I guess its a good time to start this thread.
I retired on 1 of Feb 2023. That was a great day for me. Sold my company and got out of the relentless rat race of 50 years. I sleep well again, do not wake up because of being all cramped up and in pain. Eat well again, even broke my 40 cigs a day chain smoking.
But now the biggest of the changes starts. That one will be a adventure and some serious work as I found out already, because I am moving to a far, far away country, with 3 dogs and 2 pigs.
I have a Farm, which I homesteaded, cleared the Oakbrush, plowed the fields, seeded pasture, over 40 acres. Years of very hard work, physical work. Built my house and the huge barn, all by myself, with 1 or 2 employees. Gave my heart blood for this place. Thought I would keel over here and get my hole.
Looks like it will not happen.
But no, do not feel sorry, this is not about feel sorry, but about a adventure and they are great, lots of fun, with the ocasional shitty moments.
I went into hibernation after the Feb 1. Was easy with 15 feet of snow. But it was so good. Nobody called, do this or that, we have this or that problem. All I had to care about was my fridge, enough food and Bier and my dogs and pigs and push snow around.
But at 1 point I had to return to reality.
First I had to find a place in a country far, far away, for me and my dogs and my pigs.
Spent hours on the internet. I want to live close to my best friend, my brother. So after month search I found a place.
My best friend spent many hours on his BMW, cruising around and tell me, that one is crap, he loves his BMW. One day we found this place, we is bro and his wife and me.
Price just stunning low and perfect for my dogs and pigs, to good to be true. So the BMW got its work out again and Rocker Bro checked it out.
Perfect.
So I asked him to get civilized and drag his wife in the car to the place. She said perfect, but that this and that, little nitty stuff only girls see which are for a boy and 3 dogs and 2 pigs no problem.
