So working a year longer, I could pull more each year in retirement but it would cost me another 1 yr hit versus just taking it now. The 14 months lost is water under the bridge. It’s complicated.
Ahhh but when enough enough for that peace mind. ;)

That's cool that you hiked the A/T. That's a tempting mountain in your photo...ever hiked in the Sandia?
Yes, back when we first moved here. I was still an avid hiker and skier. I wouldn't say my first time out hiking went well..... I never knew about "high altitude sickness" .... put me down for about 4-5 days. Lesson WAS learned!

I also did the Sante Fe and Taos mountains also. Wheeler peak is the highest in NM at 13,167 ft. I was able to make it to the top after being well educated on the proper way to do it!

Well, it was a long day for sure! Left at 09:00 this morning to be at hospital by 10:00. Got checked in by 10:10. Back to start test at 10:30. Multiple phases with 30 min resting periods in between. First 2 phases not to bad, but could feel the injected isotopes on the 2nd phase. I definitely did not like the 3rd phase..... first felt "flush", then dizzy, then neck pain, then short of breath. B/P dropped 30 points. Thank goodness the symptoms only lasted for around 3 minutes. The rest of the last phase wasn't as bad.

Developed a headache before we left the hospital.... a common side effect. They said to drink some coffee or caffeinated drinks. A bit of a relief of the headache, not as bad now, but still present. I tried to grab a nap when we got home at 2:30, but no-go....

Even though the staff / techs can't tell the pt. anything, they did let me know nothing was "jumping out" to them. I guess that is a good thing. Now the waiting game begins for the 'official results'.

46F and mostly cloudy @ 21:00, heading down to 38F for the low.

Refilled hopper, two sunflower tube, and two suet feeders ... plus two scoops of cracked corn on the ground.

Also six scoops of whole corn for the deer feeder - looks like they were happy about that:

Then some work after that down in the fish room before dinner.

Woman fried up some breaded cod fillets for dinner, ate more than I should have.

Then back down to the fish room for more maintenance.

Getting low on sunflower seeds and cat litter so going to put together a little Menards order before I hit the rack.

Hope everyone had a great day ... (y)

Morning/afternoon all! Another cool night, low of 6C, clear sky and light breeze. High of 23C predicted and we'll probably get there.

The neighbour's Guinea Fowls (18 of'em) have been parading around the property... Penelope (the cat) went out to check them out and the flock, calmly, 'stared' her down. As each one of them are the same size as she is, she lost interest in them.

All's well here.

Carvana gets 4.5 stars. They paid the amount stated on their web site and did everything they said they would do. I deducted 1/2 star because their uploading of photos was complicated and they were an hour late today. Overall a good experience and top dollar. 1K more than CarmaX offered.

It was all done online and the guy carrying the check only checked the odometer and documents and gave mom the check. Poor guy that did the checking talked so fast and with an accent I had to tell him to slow down and asked where he was from. He said Ukraine, his family is still in one of the towns and can't leave because there is no place to go and the planes keep the anxiety level up. He did a good job. My mom was wondering if he was really from Ukraine, his pronunciation the towns was good so I would say he was truthful but told Mom that she was very good in always suspecting a scam and to always keep her suspicions up.

He left the keys in a lock box on the window and said a tow truck would be by later. The truck arrived at 7PM, the car is gone. The 8 year old car sold for 3K less than it was bought new. Mom was amazed and kept asking if I was sure it was not a scam. I showed her the Carvana car vending machines on my phone, she did not quite understand the concept, of course I don't either.
