    Uncle/Aunt/Cousins/Nephews live in Montak. Uncle complains about it all the time. They visit me from time to time and I would love to go to Montak someday but not feeling the urban compact.

    If you saw where I live you'd understand. I'm in the boon docks/mountains,dirt road in the middle of 1000 acres land conservationism. I get PTSD when in Urban compact. Urban compact is a necesary evil I understand but I inherantly avoid it as much as possible. Its great to take a piss in the great outdoors and not have to worry about getting a ticket for indecent exposure.

    Don't worry your secret is safe with me.

    I've spent a lot of time over the years exploring the Granite State. Have old MC buds retire there in the woods. They spend summers chopping wood and winters burning it. They also watched their wives leave them and come back to the urban jungle. Montauk is an interesting town. I also go there a lot off season to fish and relax with wife. It's a tough place in the mid winter months. I myself would require a balance of rural and some civilization when we retire. Winters by you are too long and shut in for me and wife. I want more warm and no snow.

    Hey, I feel for people that can live where it snows. I get depressed easily when its very cold outside and I can't go out and do thing.
    I wind up sleeping all the time.

    Never been up north in the bad snows.

    Its never over here. You're either in winter or preparing for next winter. this summer I re shingled the barn roof w/ new plywood too and recaulked windows and jams. Got on a fuel budget and got tractor and snow blower serviced and on the ready.

    BRING IT!!

    Most winters here we get no snow. I don't like it, either. There's an old picture of me when I was maybe 7 or 8, making a snowman with the neighborhood kids. But that was then, this is now.

    Our last big snow storm was a freak snow storm. We usually get an inch for a couple day. That year at Christmas we had 3 feet in the driveway. We were snowed in for over a week. Couldn't even get the big 4-wheel up the steep driveway of mine. That was right after my open heart surgery earlier that year and still shoveled some of the snow off for Christmas. Never seen one like that here before or sense.
