk about but the reality of it is revolting when I really think about it. The higher up this ladder I climb the further I get from the part of the work that I actually enjoyed.

less time and more money for what?
Honestly, is your life going to be any different making 25k a month vs 45k a month?
Based on your willingness to drive 10 yr old cars with cloth seats, I would say no

I’m not really trying to ear beat you!!! Your wife (if she is a good one) will want to support you in what YOU want. If being the 10k/day CEO is what you want as top priority... then ok. But based on the stuff that you have said to us in here, it isn’t. Don’t miss your kids baseball games for company meetings. Because to the company you are just 1 worker, easily replaced. Your son only has one Dad and he will remember that stuff. Maybe watch or rewatch Hook with Robin Williams. I’m NOT saying people working their asses off and working a million hours are doing it wrong. Just... remember what is important to you. I may remember it wrong but I feel like you worked hard to get that little boy in the first place.

And TX, it’s not always welcome and I don’t want to be that annoying fat bish in the thread that over steps and thinks she knows everything. Your situation is totally different too. Your wife isn’t just more $$ or a company. There is emotion, a marriage, the past, kids with you. I HAVE told you what I think though. I think I even apologized after because I thought I went too far.

Thats too much house man IMHO. We have 4300sf. Too much! Good financial decision but maintaining is Redick. 3000 is all you want without a frigging staff to maintain.

oh yeah, it’s got to be a bitch to maintain
It’s him, his wife, a 7 yr old and a 4 yr old
Monthly nut on that thing is $5k+
Not jealous of that, but the place looks like a resort
Taxes and insurance are about 20k a year

Even with the mortgage paid off, it probably runs about $2500 a month for taxes, insurance, electricity, etc

Thats a god damn castle. Imagine the money you spend on furniture just to fill rooms you dont use.
