    It actually does quite nicely. :)
    We built our own small home and don't have a mortgage so the monthly minimum payment covers all of our property taxes, all of our utilities, and about half of our food.

    Not!!!:mad:

    She was downtown this morning talking to one of the big bosses. They want her to work 40 hrs. next week & they are moving her up to foreman. Her retirement $ Is based on her last 40 hr check. As of today it will be more then she is making working. At age 65 it will go to 80% so its still all good. If I can just get her to slow down and put her feet up I might not have to kill her..:rolleyes:

    No need to do that. Let her sleep in and you need to go to be earlier in the evening. ;)

    Seriously sounds like she is getting a really decent deal heading into retirement.

    Pffft. :p

    No need to wait Doug. Pull up a chair on the front porch and get ready to rock a little. The cooler is to your left.

    i’d keep the taco. I don’t think dodge is all that bad like some. I know if i need to tow a lot i’d get a ram 2500 or 3500. 2nd pic would be a Dmax.

    I know dodge use to have a few problems with the tranny’s on the big trucks but i hear they have fixed all the problems with the newer trans they have.

    Close enough!

    Evening all:
    Now come on Jim! There's alot of people wish they were in your shoes.
    Other than :duel::angrygirl::argue::rant:, be glad she had a job with the benefits she's getting.
    If you move, just make sure there's a "WORKSHOP". That way you can say; Honey, I'll be out in the shop!- Not too far, but not too near! :D

    Hi Jim, time to take up golf, enroll for classes at the local college that way between hunting, fishing and them you will be out of the missus way and you'll be able to keep busy:D

    Hi Carl, my wife wants to retire now that she's 62, but I keep telling her she'll get more money if she waits till 66. That'll give me 3 yrs. of peace in my retirement.:D

    Hey Zach...hows it going?? Been a while since you came to visit.

    Hi Willie, thought about trading the Tacoma for an SUV but every time I need the Tacoma for hauling stuff I say "NAH" to trading it. Like it to much to get rid of it.:D
