How can a cheap American buy a HOUSE in the 1st. World ?

Yo me río.

 

glad you can laugh, HOYT! hope it isn't tears later when Tampa is the north pole!

 

Why not? The North Pole is always 90 degrees!

 

And under water-- present elivation-12 feet above sea level --

 

So, how do they paint the candy cane style, spiral barber pole stripes on it, if the north pole is under water???? :?

 

I at 25ft. above sea level and with a nice workshop with spray equiptment can do it for Uncle Sam -charge the military contract pricing -- retire sale down and install it.

 

HUh? Why is maintenance of North Pole Uncle Sams obligation? It's either Canadian territory, or adjacent to. Or would you prefer Russia do it. They'd probably put an onion dome on top instead of a finial.

 

Someone stated Tampa would become the North Pole --Not mentioning any names but it was post 257--- and speaking of work --i better get my *** in gear to the shop getting the rig ready.

 

When the North Pole is in Tampa, I volunteer to paint it personally. Water paints. At 30 degrees below zero, it'll resemble armor plating!

 

Viking,
sorry to have detained you. Iknow you prefer to work in the cool of the day, before it gets too hot!

 

On my way to the shop -couldn't resist--outside temp. 55deg. F sunny --only a long sleeve T shirt on - Had to go get my camera and send these photos The dock and mooring area--Looking in the bay far shore approx 1/2 mile away--Looking out the bay- at about 3 miles you can see the opening to the ocean. --My retriet --The 84 CJ7 project is in the left bay--The motorhome in the center bay which is where i usually build and where the boat will be moved to when the keel is installed ---The boat build is in the Right bay working on the keel.

 

Looks like paradise. Congratulations, Viking

 

You're right,the fog and rain out here is not nice. Up the coast, August is known as "Fogust and after that till May-ish the inlets can be socked in for days on end.

Right now in Van there is quite a bit of snow,and it's -5 out. Areas in the Fraser Valley have had 25 to 40 cm of snow a few days this week.

yah that did kinda sound like I was planing to emigrate to Alaska, no Hoyt I'm not quite that dumb but I appreciate the thought.

Deal is I could probably get my Canadian citizenship not only because both my parents were Canadian but due to the Iroquois thing as well. They have great health care up there which is something this nation will never have ( thank you republitards ) . So for us poor boys its important to plan out our pilgrimage accordingly. I'd like to think the retire to Alaska and do eco tours plan will work out but it never hurts to have a back up thats as practical as one can make it. = buy a piece of dirt overlooking some water and long for the day I can afford to.

I'm not that old and I'm still running about 3 miles every other day or so, so I'm thinking I'm in reasonable shape. But the day will eventually come when a little health care will go a long way. Gotta figure out how to deal with that and not break the bank.

 

AHHHH...when the sun shines in Nova Scotia its paradise !!! I vote for more sunshine.

Im too old, who cares about the deficit............................................................................
