Puerto Rico is a lot of fun as a tourist. No idea how it is as a
resident. Beach, dance, drink, repeat probably gets old after a
few years.

Nope. NOT HAPPENING!!! Can't blame a guy for trying, but
I'll put it in the bathroom if nothing else works. My wife was
trying to persuade me to move to Puerto Rico a while back so
my retirement pay would stretch farther. Then she said "Of
course we'll have to sell your tool..." didn't get to finish
the sentence. I told her if we do that, the tools are the
first thing to get packed. Told her we could throw away every
bit of furniture we had, and not miss it. The tools would
likely be impossible to replace. And if I don't have them, I
don't have any reason to be anymore. What I do, for fun and
profit, is fix stuff & make stuff. Since then she's been
aiding and abetting me. Heck, she made the deal to buy my SB
Heavy 10L restoration project. So I owe her a bit more in the
kitchen department, among other places. I did buy her a $4K
bed. Though it would really be easier to move to someplace
with a proper shop building and decent kitchen space. For both
of us.

We don't even HAVE a kitchen table right now. And
if we did, there'd be no place to put it, as our
kitchen is a pit. It's more like a hallway to the
back door. There is what we used to call a dining
room, around the corner, but the refrigerator and
the shelves we use as a pantry, some cabinets that
have the pots, pans, dishes, and some food, and her
sewing area use up all of that space and then some.
I keep getting these letters telling me some idiot
wants to pay cash for my house. One of these days I
may just call one of them and see what they're
offering. There are only three of us eating here,
these days, so it's not as bad as when the girls
were here, but this place is too small for us and
our junk. I'm trying to trim some of my junk, so I
can fit it in the space I have.

SWMBO tolerates my hobbies because I
also use them to fix thing she needs
fixed. Also, I equate her kitchen (cooking
is her major hobby) as her workshop, and
try not to stint her on the things she
needs for it. The first Damascus bladed
knives in the house were for her kitchen,
for example. She has a new range that's
being delivered Friday, and as soon as I
can figure out exactly what we need, she's
getting a new counter top mounted about
6"-8" lower than the current one.
