    What a lot of people don't even know about a GPS is you can set it on the shortest Route, the fastest route, or the longest route.
    If you set it on the shortest route. be careful it might start takin you threw parkin lots.

    But you can go down any road you want to go down.
    I got all the HD dealerships in mine in case I have a problem and need them.

    Look, I use one in my Dodge 4X4 when doing home inspections to see when the street I'm looking for is coming up but I will never install one on my bike. As a matter of fact I'm thinking that when I retire I'm gonna throw my cell phone as far as I can throw it. I guess you can say its kinda like all those women who through their bras away and wanted to be free, well, I want to eventually be free of many of these electronic devices. :banghead:
    I know I can't get away from all of them but I can sure reduce my dependence on them. :gah:

    Is yer job that stressful.
    Man Please .........

    I am retired.
    Help a buddy work on boat motors to make some money and have something to do.
    It pays my motorcycle payment too.

    Live one house off the water. Travel 40 miles up one side of the lake and 40 mile down the other side. Low stress. But Can be dangerous.
    Very low stress. Took 4 yrs but my blood pressure has come down.
    When yer retired, you need yer phone for yer buddies to git ahold of you.

    Just do one thing.

    RELAX..........

    Yep, lots of stress especially in these Real Estate tough times. I've already been down with a heart attack a open heart surgery 3 years ago, don't need that anymore. I looking forward to retiring hopefully this year. I'd do it now but the wife wants me to keep going as long as I can.
    If I wind up riding back east to the wall this summer, I'm thinking of cutting off from the other two guys who are going to head straight back after doing the Vietnam Wall. Then head back via the southern route and may wind up knocking on your door. You carry cold beer in the fridge. :D

    I've really, let up on drinkin. Guess its been too cold. And I didn't hit a lot of whiskey this year.
    But there is a bar down the road a few miles. And its about 7 miles to Livingston to buy some.
    Business has picked up here so far. And I hope I can work everyday.
    Would really, really like to make enough that I can make 4 payments a month.
    That would be cool.
    but we will really have to stay busy to do that.

    Isn't that the lake where those people got shot by the Mex drug guys. No wonder he is never home.
