Same here. ***** is that, because of my age, I am not eligible for full Railroad Retirement until Age 67. If I commence sooner it will be reduced except.....If I keep working until 65 I will have earned 30 years of service and can get my full Railroad Retirement without waiting until age 67. The magic number combination under the system is 60/30. Regardless of when you were born, if you are at least 60 with at least 30 years of service you are entitled to full Railroad Retirement. Unfortunately, I started here somewhat late and took two years off, so the best I can do is 65/30.

Got the estimate on the asbestos abatement. It's going to bring the whole job up to something like 75 boat units, assuming no more surprises. Oh well. It's only money; we've got it; and there's no turning back now.

Are Kogel 12T jockey wheels with ceramic bearings worth $150? While they enable my rusty motor to keep up with the likes of you guys?

Whew. Owning a home is awesome, until it isn't. It's good you're able to handle it without having to rob a credit union.

Not as nice as our boat, for better or worse.
Barring bad weather, it'll be done by the end of the week, except for the inevitable punch list.
No ****. Much archeology being revealed here, including the fact that what I thought was a single addition is in fact two additions of different ages.
We've been planning for this for a while.
They're making good progress on the back.

Last year our main furnace failed to light when we finally got around to turning on the heat in November (this was 2020), which began a 4 month odyssey of insulation, rat-proofing, asbestos removal and installation of a new heating system which FINALLY got to the master bedroom. I think the asbestos removal cost us $2K plus the rental of two hotel rooms for a night.
It also happened at a time when Rango the Greyhound had tweaked his neck and shoulder and was having a paradoxical reaction to the opiate they gave him, which made him wander the house all night with crazy eyes, panting, unable to settle down and sleep.
All in the middle of the winter COVID surge of 2020/2021. It was a f***ing nightmare.
