Why do people not want to work?

[tjkubota93]

I'm still climbing ladders and scaffolds at 69, while the 40-somethings I know are all candy and cartoons the minute they get home from work.

It seems that if one of them doesn't get as much 'relax' time (reruns, spacebook) as spent on the job they should just sleep off the disappointment.

"I'll do it Saturday." (Saturday is either too hot or too cold to go outside, whole year is actually:laughing

Saturday: "Nothing good on. I worked so hard last Tuesday, I need a four hour nap this afternoon. (68^ and Sunny) I'll do that tomorrow."

Sunday: "What a beautiful day lets go out to eat and buy whatever cheap, crappy seasonal decorations are on sale on our way home."

Weekend breakfast is around twelve noon by 1:30 a movie has been chosen for that evening. Bath, joint, cigarette, and a rerun later it's 4:00 and too late to start anything. Never work for self later in the day than at job. "I'll do it next weekend."

I'm still having enough daylight by 9:00 to work outside but as we approach the equinox that'll change noticeably in a mere few weeks.

That's because you live up north

I buy my drinking water, thus avoiding a severe local outbreak of **** glaucoma. (Can't see one's a__getting off the couch)

I didn't handle the heat well this Summer at the 43rd parallel, dressed like Vlady Putin out there & seems I took half hour breaks every hour to cool off.

What I miss most in the heat is exercising besides riding my bicycle. I'm feeling my age, but don't want to slow down just to keep pace with the neighbors.

Good thing about owning 100 acres is that you can dress as you like. I can't take the heat either. Have an Early Warning System so nobody surprises you, or you them,:shocked: and a scatter gun at the ready for any pesky drones, out for Youtube footage.

You're not very remote if you have to worry about Drones.

I guess. Houses would be no less than five miles apart if I had my way. Longer if sound happened to travel especially well. Two weekends ago, we heard music and a DJ. Figured the neighbor was having a wedding or something. I went to investigate and think the music was coming from an event in town about fifteen miles away.

Were you gonna be a wedding crasher?

I had specifically asked my lady friend to pick up a 26oz of GIN for G&Ts, on the long hot weekend. She shows up with a Micky, so yes, I might have been looking for some additional refreshment.

100 acres sounds like a lot until you get on it.

I am actually a fan of high density housing for the masses, as long as I can have my space
I live on the water and sound carries from a long, long way away depending on the wind and waves.

Perspective, Mate.

6 acres is a lot if all you've known is a city/suburb Lot.
