havent been normal since i wasa a lil kid. found out why in my 48th year of life. wow. ok, so we keep on keeping on..no disaster…kept working until i was 55, at which point, finding new jobs becomes a nonfactor. doesnt happen. thank gods i am rn.
grew disabled and no longer able to fiunction in the career field in which i was trained –got my self together and found a getaway boat knowing my ericson would sell in a heartbeat. ooops market fell into agreat hole. no bigggie. we keep on– so i have 2 boats. something to fall back on if something happens to this one before mortgage is due. at that time i sign ericson to the man i bought this boat from and we are great and free.
health issues were main reason for exiting cold kali– am here in mazatlan with exactly opposite climate–is awesome— my bod is reactinhg to something– not montys water, and i am convinced the condition keeping me from knowing nroamlcy is becoming more advanced, as i am older than many i have known with this ….. is all good—my kat thinks i am dying and i am still alive and having time of my life.
my problem is my kat. bubba is mine. he loves me , i am his family. he cannot outlive me unless someone can care for a mourning kitty. i spoil his ass and love him dearly–i never met a cat more perfect than this one. goood buddy and family member– guards me and boat and makes sure we are all fine. we have agreements–hairballs on floor, not clothing, scratch on poost i made him, eat foods i give him and we try to comb him every day.
the remainder of our pact is that i will not go away and leave him ever again… did that one time and he tried to kill me for it—we get along just fine–
no point to this–just sayin…..
is beautiful here in pair a dice and i plan on finding out more about many other places to be with bird before the end of my world as i know it…..
life is an adventure meant to be LIVED!!!!!!

Have to agree with you on that part about the cold. Came to FL in 1999 and left CT. In a year some of my aches and pains had gone. Also some of the allergies, for couple of years.
As we get older the years race by and we hopefully start to realize the BS# isn’t worth it. I have let some folks in my life know that. I hear you my friend. So how is the boat coming? Dodger in place? Oh yes you don’t need one of those just something to keep the water out from below. You will be alright, that’s a guarantee, you probably just added years to your life by getting out of the rat race.

Hi Karen;
Speaking of life, my sister sent me this note,
MOTTO TO LIVE BY
LIFE SHOULD NOT BE A JOURNEY TO THE GRAVE WITH THE INTENTION OF ARRIVING SAFELY IN AN ATTRACTIVE AND WELL PRESERVED BODY,
BUT RATHER TO SKID IN SIDEWAYS, BODY THOROUGHLY USED UP TOTALLY WORN OUT, AND SCREAMING WOO-HOO WHAT A RIDE. (lol)
Lots of things happening on the bay, some good some not so good, better you know on e-mail, although every thing is great with me and the dukster.
I put Duke on you tube 3 yr. old boxer, (my boxer duke on the bay)
Patsy is getting a job on a ship, and said hi, it’s 120 degrees over there and no a/c
Glad to hear you and kat are well, and living your dream. ovwa.
ray–send me email with what is happening–i still have a boat there so i need ot know… tell patsy hay and i love her–goood lady., i think jimmy left my bell now–he may be with patsy now…duke sounds like a cool goggie… take care and behave….. dont worry, me corpus isnt gonna be purrty when i croak–will be well used…..
cant give hints–hopefully consciences work and i know karma does…..
Worn out and full of happiness is all we can ask for when we go to where ever we are going to go at the end of this life. Heck, I hope most of my joints will move some so I can crawl out of the way of the reaper when he or she appears. I am going to last a LONG time.. and so are you, Zee….I will see you in the Gulfo de Mexico next spring and then we can have several rum and cokes and tell lies to each other and tell anyone who disagrees to kiss off and get off.
rum and coke and or painkillers–i like those—- and some relaxation in clear aqua seas…..cane garden bay is awesome and has great rum.
