Joining the ranks of us retired old men?
Welcome to the club!
Its taken me about 5 years to adjust to this new lifestyle. I have no idea how I got all that stuff done when I was younger!

Congratulations Eman. "New Los Angeles" that's more sad than funny, too bad really.

Congratulations. As a guy who has way too many projects, and no time, I appreciate the work it took to get things cleaned up. Sounds like you have a good plan.

Still crazy after all these years!
Earthman, we've been internet friends for years now. We all have enjoyed every interaction. You have a gift for building creative, highly individualized vehicles. But when projects or possessions become burdens it's time for a change. You have recognized that. If is time for you to head for the hills, then that's what you should do. Best wishes for your new, improved lifestyle.

Thanks Bob. No one should think i am abandoning the hobby it's just a reboot. Still want to build a speedster, a trike based on a front wheel drive clip and have a bizarre compulsion to find a rusty 4dr '55 Chevy 6 cyl for a daily driver ???

I had a phone conversation today with a very nice young chap from Pakistan. This is how it went:
"Hello, how are you today?"
"I'm very well thank you for asking, how are you and more to the point, WHO are you?"
"Madam, my name is Sanjit, and I'm calling you from Microsoft.”
"Microsoft, is that a city in Pakistan?”
" No Madam, MICROSOFT, the computer company. I'm calling to tell you that we have found a problem with your computer.”
"REALLY, that's quite concerning.”
"Yes Madam, it can become very serious indeed but thankfully I will be able to fix it for you.”
"No, I meant it's very concerning because I don't HAVE a computer.”
“You don't?"
“No.”
"Ahh, it must be a problem on your laptop Madam.”
"Don't have one.”
"Ipad?"
"Nope.”
"Tablet?"
"I have none of those things. As a matter of fact, I don't even have a telephone.”
After a few seconds of silence he said "Madam, you are lying to me now!"
I said "Well, you started it!!" and put the phone down.

I mowed the lawn today, and after doing so
I sat down and had a cold beer.
The day was really quite beautiful, and the drink facilitated some deep thinking.
My wife walked by and asked me what I was doing,
and I said, "Nothing."
The reason I said "nothing" instead of saying "just thinking" is because she then would have asked, "About what?"
At that point I would have had to explain that men are deep thinkers about various topics, which would lead to other questions.
Finally I pondered an age old question: Is giving birth more painful than getting kicked in the nuts?
Women always maintain that giving birth is way more painful than a guy getting kicked in the nuts, but how could they know?
Well, after another beer, and some more heavy deductive thinking, I have come up with an answer to that question.
Getting kicked in the nuts is more painful than having a baby, and even though I obviously couldn't really know, here is the reason for my conclusion:
A year or so after giving birth, a woman will often say, "It might be nice to have another child."
But you never hear a guy say, "You know, I think I would like another kick in the nuts."
I rest my case.
Time for another beer. Then maybe a nap.

Einstein was born on March 14, 1879.
He would be 145 if he were alive today. Few people remember that he married his cousin, Elsa Lowenthal after his first marriage failed in 1919.
At the time he stated that he was attracted to Elsa “because she was so well endowed”.
He postulated that if you are attracted to women with large breasts, the attraction is even stronger if there is a
DNA connection.
This came to be known as Einstein’s
Theory of RelativeTitty.......

Four married guys go fishing. After an hour, the following conversation took place...
First guy, "You have no idea what I had to do to be able to come out fishing this weekend. I had to promise my wife that I will paint every room in the house next weekend."
Second guy, "That's nothing; I had to promise my wife that I will build her a new deck for the pool."
Third guy, "Man, you both have it easy!
I had to promise my wife that I will remodel the kitchen for her."
They continue to fish when they realized that the fourth guy has not said a word!
So they asked him. "You haven't said anything about what you had to do to be able to come fishing this weekend.
What's the deal"
Fourth guy, "I just set my alarm for 5:30 am. When it went off, I shut off my alarm, gave the wife a nudge and said,
"Fishing or se*x," and she said, wear sun-block!
