    The Guitar Player Thread.

    That’s a seriously major benefit, especially if you play it. My Fender Jazz Bass wouldn’t sell for a couple hundred bucks. Sentimental value is through the roof so I will never part with it, but in the market it’s a beat up average Fender.

    Couldn’t make it to any slopes this weekend but still did something related to slippery snow planks… fresh wax for next weekend.

    The Guitar Player Thread.

    The Harley Davidson of instruments. It’s really about making guitars that are “investments”… which sucks.

    22-23 Ski and Snowboard thread

    I haven’t had much ice this year at all on the weekends. Pleasantly surprised, and we get there first thing in the morning. At night I’m sure it could glaze over if it gets cold enough. BTW - I took the snowboard this time. Holy crap did I get beat up. Wanted to give Shane some pointers and...

    Had fun spring-like conditions yesterday in the poconos and they are making snow the next three days so I imagine you should be good.

    22-23 Ski and Snowboard thread

    The life of a controller who has a calendar year-end does not allow for this easily, unfortunately. When the kids have a school break is usually when I’m busiest.

    Gas powered bikes?

    Not right now. All you need is a plate/registration/insurance.

    Tinnitus

    Stop bad habits like caffeine, smoking, alcohol. Remove stress as best you can. Wear hearing protection whenever you can. Then use white noise if you can’t sleep.

    6 Mile Run Conditions

    I’m up in the great white north. Coming down tomorrow, but the following day is E’s bday otherwise I would join.

    6 Mile Run Conditions

    Here’s my issue, if it isn’t cleared, go-around will form, when it’s wet, which means they will burn in a wider trail… And just for fun let’s all pretend that this just fixes itself and is never an issue that requires attention. Can’t wait for the memes and Instagram posts that come out...

    How the hell are we supposed to retire?

    It came down to COL and effective tax rate for me. The salary was a raise from what I was making at the time, and based on where I would have had to live to have a human-based commute (I can take commutes up to 1:15 one way), the property taxes in the areas I would consider within that commute...

    How the hell are we supposed to retire?

    NJ’s effective tax rate is not amazing but honestly not that bad overall considering. Which is insane. I debated a move to NC but when I looked at the offer I was given, it wasn’t good enough, plus it turned out I would pay more in taxes overall. So I stayed put, for now.

    You Are on a Long Boring Conference Call....

    Oh! Another one that I do - the Chess.com app. That’s a fun way to pass the time. Great app to learn or re-learn chess if you haven’t played in a while.

    You Are on a Long Boring Conference Call....

    I do other work I have to do. When I’m burnt out, like I am now, I do Duolingo.

    Gas powered bikes?

    The VanVan. 200 cc of pure fury. But it’s a lightweight little tank with big fat tires.
