Congrats on being able to live your dream!

thank you... my son just came down with his fiance for a visit last week.... he was totally blown away by how cool this place is and how much there is to see and do and experience here. He said, "Dad... it really doesn't do you two justice to merely say you are "retired", you have perfected the life of bon vivants!

I said, "bingo". Living very well is the best revenge.

actually, the inspiration was a quote from Mark Twain:

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

My wife found that online about the same time she was looking for a good beach/golf destination in Mexico for vacation several years ago. We looked at our finances and realized we could afford to retire earlier than later and we decided to have an adventure. Our home in Mexico is named "Casa de los Vientos Alisios" which means house of the trade winds. The trade winds blew us here and the trade winds sweep through our backyard in the afternoons. It's gorgeous.

Jealous! It is snowing here today?

one of my fondest memories is looking back on the very last time I ever used - or will use - a snowblower.

Ah, another clue about the precise location.

Don't fall for it! He's pretending to slip up so you'll track him down and run smack into the arsensal he has deliverately been understating.

If DY did actually work up the guts to track MM down, I can only hold MM would put a bullet thru DY's brain.

Dude, he's been located long ago. After all, I know his name, which is uncommon.

Don't worry, Brent, there are people who still think you are an asshole

BURN OF THE WEEK! LOL

 

[Rationalist]

BURN OF THE WEEK! LOL

I took it as a compliment.

given the minuscule size of THAT target, I am not sure I'm that good a shot. I was going to say that I'd aim at the spot where his legs come together, but hitting that tiny piece of anatomy would be just as difficult, I fear. I'll probably settle for a pattern on the torso.

 

[DamnYankee]

No reason to fear, you won't see or hear a thing.

It was 17 degrees when I woke up, with 6 inches of new snow... On Friday it will be 70 degrees and I'll be out doing fun things... Spring in Colorado rules.

Personally I'd rather be in North Carolina in the Spring....or the fall for that matter.

But, then you all experience summer, we will talk, again in July...

Exactly. You're all hat and no cattle. I'll never see or hear a thing from you south of the border. Even habeneros scare you. lol

 

[Rune]

You misunderstood.


You don't have any sense.

Or humor

It's the best state, so much better than Ohio.

If that lets you sleep at night.

What brain?

 

[DamnYankee]

What brain?

The one that destroys your arguments.

Like when you lost in the JPP Debates?
