    when I retired & went to the SS office in Honolulu the guy at the window told me: "It's not my job to tell you how much SS you will get..!" Two weeks later they sent me a big fat letter with all the details I needed to know BUT I had to get our Senator Mazie Hirono's HELP

    Gents,
    I never refer to my age, since you have referenced this...
    I'm 68, and don't expect to ever retire.
    Guess they'll have to plant me or something - from sitting in my field office

    Just a curiosity - What happens to all of the $$ that premature death brings to those eligible for SS??????
    I know of many who have no designated beneficiary and have passed on.
    And the SS system is financially broke?
    Uh, no... more like broken

    The government is robbing SS funds to pay for non eligible programs saying they will return the funds.
    Hahahahaha.
    It all started with Ronny Reagan who recognized the cash cow of SS.
    Don't believe me? Look it up.

    I'm not politically inclined whatsoever... but... I'm also a Federal employee

    I have no more input.

    I've noticed that this forum is seriously lacking in pictures.
    I have tried to load pix - but it is a really haphazard function.
    I have tons of pix for my thread, but it only works occasionally.
    What up?
    I recently was successful, but the next time I tried... X

    I have a ton of pictures to post but have not had any new success.
    I wrote a book in the "what do you do for work" section and it vaporized. FTW.
    I tied to post on tis tread and it also vanished.
    Spooky

    I installed the header last Saturday and was going to take the truck to a muff shop to have a custom exhaust built...
    Well... Guess where I am?
    Yez, in the land of fruits and nuts - California.

    I called a shop named "Muffler Man" and described what I was hoping too have done.
    The tech immediately said that converters have skyrocketed in price and from what I described, it would cost a few clicks under $1000(??) He said a cat would cost about $675. I told him I would provide a Spin Tech muffy...
    I went to eBay, and found a 2.25" California certified cat is about $175...
    So, this ain't happening.

    I was considering going to Cardboard Freight and buying their high end TIG welder, but that would require shielding gas, rental of a tank -blah.
    So, I guess I'm going to have to use a cheap azzed flux MIG.
    The king of bird crap welds.

    I'm going to rent a car until I figure this out somehow.
    The truck is so loud - it gives me a headache.

    So much for improvements.
