Leatherneck

Thanks for the birthday wishes. I took myself fishing this morning even though it was cold, windy & rainy. The water here is still around 50 degrees but I managed to catch a nice hog! I like being retired and able to fish on weekdays.

It's all about confidence. Give it a couple years. Reducing federal spending is like weaning an alcoholic and it hurts.

Been officially working since 1976. Joined the Marine Corps in 1981, stayed 20 years, 1 month and 8 days. Retired for a whopping 2 weeks then began a 2nd career at Comcast that has lasted 23 years. They offered a heck of a retirement package and I took it. Tomorrow I turn in my phone and laptop and ...

We are lucky to live in an area with deep aquifers with plenty of cool, clean water. It is hard however so I use a 5 micron, whole house filter for all water and the hot water has a softener. Since I have been filtering out iron and other large particles, the faucets and plumbing is noticeably ...

Thanks Fellas. Dang, 24 years here. Started as a 39 year old Marine and now a 63 year old Grandpa!

I hope this Christmas season finds you all healthy and in good spirits!

I have done all the cooking in my house for at least 18 years trying at least 50 skillets. I also went from a gas stove to a smooth top. At first I hated the electric stove/oven, but it's all about mastering what you have. I learned to enjoy the smooth top and electric convection oven. I use ...

While it is never easy, I go visit my neighbor, best friend, fellow Marine. This year marks 40 years since his death. I held him as he took his last breath. I still dream of him.

What is a Native? How many times has one tribe/culture/clan/peoples conquered another in what became the United States? We sometimes act like if the Mayflower hadn't landed, the entire country would still be slightly populated with people on horseback. The US got a lot wrong, but more right ...

Merry Christmas SG family. Wishing you a healthy year!

Being a poor Marine Husband and Dad for many years, I became a pretty handy DYI guy. Between home & car repairs, I am sure I have saved $30-40k. Plumbing is my absolute most hated repairs. If I am not 100% sure I can do it well, then I call a pro. It is never "cheap", but a good job and guaranteed ...

I'm lucky I can walk into the local VA clinic and get any jab I want on demand. I got one J&J shot early on, but none since then and do not plan on anymore. The Pfizer and Moderna shots freak me out. My entire family including my 80+ year old parents got a variant of COVID from the get go. All of us ...

There is no longer any unencrypted cable channels (at least that I know of). Systems are regularly scanned for such. Since they have all gone to addressability, some sort of box/device is needed. Many motels and other venues with mass distribution such as a campground, they will have a room with ...

My Wife is a merchandiser and part of her job is making sure retailers are in compliance with putting out "new sizes". Like said, we have seen continual shrinkage, but the last 2 years it has gotten really obvious. I guess it is a way to superficially keep prices down, but you are still paying more ...

Thanks all

Thank you! 61 years young.

24% of my pay goes into an 401K, 2 IRAs and company stock at a significant discount. My goal is to retire in 3 years so a little nervous. I have been told for 3-4 years that I am too aggressive at this point, but have done well. I have lost enough in the last few weeks to buy a Tesla, but I have ...

Every gallon of gasoline saved or megawatt of energy not used is the equivalent of producing more. I believe we will eventually get to the point where renewable energy becomes not only abundant, but also efficient. We are not there yet and and telling people to buy a $60000 TESLA is just dumb as we ...

Really like my F-150 Lariat 5.0, but I dare not let it get below 3/4 of a tank these days as 36 gallons x $4.299 is about $154 of sorrow. Last time this happened, we panicked and bought a teeny weeny little car. Wife hated it, but 30mpg was nice. Wife drives a Jeep Renegade and it actually does well ...

This is one fertile, producing land. I would think that Putin may desire some of their resources

The country has abundant reserves of natural resources, including coal, iron ore, natural gas, manganese, salt, oil, graphite, sulfur, kaolin, titanium ...

Sorry for your loss. They are indeed family. Our last Rotty was the hardest of them all as he was the perfect example of the breed while being a terrific family dog. Now we have a pup named "Mongo" and he is doing a great job being Banjo's big brother

Wow, that's a lot. Very glad they pulled through.

Is that over the past couple years or more recently?

2 co-workers and their 5-80 year-old family members and partners, at least 1 rep but I assume 10x that, over 2 dozen dear friends both here and in NC.

I don't know how my Wife and I have avoided catching it. I am vaxxed, but she was advised not to by her doctor as her pharma allergies could fill volumes.
My Daughters, both Sisters, both Brother-in-Laws, Grandson, 2 Nieces, a Nephew have all caught it. We have been to Thanksgiving and Christmas get ...

I wondered what the heck happen on my Laptop. It did some updates and then stuff was very different. Not too crazy about the menus, but I'll get used to it. I don't remember even being asked.

Thanks. I actually looked for a white Lariat, but nice F150's are impossible to find around here. I had to drive to another state to get this one. Got it right before COVID - super lucky.

Around here Walmart and COSTCO are always within a penny from each other and right now are $2.79 a gallon. Most other stations are still around $3.35-$3.50. If it weren't for Illinois taxes, we might be at $2.60 - $2.65.

I try not to let my truck get to even a half tank as it has the tow package ...

Happy Thanksgiving. About 20 in our group. 6 have had COVID (2 breakthrough), all but 1 vaccinated and the elders all have boosters. Not sweating it. My poor wife is the un-vaccinated as her doc feels it may be dangerous given her severe pharma allergies.

Leatherneck

I got a J&J shot at the VA in July. How long before I am not considered vaccinated? I really don't want any more shots. My Wife cannot get a shot due to severe pharma allergies and issues. Both my Daughters, both my Sisters and their entire families have had COVID with little complications. Wife and ...

I got about $100 worth of nickels, dimes and quarter. My local Zippy Mart is begging for quarters so might take 'em over.

Merry Christmas. Just my kids and Mom & Dad this year. Normally we bring 4-6 families together. It was rather nice though.

I joined when I was still in the Corps for 20 years and now am 19 years into a 2nd career. 4 more years and done! I miss the heated discussion of old.
