:D I mean is there a difference between an Interstate bird dog and an Intrastate bird dog?

Cut the cord. 

See the items below (sorry copy and paste seems to have colored text in a weird way I can't fix):https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_dis...Noted at: 17708.03."...activities of a foreign limited liability company that do not constitute transacting intrastate business in this state include all of the following:(1) Maintaining or defending any action or suit or any administrative or arbitration proceeding, or effecting the settlement of those, or the settlement of claims or disputes.(2) Carrying on any activity concerning its internal affairs, including holding meetings of its members or managers.(3) Maintaining accounts in financial institutions.(4) Maintaining offices or agencies for the transfer, exchange, and registration of the limited liability company’s own securities or maintaining trustees or depositories with respect to those securities.(5) Selling through independent contractors.(6) Soliciting or procuring orders, whether by mail or electronic means or through employees or agents or otherwise, if the orders require acceptance outside this state before they become contracts.(7) Creating or acquiring indebtedness, evidences of indebtedness, mortgages, liens, or security interests in real or personal property.(8) Securing or collecting debts or enforcing mortgages or other security interests in property securing the debts and holding, protecting, or maintaining property so acquired.(9) Conducting an isolated transaction that is completed within 180 days and is not in the course of a number of repeated transactions of a like nature.(10) Transacting business in interstate commerce.It also states in the section following the above excluded items:(c) Without excluding other activities that may not be considered to be transacting intrastate business in this state within the meaning of this article, a foreign limited liability company shall not be considered to be transacting intrastate business in this state merely because its subsidiary transacts intrastate business in this state, or merely because of its status as any one or more of the following:(1) A shareholder of a domestic corporation.(2) A shareholder of a foreign corporation transacting intrastate business.(3) A limited partner of a foreign limited partnership transacting intrastate business.(4) A limited partner of a domestic limited partnership.(5) A member or manager of a foreign limited liability company transacting intrastate business.(6) A member or manager of a domestic limited liability company.

Did you have anything intersting come out of these 30 minute sessions?

I know what you mean by living frugal, I cut the cord on cable years ago.

Why not do both---pay off loan (not a very high interst rate) and be a REI ? 

Investors looking to aid the blue-collar industrial region should look along the main industrial thoroughfares: Hwy 146, Interstate 10, and Hwy 225.Dickinson is in a hole at about sea-level and it gets destroyed every time there is a situation like this where a big storm carries a high-tide in with it.

The ski basin, Grand Canyon, and of course, 100,000 cars per day coming through on Interstate 40.  

In conclusion, flipping real estate is something you can do on the side while keeping your day job and wait until your income is replaced before you cut umbilical cord!

If the appliance cord on the stove burns out, I'll fix it.
