Morning, muchachos.
Morning, PageThreeRaz.
The past four days have been brutal.  Work shit.
Work shit's the worst.
13 hour day Saturday.  12 yesterday.  Saturday got overtime, but that's over now.  Sunday was just overwork.  No telling what's going to happen today.
All this OT, we're going to have another gun or guitar in no time!
I actually did a couple hours OT yesterday. That'll either go towards my new clubs, or the new dishwasher, or the ceiling repair I'm having done in the kitchen.
I've been stockpiling a lot of cash for work on the house.  I just have no time and we're getting late into the summer to hire anyone in.

For a while there I felt like a drug dealer.  There was a significant increase in cash flow and I was beginning to run out of places to put it.  I can only put $7K into the IRA every year, I can't put outside money into the work retirement system, and everything out there to invest in is overpriced.  I can't get time off to take a vacation and the warden hates spending money, so no help there.   So the cash just sits.  Given that current economic conditions are screaming inflation, maybe that's the best thing.  Meanwhile, I'm deactivated from the IMT, so the OT gravy train has dropped me off at the station, and it's back to white-collar exempt status and the usual budget I go. 

I am going to take a mini-vacation in week of 9/8.  My uncle in Bend has tickets to Dave Matthews, and it's always a party hanging with Gary and his friends.  Maybe he'll guide me to a real estate investment of some sort.
There are still safe investments that are liquid and earn a lot more than in the tin can buried in the back yard.

Vacation dad is quite sore today. We went roller skating yesterday. Oof.
That sounds like one of those activities where the next day, you're sore in muscles you didn't even realize you'd use for that activity.
Correct! I can't tell you how much my shoulder is killing me today. Probably from having to lift myself off the floor when I fell on my ass.

Notice he didn't say his ass was sore....sufficient padding there!   
You're mean.

Well, we got to Page 2. I'm going to go find an event for us all to enjoy during vacation Monday.
Beach day this week?
Definitely. Probably twice.

I hear ya, Raz. I can see the emails piling in and some of the subject lines have me tempted but I'm ignoring it all until next week.

I have been looking to put together a order since Friday. Deals becoming more and more of a rarity.
I should have a brown box delivery later this week.

8 or 9 months ago would've been a fantastic time to get into a real estate investment.
Not out here.
Fair enough. Out here, prices have gone from normal to crazy through the roof in the last 9 months or so. I hear it's starting to settle a bit, but man, to have seen this coming at this time last year.

I know it's a dangerous place to visit, but did you check out the Devil for those MOWPA's you were looking for?
Yes and I think it's in my best interest to stay away from the bid sites

I recently got some Perdomo Small Batch, if that's what you're thinking of.

Although Atlantic VIP is pretty darn good if you regularly purchase, especially boxes.  Pays for itself in about 2 box purchases (depending).
