While our grandson is here visiting, he’s learning the nuances of driving in New Jersey!
The other night, the challenges included bridges, flooded street (it was after the storm), and distracted pedestrians.
But the highlight was getting gas, and saying the phrase “20 regular cash”!
As lifelong NJ residents, we don’t give it a second thought, but I found a Google definition that made me laugh:
What is 20 regular cash?
This term is relevant throughout the entire state. In New Jersey, it’s illegal to pump your own gas, making ’20 Regular Cash’ a common phrase. Translation? “I would like you to put $20 worth of regular gas into my car, please and I will pay with cash.” The amount of gas received for $20 may vary.
Mid-Summer Cleaning
We are now at least 9 weekly tenants into the summer rental season (depending on the owner start date) and the properties are beginning to feel their “age”.
Extra attention is likely needed on the ceiling fans, air-conditioning return vents, and outdoor living spaces. The weeds in the landscaping and/or stones may be taking over the yard. There might be multiple empty containers of shampoo and pieces of used soap in the outside shower. The drip pan under the grill probably needs to be emptied.
It’s always worthwhile for owners to be on hand for the occasional change-over for these reasons.
If you need assistance with extra projects , I am happy to make recommendations.
