It is amazing how busy retirement can be. GliderJohn
I've enjoyed retirement immensely, especially after selling the Boulder house. More time for skiing and other travel, and motorcycles are proliferating. We've begun looking at properties in Paonia, with the goal of moving there next spring. Gail can have her art studio, a big garden, an orchard and some goats. I can have dogs, cats and a multi-bay garage/workshop. We'll put up a yurt for visiting kids/grandkids. Nice little municipal airfield (7V2) -- maybe I'll resume flying.
Lucydad,Sorry to hear that the V7 isn't good for you now, and that you're looking at a T100 or V9.Consider that as you (and I) gain years, less is more. Add lightness. Rethink the V7.Joe
*** I love not waking up in the middle of the night thinking about work. ***
I'm very jealous. It looks like i need to work at least two more years, unless something happens earlier that's not my choice. Then I'll be 60 and Cheryl XX and we're done. ***
I'm thinking that if Cheryl see you putting her age "in the clear" as you did, you won't get to retire but she will be spending what she collects on your life insurance. Even if she pulls the trigger, most juries would acquit. Just looking out for you. Bill
Glad you are living large. Good time to retell a JN Smyth story. He worked at a govt. munitions plant. When he retired, his wife told him, "Good. Now you can take care of my cattle!". JN told me his reply: "F#@K your cows. I'm gonna ride my motorcycle!" I look forward to uddering those same words.....
A coach once told me: if you sacrifice everything else, you could be a championship shooter (Olympic small bore). Nope, not doing that. Variety is the spice of life.
JN, when I saw him the last couple years, rode a big Honda Goldwing pulling a camping trailer. Not sure if it was his only bike.
I am on my 2nd year of retirement. With no hurry to go anywhere, I added 17,000 miles on my EV this past summer/fall. Quite the trip. Making plans for my next epic ride. The wife wont like it, but when the time rolls around she'll buy into it. Enjoy God, Family, Friends, and the Road as much as you can.Jose.
