    What foods have you not tried yet but want to?

    That's a staple in Mongolia.  We support a missionary working there.  I may have the opportunity to go on a mission trip next year and may get to find out what horse taste like.

    The Pet Thread

    Sorry to hear that.  While we are on cats, we had a interesting experience involving our cat and the Roomba.  He's an outside cat, but we keep a litter box in the garage for when he gets locked in here.  So Mrs. Goodal saw a mouse in the laundry room the other night and thought it would be a...

    What foods have you not tried yet but want to?

    Dates.  I've wanted one ever since watching Indiana Jones in the 80's.  We were just talking last night about how adventurous eaters we are.  I'll try most anything.  Although, I don't think I can do bugs.

    Life plateau after 30

    Like my momma always told me, "Cant never could do anything".  No, we won't all be president or senator or engineer or teacher or whatever, but if you have the mindset of "Well, I can't do that" for whatever reason, you will find a way to not do it.

    What is your favourite thing about work?

    That's a tough one.  Gonna sound cheesy, but I really like what I do for a lot of reasons: 1. I am my own boss (or at least one of them). 2.  I don't have to work in cold/rain/heat. 3. Very relaxed work environment 4. Pay is good 5. I learn new things (mostly because of my own screwups) 6...

    What has been your best investment % gain to date?

    I did really good on CAT (Caterpillar) and GE a few years ago, but was absolute luck.  I made something like 60% on each before I bailed.  I'm out of individual stocks at the moment, but I hear ATT and Verizon are doing pretty good.  Mutual funds are doing 6-7%.  Slow and steady I guess...

    Which is a good crossover/SUV (V6) with price < $18k and odometer < 50k?

    We just bought a 2013 Explorer Limited 4wd and love it.  A bit bigger than the Highlander and much more confortable.  Yea we only get 19mpg, but its a good compromise between the uncomfortable/weird Highlander hybrid and the enormous/gas guzzling Armada.

    Do you guys watch Survivor?

    Watched season 2 back when reality TV was a new thing.  Have rarely watched an more "reality" TV.

    The 2016 Garden Thread

    We bypass the big box stores and go to the mom and pop feed store type places.  We get better results from the plants and they seem to care more because they start everything from a seed vs. unpacking it from a truck.

    Questions about college and military

    My brother looked into online schooling and couldn't find an ABET accredited one.  I personally don't see how that would work.

    Standards for gf/bf

    Neither.  My wife wouldn't appreciate that very much.

    Movie thread

    Watched Arrival with the wife.  Although nothing spectacular, we liked it.  Along the lines of Interstellar as far as having a time traveling plot.

    Dear HVAC designers

    Code used to require 2cfm/SF, but now its about 70cfm per potty/urinal.  Not sure how they came to either of those values, but 2cfm/SF could sometimes wreak havoc on building air balance in the old days if you had large restroom groups.  Not to mention your throwing perfectly conditioned air...

    funny pic thread

    Did I mention I'm getting 29mpg on regular fuel now?  That's about $1,000/yr savings over the G35 with premium.  BooYa!

    Work from Home People / Self Employed are they a cult?

    We don't sell any of this crap (never have never will for a number of reasons), but my wife is constantly going to or hosting a party for friends selling jewelry, cleaning supply, purses, etc.  I'm sure its costing me a good bit of money, but she thinks its good stuff and gives her a girls night...
