My wife is my best friend, really my only friend ha, and we do most everything together. That being said, I like alone time and there’s a few things I’d like to do myself one day when the kids are older; ride a motorcycle across the country, and backpack in the Bob Marshall wilderness in MT. I also plan on lots of solo hiking/fly fishing trips when I’m older.

Selling Beretta 92FS Brigadier Inox for $800. It has 2 15 round magazines, 3 dot sights, case and an extra set of aftermarket grips.

Well, there’s one in my inlaws’s pantry still going. It was in the kitchen of our house when we bought the place 25 years ago. We moved it to Mississippi and it’s been there working ever since.

Today is the 24th wedding anniversary for my wife and I but 26 years together total. From nearly the beginning we have taken separate vacations and vacations together nearly every year. She likes the beach. If I am near the ocean I need to be on a boat with a fishing pole in hand. Even when we take a beach vacation together we spend our days apart, we do normally go to dinner together though. She also does the girls week at the beach with some of the girlfriends fairly often and I skip that. I ride my motorcycles a lot and enjoy travel by motorcycle including camping off the bike. I ride in excess of 25,000 miles a year many years. She likes to ride for an hour or two and stay in the local area when riding with me. I have no issue riding in excess of 500 miles a day or going to the other side of the country on a whim. Her idea of camping is a 2 star hotel. She does get a touch jealous when I am stopping places she would love to see but not jealous enough to ride there with me. to combat that I have flown her out in the middle of some of my trips so she could spend a couple days with me in a new area/city. Next big ride will be Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. I will fly her into Halifax so she can ride the Cabot Trail with me for a couple days before I drop her back off for a flight home while I head to the Newfoundland via ferry and ride the Trans Labrador highway back around to Quebec. She will probably only ride 500 of the ~8000 mile trip with me. For my ~11,000 mile trip to Tuktoyaktuk and Alaska she has stated that I must also be willing to go on an Alaskan Cruise with her so she can see Alaska as well. She has no desire to ride with me in Alaska since she is not comfortable riding pilon off-road. I figured that was a fine compromise since I get to see Alaska twice! We both love travel in general so we will pick a city or country we want to visit and plan a trip together every year or so. We normally spend a week exploring a new place. We love to walk and eat our way through a city. We do some of the tourist stuff but most of the time we try to "live" there for a week and get a feel for the place. We will go to a show/play/concert most places as well if we can find something interesting that still has tickets available.

This is a great representation of this rare model. Action is tight, wood and bluing are really nice. Must be legal to own. Text is best 615-504-1491. $1150

Thank you for the information. I knew this forum would cover this topic and glad I found it. Just did a Life membership for TFA. GOA is hopefully next.

Highway 1 would be fun. Don't wait to long. I am a solid 10 to 15 years from retirement and I have been doing at least 1 long trip every year on the bike. Before the one I already mentioned I did a loop all the way around the Great Lakes and crossed most of Ontario. Also did a bunch of A1A with a little I-95 down to Key West and back to TN. After Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, the Yukon, and Alaska I will probably be headed to Baja and other points south. I would love to do South America but that will probably require shipping a bike there or just flying in and buying one there.

That sounds awesome! I’d really like to incorporate highway 1 in California if it hasn’t fell into the ocean by the time I retire.

Last year I did exactly that. So worth it. I will be doing several more versions of this taking different routes, i.e. more northern or central. My basic route was Middle TN -> Northern NM -> Moab UT -> Grand Canyon NP -> RT66 to Las Vegas -> Death Valley NP -> Joshua Tree NP -> San Diego, CA -> Junction, TX -> Jacksonville Beach Florida -> Richmond, VA -> Middle TN. 17 days, 7300 miles.

Built this from an old pallet to display a couple old shotguns in the home office/gym

Thanks

29 yrs married and still happily. We're not big TV watchers per se, but on the weekends my wife will chill out and watch Hallmark and Great American Family movies, most of which I can't stand. She hates the action stuff I like to watch. So we usually end up watching different things in two different rooms when we do. I'll sometimes break down and watch something with her she is watching just to spend time with her. She'll sometimes do things with me she doesn't really care to do. That's called relationship. When it comes to vacations, fortunately we both mostly like doing the same things. We both don't like the beach and would much rather be in a cabin in Gatlinburg or the like.

Half way through dinner and I think people who are into trains would love it. Apparently you can ride on a steam engine train.
