Was the retirement split in the divorce? I could see it being considered community property if they earned it while they were married.

They are still going through that right now, and yes, that's a HUGE point of contention with him. He thinks she shouldn't get any of it, and that she should just sign it away because he doesn't want her to have it. Of course, my sister is a teacher (not retired yet) so eventually her retirement will likely have to be split with him in return, but it isn't going to be as much by a large margin.

If it's similar to military retirement, yeah she'll get half if she was with him for more than a few years. It's treated like an asset for court, yet taxed like income for everything else. Yay.

Took my truck to one of those drive in car wash places today, the guy that leads you in wasn't even looking at me, waving me in as he was paying attention to someone else. Then he just stops all together. I roll my window down and ask him 'what's going on' and the guy sticks his hand up like I'm bothering him. I then told him not to hand wave me motherfucker I'm paying for this, have your own conversation on your time.

Not crazy emotional for me other than basically the time and effort loss. Part of having the cows is we were trying to raise our own beef. First calf was a heifer so weve been raising her out to eventually sell as a cow calf bred pair. The older cow/heifer I'm keeping and were going to be hopefully throwing us some bulls to steer. This one was another heifer so it would have been worth more to sell at least and cover the last year of hay.
What I'm nervous about is if the first time heifer will calve well and now I'm gambling on a 50/50 bull. If not, it means my horizon to harvest my own beef is 3 years instead of 2 unless I break down and try to trade/buy one which isn't as satisfying as producing all on my own.
Late night when it went down, so now I've got to go grab the frozen carcass out of a plastic bin and bury it in the frozen ground somewhere, at least that's via tractor not shovel.

I'm no bleeding heart, I love me hamburger, spicy jerky and all the meats. But I can't wrap my head around eating a baby cow that hasn't even lived. Or Foie Gras. It's no better than the asians who slow choke dogs to death 'to get more tender meat'. Just my personal thoughts, I'd never give anyone shit over it (aside from wifey back when she orded veal hah)

Whatever man. I shot a deer once that was pregnant. (Axis deer breed year round). We tossed the fetus because it was so small, but I did consider seeing if there was any meat on it. I figured a cow fetus might be big enough to give it a try.
My wife is a savage. She gave me shit over not skinning out the deer fetus.

Ya, not sure if she was working on it all day, I got there with like 1-2 inches out, but as I was calling my wife she had gotten several more inches and a soft pull had it just fly out fine.
To hoss's insanity, no this calf was already dead in the mom for who knows how long, short enough it wasn't internally rotting thankfully, but do you really want to eat something that was covered in inches of slime and shit? Veal is going to be young calves but not baby babys. I'm sure it would be indeed tender, but it's mostly a bony little baby before it starts developing a lot of muscle.

I have a hobby room upstairs. In it, I have a small charging table for all my random little fucking batteries and their attendant plugs and adapters. I plugged in a little 750 mah battery into its charger and set about fiddling around. This was not a 3rd party battery.
I never leave this shit unattended. I was working on something at the other table and looked over at the battery I was charging. It was swole and getting swoleier. It wasn't swole when I plugged it in!
I thumbed the main power switch off to the power bank it was plugged into, then unplugged it from its own adapter.
Off to the races! It popped and went off like a big flash bulb from 1950. It filled the room with dense white smoke in an instant. I was holding it via its wire leads and glanced around the room for something to dump it into, and tossed it into the middle of my leather chair. One of them cheapo $100 units from Sam's or whatever. This decision phase was just a few seconds. I ran the chair and the REALLY pissed off battery outside. I packed the chair with snow and threw the battery into a snowbank.
This all happened very, very quickly...seconds, really. If I had fucked up and grabbed the battery with my hand, it would have burned a giant hole in the flesh, and I likely would have tossed the battery or dropped it and caught the room on fire.
It was a small battery, too. About half again larger than this one and twice as thick.
What was amazing is how fast it happened, and how much smoke it produced almost instantly.
CHECK YOUR SMOKE DETECTORS and replace them! They have a service life of what, 3 years? This shit could have gotten way out of hand very quickly if I didn't have my wits about me.

10 years apparently. And I didn't even know that.
You might be thinking of other kinds of detectors. In my RV the gas detector has to be replaced every 3 years.
