Looking at social security and I can make 23k or so without getting penalized. I can get that at Wally world for about 30 hours a week. I've been dinging my savings to supplement. Another 23k would eliminate the need to hit the savings.
In what has been the fasted 2 weeks ever, Trump ordered the iranian nuclear sites destroyed. It appears to be that was carried out successfully and Trump will address the nation at 10pm Eastern time. About 10 minutes from now.
I've see 1 video purported to be Fordow where they have the centrifuges to enrich uranium buried under a mountain and it looks downright apocalyptic. There are strange colors in the fires emanating from the site. My guess is you can't bomb enriched uranium and not cause some environmental damage. It would have been far better to have forced iran to accept an occupation and safe dismantling of their nuclear sites but that was never going to happen as the iranian leadership was dead set on keeping their nuclear program intact. Well, it is no longer intact and I'd say it likely they won't be able to even visit the place for thousands of years.
It will be interesting to see what the islamist leaders decide to do now. Do they start attacking US assets in the area or do they keep the attacks focused on Israel. And how much capability can they even have left at this point? Israel has been giving them a shellacing of biblical proportions thus far. Some of the Israeli strikes have clearly been hitting ballistic missile storage as the fires that have resulted have been consistent with solid fuel burning.
My guess is the iranians will start attacking civilian oil tankers again and get their naval presence wiped out completely. You can bet there will be some pissed off ragheads in the streets both over there and here. With luck that will be the extent of it.

I've got a table at the local gunshow this weekend. I'm heading to the fairgrounds in about 2 hours for dealer setup. Need to move some excess stuff and raise some cash for my heat pump and roof. I'll try to remember to take a pic of my table.
