Yea I saw you riding around is a good portion of your 401k today.
Now I have no idea whatsoever what you meant by that.Yea I saw you riding around is a good portion of your 401k today.
But all I can say to you young whippersnappers is that you better save hard 'cause you'll be supporting me until Social Security goes belly up!!! 
After which... you'll be completely on your own!

You mean that was someone else driving a GM pick up turning into Stop and Shop this afternoon.
By the way SS will be belly up long before you get to file for it. 
Well, I was out meeting my business associate so we could go inspect that commercial plowing job together... but I wasn't in the S&S parking lot. Near there, yes... but next parking lot over.You mean that was someone else driving a GM pick up turning into Stop and Shop this afternoon.
Trust me... I plan to file for early benefits at age 62... cause no way I'll get a dime if I wait until 67!!!

Oh I see Buisness, that's why you left the ARE at home.
I assume you are speaking of my "classic" Ancient Rusting Econobox???
I know how much you LOVE that machine!!! 
Had you looked more closely, you would have noticed that the truck was wearing two snow tires and two regular tires. My associate caught me in the middle of my winter tire switch! When he called, I just dropped everything and headed for our meeting.
Besides, the ARE was out of gas.
BTW... That commercial job looks like a real loser. I'd be losing more on the residential side than I'd be gaining. Not cool at all.

That stinks.
If the ARE is out of gas wouldn't it be cheaper to siphon the gas out of the truck rather than drive it. ARE gas is personal gas. Truck gas is business gas. Don't tell me I don't obey IRS rules!!!That stinks.
For the life of me I don't know why you'll drive nothing but Mercedes-Benz automobiles! I believe all that luxury hotel living and your famous nightly "lobsta and fillet mignon" dinners have altered your mindset.
No wonder you shake & sweat so much when riding in the ARE!!!

I know... but it sounded like a really good insult!

Wow Dougster, you are really

I know.Wow Dougster, you are really

I am just jealous of his infamous, nightly, company-paid "lobsta and fillet mignon" dinners, his completely free company truck, his fleet of Mercedes-Benz automobiles, his farm in Maine, his brand new welder and his ability to get all the 'scrap' steel anyone could ever want. And then you go to a tool show with him (putting up with him as he shakes & sweats with his eyes closed in the ARE)... and then, as you go through the show hunting for vital needs and exceptional bargains and chat with him as you go... you suddenly realize that he already owns every freakin' tool ever made.
On the other hand, he doesn't yet have a big red backhoe and I do!
Life is good again!!!

Or does he?hugs, Brandi
I think it's fair to say that he could very easily afford them... if only his wife would allow him to have them!...........and he doesn't have a Vette and a Harley in the garage!

Which, of course, is exactly why I could never have another one!I thought that was wives were for- financial and social control

Ya know, as poor, old and destitute as I am... probably indicating that no completely sane woman would ever have me anyway... I must admit that I do enjoy the freedom of not having such wifely management and control over my dwindling bank account, modest belongings and occasional tractorly expenditures. Like today: I am going up North to look at a used mini-excavator. It may or may not strike my fancy... and I may or may not buy it (I am somewhat disinclined anyway after last week's disappointing CT auction.)... but the decision either way will be entirely mine. On the spot. Just like that! I like that. It even makes me smile a little...............and for y'all, I would think that is a never ending task.

Despite the fact that most or all of the still-married folks here will always, in total, live happier, probably longer and typically have more than me... the freedom to do as I please... whenever and wherever... without hindrance, hesitation or interference of any kind is a pretty good consolation prize.
So there all you rich, happily-married folks!!!
