Which is better? 

Pissed from what you are seeing or …..

What's better is to fix it... 

When we are ruled and have been programmed since birth by baal worshipping pedo cannibals,  what do you think the odds of any of us living happy lives are??. ZERO... Thats the odds... 

To fix it... we gotta stand up for ourselves,  and for our children and grandkids... all those pedo pos must have justice served to them... literally all of society must fall and be born again with goodness and peace and love as the keys to society, instead of child rape and child sacrifice... 

We have an advantage those before us did not.. we know for sure how bad they are... we don't have to guess and be unsure like they were... 

What would the founding fathers think of us Allowing baal worshipping pedo cannibals to run this country?.?

I dream of that bud.

All I do is read a book or watch movies the whole weekend. Maybe a walk on the beach with the dog but even getting motivated for that has become a challenge.

Your openness and vulnerability here is commendable. This is the perfect place to vent. But don't let unfortunate circumstances completely steer your ship 24/7, or you'll continue to experience unfortunate circumstances.

It sounds like you've been dealt a tough hand, but you're still here showing up and making things happen. Respect my man.

Venting is healthy but make sure you offset that with gratitude. If you didn't deal with challenges, we wouldn't grow as individuals. Your energy is contagious whether it's good or bad.

You know how many folks out there would love to have some time on a weekend to read books or watch movies? Or the ability to take their dog for a walk on a damn beach? Hell, I know folks on this forum that would love to have the ability to simply walk.

Life is a wild ride, not always a fun one. But it's important to appreciate what you do have, and make the best of the cards you're dealt. Your mind is an incredibly powerful thing, take care of it and yourself.

Something I quickly wrote down while on a trail ride with my dog in the morning a couple weeks back, at one of his 'appreciation stations' I call them. He has spots where he always just sits and takes it all in...the sun, the birds chirping, his nose to the wind.

Listen to your dog more than your dog listens to you.

You just might learn a thing or two.

It's kind of funny. Dogs help remind us about the truly important things in life. They remind us that we have it all backwards. The dog is God's reminder we're doing it all backwards. It just comes in a sweet package because dogs kick ass. And happens that dog spelled backwards is god. They got that god complex up in them. And we have it mostly backwards.

Take care fellas.

The best is when they tell ya they can’t wait for you to die.😎 Unfuckingbelievable and waaaaay too angry and hateful…and always lacking any sort of relationship with comedy or humor…

But, I digress.

What’s funniest, there’s quite a few of you in here that are friends beyond this board…and then there’s the one’s that certainly aren’t 🤣

Between you, Sumdood, SeeMeFirst, ML, CarlinoJoe…the Bean Canyon Posse…the Arizona Suite Poachers and Gun Totters,  various old dudes that still ride & the weekly SX attendees gang…etc. …I’ve had…we’ve had…some great laughs away from the board. There’s a message in there, I think.

Anyways, fuck’em. They not only “Don’t Matter for Shit”…they’re not worth the time and, hell…too many of’em are jus’ miserable peeps.

Ya know what? We need to have a “Goin’ to The Shoug” party.

There’s quite a few that I’ve become friends with that made this place worthwhile in which I’m thankful for. Some  even with differences we’ve had, found common ground and, we’ve reciprocated decency. 

But, when it comes to watching the fuckin Roo Roper’s (no offense meant to the decent dudes down under) non stop  what about and, other Tricks constant soap boxing it gets annoying after 124,650,089,985,009,128 posts talking the same shit regardless of the subject. 

Back to your point. That’s why we’re in touch outside this place. Fuckem. 

Salmon season is late August-October. The doors open to you and, the rest I’m in touch with.

I actually do wish that I wasn't being bombarded with orange man's idiocy as well as most of the politicians in my state. It really is depressing. Here's one for instance: I have an 06 Tundra with a bad catalytic converter. In 48 other states, that cat costs about $350 to replace. In my wonderful state, the cat is $1488.00 just for the fucking cat. BTW, the 06 Tundra, for sale in California, has 4 fucking catalytic converters. I have good reason to whine.

Examples of the democrat idiocy that come to mind are open borders, dei, taxes, trans agenda, not punishing criminals, shutting down oil pipelines, not deporting illegal aliens, electric car mandates, men in women’s sports, vaccine mandates, and green energy like windmills. Stupid fucking democrats are guaranteed to bring all this stuff back if they are in position again to do so. Be careful what you wish / vote for. Tell me where I am wrong.

Point out where I "wished" for anything or announced a plan to vote for democrats. What is your point?

