Stumpy, do you have a nice wall to shoot the wood chips over into the neighbor's yard?

Amen to that Norts. Best place to have lived growing up. Definitely feel blessed for that. California had it all.... outstanding weather, unlimited outdoor activities, incredible and seemingly endless employment opportunities. Sadly its not so much nowadays. I think we enjoyed the best it had to offer.
^ I’m glad I lived in Northern California when I did. It was a paradise.
12-35 years old in Northern California. Going back to see the kids in May and will be in SF, Sonoma County, Humboldt County, up into southern Oregon, down through Weed Mt. Shasta and the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys to LA and back up the coast. Really looking forward to it.
A fling here moved back to her large family farm near Stockton to raise her young boy after a few years of separation from his Thai father.
Seeing all the nature stuff they get up to, I can't say it doesn't look like the correct decision.
At the time the only thing I knew about Stockton was the Diaz brothers. MMA fighting legends not a country and western duo. Looks like a fun city to party in.
I think most adults nowadays think where they grew up was paradise. Thinking back to us growing up hanging out and biking round the woods, castles, and the lakes etc etc.
I think it's probably down to seeing how people are growing up nowadays more than anything else - head stuck in a phone in their room 24/7, or sitting with their friends wherever with their heads in a phone, as I've mentioned before, even with their bladdy headphones in looking at their phones in restaurants or walking with their friends. What a shitty way to grow up compared to running around woods and castles and all sorts of cool places without any of that zombiefying shite.
Thanks. :-) *ribbit*
My wife and I heading back in November to see my Pops. This time we are working to get our niece set up to come. My Dad would like to see her. They connected a long time ago when he was here. I think we will rent a big motor home and do a road trip from the wine country, to SF, San Diego then blitz over to Las Vegas to see my racing buddies and take her out on the town. Then come back north. My Dad will come with us which will be good for him to get out and about. Should be a blast if she can get it squared away. My wife and I are helping her with the visa application.
