More Cowbell Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Well I normally work on Sundays so went to work without having to worry about setting the DVR, caught up on the new seasons of Marvelous Mrs. Masile and Raised By Wolves, started to binge watch Stranger Things and Squid Games, and watched Part1 of Get Back. Streams are great time killers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I wrong? Is it everything I think it is? Better? Inquiring minds want to know I lived my first 55 years, essentially, on Long Island. Started planning this retirement in my early 40s. Visited a number of places, mostly in Mexico, and decided on this place. It has a small town feel, but also an amazing number of really good restaurants. I get by without Spanish, although I keep promising myself that I’ll start learning some more. I crunched all the numbers left, right, and sideways, and thought for sure that I had to be missing something, but I wasn’t. Currently have a two bedroom house two blocks from the Caribbean for less than half of what I was paying for a two bedroom apartment in NY, and just bought a house in town that I’ll be moving into next month after they finish the pool I’m having put in. There’s a decent sized expat community here. Every one of us heard something along the lines of, “why would you move to Mexico?” Either you get it or you don’t. Have to be a little patient. Learn that mañana doesn’t always mean tomorrow, and go with the flow. It’s not for everyone, but it’s definitely for me. If you think you’d like it, I recommend spending some time down here and seeing for yourself. 4 minutes ago, kevinc855 said: How do you catch the games out there? Satellite? Last year I was using Reddit streams, but this year I bit the bullet and bought the NFL International package. Every game, Redzone channel… I think I paid $125. Well worth it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to live off Millan Dr. - by Northport and Centerport Harbor and was back on the docks and fishing every day as a kid. Lots of snapper and flounder But Ice fishing looks friggin awesome and you don't even need a cooler for the beer! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenFish Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 The weather starts to get consistently nice in central Texas in Feb. We get more active as a family around this time. Yesterday, we went for a family bike ride, took the kids to the playground, my wife and I went for a long walk, and I watched the kids play in the backyard. My wife and daughter also squeezed in time to play some dance game on the switch. We also go to Church every Sunday. I’ll probably start consistently BBQ on the weekends soon. Without football though, January’s would be awful. At least we have holidays to look forward to in November and December. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munchmemory Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 14 hours ago, Green Ghost said: Sorry Munch. This post touched my heart though. I lost my mom about a 1 1/2 years ago, and I can’t tell you how often she’s in my dreams. I asked my sisters and dad if it happens with them, but I’m the only one. My sisters say “you were always her favorite, guess you still are…” Talk about "touching my heart". Your post left me with such an impression of how we are all still so connected with our lost loved ones. Sorry about your loss as well, GG. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slats Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Just now, kevinc855 said: Dm me wirh condo prices lol Real estate is the only thing consistently going up here. This town’s population doubled since the last census, and some locals complain that us gringos are driving up prices - and they’re right. I moved down thinking I might rent forever, but rents have gone up a lot in the two years I’ve been here. Still, I had a two bed, two bath house in what we call, “the colonia,” which is more Mexican and about five minutes from the beach, or a $1.50 cab ride, that cost me $600/month. The house here that’s a short walk to the beach just went up from $900 to $1000. Houses here are generally attached, but I’m buying in a neighborhood of stand alone houses that’s rapidly getting gentrified. I paid about $150K for a house with a brand new kitchen and master bath, and am dropping another $25K for the pool and backyard that I won’t ever have to leave, lol. But there are two bed, one bath attached houses going for $70K in the colonia, in cute, gated communities. You can still get a waterfront one bed condo in the $150K range, but those prices are on the rise, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the Claw Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Sundays are for cleaning the house and doing yard work. I have the NFL streaming app so I have to wait until evening to watch Jets games. Aussie Rules Football is starting up again pretty soon so that will be fun.

Love Austin, but couldn’t make it work with the family - so we’re moving to Prosper as soon as your new build is finished (hopefully around May). Looking forward to all of this with two very young rugrats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
