One day play. 100 C cob today and back to 100 L2020 cob tomorrow no matter what. :worried:

 

[KevinD]

Did I say no matter what?

Something else I stumbled across.

Federal Employee Thrift Savings Plan

Thirft Savings Plan (TSP) is for federal employees. The plan concsists of 6 funds. Please refer to this page for the fund description.

Since all of the funds are separately managed accounts, We use benchmark funds as proxies for candidate funds. The L funds, Lifecycle fund, are not used in this plan.

NICE!!
We're supposed to get some of that... or ICE. Been years since we have had a major ice storm...

 

[KevinD]

I had done an IFT but I canceled it. Patience.

more snow pics please! I hear it's a mess back there.
Did you work today?

 

[KevinD]

No, I didn't go in. I kept calling to see what the plan was. They finally called it off yesterday morning about 11:00. I called this morning to see if anybody had heard from the plant and the guy I talked to said that they were going to release the truck at 7:00 this morning so I guess I have to try to make it in.

I haven't taken any more pictures but my wife has. I'll see what she has and post this evening.

Earnings season hasn't been very good to me since I've been paying attention over the last couple of years. I'll probably just ride it out in the L2020 and hope like I did before September 2008 (my join date here).

KD, be careful and watch out for the other guy.

 

[KevinD]

Neither rain, sleet, snow nor gloom of night. Ice on the other hand... :blink:

no kidding, watch those stairs.

We'd drive out the lot, up the block, then turn around and call it our attempt.
Doesn't matter who's at fault in a wreck, you still get written up, even if you're parked and somebody slides into you.
A day spent casing is better that a LOW.
Take care.
