LOL. Funny, that you would say that. Yup, I can both sail and fly. I used to be a Naval Aviator in my younger days. Heh heh. And there is nothing... nothing like sailing.

When I lived in Indiana, I would drive four hours up North to go spend a day sail with some strangers on their 50’ yawl.

Life is too short not to enjoy it. I look back on my life and see things that I did not take advantage of, and opportunities lost. Life is too short to pass up a pizza and beer. If it is a nice day, go out and go into the wood with your dog. If you can try some brook fishing. If you are too old, then take a ride in your beater and do some mud slinging. Men we are never too old for the basic pleasures in life.

There are things that I like to do now where I live. But that doesn’t stop me from enjoying what I can. Spend time with friends. Enjoy that cup of coffee. Use real salted butter on your toast.

Don’t ya think?

I do indeed Sir, and thanks for your service to our country.!

I too served in the military. I was Regular Army.. I was a fire control crewman on the "Nike Hercules" missile system, acquisition operator.. In 1965 while my most unfortunate brothers in arms were sucking mud in Nam I was setting in an air conditioned radar van over looking the Yellow Sea in Korea, and loving every minute of it... I spent a year there and two years at McGregor Range in New Mexico.

Nowadays I spend most of my time riding my Honda sxs in Wayne National Forest and eating giant egg and bacon sandwiches made for me by my wonderful wife of fifty years..

Good luck to you Sir, and like the old Irish saying goes, “May you be in Heaven three days before the Devil knows your dead…“ :)
