    Yet another instance where they should have used metal, instead of a cheaper plastic (or plastic like) material.

    HIPA brand oil filter for lawn mowers

    The general impression (so far) I got from handling this filter is that it's perfectly fine and I would buy it again. The fact that HIPA is one of the more well known brands was one of the reasons I bought this one yes.

    HIPA brand oil filter for lawn mowers

    Not really, even though I probably should. There is a general lack of filter analysis for lawn mower / small engine specific applications anywhere on the internet (as far as I can tell). I figure I am doing at least something by posting the pictures of this one.

    HIPA brand oil filter for lawn mowers

    Maybe it's not obvious from the install picture, but there is really only room for s really short like 2" tall filter there. If I were to use a taller filter I would have to remove the wheel to remove and install it, plus I would be risking the tire hitting the filter, or debris on the tire...

    HIPA brand oil filter for lawn mowers

    A WM filter won't fit. It has to be short or it will hit the tire. It wasn't $9 when I bought it. It's cheaper with a 28% off coupon.

    Retirement investing...

    Good information, but for state income tax purposes retirement income usually has to come from a pension / 401K / IRA. If you have income coming from a taxable account, like dividend income, it's still taxable at the state level.

    In Maryland it's treated differently for income tax purposes. Already on my long list of reasons to leave Maryland.

    Retirement investing...

    I've thought about doing that. In retirement the fees would be less. The reason why I don't already do it is because the state of MD taxes 401K money differently from IRA money. I'm not sure if any other state even does that.

    That's really cheap. How did you manage to get health insurance (I assume that's just for you) so cheap?

    Taxes and fees on a two-day compact car rental at SEA airport, over 45 percent taxes/fees of $75 USD

    Is this a Seattle thing, or an airport car rental thing? I understand that renting a car at the airport is always a ripoff, and you should make your way to an offsite location to get a rental car.
