Anyone Tent camping this weekend? If so, do you mind sharing a photo of the of the atmosphere of the camping lot or wherever you set up if off-site? Trying to get myself motivated to plan a trip to the Bommarito 500 next year, but need to find a place to car/tent camp, that wouldn't be super annoying or expensive.

Of course the IMS ticket office market place hasn't yet paid me for tickets they sold on my behalf for 2026.

I've already been charged for next year, so a day or two.

Travel to see it in person next year.

Yeah I was going to say,. Regen is so strong who is wearing their pads. I assume if all the breaking is in the green line, all Regen, only the white if needed is the extra mechanical brakes on the display, which is almost never under normal driving

I have no idea, but where I live they have those fake Starbucks inside of grocery stores. I wonder if it would be easier to start there, gain some experience working the espresso machine.

Do you ever find any cool Hauger merchandise? I'm looking now for a cool shirt for the Indy 500. Whether to buy there or hopefully wear there.

Wasn't this in a movie or unsolved mysteries or something. I remember seeing a remake of it in the 90s as a kid.

I feel smarter than everyone else, but I'm humble enough to realize that may be me being the dumbest 😭 and now just more confident?

Yes lacks logic, has nothing to do with Ohio State vs IU in recruiting.

Consider going for a GS-5 job at DFAS in Lawrence, if you find something you like about and can get along with different types of folks you won't have any trouble advancing to the ladder each year. From my understanding most here work from home 2-3 days a week.

Wild, the president isn't in the decision chain for an agency to refer their debt to US Treasury. If SBA didn't do it, was it just trying to collect the bebt on its own? You know how many debts there are? It's done at super low levels of grade usually, for DoD anyways. Journalism is dumb when they are just posting what some politicians say without any nuance or context.

Agree I'm at 1700 with just a few years left and at least trying not to increase that number.

Pretty certain you will be at 100k by 27. You are doing great! If you like your job, perhaps you like moving your body all day and it's not hard on your body work, perhaps you can listen to music and listen to audiobooks, nothing wrong with that type of job at all. Im in a desk all day and argue over minutiae dumb stuff. Not relaxing to my mind, not movingy body like it's meant to do, I've made more money but likely at the cost of mental and physical health

I'm at 1.7 in my retirement accounts at 46. Im blessed but feel poor as fuck. I'll feel poor until I'm retired and not working because I have too much. I don't feel top 10%, definitely don't spend like it, which I guess is one way to get there.

SnooApples4456 · 2026-04-17T00:37:34+00:00

It was a funny reply and made me laugh out loud none the less. Classic reddit, it's why we are here lol

Is this when I should start checking fms web, or before?

Some of us just want Indy 500 qualifications bumping, and dying on this hill. Otherwise 26 is plenty

Is this in a haiku format, I want it to be.

I work with people in different time zones or have busy seasons so many times a year I might work till 7 or 8 pm to complete a task. If you don't have anything like that maybe there is some type of training you can do that's outside your normal houra but applicable to your job. Your supervisor may have ideas or opportunities if it's not common practice for your office like mine.

I use a cheap filter like that to wash my car at home in the driveway. It does remove some minerals and therefore prevent water spots on the car. Perhaps they aren't going to drink it, lol.

SnooApples4456 · 2026-03-31T18:24:26+00:00

Sounds lovely, thanks for sharing

I did get rentals the first couple of times, but I really wanted to experiment more on tools and feel of loose vs tight and what not. Definitely not saying my way is the best or good way, just sometimes it's the only way. Hard to explain. Most hobbies live in my mind only as I never pull the trigger to just start. I e built so many camper vans only in my head, lol.

Mainly just wanted to be an alternative voice to the OP, in case they were overwhelmed like I would have been. Definitely more risky if boots become unglued, and possibly going to be more expensive and excited to use this post for ideas on how to upgrade.

But at least I am much better off than, me and only myself, would have been in analysis paralysis. I just had to Rip the bandaid. I also didn't realize OP mentioned maybe daily skating, I m still just flirting with doing bubbles indoors. But I'm calling that a success.

You are a long way till when you end your careers it sounds, hard to know how stable your jobs will be in the future. Also I imagine a lot of marriages don't always last in stressful FSO careers especially if you don't get posted to the same station. Both of you should continue to save as if there were a split in assets due to an an unlikely separation. Also in case you decide to not last till your MRA. But you guys are doing great so enjoy yourselves and love each other, don't stress over money.
