    Any F1 racing fans?

    I was late to the F1 sport and got into it just when Schumacher was coming on to the grid. In looking at the races he did seem aggressive but I am not a real expert at how everyone was racing at that time. Sort of like looking at old pro football games and how some of those hits are no longer...

    Why the disrespect for Vets with disability?

    While I appreciate that your parents were good parents for you this is, nonetheless, an unfortunate comment. Just because some one served it does not mean they had bad parents and for those that did not serve it does not prove good parenting.

    Any F1 racing fans?

    Not the race I was thinking it might be and a great start to the season. For me, I would like to see 3-4 teams really run competitively. With all the turmoil they have had it was nice to see Haas do so well.

    Help STOP WA State Mag Ban ###UPDATE###

    Not sure I am making a mistake the two regarding the people I am thinking about however I will concede that the line between the two can be pretty fine. If you have been fighting the fight and have a plan then my quarrel is not with you. However, if your solution is to retreat and then...

    Help STOP WA State Mag Ban ###UPDATE###

    Where do you go when there is no place for you to "cut and run" to? And if you think the wave isnt coming to your state you are wrong. The commies have plans to get complete control and when you retreat all you do is invite them to fight you where you live. Those that feel like running to...

    Retirement looms on the near horizon.......

    I retired 6 years ago in my "middlish"50's. While I have no debt, no need to draw from SS, no need to touch retirement accounts(due to good real estate income) I am going back to work. Nothing similar to what I was doing before but I want to move as much retirement into Roths/HSA's as possible...

    high level vaccine skeptics

    “This is a learning curve……” And I think this is the most universally true statement from my Covid experience (both personal and work) While I have trust with some individual front line docs I no longer trust information from places like the cdc, nih, UC anywhere, who etc. When you tell the...

    I agree with your analysis to a point. The place where your logic comes up short is the cost of risk. My most recent painful education resulted in a 7 figure loss. The cost of risk was sitting right in front of me but I could not see it and that leveraged investment went bad “for reasons no one...

    Dave Ramsey Financial Peace

    Thanks again for the reply and I owe you a bit of an apology…… I understand your point about where investments are made and that was the part I was glossing over. Not a huge separation in our thinking there. Having a handle on that is key to long term success and should be part of every ones...

    Dave Ramsey Financial Peace

    Hey brother, thanks for the reply and your additional detail helps. Not sure we are all that far apart. Do I agree that low cost money is the place to dump discretionary funds? The exact math would say “no” depending on the opportunity cost of other investments. Ramsey or not I think the place I...

    After reading and re reading your post I can’t really track with you on parts of it. As someone that was part of that program and one that thinks there is benefit for many, your last paragraph seems to walk that back. I can’t see the specific damage being done to the other 20 percent. I am not a...

    Remdesivir for covid? Ya'll heard of it?

    The short answer is “yes”. I got the J&J vaccine so only one dose. I was evacuated from the Dixie fire, moved the other place and then got evacuated due to the Caldor fire. I had been in the smoke for about a month so I could tell my lungs were tight. The docs perspective is that Covid was...

    Remdesivir for covid? Ya'll heard of it?

    I am on it right now. Day 3 with lots of vitamins etc. something seems to be working but the doc thinks there could be other options but those aren’t available now. Double pneumonia and I did not wait very long for treatment. I have elder care responsibilities/ oversight for my 90yr old...

    Cabelas new business opportunity

    Had I known that they had that sort thing in Cabela's I would have told her to get a real job. Not sure I will run into them again as I wont likely go back in. I was just surprised how far they have sunk.

    Cabelas new business opportunity

    After a quick trip up to north eastern CA to drop some stuff off I went through Reno and stopped at Cabelas to grab a few items. Simple stuff that I could grab and get back on the road to beat traffic at the "spaghetti bowl". 3 things... Boot laces ( in the shoe area), a can of water proofing...

    Go be poor somewhere else. Literally.

    I am not sure I am tracking with you. Based on your post you seem to be indicating that all businesses are there only for themselves and that is wrong in some fashion. Can you can give me some rationale or examples as to what specifically you find objectionable. If you are talking about working...

    Turning the tide from the insanity of today...

    Interesting commentary/rant from a fairly left leaning guy. A little long but good points. I started listening to Poole a while ago and his position on many issues has been maturing and moving right.
