LMAO... Mark, me too!!! But once I start singing, my partner wants to leave, and I lose another fishing buddy!!!!Originally Posted by mhall
I have a saying I live by...
"IF it's not fun, I won't keep doing it for long."
That includes any kind of work, no matter how much it may pay.
Life it too short.
To look at it another way, I recently read an article from an ex-UK basketball player who played ball in Europe after his NBA career. He said that in Europe they all say Americans live to work, where in Europe, they only work to live. He said you can't even get a coffee to go. You have to get a cup, sit down and enjoy it. He said it could take 2 hours for a cup because of the conversation.
I've really gelled out in the last few years, and even though I only rake in about 1/3 of what I used to earn, I am retired. Lovin' it too!!! And still young enough to enjoy it.
I certainly wish the same for everyone on here. My next adventure that we are looking forward to is relocation. Maybe to the Southwest. I'll have to learn some new fishing. I've been to Pheonix many times on business, and you would be surprised how many boats I saw down there. I talked with some of the anglers, and they fish up in the mountains in the more "highland" type lakes. I'm also talking about the big bass rigs. I also like NM, and maybe could learn to fish in the Rio Grande. Either way, it will be awhile before it happens, so I'll be happy with our KY lakes and our close by TN and AL lakes too.
