NWI INGO General Post Part 18 - Legal now!!

[jedi]

So last week or so I asked folks here about the Griffith Izaak Walton. I have never been there or even mentioned it anywhere else. Yesterday out of left field my father-in-law says, "I think I'm gonna join the Griffith Izaak Walton." Super weird timing...

the gun spirits are near!

Wife is ticked off at the school. Her and my youngest spent 2 hours there trying to get her chromebook but they cant find it.

Good thing an appointment was made.

Have to go to court in Gary next week. Am I better to drive or take something like Uber?

I work just north of there.
During the day, next to the courthouse, you'll be fine.

There are plants that you can plant that repel mosquitoes. I have lemonbalm planted all around our deck, and I haven't been bothered by mosquitoes all season; in fact, I barely ever see a mosquito.

Sorry pinkdragon but the web disagrees with that...

So if I DO go the lemonbalm route, all I need to do is plant 100 or so, and light one or two on fire every night when I want to hang out outside. Too easy.

 

[jedi]

Sure you could go that route.

The web cannot disagree with the fact that I have not seen a mosquito in at least five years.

So knowing this, I can't make any guarantees about whether it will work or not, but I know something is working for us. It's planted around the entire perimeter of the deck.

827 days till my estimated retirement date. I don't know if I can make it.

 

[portercounty]

I've gotta plant something. Might as well be lemonbalm. If it works, great. If it doesn't, at least it'll look nice. No worries.

You won't know what to do with all the free time.

Just wanna confirm all the below: Had to go pay a ticket there about a month ago and there were like 15 cars in the big parking lot out front at noon. Almost no one there... Gary has infra built for 180k people but only 65k residents or something like that.

I work just north of there.
During the day, next to the courthouse, you'll be fine.

Had to do jury duty there a few years back. Plenty of parking in the area....at least there use to be

I started my countdown 3 years before my date. Printed it out and hung it in my locker. It helped me get through that last stretch.

You're next job probably won't have the same level of risk. I worked in a newsroom after I left the mill. It was all I could do not to laugh during safety meetings. No 300 ton ladles with molten steel and no machinery in sight that could crush you. It was like a picnic.

You have skills that will be in demand and it's amazing how much you learn in the mill that translates to other jobs. Hang tough and stay safe, retirement is closer than you think.
