Injuries and the pitching staff are reasons that I am tempering any excitement.

Cars & Bikes, Driving & Riding

MWB has the right take. I enjoy manuals as long as I’m not sitting in traffic every day. If you have one long enough, there’s no thought to the process, it becomes second nature.

Colossal TV Show thread

My wife and I were looking for something different the other day and started Cheers from the beginning. Man, that show started out in stride. Most times you revisit (or for my wife start) older sitcoms like that it takes a while for everything to click, but Cheers was funny from the start while sti...

I just figure it’s better to put that saved money into the Roth IRA right away so it can gain interest vs waiting until the end of the year. As long as the number of back door conversions is limitless. So, you definitely can't put it into your Roth directly over time because then you're subject to ...

I think IRAs and Brokerage accounts are the only options, which is unfortunate. You could also do what we do and invest in the IRA and then do a backdoor Roth conversion to get around restrictions/having to do any calculations. Looks like this is the way I’ll go since our income may push us over th...

Was this how it was in the 80s after Bradshaw retired too? Look at the names that started in the 20+ yrs between Bradshaw and Ben; my memory features more Cliff Stoudt than it should. Some franchises never get that second guy. Yep, being born in the middle of the Steelers’ dynasty means I have zero...

You rarely are able to rid yourself of imposter syndrome 100%. You just learn to control it. I've been at this job almost 2.5 years and I still feel like I don't deserve it during the less than busy times. Always feels like there's something I'm not doing that I should be. This 100%.

Tax Season

Refund was reduced by $41.88 to pay a prior tax obligation.

These f wads paid someone $40-50 an hour to get $42 from me.

Hopefully this resolves my 2021 'issues'. I see two IRS letters in my Informed Delivery today.
Correction, your tax dollars paid someone to tell you to pay more taxes

Shaping up to be a solid offseason so far. I want them to nab Boyd because he's actually a Pittsburgh guy that's produced.

Still need a center though.
We said the same thing last offseason. At some point, Kahn has to realize this team’s limitation may not be the players, but the coach

The past 3 posts should all be taken with a grain of salt. I’ve followed baseball enough to know that spring training results hardly ever translate to the regular season.
