You seem happier already. i’m trying; but, not there yet. confused definitely...no idea what to do with my life now. I do have a new venture that i need to focus on. But, not to let any of you down, i’m still being very irresponsible. My household goods haven’t arrived yet, so i had to go out and buy a 60” television so i can watch my Golden State Warriors. Now, i’m going to be stuck with two televisions when the moving guys arrive. I gave away thousands of dollars of stuff before i left, and i’ve spent thousands of dollars already buying new stuff. oh well, that’s a first world problem i guess. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utilities are going to be half the cost as well. Auto insurance dropped by $500 per year too. Good to hear from Ya. I see by this statement, you are NOT in the state of Calif......... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your premium would likey go up by $500/year from what you were paying in OC. i have a friend in Grand Haven that has been begging me to move back there. Actually this place reminds me of Grand Haven in some ways. But, with three of four kids and seven of ten grandkids in SoCal -- I’m closer when i need to go visit or them come visit me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m learning first hand just how many ways Governor Moonbeam fleeces the citizens of California. I was the proverbial frog sitting fat, dumb, and happy in the pot of slowly boiling water. I think you were in Reno when i passed though your area (kinda close). Have a cousin about 30 minutes south of Sacramento, stayed a couple of days there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's impossible to be happy ALL of the time. It does seem as though you are getting there. Just do something you love. That's one of the keys to happiness. I'm sure the "stuff" you gave away was a blessing to those who received it. You made others happy...another key to happiness. Nothing wrong with being irresponsible sometimes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t pace myself in life and my pancreas got mad at me--a beer ever once in a while is all that i drink. There is winery in town that i saw; but, i don’t think it was a good one. Naked Winery is the name and their slogan is Let’s Get Naked. I never was one for the sexual innuendo in names, so the product probably isn’t very good. By the way, i saw my cousin on my travels and she RAVED about that Figgins wine (hope i spelt it correctly). She REALLY enjoyed it--thank you again. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarheel Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 Beautiful place Steve and you look happy. I think the worm has started to turn. Glad you are able to check in with us. Just gave the Volvo a bath while Jake watched. I tried a clay bar on the hood afterwards and the jury is still out on that process. It seemed to uncover even more imperfections. Used it on the windshield as well. Have a great week worker bees. Retirees.....at ease. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
