    Our garden is really spitting out a bunch of good produce.
    Have already run through a couple types of radishes and lettuce.
    More lettuce to harvest, wax beans and green beans are producing a bunch, lots of zuchinni, just picked first cucumbers and tomatoes will be getting ripe very soon.

    I don't grow melons but have picked up a couple good local melons lately as well. Sweet corn will be very soon.

    Love all the good fresh, local produce available this time of year.

    Scored a free Weber gas grill yesterday.
    It was from work.
    They decided to upgrade and asked me if I wanted the old one.
    Literally, nothing is wrong with it.
    A $300 value

    I don't know if this is a win or not, or just confirmation of getting older but I signed up for Social Security today.
    Will be eligible to receive full SS at 66 & 10 moths and should get first payment in August.

    Nice little income boost of around $46k annually.
    I think we will just blow it and have fun.
    Great work FishinDude, you deserve it!

    Spent a couple days fishing recently and happened to luck out pretty good. Everyone in the crew went home with nine big bags of crappie fillets plus we had a nice fish fry while there.

    Got home from fishing and found a real nice mess of morel mushrooms which we'll probably have for supper tonight.

    Great time of the year to enjoy time outdoors and harvest some good eating as well.

    Man - fresh fish can be so delicious. You just have to cook it properly - with some salt and pepper, maybe some parsley.

    I found $100 bucks when I went hiking with a friend this weekend. We met outside this country store in a small town here in Oregon, and I found the bill on the ground in the parking lot. It was super nice to find real money on the ground.

    So, here is a very, very minor win. I went out for a walk yesterday and found 11 cents on the ground. Its a double win because I got some exercise and found some $.

    What I'm doing with the change is I save it up until I have like $5, then I deposit in the bank and use that for investing or debt reduction or whatever the immediate goal is.
