Is this still the old 500 ?

Warm here today, spent it working in the yard. Rain coming in about an hour and a half. Exhausted.

Slept great today.

But no work tonight, so that was a waste.

how'd you do with Trump's tax cut this year...we did a little better than I thought we'd do, but not equivalent or close to an actual 3% rebate, which is what our tax rate was cut by...seems we couldn't get the same deduction for state taxes as in the past...

About to finish ours, and lost out with the Kalifornia taxes eliminated/capped. The 28% bracket dropping to 22% helped, but the lower withholding all last year didn't.

Owe a chunk to feds but getting some back from Kalifornia so its not too bad.

Snow is still falling.

Ground is saturated from the rain.

There's some rain mixed with the snow.

Ditch is over the top of the culvert, the low end of the yard is a pond. The swamp looks like a lake with trees sticking up. Sump pump putting in overtime.

Mrs. Beach joined me for a smoke at the lounge. Don't think it's her favorite activity but she's a dam sweetheart for trying

dayum...Mrs.1 still coughs, moans and waves her hands when she walks through the man cave when I'm having a cigar...

I'd prefer she behave like that sweet lady who I met in Kauai who walked over as I smoked a cigar in the smoking area at our timeshare, and commented how wonderful the cigar smoke smelled to her. She said it reminded her of her father, who was a cigar smoker.

I think I wanna go.

$1k prize for a Carolina Reaper eating contest. I love eating contests, and I can handle heat. Dunno if I can handle fresh reapers, but might could give it a try.

Delta, I usually get the faces and gagging. Idk, maybe she's off her meds today

Danm, there was a time that would have been tempting, but I tried a fairly large raw ghost pepper that dam near killed me. (I think anyway. Never got a medical opinion on it)

Though I find a Slaytanic Burrito or Spicy taco of hell challenge to sound quite intriguing

Raw peppers usually tear me up.

I do grow habaneros and have grown Scotch Bonnet but the harvest on those is poor due to short growing season here.

The habaneros I make puree, and a pico from them. But I neuter them first, stripping the seeds and placenta.

I can handle the hottest non extract hot sauces out there without issue. Even some of the extract sauces are used regularly like Pain 100% and Mad Dog 357. But fresh peppers are something else entirely.

It's cheap and right outside the edge of town, so I can do whatever I want, but don't have to drive an hour to work. Even buildling stuff, or working on the house, there's nobody enforcing permits n stuff. I can park the camper on the side of the house, tractors in the yard. I couldn't handle living in a subdivision or in town with all the rules n stuff.

Taxes have nearly tripled since I moved in though, so the cheap part is starting to fade. Was $800/year, now I'm up to $2100/year. Still less than when I lived in Illinois, on a quarter acre lot, taxes were $8k/year on a $100k house. I'm on 4 acres in a $90k house paying $2k/yr.

I really like being able to shoot **** off my back porch though. Don't think I'd ever move somewhere I can't do that.

If/when I move, I'll be looking for 20+ acres. Preferably with a 1 mile or longer driveway and no visible neighbors.

stay where you are and shoot all the neighbors.
will work if you can live without that 1 mile driveway.

I don't even want to see cars going down the street though.

My dream home is on a dead end private road, on a tall hill in the middle of 100 acres of woods with a walk out basement facing a steep drop off so all you see is tree tops.

But with excellent cell signal and high speed internet access.

Also no more than 30 minutes to work.
