Actually, I live in Virginia and have a summer home in upstate NY. It
just seemed that there was never enough time to get out on the boat
for sustained outings with work, family, church and other obligations.
If I move it back to the summer home, at least I'll be able to plan a
vacation up north next summer and PLAN for some serious fun.



Ouch! Way too busy a life for boats. Sorry you're so wound up in it all
you can't enjoy life. I used to work hard and collect "things". Then, I
finally figured out that the debt to buy the things is why I had to be a
slave. Once I got out of the debt, I no longer needed to get up at 4AM
and drive in the traffic to pay my debts and the debts of those I worked
for. Now, I don't "do debt". I work when I want, not when "they" want.

Well, have to go. I'm meeting my old ham buddies at Hardees restaurant
for breakfast at 10. I might work on a guitar amp a guy brought me,
yesterday, an old Fender tube amp. That'll replenish the pot from the
$243 I spent on maintenance and a new motor mount for the diesel V-8 in
my stepvan from yesterday. C'ya.

Just for fun, calculate how many hours you work today to pay interest on
any debts you have. Post it over your workstation and recalculate it
periodically to update the figure. Work hard to make it read ZERO, then
tell the company you're not coming in tomorrow because you're going
boating with your kids or some other former debt slaves are coming and
bringing the beer. When you get out on the water, yell in my direction
and let me know you're out there. I'm in Charleston, SC. I'll hear you,
if even only in my mind....(c;

No, you don't need a new car. You need to fix the old car, which screws
several layers of tax bureaucrats out of stealing your money......(c;
