Don't procrastinate—- times running out—-

No doubt about it Fuji, Le Casa is a superb authentic Mexican Restaurant—- run by a Mexican family.
Daughter is a waitress and absolutely drop dead gorgeous. I can heartily recommend it as the best eating place for miles around Tavares.
would be a lovely place to have the OFF dinner—- come to think of it —— we haven’t had a decent dinner since Jupiter!
Have to tell you Fuji—- I’ve always felt uncomfortable not knowing what to call you ? Joe , Tojo, Suji—or Kato——— always thought you might be of Far Eastern origin——- don’t suppose it’s any of my business, but you are a tad “Smarter than the average” when it comes to taking pictures, and I like to call my friends by a Christian name.!
I still call POWERABOUT “Pilgrim” because I never knew his name.
Sirois was always STAVROS—— Gary Stray has always been RATBAG—- my baby brother was called NIPPER —— even at 60 years old.
These are terms of endearment and nothing else !
But, if you want to travel through life “Anonymous” —- that’s your business.
Have a great Christmas—— May your God go with you!

Wow, I only saw the last picture posted on this page Fuji ——- scrolled backwards and saw the rest—- it really is a great eating establishment isn’t it—— I had CHILLI RELLANOS—- best I ever had ?
Have to tell you—— even Lasse would be envious of your photographic skills!

Buyer came and collected the trusty South Bend Lathe this morning—— sad to see it go—-but life doesn’t stand still —-Was time for change—— I could feel the chill at the back of my neck.
Looks like we’re on the move again—— this ole house is falling down and don’t have the time to fix the hole in my roof—— or the double glazing—— or the repaint!
Its easier to find somewhere fresh to fernagle.
Onlybeen here for three years——- I usually manage four or five years before the wanderlust hits——it came a little early this time !
Must be something I ate!

Your a renter, not an owner. Pain to move all the time, as the years carry on, especially with all your tools. How do you find the next cave where you are? Just get on the rag and bone & ask all the usual questions, or do you have someone to do that for you?

Owned my own house, all my life, paid the bank off in 1982 —— never had another mortgage—- moved to France in 2000 ——- bought four properties over the years—- bought them outright.
Didnt like paying mortgages or renting——- that way you only pay for it the once!
When we came back from France , couldn’t find exactly what I wanted, so I rented——- that was 9 years and three houses ago.
Im now past my prime and decided to buy a house so There’s a bit of security and a great workshop.
Dont ask anyone for anything Pilgrim—- I do all my own searching and deciding—- that way there’s only me to blame!

[jackiewilson]

By the way pilgrim——- it’s DOG AND BONE ——not RAG AND BONE —— just saying !

Hope you find the right place this time 'round. Yes, great to never have a mortgage, to be sure. I knew also, many years ago, once I had the first house paid off(made double payments on a short 15 year fixed rate mortgage), I could live for free, the rest of my life. It was a great feeling then & still is.

There is no other feeling like it in the world, the day you pay off the mortgage—- walked into the bank and thanked the bank manager for being a total sh-t ever since he first came to the bank! Grabbed him by the lapels and pulled him out of his chair and across the desk—— told him the interest he had charged me had paid his FECKIN wages if he lived to be a hundred! Told him to close the account and pay me the balance in cash.
It was even better than the feeling of getting laid for the first time —?

My parents taught us by example that being debt free in retirement is the key to peace of mind.
