That would be nice! But I have a better chance of finding some gold rich ground and earning an early retirement! Still not very likely, but I can dream!

 

[The1rod]

Isn't that the truth. They say the life span will be longer, but how can they be so sure ? And at 75 ? When I was little, hardly anyone made it. Do you get to contol how the investments are made in your 401k ?

Yeah I can change it up, I'm just not to good with that stuff so I wouldn't know what to do.

 

[Simon1]

It has happened before, but is always the other guy.

================
Many years ago I messed with mine weekly. I was doing a great job to until I started seeing losses. I inquired as to how the stuff I was investing in was making increases yet my bottom line was showing losses. Turns out nobody told me that I was getting transaction charges each time I made a change. And I was making wholesale changes and picking winners, just loosing it all on fees and junk. So I just left it alone after that.

 

[The1rod]

Well that just ain't right! Gotta love fees and charges! But if it's not that it will be taxes! On a side note, why is it snowing again!?

 

[Simon1]

Keep it there,the rest of us are done with it. You suppose to get much or is this another surprise the weatherman missed ?

 

[The1rod]

It's just a little shower, shouldn't even stick around until morning. Just enough to make everything sloppy. Luckily it came on right at quitting time!

 

[Simon1]

So it's warm enough that it won't turn to ice ?

 

[Simon1]

 

[The1rod]

Yeah it's around 33, finally starting to feel like spring! That last pic is perfect! Just change it from sawdust to grinder dust and you have me most nights!

 

[Simon1]

Must be terrible during the summer then ?

as in Itchy.

 

[Simon1]

 

[The1rod]

Yeah it can get pretty nasty sometimes! Itching all over, and blowing black snot for days after!

 

[Simon1]

I can imagine. We had many forklifts running and all had soft tires. At the end of the shifts even I was blowing black snot out my nose and I was the supervisor. Can't begin to imagine how the lungs must look.
You up in New Jersey ?

 

[The1rod]

Man I wouldn't even have thought about that being such an issue, they must have been driving the heck out of those things! I don't even want to know what the lungs would look like! No I'm out in Colorado.

 

[Simon1]

Then you are probably use to the snow hanging on. Yes, the forklifts run 24/7 365 days a year. We have 12 hour shifts.

 

[The1rod]

Nah I'm still getting used to it, only been here a few years! Wow sounds like a busy place! I know all about the 12 hr shifts! I work 3-3.

 

[Simon1]

3:00 p.m. - 3:00 a.m. ?
mine was 4:00 p.m. - 4:00 a.m. ( I was on salary and I liked what I was doing so I generally stayed until 7:00 or 8:00 a.m. to help ). So I actually was doing 15 or 16 hour days.

 

[ARC]

I lurking! Keep up the good entertainment. I have been with you all since the R.P.T (may it rest in peace ) I will add to the conversation one day when I know something about it!

Welcome The1rod.
