While having a faulty fuel pump replaced which took about two months somebody tried to cut my cats off but didn’t get them off completely there’s just cuts in the exhaust now. Is a dealership responsible for fixing the exhaust? The battery died it was there so long i have to buy a new battery too. They said they might cover the battery. Originally it was supposed to be a week but they said the fuel pump was back ordered so it sat out for a long time outside.

I found a $300 check from nearly 11 months ago while I was cleaning out my old wallet after I got a new one switching things over. Very wealthy former fortune 50 ceo customer. Picture George Costanza wallet. Anyway I went to the bank to cash it and they said it’s over 6 months so they can’t take it. Also my last name was spelled wrong by one letter. My question is would it be petty to text the lady I did the work for and ask if I can pick up a new check. Should I forget about it or just text her

I’m just a couple days away from finishing a several week long painting project. I was given 4000 but 2600 was paint which I wasn’t contracted to supply( the contractor said in a bum cus I couldn’t finance the job). I am owed 9300 and the contractor called me today and fired me. The guy has been nearly impossible to reach for months. I had to wait months for trim guys to show up and cabinets to be installed. All that is left is baseboard and casings. I painted (sprayed and back rolled primer and 3 finish coats) the whole first and second floor and stained many doors and fixed plaster that I wasn’t supposed to have to do. Very big house. The person who asked me to do the job asked for 1k commission out of everything for himself which he was paid before even starting to job. Then the old man he is friends with(contractor) found out he got a cut somehow and now says I tried to steal a thousand dollars from him and I’m fired don’t come back to the job( I have tools there, sawhorses etc.) he said my work is poor quality also. about 10 days after starting the contractor asked if I have insurance which I didn’t so I bought which was another 900. Seemed fishy like he should’ve asked before signing contract. I’ve painted for 15 years and never been asked for insurance I always deliver excellent service and finished product. Contractor also mentioned he was in Vegas which is why he was hard to reach for a little while. I have the feeling that I was set up and the guy never planned on paying me to begin with. I have done a lot of jobs for the guy who referred me to his contractor friend and he knows I do great work but he got 1k and doesn’t have my back in this whole situation. The home owner even added multiple accent walls that I didn’t say anything about but they added on work with those. Now I have to sue the guy and have never don’t anything like this before. Very lost any advice would be much appreciated. Oakland county Michigan.

I’m going to usvi St. John in a few weeks and plan on fishing a lot. I’m going to mostly be fishing from the beach/ shallow waters and will take a 16ft whaler out for a day also so not super deep but hopefully I can find some mahi mahi is the biggest thing I plan on going after. What size reel would you recommend as my one reel I bring with me. I was thinking 8-10k Shimano. I never was any good with baitcasters it would have be a spinning reel. Any feedback helps thank you.
