The CZickness XLIV Girding our loins for 2022

[bcannon]

Wedding has delayed my debt retirement plans but by the end of the year, I hope to only owe a little on my daily driver. This may change if my stepmother needs to move into assisted living,

Medical bills....no idea. The hospital has been very slow in the billing the last surgery. We have had five years of major medical bills. I don't know the answer but there has to be a better way. One of the richest countries in the world should not have its citizens bankrupt by medical expenses....CZ

Everyone seen the new racing green CZ TS2?

I agree on the med bills. It's hard to believe sometimes that more people owe more that they could ever pay off in this country.

Havnt seen the green but me likey mucho. And that gas pedal is sexy. I see some changes coming for a certain TSO in the near future. I can't afford a Parrot so maybe I'll make my own..

Welp, On the front of buying a truck - nada....

I was all hawt & bothered and truly getting decent prices on trade for my very high mileage Outback (almost 147,000 sMiles) but thinking this whole thing thru ----

Sad to say it now with a new war in Ukraine, fuel prices are gonna hit $7.00 a gallon easily here in the Midwest.

I pray it doesn't but my heart is saying "NO" to a 17mpg Tundra, no matter how good the deal is.

So I'll happily keep driving my Subaru, looks brand new - even with all the sMiles on her.

And she is returning 32-35 mpg every time I start her up....what's not to like.?

It's been recently gone completely over and all fluids etc have been completed, 80K warranted Michelin's strapped on recently too.

There will be time for a truck down the road.

Color me "satisfied"

Oh and I just got an adjustable queen bed from Amazon and the Orig. Purple Mattress is being delivered TOMORROW.!!

Cannot wait.!

I have missed so much in this thread, I think even the start. Just got back from India. Was there for a month. Got hitched. Now just trying to catch up on work along with the HB 1077 stuff that resulted in a giant time sink yesterday.

Hope everyone is doing well. Sorry to see you're having a particularly rough time, CM.

Congratulations! Glad to see you back!

Debt free minus the mortgage. Always have been. And we’ve got a good plan on paying that off WAY earlier than we had hoped.

Same here. Paying extra on the house, people a lot smarter than me say it'll pay off in the long run. Payed off the wife's Equinox last year, it's nice to not have a car payment.

This morning's ice is melting away, rain later should finish it off.

Welcome home and congrats on the wedding

We have 126,000 miles on our 2015 Outback. Plan on keeping it till it won't go any more.

Just watched a guy shoot a thousand rounds out of a Staccato 9mm in 9:21. Slide temp of 480°f, grip screws at 194°f, grip safety 250°f. The gun didnt hiccup once. It was on Shooting Gallery btw.

Now he needs to run the same test with HP rounds. This way he can empty the rest of his gun fund.

I must have skipped over the part where you got hitched. Congratulations!! Exciting times!! Sometimes people celebrate such big occasions with some kind of purchase. You know, something so that whenever they see this object they think about why they bought it and how much the occasion means to them. Something they can pass along to their children and tell them the story of this purchase and why it is so dear to them. I can't think of anything that could be purchased that could fit the bill, but I'm sure if while you were reading this you thought of something then that's probably it.
