Yeah, that one segment on Antiques Roadshow with the vet who bought a new Rolex while serving in Vietnam and put it in a drawer, has every scrap of paper, boxes etc. and looks brand new, a fun segment to watch. Worth looking up. And definitely an investment in his case.

So for a few weeks of barely driving we go along with 95% front and 100% rears that are all well within age/mileage/etc. limitations and add a few dozen miles to the lot. Then in a month or two a trip back to DT for the anniversary of the annual tire rotation which I think they do for free...

Inherited or never would have had it. Kept it about 10 years and decided I was old enough to make the change and it work. So far it's 100%. Will never have another rental. Unless I inherit another one anyway.

Someone with extreme patience and major talent. It is definitely cool.

I can't remember the specifics but I read something about instead of offering and buying at $10k off asking offer full asking and they pay $10k toward buy down or something. Instead of saving several dollars a month if lowers mortgage over $100 a month. Didn't pay too much attention since I'll...

I had a tread depth gauge that I think vanished with the ex. Now I just use a quarter. Used to be a penny which is basically the 2/32 gauge and a quarter is a 4/32 gauge. Yeah, there's maybe a bit left using a quarter, or an actual gauge reading 4/32, but I like being safe and alive. I'm worth it.

I sold an albatross. Uh, rent house. I put 90% of the proceeds in an annuity. I get roughly 110% monthly income compared to the amount of rent from the house. I pay 0% of that money to school tax, property tax, MUD tax, HOA, structure insurance and assorted maint/repair. The other 10% is in my...

Must, no. More convenient, for some/many. But not mandatory and not universal as is. Just a suggestion so one group isn't completely shut out. Machts Nichts. Just pick a time. Any time. Set it. Leave it alone. Anyone happy, great. Anyone unhappy, TDB.

Adjust time 30 minutes. Leave it alone permanently. Some like it. Others don't but they are only 30 minutes unhappy not 1 hour unhappy. Machts nichts.

Had two bacon and egg tacos this morning at Taco Cabana plus taco Tuesday special free chips and queso and free small drink so under $7 for all, about half price, and had enough queso to bring half of it home for mid-day snack.

Royal Enfield does a number of really nice and pretty reasonable bikes. That is a great color. Looks ready to go for about anything.

Can't match this interesting story but in Louisville, Mike Linnig's has been in business 101 years I think. My best friend lived a mile from them and got me started eating there. Our favorite server was there for 46 years, retiring in his 80's. Too far to enjoy now I'm not on the road and...

A very heavy burden some of us are forced to carry. All we can do is our best under that weight.

What vehicle is that? Pretty cool.

I retired at ~$5xxK at 66. Plus SS. Plus a little bit of extras. Plus no mortgage or debt, just monthly bills. And no expensive hobby, at least requiring any additional input or ongoing outlay i.e. golf/tennis/bowling/cinema fees etc. My main hobby is meeting/visiting/thanking military and first...

I definitely believe in starting, idling and warming up prior to driving off. That's why I hit the start button first and let it idle/warm while I buckle my seat belt. Then I drive off.

If you can get her listening with headphones you'll really have a photo moment.

At the risk of criticism and derision, thanks anyway, I put $260,000 into annuities through a local adviser obtained from a list from Dave Ramsey Endorsed Local Providers. I wanted a "set and forget" system. I get $24,500 annually from that plus similar elsewhere plus SS. Not rich, but...

Thanks. That's all pretty much above my pay grade. :) I have 4 emails in yahoo and in the old system it shows all 4 on the left and I click which one I want to check. The new only shows one and adds a step to jump between, among other annoyances. I found a setting that shows all 4 but loses...
