  1. The 5' threaded rod I ordered wasn't going to make it in time for this weekend... so I spent another $280 on 4x6' rod, 3/4 galv pipe (internal ladder component), and slotted angle iron (for the fourth set, 12 to 16' deep). My wife is pissed. But the hole beckons.
  2. I would love to trade some of my silver for gold when that ratio comes down. But 80 to 1... yeesh.
  3. I think I'm officially dug deep enough for the next set install. I'm 13' deep, a good 5' below the second set. Hopefully putting some new wood in the next month. some recent material purchases: $60 for 1.5x1.5 slotted angle iron (3× 5') $10 for 10 square washers $10 for 10 nylon steel 5/8 nuts $100 for 4x5' 5/8 threaded rod I want to buy the 4x6s for the fourth set this week, so I can make sure the holes line up.
  4. ya know, sooner or later, it all comes down to butt stuff.
  5. hey, those flashcards got me to where I am today: a middle manager at a large bureaucracy, who digs holes.
  6. oh goodness, am I breathing heavy in those? Lol
  7. Video! Hole set up from cabin: Hoisting a bucket Today I tried to separate the rocks from the dirt. This allows me to reuse the rocks for projects around the ranch. Didn't quite get to making the bottom even at 13', but fairly close. I wanted to get home jn time to watch the RRS.
  8. I bet this has been asked and answered, but what is a good target number (in 2024 dollars) for 529 accounts?
  9. UT Class of '05. State lawyer. Eligible to retire 6/1/2032. Probably could retire then and quit the rat race, but more than likely will take the pension and find something else. Or maybe come back 20-30 hours a week without management responsibilities. Anyway, if you got a sharp child interested in a work/life balance job, reach out. Ten years gets your student loans forgiven. Or if you want a change of pace. I'm almost always hiring.
  10. TIL Ybor city, where the whores wouldn't fuck a coked up Jason Isbell, is down near Tampa.
  11. this completely nails what I hate about Florida. My grandparents lived in Pompano Beach. There was zero feeling of community uniting people. Just haves vs have nots. Maybe central or northern Florida has better vibes.
  12. I told her we would not rush anything. It's just one block over, so it's not too much trouble. But yeah... probably cost $1200 a mo to keep around, while forgoing the interest the money would be earning in the bank.
  13. eh, mom moved to assisted living. She ain't going back to living alone. Packing stuff would take a while, but she had given away a lot the last few years. Mostly now just pots and pans (kids can use em when they leave the house), photos (keep, scan), furniture (divide up), and garage stuff (tools).
  14. Any harm in listing a house as FSBO on zillow for more than likely market price, just in case someone comes along with a suitcase of cash?
