Made our move to havasu three years ago. We've had our house here since 2006 with the intentions of retiring here. When covid came along my job was impacted due to the collapse of the commercial airline business . My company gave me a nice package to go away so my last day of work was...
Worked with a guy years ago who seemed like a real cool guy but he had some questionable friends . went to a couple motorcycle race events he ran in with him. Well he got layed off and one day he gunned down his ex girlfriend and wounded her new dude then shot himself in the head.
Went out in the toon yesterday and there was a toon waaay up the rocks by the lighthouse on the California side just north of copper canyon. There was a ranger boat there and a few people hanging out in the water next to the toon. This was around eleven or there about. Wondering how they managed...
So went out today in the toon. Pretty good day not too crazy and a little hot but no big deal. Get back to the marina and putting the toon on the trailer. People in next lane backing a pwc down and all over the place. Finally they get it in the water and lady fires it up and backs it straight...
I retired three years ago from a thirty four year job in aerospace doing high tech heat treating. Very involved high production heat transfer stuff for everything that flies. Have these weird ass dreams where I'm swamped with work and all kinds of crazy shit. I usually realize hey I'm retired...

Had a buddy and we were shooting hoops in the driveway at a friends house . Well the ball got stuck on the roof behind the hoop and Steve climbs up and gets the ball down. So he scoots to the edge of the roof( sitting) and as he's sliding off he catches his nutsack on an exposed nail head...
I have another one that still makes me cringe. I was 15 or so and we had a well equipped garage with all kinds of tools and stuff. Well my dad made his own lead fishing weights and had a block of lead about fives inches square sitting on a metal shelf about shoulder high. I was working on a...

When I was a kid in the early 60's we rode bikes and skateboards everywhere. At thirteen I started surfing and the only way to get to the beach was walking or riding my bike carrying a surfboard. I lived about three miles from the beach. An average day for me at the age of 15 was get up at dawn...
