    I'm wondering where to go? I want to fish and would prefer to eat my catch (which just makes the activity so much more fun). Bough freshwater fishing license and trout gear (i.e. minimal); was planning to do catch-and-release, but hey, I figured maybe BARF would know a good place. I used to...

    I'm so happy, I love you all

    Today, wife agreed that I can buy an R6 once I reach 190lb. If I can get there this year, then it'll be 7 years since I last rode on the track. I'm at a loss for words; I'm still in disbelief. She thinks I'll never make it; hahaha little does she know how much I want to ride an R6 again.

    what if you put away $3 a day for the last 5 years?

    So, a couple of things from the other investment thread (or the many here in KS). 1.it reminded me that I wanted to buy some gold, and 2. I wasn't able to find a decent S&P 500 calculator. So I wrote my own calculator last night. If you had put aside $3 every day the last 5 years, you'd have...

    How to live happy

    I used to get a headache thinking about the infinite universe (or if not infinite, what contains it and so on). I love math and did well in physics. Infinity is fine on the paper, but I can't satisfiably explain to myself how infinity can exist in real life. Finally, a few years ago, I came...

    Any RVers? Thinking about buying a class B

    Well, I just booked our second RV vacation for this xmas. Our first RV trip was April this year, and it went pretty nicely. While renting has its advantages (like allowing us to fly to the destination), if we owned one, we can take more frequent trips. So, we are looking at getting our own RV...