The people are finally done with both parties I feel.  It’s simple really, they want a candidate that’s focused on everyday Americans. ( jobs, housing, retirement, healthcare and college)  Not trans, not billionaires, and not foreign countries.

He's undoubtedly the most miserable person on this board. 

Especially his gravitation over to mon moto early last year.

I'm honestly almost over the crowds and constant financial battle to stay here. Seems like everyday something new to piss me off.

Pay cash for solar so I can retire with no electric bill. That lasted 1 year before sdg&e decided I owe $ 25+ a month for distribution, doesn't matter if I produced 10 x more energy than I use.    

Local mtb trails at the dog park ? Under fire from a new general who doesn't want the public on pendleton anymore. That includes the beach we used to ride. Thanks in part to the fucking weirdo dipshits who like to run around down there with their dicks hanging out.

Local mtb trails in San Juan ? Looking like we're on limited time for those, new development of Horse property mansions going in, with a good portion of the trail network slated as equestrian trails. Plus angry residents sick of mtb's on "Their" hiking trails are leaving thumb tacks and nails on the trails, even though the mountain bikers made the trails, as well as maintain them.

Gas & Diesel ? yeah don't even need to go there. 

Car registration ? Goes up instead of down every year. I'm paying more to register my 2005 truck than when I bought the fucking thing. Plus I have to get it to pass "Smog" now for 100 bucks, even though there's no smog on the stupid truck. They open the hood, go "Yeah it's still stock" close the hood 3 minutes later and charge me a C note. wtf...

Traffic ?  uuuuuhhh.... that's a ten paragraph rant.

Ride in the desert ? Have fun battling with a1/2 million side x side wanna be off road hero beer drinking trash leaving clueless cocksuckers who are killing more and more 2 wheeled riders every season, usually younger kids. Not to mention every trail is beat to absolute dog shit.

Want to go race ?  Out of the multiple tracks we used to have that held regular races we have what 3 tracks that still have races ? Perris, Glen Helen and Elsinore. Cahuilla and Pala make too much on practice days. (Since the practice guys never race I don't know what their practicing for, I guess so they can say how fast they are even though we'll never know because well, they never race) downvote incoming for that comment hahaha.

Hey Borg you find that super duper Ca only cat yet ?  Never mind an hour south of here there's thousands of cars running on half their cylinders that have never, and will never see anything even slightly resembling a "smog check" 

Want to go the beach ? Don't look at the pollution reports. Just chomp 1/2 bottle of vitamin C, charge it and hope for the best. Worried about sharks ? Don't be. They're protected they'll be alright.

I took the neighbors to speedway for their first time saturday night. The 7 year old buy was super into it. Luckily I got him away from the Harley tough guys who decided a gang fight would be more fun than watching the races. Fuck, fuck, fuck those fuckwads. Why they go to the races is beyond me. They're not there to watch racing. I swear I think they only go there to show off their harley bandana's and jeans and belt buckles blah blah blah. At least the kids got to get almost ran over afterwards when they hauled ass right by the crowds revving their noisy ass wet fart sounding shiny piles of shit. 

Anyway.... not to be negative Nancy but yeah this place aint what it used to be. But at least the weathers nice 😄Anyway just venting here, have a good day. I have to go pull a permit to change depth marker sticker, yes I said sticker.... not kidding lol

My 2023 Bronco went waaay up this year. The state says they’re using “real value calculations” instead of the old depreciation schedule. What’s funny is…their values are above market. Go figure. 🤣

It’s frustrating to have the finish line keep moving. I started collecting Social Security in January and tried to “semi” retire. 
 The way it’s working out so far is I have maybe a little more time, and a lot less money 😛 Both our kids and all four grandkids are within an hour of us so I don’t see us going anywhere unless they do, but if they do? We’ll be about 10 minutes behind them

Hey Sum, did you reach your full SS retirement age or did you start a little early. I’m asking because, if you did start a little early , I was wondering how much you’re allowed to work/earn before they start deducting from you SS.

Pay cash for solar so I can retire with no electric bill. That lasted 1 year before sdg&e decided I owe $ 25+ a month for distribution, doesn't matter if I produced 10 x more energy than I use.    

Local mtb trails at the dog park ? Under fire from a new general who doesn't want the public on pendleton anymore. That includes the beach we used to ride. Thanks in part to the fucking weirdo dipshits who like to run around down there with their dicks hanging out.

Local mtb trails in San Juan ? Looking like we're on limited time for those, new development of Horse property mansions going in, with a good portion of the trail network slated as equestrian trails. Plus angry residents sick of mtb's on "Their" hiking trails are leaving thumb tacks and nails on the trails, even though the mountain bikers made the trails, as well as maintain them.

