    So, by the time I got the tire changed, shitty Les Schwab was closed (so was awesome Discount Tires though). I ended up at a Tires Plus and the cheapest tires that they had was going to be $105. **I was getting the cheapest tire because my tires should be covered under a warranty with Les Schwab and I'll take it in tomorrow when I have time.** Anyway, the tire was going to be that much. The guys says, "I'll give it to you for free if you apply for one of our credit cards." DONE and DONE! Free tire for me. I like making deals.

    I've started a second LLC, and I was documenting everything I was doing to make a how-to thread on here at some point. I'm not sure when that is going to happen, but I think the first piece of junk mail that I got after filing for the LLC name and getting a Tax ID number was inside of 10 days. I hadn't even memorized how to spell my LLC before I started receiving spam in my physical mail box.

    Likewise. even with that LLC closed, i still receive mail telling me how they can have my business REACH THOUSANDS OF NEW CUSTOMERS. For a small monthly fee, of course.

    Public records harvesting?

    I suppose with the looming unemployment this year unless things take a big turn around, I should think about another LLC (had one 25 or so years ago in another state) so I can possibly do some subcontracting work.

    Oh I'm sure. Right from the Colorado.gov or the IRS. Those are the only two places that even knew the business existed when I started getting spam. Same thing with getting a PO Box. The only mail I ever received was from American Express and other businesses trying to get me new customers or save me money on business supplies.

    So who knows about becoming FAA certified for flying drones. My company is making a big deal about it (It's a 63 question test!), but I feel like it's something I may start looking into on my own. They describe it as basically testing to be a pilot, but then only flying drones. I'm mostly curious about the cost. Anyone gone through it? I know we have pilots here, but I imagine what they go through is more involved.
