Anyone want to just talk a bit about life?

Okay, bossy.

No, I’ve paid in every year since 1976 and still haven’t seen a single red cent from either program.

 

so you have 5 more years until you do.

 

This weekend I discovered Duluth Trading Buck Naked underwear. They are no steal at $18.00 each, but I never knew an old guy could find quite this much joy in his undershorts....

 

you'll probably just stay on private insurance though, I'm sure

 

When the time comes, I'll take my inferior Medicare coverage for the price paid, and will supplement that with private insurance, yes.

 

LOL, that's a hoot, Randy! Listening to FD and TC going back and forth and you throw this into the mix.

BTW, The DTC Buck Naked underwear you speak of is all I've worn for about six years now. Have a few pair of the firehose pants, too.

 

They weren't kidding about that buck naked thing. Aaahhhhhh, the freedom!

 

Great reminder. I let FD steer me off subject . . . way off.

Back to the apolitical stuff . . . I saw 7 deer in my yard the other day. Mother Nature's really banging on our door this year. On the yard maintenance side of things I'm duking it out with the deer eating my wife's plants, the drought sucking my lawn dry, moles blowing up my lawn, squirrels planting acorns in the lawn, turkey droppings everywhere, grapevines and bittersweet pulling down my trees, and various other headaches . . . it's been pretty overwhelming.

With little else to do this summer / fall we just sucked it up, grabbed the yard tools and threw about 6 weekends and lots of evenings at negating these issues.

I had to suspend my stone step project during this effort, but finally resumed after we finished last week. I've got to stay on that and complete it before snow begins falling. It doesn't seem nearly as big of a job as it is when looking at it, but poses challenges that are fairly unique when loose-stacking.

Can't wait until I get to recover physically . . . this is a lot of work for a couple nearing retirement age.

 

Ha! $18 dollars is a steal. It was my birthday Sunday and I always get clothes from my wife. Duluth Trading Company is always a primary source of duds. So this year she gave me 4 Buck Naked underwear packages. I will warn you though, they only last about two years and you'd think for the price, you could hand them down to your kids but the waste ban gives up after too many big holiday meals. They are comfortable though. Try the T-shirts and flannel. Can't be beat.

 

Normal people who aren't obese can fit into normal underwear. Remember obesity and diabetes are the main killers in the US and make you more likely to die from Covid.

 

Happy belated birthday!

 

No, this is just weird. Really? What do you consider to be "normal" underwear?

 

I figure the fellow is suffering from anemia, herpes, ED and whatever else. But needs to lecture the rest of us on our health as though he is the Surgeon General.

 

I can’t recall the last time I’ve seen a discussion about underwear preferences on a forum. Lovely!

 

Just found this thread.

Got another 18 inches or so of snow last night here in northern Indiana.

Soooo....

I've been "grooming the trails" for our dog Tinker in the back yard. She's a Lhassa Apso and the snow is as tall as her.

We love her to pieces and spoil her rotten.

 

We have 21 inches of snow on the ground. I snowblow a maze in the backyard for my maltese. He can't see over the top of the snow so it's kind of funny to see him get lost. I should post a picture of him in his labyrinth or maybe a video. He is all white so he may not show up. Poor Miss Kitty.

 

Show off!

I SHOVEL the trails for Tink.

 

I am much, much too lazy for that. Shovel you say? Bah! Humbug!

 

The only snow blower around here pleases snow men for money.

Is that too risque?

 

Here's Tinker showing off her favorite sweater. She appreciates her trails.
