You are aware that the Safe Act made 100s of thousands of New Yorkers felons over night right ?

The youngest referenced , between her 410k and bank acct . Is a year or so away from 100k . At her age I opened my first mutual fund for 3k . For a CPA she doesn’t understand investments to much ,but she listens well .

You’re welcome !

I tossed in Chinaman , just for entertainment purposes..... One great thing about the FD was everyone got along ,if you can do, the job that’s all that matters , and nobody is all touchy-feely about BS . My retirement party was MC’d by a black guy , attended by black ,white ,male, female ,Hispanic, gay , straight and even a vegan . One of my favorite drinking partners is a bi racial, lesbian, just wish she’d not chew tobacco and spit in a glass .

Not according to the diversity classes,I’ve sat through , it’s all in the eye of the offended . One Chinaman doesn’t like that reference , you’re in trouble . One video we had to watch ,had a white guy that asked a black co worker if he watched the game last night . Seems innocent enough , but no that was racist to assume the black guy was automatically a sports fan .

I Iike online for the ease of things . I wouldn’t mind a brief hands on for gun safety , which can be done anywhere , no need to shoot, they don’t need to be “ marksmen “ just know the four rules , and demonstrate them by handling a gun correctly . Back in the ‘70s, they took us outside in small groups, we picked up a bolt action .22 and went to the line ,where presumably they’d hand you some ammo and you’d shoot . They’d ask if you had checked the gun to see if it was loaded , then when you opened the bolt a spent shell would pop out ! Opps guess you didn’t check that gun, upon picking it up . Things like that, not muzzle sweeping others , keeping your bugger hook off the bang switch is what you test for .

I bought it for under three bucks . But it’s a good example why I’m a long term buy and hold guy 90% into funds, deferred comp and so forth . A lot of these kids into reddit , Robin Hood and so on ,only think things go up , reminds me of the “ airplane game “ of years gone by . Our oldest is into that, and the youngest text me saying she wants to “ buy stock “..... If they want to play around with a couple grand ,so be it , but I can see some going all in after one big gain . Its a marathon not a sprint . Samanthas 401k statement got sent here, she’s up 20k this year she’s , 28 , she should be happy with that .

AMC was tanking for years , I added it to an IRA that is made up of about a dozen stocks, right after the “ shut down “ with the thinking that once things open up people will really want to do things again . I texted the guy who handles my Ira this AM to sell . I have always done things myself, but this guy I went to school with and he owns about the best financial company around, he’s always on the news, radio shows when they want to know something about the financial market . He handles a small part for me and is invaluable for info and tax help for us as well as our kids . Oh and if you Reddit squeezers want to drive up T2 Biosystems that would be great I’ve held that dog for sometime waiting for some medical device or process they have to take off.

Bought AMC awhile back , not one of these Reddit, short squeeze people . Only about 20k worth .

Wow that’s awesome , big thanks . We would take our old boat to the beach, then once we found some by accident , then it became a thing to do there .

Hey tell her to stop that ! Lol , one reason I’ll be hitting it in winter . JJB4900 thank you , I would use that as it’s from nature . I’ll pm you my address and thanks again .

Happy birthday fellas !

It’s my new screen saver ! I should have hit Durand Beach a couple weeks ago, the water is low, there was no ice on the shoreline and winter waves stir things up well . It’s really the perfect time , other than no bikinis . You can buy manufactured glass, that is new glass that’s tumbled , but real sea glass can take decades for nature to tumble it , which for me is the point really . Along with hunting for it .

Going by the YouTube videos I’ve watched ApexerER , May be spot on . Larry, good idea, my friend Joe, has his Elk teeth , he was surprised when they pulled them out and gave them to him .... Im still learning and a couple in the pic will be redone ,as the glass is good but I’m not happy with the wraps .

So I have a big bowl of it we’ve picked up over the years , then I just learned folks make jewelry out of it ,so I’m given it a try . So far just crude wire wraps, I’m working on my drilling skills on lesser pieces , along with silver soldering , so I can expand . It’s actually fun, I go into my gun room turn on some music, pour three fingers of whiskey, and spend an hour trying to figure out how to do some wraps I see on the net . Drilling will allow me to make earrings out of my smaller pieces , and just hang a single naked piece of glass on chain or leather cord as some prefer to showcase the glass only . Anyways only about 10-15 % of my pieces are suitable for what I’d like to do, if anyone has any, knows anyone who does , PM me . It doesn’t have much value , I’ll pay shipping and a few bucks more for your trouble and make you a piece if that works . Roch- Buff I’ll pick it up . Worn completely smooth and frosted preferred. It’s nuts the response those first ones are getting !

When I was a kid ,we didn’t have sidewalk chalk , my mom gave me a metal coffee can off water and an old paint brush , to “ draw “ with on the walk .

My first was a length of 8mm rope, clove around tree, bowline around my waist . No car seats, in my day and I don’t ever remember seatbelts as a kid, although my first car had lap belts in front .

Hey it’s only 100,000 good jobs lost , I’m sure just like with Obama ,there’ll be tons of shovel ready ,and green jobs just waiting lol .

Ok my favorite from a few years ago on 104 in Wayne county . Trooper pulls me over, now my reg and insurance card are clipped to the sun visor , for easy reach . In the glove box was my 40 cal Glock, we were coming home from ADK, I wasn’t stopping and didn’t feel like holstering it , so it was in the box . As the Trooper walked up my wife opens the glove box .... I thought about yelling “ she’s got a gun !” But I simply closed it ,and told her the stuff is on the visor .

And the refs as well .

I’ve heard that back in the day in certain areas, the cop would make a little mark on the copy that the court got . That mark,let the judge know the driver was a jerk .

They’re also saying they have one year of back orders to fill , and it’ll be 18 months before store shelves start to get full again . That’s IF nothing else effects things .

Lots of good advice given ,but much is land specific. There’s not a pine or hemlock with in miles of my woods, I do,love triple trees ,but they too are rare . Most of my ladders are in single hardwood trees , sitting still seems to work and in the rut when a buck is after a doe you can get away with almost anything . It took my buddy three shots to hit his buck this year , that buck only cared about where the doe was not the bullets hitting branches around him . Or, joe in a wide open tree for that matter .

I’m actually uncomfortable sitting here with her ......

I’m not a football guy, but I agree it looked like he could have just ran it in like Biz said . Also the wife hates Brady, and Gronkowski so much I actually feel she’d shoot their plane down if she could . Lots of F bombs and leaving the room for her tonight . Football fans are strange .
