"........ Going to take multiple trips to possible relocation areas this year...looking for the great green rural semi-retirement place of our dreams...hopefully I can find it on our buget."- LS_mt125_owner

I hope that you and your wife fing the "perfect place" or at least something really close.

When we were much younger and even more foolish than we are now we were thinking about CR, but that is no longer under consideration......... not that I am much less foolish nowadays. Too hot here 90+ days/mid 70 nights. Other areas in higher elevations are much more temperate, but we would really have to learn Spanish even though there are "American enclaves."

Definitely getting older, maybe not any wiser... We’re going to check opposite ends of the country.. the great NW (Washington, Oregon, mid/northern Idaho, western Montana) then the SE (NC, SC, mid/north FLA, Tenn, Kentucky) never been to any of these areas... I figured, at worst, we won’t want to live in a particular place, but we’ll enjoy visiting. So many things to consider about all the areas, cost, climates, work or not... the list goes on and on... who knows if we could ever figure it out!

Because you're wrong as wrong can be.
And this thread is going to pot.

now you know, many of us lived rather intensely through the 60's since a lot of us are "that age".
thankfully I did not partake of most, and had short hair the whole time. I was a worker and a studier and the world
was going nuts around me.

it's unfortunate we can't discuss certain things because there are so many conflicting laws.
What may totally be ok in Massachusetts and California is deadly force illegal here.
This just shouldn't be, how can you respect your laws when you know your neighbor across
the River in another state has "better" laws. I come from a family of lawyers and have always respected the law as best as I could.
And given respect to LEO's too. Without laws sadly man reverts back to earlier times, which in some ways it feels like we are going through now...

And you try to tell your son or daughter not to smoke pot when they are 14, which they sure shouldn't,
and their cousin Buddy in Provincetown or LA constantly serenades them with how
easy things are there. Or they see it totally in front of them on their little screens they seem so addicted to.
All you can hope is your kids make wise decisions and don't hurt themselves.
Some times I wonder how I survived my teenage years. Did a lot of stupid things, including rolling my car with the chief of police behind me.
When the roof came down and hit the dash and I only got two stitches, I learned I have a fairly hard head. And i sure prayed a lot that Sunday.
Mmmm, wonder if that's the original cause of my bum neck...50 years ago. White 58 Impala with a 348. Got 8mpg. No wonder the bank president's wife
sold it. Serious pig but built like a tank. I had held on to the steering wheel so tight I had pulled it half way out of its splines. And somehow I remembered to duck.

So when I know I've got young drivers behind me, who usually are distracted in some manner, I always have concerns over what bone headed maneuver they will pull.
Most likely plowing into my rear.

What's so controversial about gear, R4, and single lid being the best?

OK, let’s add motor oil, filter brands, gasoline and trucks to the mix, we can shut this thread down in three hour! LOL

Ron- I call it "psycho-babble" and I am one of the worst offenders. Reading those psych evaluations is similar to trying to read those acid posters from San Fransisco in the 60's and 70's. Spellcheck hates me and I do not care. Spellcheck gave up on me with psychodiagnostics. I love the old "Freudian" jargon; not that I agree with a lot of his theories. I thought that you would look up "neologisms" I will try to exercise more self verbiage control.

".... I get it! I think"

You will get no arguments from me. JJ needs to do it this year or fade away into his last winning burnout. I can cheer for anyone but Candy Man.

Jeff Gordon came in and dominated the sport, knocking Dale off the pedestal and would have had 6 championships under the rules he broke in with. JJ would have had 2-4 under those rules depending on whom you ask. Some guys were cut out for the Chase and some weren’t. Plus Jeff lost a lot of his chemistry when the original team broke up. Take nothing away from Johnson, he deserves everything he won, the rules are what they are. Jeff and Dale SR. were very good friends, in 2000 Dale said the three best drivers were Richard Petty, himself, and Jeff Gordon. To me titles meant more before one win got you in some made up playoff then a short hot streak wins. When you had to sustain all season it meant something. Between spec cars, ghost rules, imaginary cautions and few personalities in the sport, I stopped watching at least 10 years ago. But opinions are like buttholes, we all have one and nobody wants to see yours. LOL

The CBD I get is 15mg/ml CBD and 10 mg/ml THC on a script.
The CBD looks after the shoulder and knee pain nicely and the THC helps me sleep at night.
I, too am allowed 90gms/month, but at $102.oo a bottle for a 30 gm bottle of oil, I could put myself in the poorhouse quickly.
Pee tests are an invasion of my privacy and I refuse to take them. I also do NOT go to the 'states anymore either.
