I didn’t have a number. I had a date. DW had a number - we were about half way there when I retired. We’ve now hit her number 10 years later, which is meaningless to me. My investment strategy has never changed since the 1980’s.

This is it. And move a lot. Keep moving all day. The more movement the better. I don’t run anymore, but I keep moving at least 10 hours a day. Hiking, biking, yard work mostly. Easily get 10,000 steps a day doing yard work without leaving our property. Movement over a longer period of time...

Maybe jail isn’t the right place. But treatment should be mandatory- not something that people can take part in if they want to. We have a friend whose daughter is essentially a vegetable- she refuses treatment. People like her should be forced to take treatment and not allowed to leave until...

^^Congrats old medic!

Should have treatment as part of incarcerations.

Fentanyl overdoses will continue to be a problem as along as there is a demand. Slow the demand with arrests and incarcerations. Society needs a serious deterrent to wanting and taking fentanyl.

Watching ryanhallyall live weather stream on youtube. Tornados in Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky. We’re under tornado watch until 8 pm, but everything looks ok here.

Congrats & nice story street! - You're enjoying a perfect retirement life IMO.

If I were to take part in this, I'd water flowers in our front yard naked where I can only be seen from the sky. But since we have a tick infestation, I think I'll pass

Nice looking shelves! Too bad the install ran amuck.

Planting bed cleanup. Primed sprinkling system, fired it up. One leak. Went to hardware store for parts. Fixed it. Used sprinkling system as source to pressure wash stone steps to lower level and deck. Got patio furniture out of garage, pressure washed and put it on deck. Cleaned garage. Went to...

Thanks Fotodog. Yes they are brass but they are 5/16" rivets. Not sure if I like them, but they are what are normally used with that knife blade. I like my knife handle a little fatter, and the rivet pieces won't grab each other unless the knife handle thickness is 3/4" or less. Brass sands as...

I bought several Green River knife blade blanks. This one I made a handle from scrap Mexican bocote.

^^ Stay safe and bring plenty of snacks to your shelter!
