…..who is 24 years younger than I, and is also a Registered Nurse, and like you, a good one.  One door closes and another one opens. We’ve been married now for 30 years this month, and God willing, we’ll have many more years together. She is the most wonderful and amazing person I’ve ever met.

When I built the ranch I did my own doctoring of livestock, logged a 1000 acre woodlot adjoining the ranch, owned and operated every conceivable piece of equipment from D-8 Cats to large excavators to log skidders and loaders, drove my own logging truck, Was the dump contractor for 3 small BC communities, and the Hydroseeder Contractor for 5 Northern BC Forest Districts, and built my ranch from scratch from the Canadian bush. I can honestly say to most everything, “I’ve been there and done that”, and done it all successfully.

Before moving to Canada I was a licensed Real Estate Salesman, a Notary, had a brief career in Consumer Finance with HFC and GECC and a longer one in Variable Annuities, was twice the top producer in the USA for Variable Annuities, then became National Field Service Director for Aetna in their home offices in Washington DC, then Alaska State Manager for Hartford, and I retired at age 33 to do the things I mentioned above.

I’m living proof that Anything works if you do, so YOU GO GIRL! All The Best From SNG

Don’t misunderstand what I’m saying, nursing is demanding,  I didn’t waste my time and energy on things you don’t use and if you don’t use it you will the start to forget.amd lose it anywsys and two after growing up around steel workers my father fought so hard continually even thought about it At home, he cared about keeping them working and for wages that can support their family that not to interfere with someone else’s job or means of supporting themselves other than being interested in what they do or building. So I just kinda grew up that way.

Also figured out they needed nurses through their life style..

Lol you know a lot of what you said is a foreign language to me. I don’t know what those things are but I get what you could make out of it. I would want hydro too if I could get it.

Now I’m all excited with a good Geiger counter and more wide range high sensitivity, reads up to 10 Retros where most you only get I and much more I haven’t learned yet and takes battery’s. What’s good about those rechargable battery’s that need electricity to run when there is no electricity. A friend trained in that stuff picked it out for me because I trusted her opinion a boy did she find a good one for less than 200 no less  so I ordered it today so that will give me something fun to do.

Cell Phones? Never owned one and never will! When I moved to Canada 50 years ago there was not even a phone booth within 15 miles. Then they installed one 7 miles away, and if I had a pocket full of quarters I could drive to that phone booth and talk long distance for a few minutes…..so I bought a CB truckers radio and put it in the log house I built using logs from my property which I cut, pealed, and seasoned, then built our log home. The CB radio operated on a 12 volt battery so we were not completely without communication. Next, in order to get Hydro (electricity), I developed my own hydro system by diverting a creek for three miles by digging a trench so I could run water over a 60 ft bank into a Mitchel Banke turbine a friend of mine built for me, which we attached with belts and pulleys to a generator. Next we ran power poles from the generator site to my ranch headquarters which was another 1/3rd mile away, and just like that, 6 months later, with the snap of the fingers and a hell of a lot of hard work, we had electricity.

There ain’t no free lunch but life is Silverngold!

She hit the nail on the head there. Also why is it for one country to prosper does another have to suffer. Now we have AI that’s gonna thats going to replace millions of jobs.

It goes with your genes and energy levels that and good morals. I had still have that energy too but the CMT its like a bolder in your path and if you do too much talking about pain if you do what your nerves say is too much or even sudden cold    you have  to think if its worth the gain or even jumping in that water ” sudden cold ” at any opportunity. At first I figured I was getting a message from God I had to slow down so I didn’t work myself to death

It makes you think harder when mobility gets harder when you see abled bodied people now sitting around staring at their phones all day, missing the most important things in their life staring at a screen.  Not realizing once that times past you can’t get it back. The kid who needs help doing something, the dog who wants to play or go for a walk instead of sitting there all day watching them stare at their phone, playing ball with your kid, showing up for their game or doing something with their significant other,  put those dam things down once in awhile before it’s too late and can’t make that time up anymore.  You don’t have time, make time.

Winners never quit and quitters never win!

And, the harder I work, the luckier I get!

And, if you find yourself in a hole, quit digging!

And, almost anything works if you do, but nothing works if you don’t.

And, the Lord helps those who help themselves.

And, if you hold out your hand, do it to GIVE, not to receive!

And, no pain, no gain!

They are all Silver and Gold words to live by.

You have good genes. Part Energizer bunny.

You can fly with other forms of ID esp government issued but better be there earlier cuz it will take longer. Non compliance delays

Is DHS Secretary Kristi Noem lying to the public about Real ID? Watch and decide.

So, make no mistake, you do not need a Real ID to fly—and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is a liar.

Gee – I wonder if The Donald is a liar too? – or any of them? – gee I wonder.

Act accordingly

I’d like to add a couple of things I’ve been harping about lately. It’s important to have a consistent food supply. What I/we have done is go volunteer our time to help a farmer and rancher. That not only saves us (and them) money, it also provides top quality food to our diet. Nothing like fresh vegetables, nuts, fruits, berries, meat and eggs to lock in to your future as things get tougher, and you’ll find that farmers and ranchers, who have to live close to the land and treat it properly,  are among the most honest and caring people on this earth. They are not in it to get rich, they ARE rich in the lifestyle and freedom they have….so go make friends with a few farmers and ranchers instead of going to the gym. You’ll get in much better shape and at the same time be helping others while also helping yourself.

And the one other thing that is equally, or even more important is INTEGRITY! I’ve been harping on this a lot lately. Be honest with yourself and with everyone you know and everything you do. When you have a choice, always make the one you believe is right. Remember that God hates all liars, and so does most every other honest person in the world. Tell the truth to yourself, and to everyone you know and meet, and watch how it comes back to you many times over. It will make you wealthy in the things that count, and  your life beautiful. Integrity is the real SILVER AND GOLD!
