Today is a Holy Day of Obligation.

So The OM has sent me to pray for the souls of all those on thread next door.

I should be working on the APU before it gets so hot.

That another part of the question, is it tax free?

I wished I were a younger man, I'd try and get on an offshore rig. Those guys are making some big coin.

Would have been good, and TAX FREE if you stayed out long enough. Had an old classmate who did QC for Haliburton there. Came in ever 13 months+ or so. Bought some property in Hendersonville, TN for himself and married daughter. Paid cash, and still had beer money...
