nothing in my house worth a lot - maybe my camera and lenses... ring and firearms are my protection. I wfh and if I see ANYONE that doesn't seem to belong.. I notify the cops. they are good at coming out. recently there was some guy 7am repeatedly driving around the block in a truck...

Amazing capture! I don’t have a scope, haven’t had one since high school. But I do want to get into Astro landscape photography. Looking to add a 20mm 1.8 Nikkor next.

Perfect color and light.

Post Harvest Moon Ok finally got it, sort of. Had overexposed moon and had to do a lot in PP to make it viewable. I was 1.3 miles from the lighthous.

Thanks folks. Though not a super moon this Sunday, I know it’ll be a clear evening so I’m going to try and do a sequence of moon positions as it passes across the lighthouse. Thankfully it’s only 3 miles from the house…��

Harvest Moon Once again clouds during a super moon. I just can’t win..

Suggest downloading trial versions of OnOne, Affinity, and DXO Lab. I’ve been playing for a week and I have an affinity for Affinity so far….

Fountain Grass We’ve planted these around, well, around our yard fountain…

Thank you. Looking at it some more I’m pleased. I should have shot this at f/8 and a bit longer exposure for better depth of field. Was a 20sec exposure but on a rock solid Gitzo tripod.

Tried the blue moon at the Marina in town…but was cloudy… sigh

@Ronstar the Nikon 200-500 is quite sharp, I found it sharper than the Tammy which I owned before. With f-mount lenses dropping like flies I’m waiting for a decently priced 600mm f/4. Right now they’re about $4K for a good used one…. I’ll wait..;’

Moving to Mirrorless.. Sold my D800 and picked up a Nikon z7 refurbished. Mainly for landscape, art, macro photography. I really like the lighter form factor, I loved the D800 and was going to get the 850…. I haven’t had much time to shoot but trying to make time to do so, it’s hard this...

@NW-Bound Yah, we are relatively frugal. There’s truth in the saying wealth is more than money. Being happy and productive, and giving back should be the metric of wealth.

I found the comments here much more interesting than the article itself. At 62 and 64 my DW and me are about 12-18 months til retirement. As of yesterday our total portfolio (tax/taxable) isn’t at $5, but $3.5. For us we’re comfortable given our priorities, interests, and expected retirement...

Thank you both

I’ve googled this but can’t seem to find an answer to this… Earlier this year I accidentally sold some RSU’s from the wrong lots in the Fidelity website…rather than selling shares from just vested stock, I sold older lots resulting in a $25K capital gain..mix of ST and LT gain.. A completely...

I was round 140/90 territory, borderline. On metoprolol and enalapril. At doc yesterday I was 118/84. Yeah I need to drop 15 lbs and essersize…;)

10 years ago DVNP… Then rushed home before Superstorm Sandy hit…

I’m lucky in that my total boat spend is only $3K/year all-in. Have a 22 foot Cape Dory sailboat. I’m on Long Island Sound in CT. That includes winter storage at yacht club, yacht club fees (beer and butt club), summer at town marina (after 10 year wait list), commissioning, and incidentals...

I purchased a new hybrid Honda Accord back in late 2019 as I was facing a horrendous 150 mile round trip commute, 4-5 hours commute a day… I did it for 2 months, averaging 58mpg.. I was happy… then Covid hit and I got remote status and have had it ever since. Thank God. I only have 15K on the...

as a Fidelity customer you can get an asset and sector exposure analysis using the GPS tool. i think Morningstar's might be a bit more consumable layout wise..

Thank you as I’ve just started using Firecalc. An awesome tool…. Btw…from your user name assume you own a CD36? I sail a CD22 out of Connecticut…;)

This has been an informative thread as I’m 2-3 years from retirement and will have another 3 til Medicare eligibility. I’ve run some scenarios based upon withdrawal sources looking a few years out, but….in 2023 doesn’t the cliff come back..? Or do you expect congress to extend it out?

These lists are a WoT unless you can create custom cuts of data aligned to whatever your priorities might be…

Thx all for input….
