re: "If you don't like the flag, you don't have to play the sport" - Jeff Landry; interview up
Posted by SurfOrYak on 4/3/24 at 2:27 pm
Jeff Landry a political hack? I realized that as soon as he announced the new head of LWF—a young lady from Trump campaign office in South Dakota. She has no professional background in wildlife or fisheries. And then he gave her a raise shortly after the appointment. Crazy as this move today. ...

Graves has franchises in many different states. As big as an LSU person he is, he can’t be too overtly partial to LSU. Business decision. ...

You could move your IRA over to any investment company’s IRA. But Vanguard is at/near the top of the list of no load/low expense ratio mutual fund companies. Curious who has a legit reason for better rollover alternative than Vanguard? ...

re: Traveling by Train
Posted by SurfOrYak on 11/27/23 at 9:06 pm
The Crescent (Nola to NYC) is the nicest of the 3 Amtrak routes out of NOLa. It uses newer, nicer, different type of passenger cars than the ancient Superliners on the City of New Orleans (to Chicago) and Sunset Ltd (to LA). I’ve parked my car at the NOLa train station without incident, but Slidell ...

re: half retired - working spouse
Posted by SurfOrYak on 8/8/23 at 7:18 pm
No issues at all. I was always the chef and clean freak of family, so I had the time to devote to that. No resentment about me doing my things (fishing trips, hobby time). Bonus was accompanying her on her business trips to some great destinations. ...

re: Monthly budget outline
Posted by SurfOrYak on 6/20/23 at 9:46 am
The idea of paying fees for a budgeting/spending app is so counter-intuitive to me. Plus, I don't want to give it access to my bank/savings accounts. Excel for me, esp. since I am more interested in tracking my current and historical expenses and assets, not so much planning a budget....

For those interested, Union Pacific will have its huge steam engine #4014, aka “Big Boy”, on display during the CWS. Will be next to the baseball stadium at UP’s Home Plate facility. This is the same train that traveled to NOLa a couple of years ago through Texas and Louisiana. ...
re: whole house generator
Posted by SurfOrYak on 5/8/23 at 8:09 pm
The less expensive Generac’s that most folks buy are air-cooled, higher rpm motors that are quite loud. The more expensive Cummins are typically water cooled, lower-rpm (hence quieter) 4-cylinder auto engines. You get what you pay for. ...
