Utah Bob #35998 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Done with threads about the shutdown. Done with threads about masks. Done with threads about protests. Done with threads about politics. Done with threads about racism. Done with threads about police. Done with threads about how the country is going to hell in a hand basket. Getting so there’s not much else it seems Life’s too short. I’ll follow my own drummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I’m not sure how mobile you and your sweetheart are, but about two hours from Charlotte are some of the prettiest mountains and waterfalls you’ll lay eyes on. https://explorebrevard.com/top-10-waterfalls/ Did I mention there’s not much cell coverage in the area? My wife and I are heading there for a day trip this weekend, for many of the reasons you outlined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Matt Lurse Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I quit the news about 5 years ago for the most part. Don’t do TV news or talk radio at all, very limited print/internet (read headlines on Drudge every couple of days). Will actually read whole articles about local stuff. WAY happier, and still dont miss much. I recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hashknife Cowboy Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I'm with you! Lets talk about anything cowboy! Big rodeo right now in Woodward OK, 2 weeks till Prescott AZ Worlds Oldest Rodeo and we recently did a pack trip into the forest in eastern AZ. We had no cellular service, slept out beneath the stars, drank our coffee black and had bacon and eggs in the early morning. We talked about horses, guns, history and created memories. We also threatened to deal with any one who spoke of taboo topics that are making people crazy. God Bless Society Distancing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Everyone may be sick and tired of hearing about all this, and reading threads about all this....BUT....come November, all of us, plus our family, and friends, and anybody else that hunts, target shoots, plinks, does C.A.S., or collects firearms, better get out and VOTE....or we are in for some really tough times, as far as our sport goes. if you eat, you are involved in at least two things....agriculture, and politics. So get everyone you can think of, and go vote, this year of all years. Voting is a small step, doesn't require much effort...but it can, and does, have huge implications to what we care about. W.K.

Mine did. We're all paid off too! We learned from our Depression-era parents. Retirement home is paid off and waiting for us to move in full time. Cars are paid off. Jr.'s college is paid for. No credit card or other debt. Not bragging. It's just a matter of doing without unnecessary expenditures, watching your credit spending, and planning ahead to stay within your means when retired. Even with all of that, it's a bit of a shocker, after years of having the ability to buy stuff on credit, when you need to realize that you do not have 10 or 20 years of earning in front of you to cover the cost of a car or boat or a home addition.
