Have you ever sailed?  I have.  It's a shitton of work.

It can be rewarding in its own way, but it's not my ideal of a good time.
Yes. It sucks.

I brew my own beer. I cure and smoke and slice my own bacon. Sure, it'd be easier to buy Miller Lite and store-bought bacon. But what's the fun in that?
Sometimes the work is its own reward.

I’m exhausted with the rewards I already have.  

I need my leisure activities to be leisurely.

Have I sailed? Yes. Quite a few times. Have I helped out somewhat with the sailing? Yes. 

Have I ever been the one in charge of the boat? Nope. 

So maybe I'm just looking at it through rose-colored glasses. 

But every time I've sailed I've enjoyed it more than I've enjoyed powerboating. There's just a certain serenity to it. It seems like the type of boating I'd prefer if I owned one.

My recommendation-- become fabulously wealthy, buy a nice big sailing yacht, and then hire out the captaining/sailing to someone else. :)

A boat is a hole in the water that you throw money into

Which reminds me, the name of my last boat, the 22' Cobalt, was Hole in the Wallet

I shop a lot at Costco.  I’ve seen it, but haven’t pulled the trigger. 

Give a review after you try it.

Kirkland wines are 98% outstanding in my experience, I'm more than willing to try their Lager.   It's one of my two favorite kinds of beer.  Might have one now.

Solid beer. Made by Deschutes, a well-known and well-respected brewery from Oregon. 

I generally buy a 12'er on my weekly Costco visits.

That sounds like a lot of work and then actually going to work? Then the wife,kids,house,yard,IPAs and the dog,dayum.And then hoisting masts and dodging yard arms and booms,plus posting here - are you some kind of masochist??? Not that there's anything wrong with that

Man now I want to buy a new boat!  This is probably what I'd get if I won the lotto...


I really enjoyed Jimbo's boat on Lake Michigan.
Could go below to mix a drink or whatever needed attention
Maybe I should buy another lotto ticket?
