As a corp tech manager, I was always on call except when on vacation. So, 24 / 7, the central help desk could call and I'd have to get on the phone, online, rally the troops and fix stuff. Could be 20 mins, could be hours. Sometimes have to drive to the office.

Didn't get paid anything beyond my salary. But I was responsible, regardless.

Well you didn't hang out with us in Morgantown. That was an amazingly unique fun time for my crew. Wish we could play up there again.

Just like Kirby / UGA was the last game. Georgia gifted Ole Piss that game IMO.

I think Miami struggles to score and OM wins easily.
Why would you think either of those things?

Did Ole Piss portal in a new defense?

GTFO

Who are you talking about, Ole Piss or Miami?

Exactly.

Yes. Because we can.

Come to the side of the alpha males or piss off.
Can't disagree. I've always thought that would be great to have been a young man there. Maybe starting in the late 40's even. Hot rods, beaches, boys could still be boys.

BUT, my experience was pretty damn good. Grew up in the 70's in Charleston, SC. Worked in a gas station with a bunch of flyboys and squids,.They all had hot rods, girls and weed. Learned how to surf, work on a car, and a bunch of bad vices. They got me in to the strip clubs near the Navy base and sold me wholesale Columbian Gold / Panama Red. I was quite popular in HS. Dad raced at Summerville Speedway, sports, blah blah blah.
I retired last year at 62.

My advice to you is to prioritize your health as your new job.

So many people I know didn't do this before / after retirement and after 60 went downhill in a matter of a few years. To the point that now their lives are a series of doctor visits and new drugs that may help them feel better.

I've always been fit / exercised via running, cycling, lifting etc., so not much of a transition for me. I try to go to the gym 5 times a week to lift. I stretch, do machines and some free weights for an hour - I'm not a powerlifter by any means. BUT, I don't have any back or joint issues like my siblings / parents and most of my friends. It does get old doing the same thing day after day, but it sure seems to work.

I also just got me an E MTB. I was a big mountainbiker for years but now have Afib, which makes climbing tough. My new bike still requires pedalling but climbing is much easier. I'm redisovering my love for trail riding.

I've averaged walking 7.5 miles / day this year. Doctor visit the other day my BP was 112/64.

TLDR; exercise every day.

Both QB's are terrific.

Who is the TCU OC? Dang.

It’s probably too late for me on that. I’m 41 and I’m not giving up my freedom and peace to take in some over the hill woman with 2 kids who is looking for a “stable man” after getting to have her fun sleeping around. And I know it would be really difficult to get a woman in her mid to late 20s as I’m not a rich baller.
Funny. For your OP, you got downvoted, but then you added this sentiment and guys are like - OK, I get it.

More power to you. Don't let what other people think guide your life. Phuck em.
Yes, Christmas morning no less.

And again yesterday.

Happy Holidays!

Helped the wife straighten up the house, cook a little, wrap presents.


But then I went and picked up a present for myself: my rebuilt 2003 Kaw ZRX1200R from the shop. Which I will ride later this afternoon.




After which I'll ride another present to myself, an AMFLOW Carbon PL. I just got it on sale, weighs 45 lbs with the strongest Class 1 EMTB motor made.



Merry Christmas Mother Truckers!

Yeah I thought my wife was buying some healthy new drink for my senior HS football player son.

Then I read the ingredients, and put a stop to that crap.

An 18 yo kid who goes to the extreme on all other areas of his diet has no business with a drink that has 200 mg of caffiene.
Must be the class of women you hang out. Sounds like a bunch of low braw shite.
She's perfect.

Thank you for introducing us.

I'm already here. Fixing to spend a couple hours working on my trails, prepping the spot for my new building, and ride my e-dirtbike until dark.

See ya.
