This is all pretty entertaining.

Good job on your physique, Dave.

Sounds like you're doing well Dave. It's certainly been a rough year in the market and who knows when things will level out. Along with being disciplined, you have a nice retirement nest egg that you've worked hard to amass so I'm thinking you're going to be A-OK. And like others have said, if it ge...

I haven't checked in for a few months - what a nice surprise to see you back.
I always enjoyed your posts about your house building. Happy to see you and your wife are happy in your new home.
