I’m sure he’s shrunk a little bit over the years but I’d imagine he’s still pretty big.

I’d want something easy or that I enjoy. Working at an outdoor shop, gun store or high end car dealership driving people home and picking them up would be cool.

I watched it today and enjoyed it.

This is about as retired of a post there is. Yes, I’m retired. I could power wash 24/7. I am tempted to power wash my power washer. What ya got? Your fav. Boomer (Gen X) out.


I don’t like to do shite at my house. I will trim my trees but other than that I pay people for all my projects and maintenance.

I get my fill of doing my own stuff at my ranch. Lots of mowing and limbing senderos. I take vacation to go work :lol:

Man it’s always a shitty feeling but you gave your dog an amazing life.

I’ve put down a few Danes I’ve adopted over the years and the last one I had done at home and it was way better than going to the vet.
I’d make that mother fricker eat that megaphone.

I prefer in the middle. I was looking at building in Conroe and I would have been a couple hundred grand higher than the highest sold house with large lot premium and changes to the house I had done.

I passed due to that reason and the tax rate of the neighborhood. Ended up buying average to lower end.

I'm too lazy to try to figure it out because I have 7 different accounts. I might want to consolidate those at some point Beating the market in most of them, but not like some of you. I'm mostly in ETFs these days, and don't own too many individual stocks anymore. My 2 largest accounts are +25% YTD and +15%.


I really don’t have many options in my 401k so it stays in a S&P type fund mostly with a little company stock and international. Company stock is dragging that account down into the 3% range. Same with my brokerage my company stock is keeping that one down also.

My EJ guy has me in about 100k to $110k cash so that’s been out of the market for a while. That’s my dry powder for when there’s a good dip.

I don’t have the nuts to move big chucks into single stocks. Retirement calculator says I will be more than fine with 8% returns over the next 15 years

I’ve been a fan for a long time. Lock stock is one of my favorite movies.
I say they are worth it. I’ve had them installed on my last two houses.

We randomly lose power at my current house when there are decent thunder storms. Never out long but it was out for a couple days during the hurricane that hit 2 years ago.
