    Rain, Rain, Rain

    Wish we could send you western folks some of this rain we are getting. It started in late last night, I've got 5" in the gauge right now and it's still coming down hard. Gauge only goes to 6", I suspect it's going to overflow soon. In addition we've had several 2-3" rains in last thirty days...

    Just make sure you have a plan for health insurance pre Medicare. My spouse is still young enough and on private health insurance, costs approx. $1300 per month.

    Withdrawal calculator

    I've been pulling around 4% out of mine for 7-8 years now as well as two lumps sum withdrawals ($50k & $100K) and due to market performance we have considerably more than what we started with. Just about to turn 67, might bump up to 6% or so in the not too distant future. The big "what ifs"...

    4” N Frame Holster Recommendations

    If you don't mind paying a bit more and waiting a little longer, I'd strongly consider getting a custom holster made. Much sexier than off the shelf stuff and you can personalize it. Quite a few good outfits easily found on the web that can make one to your specs.

    It took 15 years...

    Congrats ! My son in law got drawn for a Michigan cow tag a couple years ago and got one. If you draw a bull tag in MI, that's your one and only opportunity in life. He's got to sit our ten years between cow tags. They award around 200 total tags each year.

    Future hunting trips

    Did most of my big time Alaskan and western hunts in my 30's & 40's. Frequently booked them two years in advance so that I would have plenty of time to pay for them. Now in my 60's and could easily afford those trips but not too interested. Much happier just hunting deer these days.

    One issue I've had with several variable magnification Leupold scopes is that the magnification adjustment dial can be very hard to turn.
