To best knowledge, was the 2016 thread never made, or was it lost to a crash or purge?

It was aight I guess. Status quo.

Made a bunch of money. Stayed in decent shape. Flew airplanes, went out on the boat, rode motorcycles a lot with the bros. Dated or hooked up with a few really hot chicks. Sent my daughter off to college—the strained relationship with a teenager of the last couple of years seems to be getting slightly better since then.

It’s a good life, relatively. No real advancements in substantive ways, though.

I have so many questions. Where do you take your boat? Do you meet anyone around that is not an attorney? Seems like everyone successful we meet is either a small biz owner, dentist or attorney.

I don't know any dentists other than mine, and don't know any attorneys locally other than the ones I've hired or had opposing me.

My social circle is basically a few people at work, my motorcycle friends (we have a group of maybe 10-15 dudes, and some of us ride street, dirt, or racetrack almost every weekend and sometimes plan trips, or just get together to drink beers, work on bikes, go out on boats, etc), and a couple of people in the aviation scene.

I mostly stay between Orange Beach (Robinson Island and Bird Island) and Destin (Crab Island) with my boat. I've take it out in the Gulf a couple of times. I've trailered it out to 30A and then taken it from there to Panama City Beach. I've gone a little further west, like Gulf Shores area, but never all the way to Mobile Bay (although I have previously on a jet ski). Mostly it's cruising around the bay and hanging out at sand bars at Pensacola Beach, Ft Pickens and Ft McRee, or Orange Beach...and various waterfront bars and restaurants in between. Oh, and Juana's out in Navarre sometimes, which is also a hangout frequented by my motorcycle guys.

The boat is for sale, though. I'd rather have the money invested somewhere; I don't use the boat enough now that my daughter is off to college. Might buy a jet ski or something.
