Congrats on your retirement! Now you got six Saturdays and a Sunday! Got a buddy that just retired a year or so back. He loves just sauntering down to the kitchen for coffee and to read the paper (whatever that is) at 9:00 AM everyday. My #1 goal when I retire: Escape Illinois! |

Dave, You know I bailed Illinois and couldn't be happier! Part time at the HD isn't that bad and fills in some gaps in SS. I also have a wood boat friend who just bought here in Three Lakes. He's bailing out of Illinois too. He's in McHenry county which is listed as the #1 highest tax county is Illinois!  ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

| Pete....I know you are up in the land of sky blue waters livin' the dream! I am looking at the tv screen for a business show that has a banner that says "IL tops the list for high tax states". We are in McHenry county too. The belly of the beast!! I have been dropping some $$ at HD to buy supplies to get this dump fixed up and ready for sell. Been looking at TN, FL, and of course WI (which ain't a low tax state). |

Reminds me of the old https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=from+the+land+of+sky+blue+waters+bear&&view=detail&mid=A4382FAD0AEA7237F77AA4382FAD0AEA7237F77A&&FORM=VDRVRV" rel="nofollow - "land of sky blue waters" commercials. Yes, the taxes up here aren't the best but the 4 up here sure beats the 4 and the 18 I was at in Illinois!  ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

| Gary don’t know why you bother with Illinois at all. You can’t even boat from your home up here. The Chain is closed more than it is open. |

I'll be hopping on the snowmobile to get there. You'll be needing that boat in a few years when the rising sea levels turn Florida into a 100 degree 100% humidity swamp.. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

| Gary, how much sea level rise have you seen in all the years you’ve been down there? |

Yea your right. Only problem is I got too much stuff here to move.,although after 37 years of ownership we got rid of this old beater. Made a good size dent don't have to jockey as much around now.  ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

We only have about 11 years left anyway Pete. You know we are only about 5 feet above sea level down there. I have pictures going back to 81 when they bought the place. I look across the canal and look at my neighbors fish cleaning table and it's drain cemented through the dock wall. Makes a good reference point on water levels. I notice the tidal changes on it- never have noticed the rising sea levels..... ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

Gary, It must suck getting old and fragile that you have to hide in the south because it’s to cold for your frail white legs.  I say let it snow I’m about tired of this dam heat and humidity.  Cant wait to get the sleds out  ]

It doesn't seem like six Saturdays. It's like Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday... Can't believe how fast Wednesday comes, it's like Monday and Tuesday don't exist. ------------- Tim D |
