  1. We have three boys in middle school. Their snacks of choice are apples and strawberries.

    We probably go through 4 apples and a pound of strawberries a day.

    She does the grocery shopping on Saturday. Anyone want to take a guess as to how many apples and pounds of strawberries she comes home with?

    Bonus points if you can guess what day of the week I am asked to stop and pick up more fruit.



    I have taken to going to Costco and buying supplemental fruit on Sunday to get us to at least Wednesday.

  2. Just checked morningstars report on 529 plans. Nevada has been downgraded from gold when we started to bronze. Utah Pennsylvania and three others are gold. 
     

    the expense ratio in Utah is vanguard like (<0.1%)  which is less than the 0.8% I see on the Nevada plan. The Nevada plan has some options for investment broadly but their age based portfolio is already transitioned to moderately conservative (45% equities 55% fixed income) so I expect my gains to be minimized while the fees are the same.   Is it worth it to move my funds to Utah to get the lower fees if my kids are in middle school?

  3. I Bought some Ariat boots while in Nashville for the game last week.

    They’re comfy but I bought a half size too big. I had also tried on Ariat Bench Made which I really liked but they did not have my size in the color I wanted. 
     

    tried Tecovas too but I wasn’t sold on them. 
     

    anyway, this sent me down the rabbit hole and ended up with Chisos #2 when I got back to town.

    Chisos finally had stock again so I grabbed them.  These boots are absolutely fantastic.  They feel like they are made better and are more comfortable than my old hand made Luccheses

    a year and a half later and regrets?

  5. I’m always looking for a burnt orange knife in a style I like. Until I fork over the $300 for the latest Sage 5, these will have to do:

     

    Benchmade Bailout

    kershaw Iridium 

    reate box cutter

    leatherman juice

    The bailout feels the best but the iridium is pretty good.  With the iridium at $50 while the Bailout is $200, it is a better value.

  6. Totally subjective.

    How do you want it to carry? Is it too big that you chose to leave it at home?

    Will it cut what you intend to cut?


    Enjoy your cheapos. I’ll continue to flush money down the toilet for super steal and ergonomics. Spyderco I’m looking at you
