    Well, the 67-69 part is nice. When we get to 100 plus in Houston, the bottom number might be 87-89

    Man, I’m into a martini already, so take this with a grain. If I had 10 million $$ buried in my backyard, not throwing any income and depreciating with inflation, I’m still calling it an asset. Not the best use of that asset, but an asset nonetheless. ( I have not looked up the TECHNICAL...

    It’s just semantics. Of course, equity in your home is an asset. Albeit a volatile one in a crazy housing market. It’s an asset with an expensive carrying cost, although mainly because it’s transparent. Renters pay property taxes and maintenance as well, it’s just rolled into the rent.

    An expensive mistake with my Pelican case

    What am I missing here? I trace my rifle on the foam it comes with and cut it out with an electric knife. Fits great. Is this a more rigid type of foam filler?

    Everything you need to know about slings and swivels for safaris and safari rifles

    Got the Trader Keith on both of my serious rifles. Absolutely no slip, plus a classic look. No way I’m hunting without a sling. Not on a tracking hunt that might last all damn day.

    What was the most challenging animal you've ever hunted?

    Bull elk with my bow. Haven’t got him yet, and I suppose I never will. I don’t think I have the drive left to get in that kind of condition any longer. :cool: Wind sprints and squats in 100 degree Texas heat ain’t no fun at 65. Africa is way too easy.

    True, although income taxes are generally manageable or pretty much gone at retirement, depending on your structure. But these damn property taxes are with you till you die. There are some breaks for 65+, but it’s not substantial. People on a fixed income aren’t real keen on paying 1500-2000$...

    I’ll admit I have not. We built our home in 2014-2015 north of Houston. Costs of construction ran about $220 a foot. Architect for an A. Hayes Town design ran about 40K. I know things have gone up, but not 400%. At least not in north Houston. Now, if you’re talking dirt, the sky’s the...
