I spend a ton of time in the pool. Nothing is more relaxing that have a drink with some big band crooners on a nice Bose speaker. I listen to Sinatra, Martin, Buble and many others floating around in an inflatable seat or floating mat. Sometimes on a floating mat looking at the clouds for hours. Before I get out I swim a couple laps. Not for the exercise but just for the serenity. Nothing but woods past my pool so it's serene.
I live near the ocean and nothing is better than rough NJ surf. I love body surfing or just playing in the waves for sometimes hours. Something about Jersey girls with their Jersey vibe on the beach. I also run the boardwalk Off season. The serenity is amazing looking at the ocean and the boardwalk is pretty barren of people. In season the bikini watching on the broadwalk is fun too as I run.
My daughter and her husband work unusual long hours and a few days a week they drop off their dog. I feel like it's my dog. He lives to be my buddy. Across the street from my house if I walk in between houses and follow a trail it puts me in a small forest with a lake. I don't know how in a residential neighborhood so few know about it. I take the dog in there and have seen all kinds of wildlife. I've seen snakes, foxes, deer, Egrets, turtles, hawks and possibly an eagle but it flew so fast I'm not sure. I can walk in there three days a week for a year and come across maybe three humans. It's like stepping into an alternate universe. The lake has a feed stream and an exit stream. Someone made a primitive log bridge that you risk getting dunked with one wrong step but so far me and Blue make it every time.
The wife and I like to get away on vacations when there is discretionary money. Lately it has been plenty of heading out to see my son in the military. He's Army Airborne. We have traveled to Texas, Georgia and Oklahoma to see him. Our last vacation was to Miami south beach. Fun place but there are so many money rip offs. If you go realize restaurants add a 20% tip but don't tell you. If you don't pay attention you could tip 40% and of course they won't inform you. Plenty of other scams. One bar added a bottle of champagne on my bill thinking I bet I was from Europe like the rest of the bar was from. I'm from Jersey, I'm not getting scammed.
Lately binge watching shows on Netflix and Amazon prime. Just finished the Sopranos for the second time. It stills holds up and is the standard all of these other series have to live up to. It was fun watching because I know all the places used on the show from my time living in North Jersey. I now live down the shore.
I like target shooting with my firearms though I been drifting away from it due to lack of time.