Gas & Diesel ? yeah don't even need to go there. 

Car registration ? Goes up instead of down every year. I'm paying more to register my 2005 truck than when I bought the fucking thing. Plus I have to get it to pass "Smog" now for 100 bucks, even though there's no smog on the stupid truck. They open the hood, go "Yeah it's still stock" close the hood 3 minutes later and charge me a C note. wtf...

Traffic ?  uuuuuhhh.... that's a ten paragraph rant.

Ride in the desert ? Have fun battling with a1/2 million side x side wanna be off road hero beer drinking trash leaving clueless cocksuckers who are killing more and more 2 wheeled riders every season, usually younger kids. Not to mention every trail is beat to absolute dog shit.

Want to go race ?  Out of the multiple tracks we used to have that held regular races we have what 3 tracks that still have races ? Perris, Glen Helen and Elsinore. Cahuilla and Pala make too much on practice days. (Since the practice guys never race I don't know what their practicing for, I guess so they can say how fast they are even though we'll never know because well, they never race) downvote incoming for that comment hahaha.

Hey Borg you find that super duper Ca only cat yet ?  Never mind an hour south of here there's thousands of cars running on half their cylinders that have never, and will never see anything even slightly resembling a "smog check" 

Want to go the beach ? Don't look at the pollution reports. Just chomp 1/2 bottle of vitamin C, charge it and hope for the best. Worried about sharks ? Don't be. They're protected they'll be alright.

I took the neighbors to speedway for their first time saturday night. The 7 year old buy was super into it. Luckily I got him away from the Harley tough guys who decided a gang fight would be more fun than watching the races. Fuck, fuck, fuck those fuckwads. Why they go to the races is beyond me. They're not there to watch racing. I swear I think they only go there to show off their harley bandana's and jeans and belt buckles blah blah blah. At least the kids got to get almost ran over afterwards when they hauled ass right by the crowds revving their noisy ass wet fart sounding shiny piles of shit. 

Anyway.... not to be negative Nancy but yeah this place aint what it used to be. But at least the weathers nice 😄Anyway just venting here, have a good day. I have to go pull a permit to change depth marker sticker, yes I said sticker.... not kidding lol   

 

This is HOF stuff right here. 😂😂😂

...I was born in CA and moved around a bunch within the US with the family settling in the Midwest...
...moved back there after High School and enjoyed the lifestyle, but missed the family...
...moved back to the Midwest to settle and bring up a family...
...as I read and watch what has happened to SoCal and the entire Left coast for that matter...
...I am happy with that decision to get out.

It’s frustrating to have the finish line keep moving. I started collecting Social Security in January and tried to “semi” retire. 
 The way it’s working out so far is I have maybe a little more time, and a lot less money 😛 Both our kids and all four grandkids are within an hour of us so I don’t see us going anywhere unless they do, but if they do? We’ll be about 10 minutes behind them

Hey Sum, did you reach your full SS retirement age or did you start a little early. I’m asking because, if you did start a little early , I was wondering how much you’re allowed to work/earn before they start deducting from you SS.

Hey Kenny, I waited until the full 66 years and 10 months.  Thats the age where you can make as much money as you want without it affecting your “Benefit” as they’re calling it now. I knew I wasn’t going to be able to live in South Orange County on my whopping $2209 a month Social Security check. My wife turns 62 in November so we’ve been weighing the options for her. The last I checked, you could make some ridiculously low amount of money for around here. I think it was 32,000 and something dollars a year without getting your Social Security dinged. After that, the penalties seemed fairly severe I thought don’t quote me, but I seem to remember it being for every 2 dollars you make over their target number, they take one dollar out of your Social Security check. Fuck I forgot to put that on my list of shit that pisses me off. Thanks for reminding me fucker.
Hahaha j/k. Here’s a picture of the stickers. I need a permit to replace.

Actually I was told the amount you’re allowed to earn…it was just over $20K 🤣

I’ve been paying income taxes and SS longer than I can believe, tho…I did skip SS and most employment taxes from ‘95 to ‘03. If I hold out to 66-10 months…I’m looking at right around $4K. I was surprised by that.

Just enough to eat and live in a tent under a bridge somewhere. Perfect. 👍

It says a little more here, these guys as consistent as the AMA  ? 😄 This simplifies it, theoretically. Sure seems like a lot of different answers for what should be a cross the boards simple math equation. But what do I know...

Working While Receiving Social Security: The Earnings Test Explained

From here the website says 24,480 for 2026.   (23,400 last year)  Might be interesting to have a few of us from different parts of the country all check it the same day and see if we get any duplicate answers.
