    88% humidity last night, but the Super Hogster still got it done.

    A slight adjustment in the math returns this: $36,000/$200 extra per month = 180 months / 12 months in a year = 15 years to break even (in total dollars collected) on waiting for the higher monthly amount of $1,200. So if the early retirement age was 60, and the later age in this example was...

    New phone recommendations

    We showed our 5 year old granddaughter our phone like this. She looked at it with a puzzled look and asked, “how do you use the camera?”

    Every day is one day closer to our final day. We never know when that is. Is it 5 years? 10? or 1? My old boss (about 15 years ago) was going to retire Dec. 1. In Nov. he told me he felt good and that he even lost a little weight and was looking forward to retirement. A week later he asked...

    Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

    Back in the day, I was probably 11 or so, we had some ice followed by a little snow. A couple buddies and I grabbed our steel runner sleds and headed to a spot in town that had a long run down a sidewalk for about 300 yards. I led off and flew down the sidewalk, but when I got to the bottom my...

    I was drawn for a late season bobcat tag which started today. Found a hollow log along their travel path for this cubby set. Unusual weather we are having in WI this winter.

    Other Construction GCs, OSHA Q?

    Good info in some of the earlier replies (Jrassey, Candyx & others). Money, hit them in the pocket book, first with good contract language and then with pay deductions for infractions. Escalate above the project personnel up to their corporate office. Demand a new Superintendent that follows...

    Good point. We were late to the HSA game as I was not able to contribute due to having insurance through work. We do have a window until my wife and I are 65 (and begin medicare), so we are taking advantage of maxing out HSA contributions, as we can use IRA monies and avoid tax on the use of...

    Squirrel rifle

    I also have a Mk II, along with several other .22's. The Savage shoots as well as my Bergara B14R. Not the slickest action by far but damn, it shoots. I did need to put it in a Boyd's stock as the cheek height on the OEM stock was ridiculously low. I just put an SWFA 10X on it and it does...

    Health insurance is no joke and some planning several years ahead can take the sting out of it. Stockpile some non-taxable money that can be accessed for living expenses to reduce your taxable income until Medicare kicks in. The marketplace rates are based on taxable income.

    That is unbelievably cool. Lots of frustrating practice I bet...or was it short vid's strung together in a video?

    Threadcutter 308, curious as to what career you retired from? Everyone is different, but my "unwinding" and stress level dropped after the first month. People actually noticed it in my appearance. I was in charge of the company estimating for large bridge projects (we just finished a few...

    My most recent project was sound dampening in the FJ we bought in July, although I was actually surprised that it was not overly noisy in the cab when we first bought it. I had the time on my hands so I took out the headliner, rear panels, floor coverings, and the door panels. Sound dampened...

    Finding the "old me" is something I was also looking forward to. Enjoying life is at the top of the list after many years committed to the job. Success to me is now measured as enjoyment rather than bagging that trophy deer, etc.
