I can't see myself making it to 98.

Our office is closed but I'm still getting paid. Should I go in alone and grind away? :lol:

Hell , almost 20 years ago now. Didn't they have a kickoff return and it wasn't like they went right down the field on us? Ted Ginn Jr?

The amount of BS he was gotten would make me pissed off too if i were him.

5am is a bit early to cut grass though. I do see the frustration

I'd agree, but these aren't really houses on top of each other. I don't know if the neighbors in question are across Blackwater (my best guess) but it's not like being in a neighborhood. There are plenty of vehicles passing in that area that time of morning. It's not 200 yds from Hooper Road.

Source, I grew up right there. That property the church is on was supposed to be developed as a shopping center. They had the signs up for 15 years in an empty field :lol:

If you were born in 1978 you were 30 in 2008 and well into your career. You got to participate in one of the greatest stock market bull runs in history. You had the opportunity to buy much cheaper real estate and refinance it for 2.5%. College tuition was 1/5 the cost it is today.

I think people our age also had some advantages over people that are younger than us.

our youngest turns 11 in July, so I have a while

We told them we were going to take random vacations during the middle of the school year and send them pictures. Maybe a little mean :lol:

Neither of us really drive a lot, so thankfully gas is pretty much a rounding error in our household budget.

My 18 year old daughter drives a ton, but I mostly make her pay for her own gas. We pay for her car, insurance and phone. Go get a job you little shite :lol:

That's about what I have. I change the oil and air filter in it once per year. That's all the maintenance I've ever done in 13 years. Funny that the thing needs new wheels now because they are getting bald and messing with my traction :lol:

I had a Husqvarna with a Honda engine that I used for 15 years. Ran like a top, zero problems with the engine. The rest of the mower fell apart around it eventually. I bought a fancy self propelled Toro this spring to replace it but honestly I liked the old one better.

I have a Toro with a Briggs and Stratton that I bought when we moved into this house 13 years ago. It still starts on the first or second pull.

Probably 70-80k too. They can keep em.

Essentially grew up off Blackwater, down a bit past Cotherns Tire. Baw country in the 80s and 90s. I still remember their grocery store with the Sunbeam bread lady on the sign.
