I think you hit the nail on the head Blackchipjim,,,,,time on this earth vs living. I also have attended a couple funerals that shouldn't have been. Their days ended long ago.blackchipjim said:
And Shad and Pelerus nice points....Never thought of it that way. Money has never been a huge deal for me and the wife. We live very simple lives. She enjoys animals, and i enjoy her enjoying her animals. So life is good,,, but,,,it became much better when my AP world took off. I had to put in alot of hours away..sometimes far away. But when we look at those days of past it was worth it. Before those days was construction, i also was gone , but not far away. But aquiring any wealth during my construction days was hard for the hours spent.
I guess the answer is to bring the wife along...or fly her in for a few days at a time.
It is true that money cant buy happiness ......but it sure can ease the burden of poorness (is that a word:laugh
. Maybe it boils down to ... you can take the boy away from the farm , but you can't take the farm out of the boy. So once an AP .....always an AP???? Possibly with a little more moderation later in life.
Well ....the wife went to work .. I guess i should pack and get ready to hit the road for my work. Ga. is hot as hell right now!!!! I need to find some airconditioning with a nice fat "Play".
Really fat!!!!500 an hr. hmmmmmmm.:laugh::laugh:
