Am I the only person that wipes down their sink and stove after every use? I realize I am a bit OCD about neatness but my kids think I am nuts. Hate seeing grime, water spots and fingerprints.

Now I know why I have been feeling this pull farther north.

Btw - I admit that I spend a fair amount on things I want but are definitely not needed. But that spending is only with disposable income after I fund my retirement account. I think that is part of the balance of enjoying your earnings now and later.

Like Steve, I tend to dump money in my retirement account and don’t pay much attention. And I think that’s fine when you have plenty of time before retirement. It’s hard to beat the market as a whole. I also have family members that love playing the market. Trying to make scores on specific stocks and timing the purchase and sales or shorting or whatever. I am a lawyer, not investment expert so to me that is just another form of gambling. Sometimes you win sometimes you lose. Often we only hear about the big gains and not losses. But again, it’s hard to beat a well diversified portfolio over the long term and I pay the experts to accomplish that for me I will leave it to the experts and accept moderate returns and invest heavy. My account has earned 12%/yr for the last five. That’s great for me. No need to gamble on the higher risk plays for me. Nothing wrong with playing the market or hitting the casino, as long as you balance the risk like Biz suggested. Not for me but as long as you aren’t gambling away your retirement and enjoy the daily excitement/adrenaline of ups and downs, go for it. I find my excitement in other ways.

I think the fallow are much smaller. Not the same deer. Red stags can get big like elk.

Do a search. I recall a club looking for members last year. I think it was located near the Catskills but included a camp. Good luck.

You see the real motives John. I feel foolish now for questioning.

Oh no. Say it ain’t so. The most macho man I know has succumb. Interesting new hobby buddy. Enjoy.

You will be fine Dino. It will eat up your target a bit more pulling them out. But nothing major. I will see what I have too.

Enjoy your day fellas.

SEC does not take kindly to market manipulation. This sounds real close.

Those are neat. Do they actually use that to measure or is it something you receive for entering a buck?

Gorgeous buck whatever he scores but I bet he is bigger than 118. I am lucky to have a taxi that is also a BBC certified scorer.

He looked bigger than 118. Beauty regardless but I would have guessed PY score for sure.

I try to be next to a doe in estrous. They never pay attention then.

All depends on the court. There are no hard and fast rules in traffic justice. Lol

It all depends on the court, judge and ADA you are dealing with. Send back the letter stating that you will consider a plea to a reduced charge, include a copy of your drivers abstract if you can get it showing that you have a clean driving record (or at least explain that you have a clean record) and request a plea to a no point charge such as a parking violation. People think that because their buddy got x reduction, they will. Not necessarily true. City of Rochester traffic court won’t deal at all, Brighton offers one step reduction , Webster is more favorable and often the small towns along the thruway don’t care about points, just cash. So do the best you can to request the greatest charge reduction and move on!

Each court is different. Some won’t reduce the charge, others will only offer a one step reduction (from 3 to 2 points for example) and others will offer a better deal. I suspect it will be a good offer due to Covid since they don’t want a backlog. What was the speed and what is the reduced offer? Either way, you are highly unlikely to beat the ticket so most likely a plea to a reduced charge is your only real option. And honestly The ADA will usually make the same offer whether you have an attorney or not. Only if you are on the verge of losing a license does a lawyer make sense in traffic court IMO. by the way, insurance should only be impacted if the plea is greater than 4pts. and as a disclaimer, this is not my area but I certainly have helped friends and family on occasion.

Does saving the the $2 by not playing count as a win?

I am with the others. Having killed one on opener, I will not do so again unless it’s an absolute giant. Sucks sitting out the rut. And I would not take time off to hunt early season unless I was targeting a specific buck and had it patterned. Likely it would only be afternoon/evening hunts anyways since you probably won’t see a buck moving until then in early season.

Yep. Same thing we used.

Yep

Darn it no pics but my son cooked Korean BBQ where we cooked the thin pieces of meat on a grill in the middle of the table as we went. Man was it good. He also did a spinach salad with sesame seeds and oil and other Asian spices and rice. Honestly I felt like we were eating in a great restaurant.

Eastwood but I like Lee Van Cleef in the old westerns too. I suspect this is more of a generational thing as Wayne preceded Clint by a bit.

Just use paper mache.
