• Watch The Greenbacks Tumble

    What are your favorite side-hustle ideas?

    I personally dislike the term side hustle. In the good old United States where the rich get richer, it is embarrassing that people even need a side hustle.

    An unstated goal in life is to spend as much time at home without going to work. The mantra work to live not live to work is one I live by.

    I am fortunate I never had to have a side hustle.

    We moved from Portland to north of Seattle about four months ago. Unfortunately, we can’t go to the Portland Thorns or Portland Timber soccer games all the time. So for now we get a study stream of income from selling those tickets.

    Yes, rocket scientist I realize I paid for them.

    Beer

    I am a regular beer drinker but not to excess. but lately, I simply stopped drinking beer at home. I bet I’m saving $200 a month.

    If you think about it doing the Wall Street shuffle is a side hustle filled with privilege. Her investments grow without us doing a damn thing.

    Oh, Howard Hughes
    Did your money make you better?
    Are you waiting for the hour
    When you can screw me?
    ‘Cause you’re big enough 

    To do the Wall Street Shuffle
    Let your money hustle
    Bet you’d sell your mother
    You can buy another

  • Exercise in Futility

    Exercise in Futility

    What are five simple exercises to do at home?

    I am a runner by nature and certainly we can walk right out the door and start running. All you need is some decent shoes and an active imagination. But running isn’t for everybody so you can certainly walk, pogo stick or bike.

    I am lucky enough to have a Peleton, so certainly unfortunate to be able to ride the bike in the house. I prefer being outside, but my wife certainly loves it. And yesterday was our grandson fifth birthday and he got a bike. It was raining so he rode it all over the house.

    A yoga mat does wonders if you are so inclined. Do some stretching after your run.

    If you get real nostalgic go for the gust ? You could always do the thigh master. Do you remember that thing?. I bet Suzanne Summers was good in bed.

    Certainly, have some rubber bands around or some light weights You can always do some toning and look like this young man.

    I remember one time visiting my brother in Atlanta. His wife was at 9500 step for the day and she just walked all over the house.. I think she came back.

  • I am In Love With my Car.

    I am In Love With my Car.

    Which relationship has taught you the most about yourself?

    I was taking the car in to get new tires. I rather abhor drying on two lane roads is rural Washington. I pulled in to the town of Monroe for my 10:00 appointment and the access to shop was closed.

    I drove past three drive thrus of Americans idling their cars and waiting for a whopper or a latte.

    I made 23 turns to get into the shop and finally got close to the entrance and Vigilante Flagger guy told me , for the third time, I couldn’t turn there.

    I did anyways.

    Yesterday while running some gut gave me the finger for running on the road. I wanted to to tell the Fat Parnelli Jones he could use a few miles out on the open road.

    These little relationships in life reinforce “Mericas” unhealthy relationship with their cars. And there are some battles not worth fighting yet like The Car Talk Guys, somehow I do.

    I wouldn’t mind owning a Indie record store, bookstore.

    My initial promotion would be $15 off for those who did not vote in the last election who can prove that they voted in this one.
