When I was fourteen years old, I was amazed at how unintelligent my father was. By the time I turned twenty-one, I was astounded at how much he had learned in the last seven years!

On another topic............costs of living comparison.......back in '70, I bought my first house. It was a modest 1200 sq. ft. home, about 7 years old, but just 1/4 mile from the beach in Huntington Beach, Ca. I paid 24,200. for it.
We just got the final tally on having our current home reroofed last month...........39,100. !!! I guess we can't complain about our current 3340. a year premium on home insurance. (USAA since '68) We are going to be getting an 800. a year reduction in premium due to having the roofing upgraded to a class 4 rating. That $ also included having the entire roof sheathed over the original 1 x 8 board decking material. USAA paid for the upgrade shingles and the sheathing!  :003:
I mentioned the sheathing because if you have hail damage to your home, and it is an older house (mine built in the great year........1957) that was done with the traditional 1 x 6/8's, and your community building codes currently call for sheathing, your insurance company may pay for it. That's a big cost. I counted 162 sheets when they delivered it to the house! I have to credit my roofing company with being persistent in their contact with my insurance company to get the added stuff covered.
Haha..when we bought the house, the inspector said the roof was old, but in good shape, so due to it's age, we should be prepared for a hefty roofing bill down the road. He finished that statement with "or pray for a hail storm"
I can do this, I can do this, I, well, maybe

We lost another member of our morning coffee gang "GTO DAVE", this is the fifth guy in the last three years. He was only 55. The wine he enjoyed every day caught up to him, stage four cancer in his liver and moved into his lungs.

Sorry for your loss, Jim. 55 is way too young. I just turned 74 Saturday, 55 seems a loooong time ago.

Jim, sorry for the loss.  We do have the good times to remember, thinking of those times gives me a "warn fuzzy" and generates so smiles and an occasional chuckle.

Like Rich I am rushing up on 74 and 55 seams like centuries ago!  I have become one of two "survivors" of our former breakfast club.  Of the 10 - 12 that got together Saturday mornings I was second youngest, now the youngest.  The other remaining member is 80.

My wife and I were going to take a road trip to the Colorado mountains for my birthday. We decided to postpone that trip due to covid concerns, so I went to my favorite casino as an alternative. This one is a bit further at 225 miles from the house. Arrived there at 6 pm, had a great time, spent very little $, and left at midnight. A half hour after leaving I was on a lonely connector road headed for 287 when I almost had a collision with a four legged creature. This would have been a first, not only for me, but for most folks.............a pig!! Not sure if it was wild or escaped from a farm. It didn't look like the normal wild pig/boar, more like a farm pig. I need to do a little research.

When I went hog hunting in Texas, we hunted for feral hogs, not wild boars. I know they can cross bred. The ones I saw could have been mistaken for a domestic pig.

Remember, ham and eggs breakfast is a days work for the chicken and a life time of work for the hog......

Bill, I heard like this.............The chicken is involved, and the pig is committed.
