Rick, i really hope this works out well for you, but just so you know, that isn't what this thread is for.
It's more of [honking noise] thing

it was an interesting diversion to NYC real estate.
I like the 5 year rent difference between your current rent and market rate. So if you're paying $1500, and he can bump it up to $3200, if you say 5 years of that difference is $102K. Let him go down from there.
definitely do the research on what market rate is in the neighborhood, so you know what your giving him, meaning a giant pile of money in his greedy lap. http://www.theatlanticcities.com/housing/2013/03/why-your-skyrocketing-rent-bad-economy/5069/

Is 5 years enough? He's lived there for 12 years so he definitely has a history as a long term renter. Nothing to say he wouldn't stay for another 12 at least. I think aiming for something close to what you would need to buy a comparable and not have a mortgage over $1500. After all, the reason the rent laws are in place is not to screw landlords but to ensure at least a few not rich folks get to stay in the city.

true dat. The state of grace I'm trying to achieve is is the totally respectable dad-stache, not the ironic Williamsburg mixologist stache.

Does anyone have a bike they'd loan me for my dad to ride while he visits NYC? Size 56-ish.
Tried the rental at Ride, but they don't have much.
I'll clean it up for ya real nice (even if you give it to me dirty!). And we'll pay for it if like, he gets smashed by a New York City cab, or by a grown ass man riding in the park backwards on a skateboard in the dark or something

I do. If you want to schlep to Manhattan.

MY LEFT FOOT
I stole the xray below from my orthopaedist's office. It shows the crazy narwhal-tusk-like pin that was going through my toe until a couple of weeks ago. The doctor's assistant pulled it out with a pair of household pliers. I just thought it was weird and wolverin-ee. Should we start a thread of Kissena medical curiosities?

@Jules I broke my toe playing soccer-barefoot with my son in the living
room a few months back. I buddy taped it, but it didn't heal right so
they had to re-open it, fuse one of joints permanently and hold it all
together with a pin. After the bone fused across the joint they pulled
the pin out. Weird huh? Doesn't compete with the permanent stuff in my
right leg though.
Apr 06, 2013 at 12:26 PM
Yikes. My pinky toe still isn't healed right... Don't want no hardware in there though...

It says it's "portable" at least.
Wait, Aspen? You were SNOW SKIING, weren't you?!?! How dare you jeopardize your professional amateur cycling hobby job by taking part is such risky endeavors!
I racked myself in the shower once when I bent over to pick up the soap.

Sky is without one of their new riders, and slowed another one of their new riders by putting them on new bikes, pedals, and shoes, and then having them do a heavy riding schedule at training camp. Smart.

Yes, Daredevil and Colossus...totally under/poorly represented in cinema so far. Two of the baddest bad ass superheroes ever. Preach it brother Patton!

Totally off topic.
My brother is playing in a gig at Union Hall on Friday night and figured I'd ask the locals among you for a good place to get dinner in the neighborhood (702 Union st at 5th ave). I'm game for anything good.
BTW, my he is playing with Jay Gonzalez (his college roommate) who tours with the "Drive by Truckers." Should be a good show. I may have extra tickets.
Not sure if I am going to make L&C the next morning...
Apr 18, 2013 at 06:44 PM
Rosewater just up the block on Union. Or down on 5th (Convivium Osteria)
Go to Blueprint (on 5th ave) for drinks before dinner.
