I'm not in a rush to the exit, so 35k Dow means a lot of money to me. That said, stay away from small and mid caps. They will let those wither and die. The large caps are too big to fail.

Me too. Once I "retire" in a few months, I'll have essentially zero income. I'm going to be on Obamacare and get my healthcare subsidized. Zero income, couple mill in assets. I'm poor, feed me uncle Sam.

Me too. The hot market needs to stick around to May and I'm good.

I'm not retired, my wife is. We both got it last time because she's retired. If she wasn't we'd not qualify. As it is we're bumping up against the limit. Haven't got it this time yet. retirees should know how to reduce their taxable income.

The worst part is I have to do hex first out of the two octals. 50. Then I have to convert it to decimal, easy enough. Then, since I know the special characters and such get up to 64 to get into the letters. So I take the result minus 64 to get the letter. If the result is greater than 26, it's lower case, so I subtract 26 plus 6, in this case its upper so that extra bit is not required. I then do a1, b2, c3, etc on the keyboard in front of me. This is how I learned to do it 35+ years ago. Now there's a million calculators, I'm sure.

is your last name low in the alphabet? Just curious. Like they start at Aaron and work down the list to Zwicky.

I loved the books but I agree, they could just end the series before they move ahead in time. In the books it almost seems like an add-on. I'm waiting to watch until we finish up a couple other series. It's a great series, it'll be nice if they keep true to the books though. Not sure how they are going to handle the loss of the pilot. He's key all the way through the last book that's out.

There's something really appealing about a broken white trash girl with daddy issues who enjoys using a flame thrower.

If they do, it's a closely guarded secret. One of the big complaints is cart cost. You can save a bunch buying it outside of The Villages, but then it becomes a big hassle, specially if you have a warranty issue. There are probably at least 50,000 carts in TV, finding a used one that's in decent shape isn't hard. You tend to find that someone in their final stretch will buy a nice one and rarely drive it because they are on their last leg. They shed the ole mortal coil and the kids will fire sale the cart for some quick cash. You just have to have money and be ready to pounce when the deal appears.

Is that the one where the old bags jump into the pool and a bunch of 18 year old nymphs jump out but it makes the old men immune to Viagra? Maybe that was a Twilight zone episode.

If that's the guy, he is literally about 2 minutes golf cart ride from my first house. It would only take longer if you had to wait for cross traffic on Rio Grande. It's just a 20 second ride down Avalon. There's a cart cross over into the parking area, drive around done. Fiesta bowl.

The place is massive. It's almost 20 miles from top to bottom and about 10 miles wide. 3 squares, endless rec centers. There is a guy who runs a Karaoke show at the bowling alley though. If it's Kenny, I'll say hi

So in October of 2019, there was a Sabbath cover band at Spanish Springs square. It's like that a lot. Not just big band and fuddy duddy stuff.

Rumors of STDs and black market Viagra were an invention of an article some years back. There are a lot more women though and yeah, single guys have the run of it. Of course, it's not like you've got the choice of the best 25yo girl at a rave. It's the best girl who might have been at a rave in 1979. heh. The age demo is coming down though. It's a lot of sub 60s these day. Many of the first residents "aged out"

You want some sticker shock...there is some Sticker shock, golf carts. We're going to buy a 2nd one this trip. Trying to keep it under 6k for a used one.

I've owned a place in FL since July of 2019. We liked it so much, we bought another. heh. First house: http://villages-bestvilla.com New House: http://thewellrats.com/malbor/859/ We're almost income neutral on the first place and once we're in the 2nd place, we can rent the first out more to make it generate income. I know these places aren't for everyone but hopping on the golf cart and driving to dinner is a joy.

Sorry, no. Florida. I'm just talking about the timing. I could live in Texas but the wife isn't a fan. I think it's because she's never spent any time there.

1st week in April. Actually driving down Saturday though and staying in our current house while we buy another house.

Got about a foot, still snowing. Very dense snow though.

Now this map....this is the kind of thing that makes my rusty ole wheels start to turn. I'm sitting under the 26.9. I'd love it for my last winter in NJ.

17 inches in Sussex, I bet I get a little bit more just by being on the mountain. True story. I was working in a restaurant kitchen(circa 1986), and I burned my hand. I said "Fuck!!" Anita says "Yeah, you interested?". So every time I hear "That's what she said", my answer is "Yeah, she said that".

Yup. Tires are everything. You can make it up the hill with your 4x4, but coming down is an entirely different story. I run Blizzaks on my Acura. I put them on 9 days ago mostly because my all seasons are end of life but I'm happy I took the time then.

After the first couple thousand though? I'm thinking I'd start just making more passive zombie traps. Like that big log Arnold used in Predator or maybe just feces covered punji sticks in pits. Of course the zombie hordes are so constantly exposed to feces they may be immune. Need to get some real potent homeless poo for the most effective wound festering.

Geeze louise. I have quite a lot of this stuff. I guess I should sell some of it.

Big isn't necessarily better. Even with all that water, it will still short cycle if it's too big. I installed my 90k btu wall hanger and in 8 years, the induction fan failed. It sips fuel and electric. That said, you have to design for high efficiency with a hydronic mixer(or closely space tees), a primary and secondary loop. Since you're not going to re-pipe, conventional it is. I would definitely do a heat loss calculation. It doesn't take that long and you'll get the right size which will be more efficient and long lasting.
