[quote]In January, he tweeted a cryptic message to his 1.4 million followers. “Sell,” he wrote. But by the end of March, he backtracked. “I was wrong to say sell.” he wrote.[/quote] Thanks, Doc. ...

No issues at all. I was always the chef and clean freak of family, so I had the time to devote to that. No resentment about me doing my things (fishing trips, hobby time). Bonus was accompanying her on her business trips to some great destinations. ...

I retired 5 years before my wife. I don’t understand what issue(s) you’d think you’ll have with that scenario. ...

I'm in BR, and my blackberry harvest (thorned and thornless) is pretty much over. What was going on 3 or 4 weeks ago with your blackberries?...

The idea of paying fees for a budgeting/spending app is so counter-intuitive to me. Plus, I don't want to give it access to my bank/savings accounts. Excel for me, esp. since I am more interested in tracking my current and historical expenses and assets, not so much planning a budget....

For those interested, Union Pacific will have its huge steam engine #4014, aka “Big Boy”, on display during the CWS. Will be next to the baseball stadium at UP’s Home Plate facility. This is the same train that traveled to NOLa a couple of years ago through Texas and Louisiana. ...

The less expensive Generac’s that most folks buy are air-cooled, higher rpm motors that are quite loud. The more expensive Cummins are typically water cooled, lower-rpm (hence quieter) 4-cylinder auto engines. You get what you pay for. ...

Two heavy freight railroads (CN, CPKC) already run between BR and NO. Passenger service would use one of those. So don’t worry about money for track construction. Money mostly needed for rolling stock and new stations at intermediate stops. Infrastructure. It’s coming. ...

It’s the other team that is playing so bad…...

The 6" concrete slab is a thick driveway, not enough for footings to support weight-bearing posts. I would want the 12" deep footings under all the posts, so yes, cut out the concrete slab in those areas and put in footings. You still need to know the other dimensions of the footing to cut out eno...

If you consider yourself any kind of DIYer at all, this is well within the realm of your abilities. And could require going in attic. But if you replace with a larger (or smaller) sized model, the work will quickly multiply. And curious if you actually use the heat mode of your current fan? N...

I used 3/4” appearance-grade treated boards. Used table saw to put 1/4” bevel on each bottom side of board to get shadow-line effect of T&G (without cutting T&G). Picked straight boards, pushed them as close as possible. Stained with light green (BM Arborcoat). Topped with ply and standing seam ro...

While I have a lot of tools that are battery operated (I'm a Makita guy), all my routers (large and trim) and jigsaws are corded. I just hate having every tool I buy being subject to changes in the battery technology. I'm already on a second generation of Makita batteries/tools. And cords on tools t...

Had binoc’s on him, and still missed both ear tags. Okie dokie. And now he wants the collar tag that was on him previously. Having said that, it was all legal. Will be curious about the CWD result. ...

Going to be perfect viewing in BR. Clear skies. Moon hasn’t risen. ...

You’ll need that raise for winter clothing and 4WD/AWD vehicles. Lol. But seriously, sounds like a great opportunity—take it. ...
