Home? I'm an Army brat, dad was from the mid west and mom from the east coast. So where is home? I think back on it Home is where we were at the time. Dad retired and we moved to MN. That became home. Then I joined the Army and went to KS, that became home. Then to Germany which became home and on and on from 74 to 96 (3 tours at Ft Riley, 3 in Germany, 1 at Ft Bliss Tx, one in Korea and 1 at Ft Knox not counting deployments). It was home cause thats where my family was. Sure mom and dad were family but when I got married I had a new family. And like a bunch of gypsies that family followed me place to place. Home really is IMO where you hang your hat! Did I make a few bad decisions through the years? Sure, everyone will. It's called a learning experience. Your kids will do what they will do! 2 oldest boys worked thier way through college, one through active service the other through dent of hard work and drive. You ain't gotta put your kids through college......sure you can help but you don't owe that to em!

I know a guy, retired doctor who invested wisely through the years. Now I would call him wealthy. He has 3 kids all doctors. He put all 3 through college. They became doctors with no debt hanging over their heads. His wife died in the early 90's and he has remarried. He built his new wife a new house, very expensive house, real close to 1 million dollars. His kids are mad at him cause he's spending their inheritance! Now there is a big happy family! My kids are telling us don't worry about an inheritance, it's your money, enjoy it!

Just move on.

Rick

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
