Getting into F150.  I know the feeling but you are taller than me!  For my
Rogue, There's a handle above the door but I use the steering wheel to 'hop
up'.

Well chimney guy came and not terribly unexpected is a chimney job.  Now we get
annual cleaning with 'A Step in Time'.  Fireplaces are great but they do cost a
little to maintain.  Our last bill was in 2007 and primarily due to the nasty
renters while we were in Japan.  Got back just in time to not have it fall off!

ok, fequent customer since 1995 (except in Japan) to current racks up custmer
loyalty of 20% off plus Military of 10%= 30% off.  The tech was gobsmacked at
that long of a history!  1,300$ is an excellent price for all the work they
need to do.  Should have been 2,000+.

Ouch but not bad.   I decided it's time to start some disbursements though. 
Now the little Trowe price IRA Whick builds 309$ every quarter is getting
trimmed by 100$ a month.  10$ to Fed tax a month.  8 months from now, I'll
srart pulling Social Security with Medicare part B kicking in as soon as I hit
65.  Haven't touched other IRA or my TSP yet or any CDs.

Life goes on!
