LOL, Mike, you saw our house in Gold Hill, did that look like the house of independent wealth? 😂 Nope, not wealthy. We're using the proceeds from that home sale to buy/build our new place here. I've been working online as a freelancer for a couple of years now, and I'm still doing that. gnob's plan is to open up a shop here. We still work, but here part-time work pays the bills. We're calling it "semi-retirement" lol.

Sounds like you are getting there at mango plus speed. That roof looks perfect to set up my tent! And that fences should help keep the local girls from taking advantage of an old gringo! I am really glad you two's dreams are progressing. Godspeed!

I have been thinking about this all day, and I wish I had brought all of my running gear, LOL! Seriously, though, I miss my Instant Pot the most. I didn't realize how much I used that thing until I didn't have it anymore!

Sounds like he needs a pair of truck pants. I have a car jacket and car chapstick. Which reminds me, it's time to take my car chapstick out before it starts melting everywhere. You are definitely making me want to live under a mango tree!!!
