    Vanguard - last straw?

    After 3 fruitless attempts to get an address for direct deposit of my ss, I left for fido last spring. I did leave my Ira since it's all in Wellesley and I started drawing it down. I've got a few messages after, that I ignore, just like they did to me.

    What We're Smoking (MJ legalization FAQs)

    My dog wants to ban catnip, but the hipster cat doth protest. We grow our own and mostly just make edibles and eat it. We both were medical mj patients prior to recreational becoming legal. In a recreational state it's rapidly becoming no big thing. Cops no longer respond to the neighbor...

    Vanguard transactions on 1/27/21

    I spent two afternoons online and on the phone trying to re-establish a direct deposit account at vanguard. The reps gave me inaccurate advice both times, the calls took forever, and as of today it's still not straightened out. I'll just re route the direct deposit to a local bank Monday, and...

    Favorite winter comfort foods

    My favorite winter comfort food is borsch. I don't have a recipe, but I know my wife uses shredded red beets, shredded red cabbage, smoked sausage and polish sausage. She makes a huge batch after we harvest our red beets and she cans most of it. The soup comes out thick like a stew, and makes me...

    Finding Purpose in Retirement

    "Before Enlightenment chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment chop wood, carry water" Seems appropriate enough. I have a huge outdoor organic garden, a large yard, 25 acres of woods including a 3 acre food plot for the local elk, deer and whatever. If that wasn't enough, I grow organic...

    Pay off mortgage or savings acct?

    Ive actually done this twice now since retirement. After each pay off I start dollar cost averaging back into a mutual fund with the money that went to a mortgage. Im probably done with this though, at 66 my next move will be a downsize I think.

    Getting Rid of Rabbits

    Our problems were gophers and chipmunks, and mice. They feasted on our chicken's food and on tidbits from our compost piles. Two cats solved our problem. The chickens area is fenced with fencing that has 1 x 2 holes. I made the 2 brother cats an indoor area in a pole barn. They get food...

    Curious about a generator

    I still have a big heavy "portable" !0,000W peak, 7500W generator on a manual transfer switch. We only use it maybe twice a year, but when we upgrade it definitely will be a generac. Two days after hip replacement surgery in 2018 our power went out in a big snow storm. My wife pulled the truck...

    Your recommended pickup truck accessories

    I like the spray in bed liners, and weather tech floor mats, but no running boards for me as im 6'6" and they're just not needed for me. If you trailer much a back up camera is very useful, as is a trailer brake controller, if your trailer has brakes. I have a chevy Silverado now and its my...

    Replacement for Round Up weed killer

    I love me a good hoe. https://roguehoe.com/gardening/ If that doesn't work, there's always a weed whip. And come to think about it, if I killed all the weeds in my yard it'd be pretty bare, lol.

    My beloved weed whacker did me dirty (not for the squeamish )

    My wife couldn't start our gas powered weed whacker so I started it for her, handed it to her and she promptly whacked my leg, lol. Im strongly considering a battery whacker for her. Do they come in pink?
