    This thread has a lot of useless bullshit in it, but there is a metric shitload of really useful and productive information interspersed all throughout!

    I don't think you're wrong to go ROTH at all. Obesity thing I was confused about was the max contributions. It is $5,500 for any type of IRA, but he makes it seem like the $5,500 includes the taxes when funding a ROTH, and that's not the impression I was under. I didn't like the way he did the math on that part.

    Yep, that's how irrational fears work.

    Full disclosure - camera was clipped to steering wheel and set to timer and all posts/texts were made from shoulder parked to attach/detach camera or while parked in restaurant and gas station lot.

    I did break the speed limit.

    Speaking of scary stuff. Standing at the top of a 32' ladder, in a tree, with the wind blowing; so everything is moving left to right about 3 inches in either direction. THEN, asking your wife to pull on the rope you just hung and you find out you hung it too far out because when she pulls on the rope, the tree branch moves down a full six inches against the ladder. I thought I was going to vomit.
    The next part was trimming a branch from the same spot with the worry that when the weight of the cut branch is relieved, the trunk holding the ladder will rise enough to drop the ladder. After that we just flew a kite in the wind. Heh.

    Oh snap! Bread cook off!





    On the left is garlic onion, on the right is cinnamon and nutmeg. Never used a dutch oven before and thought I'd try it out now that I have this one from Driver.

    Yeah, it's easy to get confused when the federal tax code is 75,000+ pages long.
