Yup, and I also have finally found my best job in retirement.
Wake up, have coffee....decide if I should do some more work on the Cub.....maybe finish painting the Cri Cri....maybe paint the bottom of the sail boat.....maybe just do sweet fu.k all, my usual choice.
No more wake up and check the weather and check out of a hotel room go to the airport and spend hours dealing with bureaucracy in some shit hole country or even worse sit at some Godforsaken airport on red alert at the mercy of some idiot from MNR or some other province......
Now I will wait for the comments....

The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no
After over a half a century of flying no one ever died because of my decision not to fly.

I hear ya, man as I have been into “my usual choice” as of late but the WX is gonna be quite nice down this way for the next few days( notice I didn’t specify the weekend cause it is all weekend for us right). My neighbor’s wife is away for a few days so it’s gonna be a couple of t-bones on the “Q”for us and washing it down with some good ole red ale. The deck work and the wife’s flower bed and bird houses are gonna wait until tomorrow… next day…….. day after, maybe.

I like this thread
I recently turned down an opportunity to fly some really big equipment for some really big money. In the end the personal cost was just too great to make it happen. I hope I have made the right decision, but only time will tell. The way I see it the road is long and most opportunities are not once in a life time.
All that being said, ideal life style would be; good pay, time off, well maintained equipment, a boss who supports me when I need it, a variety of destinations and competent co-workers. Of course this is just an ideal.
