    I listened to the WOT audio books while hiking the Appalachian Trail. I hiked 2285 miles and only made it halfway through the second book. Very long series indeed.
  4. Not tell anyone... Invest 500 million. Live off the interest. With the other 100 million. I'd buy myself a new truck. Pay someone to finish my house. Give up to 30 million away to friends and family. Kick back and enjoy my free time and go on as many adventures as possible. Hike the CDT, PCT, Te Araroa. One thing for sure is that I would not be buying a bunch of crap. Inevitably, it would affect my lifestyle, but I would want to stay as close to how I am as possible. I'd still be cooking my own dinners, changing my own oil in my car and eating out just a few times a month. Although I might break down and hire someone to come in and clean my house once a week... that would be a nice luxury.

  7. some kid will probably want it for the low steam id.
  8. Looking forward to getting my PC back, maybe someday I'll rejoin you guys and we will be reunited at last.
  9. Thanks dudes. Dropping everything behind to chase my dream of living out of my pack in woods for 4.5 months was the best decision I ever made. Aside from pushing myself to my limits physically and mentally, I had lots of time to reflect on life and think about what's important to me. I also got to discuss anything imaginable with other like minded people and gain their perspectives as well. If anything, the experience made me much more confident in my beliefs. I'm not going to say that I know what I want.. I think that is a journey we all face that constantly changes... But I will say I am much more sure about the things I don't want... And working for the bank is one of them. Money is a social construct that we all must use, but we don't have to let our lives revolve around it. Most of us are just trading our time for money. Our time is the most important thing we have. Use it wisely. Oh yea.. I have no idea what that means Turnbull
  10. Whats NOFX been up to since returning from the grand adventure last summer? Well, I got a sweet raise to return to my awful job. I used that to land another programming job making the same amount. I didn't really want to return to the office life, but I've seem to have gotten myself in a very lucrative position and this job is a lot better than my last. I had to seize the opportunity. Over the years, I've posted my opinion of mortgage, rent, the system, etc.... I sold my town home in 2009 and got back to square one. No money in the bank, but not debt either. I started living cheap and banking cash. Which is why I was able to quit my career and take 2014 to enjoy for myself. Ive been watching the housing market for the past few years. It's pretty much recovered. Especially if you are in a city like Denver. Even here in my small town, people are now able to get loans. The deals that were out there in 2012 are harder to come by now days, but with patience and preparation, you can find them. I just signed the contract on a house today. If all goes well, I'll be a homeowner again sometime in August. I picked up a 1250 sq ft. foreclosure for 56k. Paying for with cash.. Its tax assessed at a little over 80k and would probably sell for somewhere around there. It looks like someone had fixed it up to try and sell it, only to lose it to the bank. It needs very little work, if any. Anyway, I've finally accomplished my goal. Ive lived below my means for a few years and was able to save up enough to just buy a place outright. I'll probably stick around this new job for at least a year or so to stack some cash, but who knows after that. With minimal bills and a roof over my head, I'm free to jump on an opportunity that comes my way.
  11. hmm... I forgot to post a link. Every thing from amazon. $790 with free shipping. http://www.amazon.com/registry/giftlist/355J926X1Z0Y7
  12. yea, will notice a significant difference with any new upgrade. $790 Includes a 240 Gig SSD drive and a 2TB data drive. No OS or monitor. What display are you using?
  13. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/MT7kP6 If you really want to spend the money, you could drop more on a video card and switch to an intel.
  14. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/d4YnJx really though.. I'd salvage stuff off your old PC. Your Case, Power supply and hard drive. and go with http://pcpartpicker.com/p/zBz2NG
  15. pretty solid cpu for 165, Can't really beat the performance for price. http://www.amazon.com/AMD-FD8350FRHKBOX-FX-8350-FX-Series-Processor/dp/B009O7YUF6%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAJM4UVF4RQCUWVBQA%26tag%3Dcpubenchmark-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB009O7YUF6 Hm.. although it would be tempting to get a 13% faster cpu and for $230 http://www.amazon.com/AMD-Octa-core-FX-9590-Desktop-FD9590FHHKBOF/dp/B00GPJFEJC%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAJM4UVF4RQCUWVBQA%26tag%3Dcpubenchmark-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB00GPJFEJC I use https://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html and figure out how much Im willing to spend for performance.
  16. Been looking at video cards recently an r9 280 looks to be the best bang for the buck at around $169.99 Whats your current cpu?
