Sorry kids, grandpa wants a new boat.
That cat food isn't all that bad if you put ketchup on it.

As it happens, this grandpa's SS payments did in fact pay for the boat, a
37-foot sloop. Gone now. Wrecked. My SS supported insurance paid for it.

I have been banking mine too. My plan was to have enough to build a
new boat but I am far beyond that now.
I am raiding it this month to build a bump out in my screen cage with
an Ipe deck but I still have plenty left over.

Now you're talking. That's the way wealth should be redistributed. Buy stuff or pay people to work.

I had a couple of my "union" Mexicans over the other day to wheel 2
yards of concrete for my footers.
The deal was $50 each for about 2 hour's work and I tossed them an
extra $25 each because they did a good job.

Wealth distribution at its finest. I'm soon going to distribute some wealth to get decent grass
growing in my back yard.

Yeah, winter up there is a great time to grow grass.

It is a hell of a lot better time to grow grass than in the Summer.

Planting grass seed here in the spring is, as I've found, a waste of grass seed. It comes up very
nicely, and then July rolls around. The heat, humidity, and dryness kill it pretty quickly.

I think around here, the lawn freaks plant in the late summer into fall....
