Snow is heavy and wet. More snow came now than all winter. Glad most had melted before this storm. Finally quit snowing but wind is strong. Got stuck in driveway with 4x4. About 2 feet on most of the road in my part of the town. Big drifts in yard. Will take some...
Years ago, i own an apartment with a loan at a small country bank. Been paying extra funds on loan for a number of years assuming funds were going to principal. Wrong.
Call bank to get balance as i was doing a financial statement for my records. Told me and i said that number must be wrong...
Around the age of 38 i went to pay the hotel bill. Went to write out a check which he would not accept and then offer cash which he would not accept. Only a credit card which i did not have. Never had one up to that point in time.
Got a credit card and did use it on something. Age 62 before...
Quit the day when you feel you have enough to make it without a salary from work for the rest of your life which can be a wild ass guess. Just make sure you're ready to quit. The days can get long without a plan and then sometimes things happen that upset the best laid out plans. Best of...
Son came, called sheriff, put tag on and meat in freezer. Hams and back straps. 2 point buck (4x4) that got clean with hydro-peroxide and now on wall. Probably only vehicle killed buck i will ever have, at least i hope so. db
UP:
Budget will tell the story for you. Did one before retirement and not since. Work to 73 to get additional funds in savings.
Our gross is $60,000 with SS and army pay. No debt but health insurance supplement is $500/month. Federal tax was $900 last year.
This income does cover needs and...
Snow:
Besides SS i do get a check from my time in the Army in nam. That income plus the SS takes care of all the basics.
Do some lawn care for addition funds. Put a bid of $12,900 for one job that last year i had close to 300 hours into it plus my gas and repairs. Will know in a couple of...
No elk or moose for me either. But retire and time on my hand so:
The wife and i started paying SS in 1969. I have done my own income tax over all those years and my numbers are:
Total SS paid in by the wife, me along with the employer over those years totals $415,738. In 69 it was $203 and...
Buck:
Since 98 bow hunting has been my way of hunting, 24 years. Got 7 bucks with the bow since then.
For me it has been the best of times. Not sure for the younger generation. Have two grandchildren into bow hunting right now with 2 into target shooting 4-H. Two of my kids bow hunt. Two...
My son and i were involve with a lady a few years ago who shot a record at that time.
Great experience for us.

Guy:
Unit 1 got it too.
Called game and fish yesterday, told me due to CWD.
Did asked if i put bait up for my cameras and later shed hunting if that is ok. He said yes. And maybe keeping deer on or by my plots. Maybe go back to the rifle tag.
If baiting is stop only when hunting over it to...
Johnr:

For those who took the time to express a feeling i do appreciate it as i am sure other veterans do to and their families.
I was 21 when i was drafted. My understanding of life has changed a lot over these last 50 plus years. Living will do that with all its issues both good and bad. At that...
Vietnam veteran day.
Parade at 1:00 in honor of those who gave their all.
There have been enough Thank You's given out.
I ask that one reflects. Reflect for those who serve and for those who gave their all in a conflict that IMHO had little meaning. Take a moment. And now only memories...
Snow:
Yes the herd grew and they were there all winter.
Game an Fish tells me i am wrong and the landowner up there do not want any outsiders up there or so they say messing around.
