Do you have one of the fancy ones that shuts off as soon as it thinks you should be tired?
I seem to see a lot of that along the side of the road.

It's not all bad. Just requires planning.

Either you've lost weight or that jacket is very slimming. Sounds like a great day.

Found the first orange army scout of the season today, off he went as soon as he saw me. This weekend is usually the most common time to find them.

Is it opening weekend for gun?
I’ve lost all track.

ETA looks like it’s next weekend for the hunting. I guess the scouting could start.
Next Friday night there will people all around me sighting in or test firing their guns for the first time in about a year. Gotta let those deers know what’s coming!

Was very thankful I caught up in this thread last night or I might have missed paying property taxes today, although it said they weren’t due til the 13th.

The weekend before is when I see most people. Over the years I've found and cut down stands, but most of these guys scout and come in with climbers. Have a few pictures from opening day of hunters, some even wave at the camera.

I live on the edge of 3K acres of HNF and I never have understood why people just don't hunt there, it's for the public.

Funds for CKW are in the mail. I spoke to her today and let her know what the occasion was. She is grateful. Thank you again to all who participated.

Mortgage debt isn't always bad debt.

Proper vehicle financing can make sense.

Credit Card debt? BAD....but.....Emergencies happen. Needs and Income do not always align.

Any time I owe someone, it's bad debt. I'm slave to the lender. Especially mortgage debt that puts my home at possible risk.

Sometimes it is necessary, but I have to disagree, Bandit. There is no such thing as good (not bad?) debt. Even a no interest debt has emotional cost. Everyone lives inside their own definitions. And pays the associated costs. Whether that is interest or lacking something until it is in the budget.
I cannot say that situations don't arise where the balance of one is better than the other can be tenuous, especially helping out a friend, but all debt makes you a slave of one sort or another.

Made it around the block walking the dog. Can still feel some funkiness in the lower back, but it's a start.

Going to try and get out to a range trip this weekend to checkout the Echelon.

You can’t claim guns as dependents. No matter how much it costs to feed them.
